“My husband and I chose to celebrate our one year anniversary here today. It was both of our first times dining at Broders’ and we enjoyed everything about this wonderful experience! Upon arriving we were attempting to take a selfie photo outside and one of the employees opened the front door and asked us if we would like him to take our photo. Tyson so kindly took several photo angles and opened up the door for us as we walked in. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s warm and inviting home. Our sweet waitress helped me select the most delectable glass of wine I have ever tasted. Words cannot explain how delicious the pasta was… we lapped up every single drop and were in absolute food heaven. To top it all off… we were treated to a free dessert of our choosing along with two chocolate cocoa truffles on the house!! After we finished our meal we went across the street to their storefront to purchase some pasta and sauce to enjoy at some point in the coming weeks. We will definitely be back for all special occasions and certainly for our two year anniversary. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience and meal this is the place!! Enjoy!“

“Phenomenal dining experience!!\nDifficult to choose from so many choices!! Quality is amazing, portions are generous, and scrumptious!!\nWe enjoyed the octopus, bruschetta with ricotta and tomatoes, mushroom confit, branzino and pasta with tuna. \nOur served, Sidney, was professional, kind, and very careful with our food allergies. She’s an incredible asset to your restaurant!!\nWho would have thought you could get such an incredible Italian meal in Minneapolis? This place is a must!!“

“My kids just treated me to a birthday dinner at Italian Eatery! It was a fantastic experience all the way around - food, service, and atmosphere. The entrees were delicious (we ordered a variety and shared!), and my dessert - the crostata al limone (a lemon tart) was out of this world! This was my first time at Italian Eatery. I’ll be back!“

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“Everything we had was great! Normally we enjoy steak but this was a great change that he and I both enjoyed! Friendly staff also at the bar!“

“Invite your family and friends and they won’t be disappointed.“

“The meals are consistently fantastic. I’ve never had a bad meal at this restaurant over the last few years. The ingredients are high quality, fresh, and well prepared. The dishes come out delicious every time. It makes dining incredibly easy when I know I can choose anything on the menu and it will be great. The service is also incredible. Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly staff. The dining and bar areas are equally beautiful in distinctive ways. Very pleasing to the eye. Zelo is a must try downtown, and if you do, it will become one of your go to restaurants for a nice night out.“

“Truly impeccable service and such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel so comfortable. The menu provides such vibrant dishes that carry you through a story that gives each bite with such flavor. I’ll definitely be back, I was happy to be introduced to this establishment by Jaelin, it is places like this that you absolutely need to try.“

“Food, atmosphere, and drinks were all fantastic. The Owner/Chef Joel has created something special at this gem nestled in a Minneapolis neighborhood. We had a large party for a friends pre-wedding dinner and the staff handled it great. From the apps to the desert, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick off the menu. We were all tasting each others food by the end of the night wanting to try EVERYTHING! Some have stated a smaller menu and prices, but then say the food blew them away…I for one like to pay to keep amazing food and ingredients an option. Can’t wait to bring my wife and other family members in the Twin Cities to do it again.“

“I was a guest from Michigan visiting the area for the first time. My chicken picata was one of the best I have ever had. My dinner perfect right down to the tiramisu! A charming atmosphere with excellent service. I highly recommend to anyone both in and out of state!!!!“

“The food was delicious! We were on our way to the airport so we stopped for a quick meal. There is no in store dining, but there are plenty of picnic tables outside.
We ordered a cheese pizza, chicken Caesar salad, Chicago beef sandwich with hot giardinara, cannoli, and tiramisu. It was all amazing! The kids also enjoyed the vanilla pizzelle that was sold in store.

Now we just have to plan out how to stop on our way back through!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Hendrix & Siena last night . The beautifully lit dining room made you feel at home the second you sat down. I could see from my table the kitchen crew busily preparing the food with love and it was ever so apparent by the constant smiles on their faces that they loved what they were doing. Now for the food... we started with the lemony beans which was so refreshing and well seasoned. I ordered the lasagne duefoglie and it was amazing......you must try it! Others at the table ordered the asparagus caesar salad that had perfectly marinated sea beans and asparagus and the Sorpresine with a carmelized cream sauce to die for. I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan to be back!“

“They support their community. Real American values.“

“Great dinner tonight. Salad and the short rib, deliciously flavored and tender. Great red wine. Followed by tiramisu. They never disappoint.“

“I have only eaten one thing repeatedly and it is excellent, their burger. I can’t speak to anything else on the menu. Service is fine, but sometimes laid back to the point of indifference. Atmosphere might be a little too trendy and hip for some people, but the space is attractive and well situated especially when going to see a show at Latte Da.“

“Good food, great time😊😊“

“Great food!! The crab cake was Amazing… don’t forget to get an Amazing margarita 🍹“

