14 Best Italian Restaurants near Cottage Grove

“I have never had a bad experience at Cassinis. I used to deliver for them and the owner is a great guy, really enjoyed my time there. Pizza dough is always made fresh and I feel like the sauce is really the stand out for me. I absolutely love their sauce! Family Meal deal is always my go to! I read some of the negative reviews here and I understand that everyone has bad days, customers… employees… we are all human. But I will ALWAYS recommend Cassinis. The best pizza 🍕“

“We brought my dad to Ronnally’s for his 91st birthday today, and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience! The service and food were amazing! We had lasagna, pizza, and mac and cheese, and every single dish was delicious. The owner, Diana, made us feel so welcomed throughout the entire visit, and both she and her whole staff made my dad’s birthday one of his best. 🤗 We will absolutely be going back the next time we’re in Woodbury!“

“My daughter and son in law visited Sunday, May 25th, 2025. Everything, with the exception of salad and Tour of Italy was awful. I had Create Pasta with Mushroom Sauce. Terrible watery, no flavor. Daughter had Zupa Toscan which was tasteless and watery. Her entree was Chicken Margarita flavorless with many green peppers on top. Such a disappointment for a reputed good eatery.“

“Andiamo has outstanding food and service. It's one of my family's favorite restaurants. Way better than Olive Garden. Highly reccomend!“

“5 🌟 Best red sauce in town. I wish they still had the manicotti and stuffed peppers mmmmm“

“Found this amazing restaurant on our way home after a weekend spent in Minneapolis. The variety of options on the menu is wonderful and you can definitely tell everything is homemade!! We started with the trio dip and homemade chips. Delicious salsa, guacamole and queso.. and the chips!❤️ We had homemade steak alfredo and the sliders, both were super yummy!! Loved the decor and our server Michael was so kind! We will definitely make this a stop when going through Hastings again!!“

“Friendly staff and very kind! Doubled checked time for my in store order and made sure it was ok with me, also threw in a free beverage for my son and I!! Thanks awesome people!“

“Our experience from start to finish was great! Pam S., our waitress, was attentive, not hovering. She knew what we needed before we did. Our grandchildren were with us and their food, as requested, came out first. The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. Always a great spot to get great food!“

“Brinley put her soul into an avocado piada. I came a little late to pick up my order and was expecting a cooler more soggy piada but I was left speechless tonight. The wrap, chicken, and vegetables were crisp, the sauces perfectly placed with great proportions and the warmth still resonating. She deserves a raise.“

“Always the BEST Pizza and antipasta Salad!!!“

“Thank you to Carmines for always being willing to give back to the community! From donating gift cards, running ads in sports programs for local high schools, and donating to High School Senior All Night party, they are always easy to work with and their entire staff pitches in to make it a great experience! Thanks Dave and staff!“

“The pizza is always perfect. The delivery drivers are on time and super nice.“

“The best food in the entire country! I’m honestly at a loss for words because the experience is that remarkable. There’s truly no pizza like Punch—every bite is a perfect balance of crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and rich, authentic flavor that transports you straight to Italy. From the moment you walk in, the aroma alone tells you you’re in for something special. The service is warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is lively yet cozy, and every dish showcases a level of care and craftsmanship that’s hard to find. If you’re looking for the ultimate pizza experience, Punch is second to none.“
