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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Holy buckets this was such a good dinner! Went with friends for a birthday dinner and the service, food, and vibes were 10/10. Our server was perfect. Wine was tasty. I only wish I could have eaten more!
Thanks for a wonderful night 🖤“

“I tried this last week. The sandwiches are fully loaded, great size, and taste good. A half is probably good for two people. I thought the meat ball was the better of the two I tried (the turkey was good though, and the Pastrami was well received). The chicken parm was also good. I like it with a lot of sauce and this place gives it with ample sauce.“

“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 food. Homemade taste. Locally sourced. Affordable. Friendly, efficient service.“

“We had a great dinner last week with our family of eight! Bethany was our server and she was fabulous!!“

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

“Incredible homemade italian and such an incredible, incredible value for the price. Best italian food I have had in a long time!“

“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!“

“Staff chattering among selves with conversations easily heard…this at the front door desk area. My wine was not palatable and left most of it. No follow up with service person as to why it was hardly drank so no opportunity to let her know. Follow up on food…mouth full of food which is Murphys law.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I came here with my mom for lunch on Friday to take advantage of their $13 soup, salad, and breadsticks offer.

We came in and it seemed really busy because the waiting room was full, but it was just a large group. They seated us promptly.

We were served by Rebekah. She was great — quick service and a great attitude. She also offered refills on our lunch items consistently.

The food was good. Not much to say here — it’s Olive Garden! But it was consistent and delicious.

Would recommend!“

“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 🤘🏿🤗“

“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.“

“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!! ❤️“

“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.“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“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.“

“This is one of the best restaurants that I have been to in SO long! The waitress, who I believe to be Carmen, was the nicest person I've met all year, and she was super energetic! (And kind) Then, thee food, oh the food!!! It's amazing! And all in all, this place is amazing!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 such a great little spot that you really wouldn't expect from just passing it by. I've gone here several times both pre covid and now and the food has always been delicious. They're good about honoring special requests and making things vegetarian as well. Definitely worth stopping for dinner - just be careful not to fill up on the seasoned oil and bread!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“We love coming here for a couple cocktails and burgers after work! I would definitely suggest coming early in the evening as there is typically a large line waiting by the time we head out between 6-7pm.
The mai tais and burgers are a favorite, and they have Wild State cider available which is great, especially since more than one mai tai can be a bit much!
Service has always been friendly and they're always playing fun music.“

“I used to live close to Fat Lorenzo's and order take out all the time. I was in the area and wanted to stop by with the family. Food was excellent like usual, we had pizza, pasta, and the OMG sandwich. Family loved it. The kicker, we mentioned we were staying in a hotel and could they add a couple to-go silverware to eat the leftovers, they brought out plates, silverware, and condiments (Parmesan cheese and red pepper flake) for us. My family was so appreciative of the awesome food and service, truly a hidden gem.“

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

“This restaurant is very inviting and comfortable and the food was delicious across the board for our group of eight. We lunched. The service was very attentive. There were too many interesting choices, that I had a difficult time deciding... Had the salmon club sandwich and it was quite delicious. My co-workers were raving about the endive salad. Reasonable prices and close to a lot of downtown.
We'll go there again for sure.“

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