“Serves was unbelievably fantastic the server Troy was amazing!!!. He accommodated us perfectly and made our night brighter. I will be coming back as soon as possible!! The food was outstanding and we had too many left overs. We were able to have so much food for our group of five. If you want a special night out this is the place to go!!“

“Outstanding as usual!! Fabulous!“

“I needed to feed our family quickly as our weekend plans changed. My wife and my children aged 5 and 3 showed up on a Sunday afternoon and we were greeted by an incredibly friendly team and our server was attentive. I understand this an Olive Garden chain that everyone is familiar with. But if you just need a quick, quality meal with the family, you must revisit. Made me realize that affordable and enjoyable dining still exists.“

“Same good service. I had the same delicious burger, but THIS time there was a $4 up charge for a small salad—subbed for chips. (I must have lucked out 3 days earlier.) The check came and it included a large bottle of plain water (not ordered) that was apparently placed on my arrival; then a lady (not my server) filled 2 glasses with the water. (I dined alone.) A manager took the $12 off my bill.“

“BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had!! 🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗“

“Had a very special celebrations here recently and it was amazing. Staff was awesome, food was delicious and ambiance was top notch. Every person in our party commented on what a great find this place was and how they couldn’t wait to come back. Thank you to the Luci Ancora team for making our celebration so wonderful.“

“Had a very crispy and super delicious slice today, like outstanding pizza. 🍕“

“A really nice place to eat. The lasagna was excellent. I'll be back.“

“Yes, I know Olive Garden is more a comfort food fix ....but. ... its consistent and affordable! However what made tonight great was our server Quincy. He didn't just serve us, he was like a new friend with good recommendations and tips on visiting the south!! Make sure and ask for him if u stop at this location!“

“Went there for the bogo lunch deal. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was great. Huge pieces of chicken. My boyfriend’s spaghetti with meatballs looked great. First time at this location we will be back!“

“Stopped for dinner before a show at the Orpheum. The bartender made the drinks to perfection and recommended some great food choices for us. Will definitely be back to try some more off the menu. Friendly service!“

“This is literally one of the best places I have ever eaten, that I have to write a review more than one place 😂 Absolutely everything is amazing, and I always get it when I have guests in town, to blow their mind 🤯 I am amazed at their quality, especially with delivery. You guys are beyond impressive!! ❤️“

“wife and I drove 6 hours to eat here. we have made the trip multiple times over the years. came in Wednesday early afternoon and got great service. I wish I could remember her name, I would give her 5 stars. love coal fired pizza.“

“This is a great casual place to grab a drink…..or have some really great food.…or take a gab with your friends (or strangers)… they do have a beautiful community table!“

“Great pizza napoletana and a lovely staff. We have been patrons for over 20 years. Our family is from Campania and having Punch is a wonderful reminder of home. Grazie mille!!!“

“The chicken Alfredo was amazing! It's honestly hard to find good food and you guys deserve your recognition and flowers 💐👏🏿 Shout out to head culinary chef at MOA in Bloomington 🤘🏿🤗“

“we had Sandy's grill and Italian ice food truck at our corporate event. they served about 135 meals within 2 hours. amazing service food was beyond excellent. I would recommend them to cater any event. we're hoping to have them back next year. Thank you Sandy's for all the great work you did for us.“

“The BEST pizza!! Always delivered fresh and hot from the oven!!“

“Dang. I'm gonna have to come back, like, immediately. Their french onion dip, wet martini, lemon drop cocktail, and egg sandwich (yes, you're reading that correctly) were all so freaking good! They get pretty crowded on a weekday after 6:30, so maybe plan to get there a little early.“

“Absolutely delicious. Our server was super great(I wish I could remember his name). My wife said it was one of the best pastas ever. Alfredo was super delicious and creamy. I had the shrimp my wife had the chicken and they were both well seasoned.“

“I've been coming to Jakeeno's pretty much my whole life. They have the best staff and incredible pizza. I personally love the chicken parm sandwich. Salads are really good too. You really can't go wrong here. We get their frozen pizzas too! Truly cannot love this place enough.“

“My family and I had a really nice experience here on Father's Day! The food was delicious, the waitress was so sweet, and they took great pains to make sure there wasn't any gluten near me :)
I would definitely recommend dining here!“

“First time!! Discovered in the skyway downtown Minneapolis. IT IS SO GOOD!!! 😋“

“We had great lunch and a wonderful server, Amy!!!! We sat in a booth by a window overlooking the parking lot, with Crane Lake in the distance. We definitely will be back.“

“I had a fantastic time enjoying my pizza while staying at a nearby hotel—it was a delightful treat for a Friday night! The flavor was amazing, and I loved that I could order a vegan option since it's been a while since I visited Pizza Luce. The staff was incredibly friendly when I came in to pick up my order.“

“Bring back the elote pizza! Hands down my favorite. 😎“
