10 Best Italian Restaurants in Eagan

“If you're looking for authentic Italian deli fare, Brianno's is the real deal. The location wasn’t quite where I was expecting—tucked away and easy to miss if you’re not familiar with the area—but absolutely worth finding. I was genuinely impressed with the sandwiches – packed with flavor and clearly made with quality ingredients. The price point felt fair considering the portion sizes; I easily got two hearty servings out of just half a hoagie. The taste was incredible – rich, fresh, and satisfying in every bite. I can't wait to come back and try more from their menu! Highly recommend for anyone craving a true Italian deli experience.“

“Amazing food always. Owners are very lovely folks“

“Future husband took me on first date in 1968 to Carbones on Marie. Had Carbone's on our wedding day and every anniversary since. Had Carbones on each of his birthdays and when overdue on each of our pregnancies. He passed away 16 years ago but I still have Carbones on our anniversary and his birthday; he would have been 81 today. The pizza is still as grand as my memories.“

“BEST FOOD IN THE AREA!!!!“

“Party of 12 had a blast and the fettuccine was not bland at all! The sirloin steak was fabulous! The Strawberry Margarita was perfectly made. Chicken was not soggy. The minestrone soup was excellent and the salad was perfect. Pleasantly surprised with this Olive Garden visit. Servers were so attentive.“

“One of the best pizza places around! They always have great food. My sister and I went on a Friday evening, which we knew would be busy. We arrived at our designated time only to find out that they were behind on orders. The first thing I noticed was how hard your employees were working. They looked so overwhelmed and stressed out, but we’re still able to give us great customer service. I saw the order receipts flowing in by the bunches to the point they had to put them in a huge pile on the countertop. Please limit how many people can order per time slot online. Your employees are working so hard for indoor dining as it is.“

“Phenomenal 🔥 Consistently coming with that top quality product we thoroughly enjoy! Yum 🤤“

“I've been a customer of the Eagan location for more than 30 years driving all the way from far west Bloomington because the pizza was so good. I always order thin crust pizza. The sauce has always been the best around. I hadn't been there since May 2025. This time (October 2025) the sauce seemed like plain Hunts Tomato Sauce -- no seasonings whatever -- and the cheese and toppings tasted bland. Unsure of why, when i got home and researched -- discovered the business was sold May 2025. It''s not the same anymore. Don't think I'll ever go back.
EDIT: As a long time customer, I decided to go back to give them another chance. I was happily surprised my pizza was made to the original recipe. Whether the visit prompting my negative review was an unfortunate lapse, or some negative reviews sent them back to the traditional recipe, I'll now not give up on them. I've changed my 1-star review to a 4-star review.“

“I don't understand why the reviews are not higher. Sarpino's has really good pizza. Make sure you sign up for their loyalty program and watch for coupon codes and then you'll find it isn't that expensive. I like the Midnight Express pizza the best and the garlic bread is delicious. Service and delivery has been great and I have had no issues.“
