27 Best Italian Restaurants near Coon Rapids

“Best cheese bread on the planet and make sure to order double crust pizza you won’t be disappointed!“

“Visited here with three companions for an early dinner. I arrived early and was seated in a nice booth, informing Maria, my smiling happy server, that I would like her to order for me. After delivering a basket of the pleasantly salty/garlicy breadsticks (the first of three) my companions arrived and ordered. My diet coke with fruit was served up, and the big bowl of Caesar salad arrived (the first of two) fresh and delicious. Maria surprised me with a plate of Steak & Shrimp Bucatini, the best thing we ate that day. Also ordered were the Lasagna Fritta as a shared appetizer that received unanimous approval, the Chicken Parm, and Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara. My only complaint was that my was served very warm instead of hot. It was definitely a pleasant experience, Maria was perfectly attentive and helpful, and we ended up taking up space in that booth for almost two hours laughing and having a great time.“

“Food is always good. Crystal is always checking on us. She has our drinks as soon as we sit down!!“

“Went to try the buffet served on Monday nights. The salad bar was fresh and delicious. The Pizzas came out quickly and often and the area was kept clean and stocked. The staff was friendly and hospitable.

The tater tots on the buffet was an odd choice but went well with the chicken wings.“

“My wife and I had a late lunch on Tuesday at the Maple Grove Olive Garden. Our waiter’s name was Shine. I talked to Derrick, the general manager regarding how well cooked the chicken was on my meal. It was cooked properly and was still very tender and juicy. The manager was very nice to talk too and explained how their cooks are trained well and use a temperature probe to always assure that the chicken is cooked to the correct temp. My wife and I had a great lunch, in fact brought food home for dinner too. Great general manager and Shine is a great waiter. Overall experience was fantastic, well done Olive Garden!“

“I have been ordering from Umbria pizza for at least 7 to 10 years best pizza hands down ever I just wish I lived closer Nick and his family are a great team“

“Best pizza in the Twin Cities and wonderful service as well. Their original crust is thick and very buttery, yet crispy on the outside and fluffy but chewy inside. The other ingredients are high quality too. They now have brownies which are baked fresh with any order, the size of a small pizza, under 10 dollars. Not much not to love.“

“Waitstaff was great!! Will definitely return! Thanks again“

“We ordered Delivery, our order ETA was about 70 minutes. After 10 min past the estimated time, I gave them a call. They explained it was just coming out of the oven. I asked was it normal to have such long Delivery times... The CSR told me that they were short staffed on in house and driver's. It came about 90 minutes total time. The pizza was nice and hot. And the BBQ bone in wings we're really good. It was all around delicious. They are trying their best and the food was good.“

“Group of 12 was feed most of us first timers we had fun.“
