I was nervous, like everyone, when the ownership changed in 2023 but the good news is the food and service is exactly the same still!“

“They squeezed us in despite having a full house. We’ve been twice and both times were incredible. I don’t know what is better- the service or the food. Even the burger is one of the best in the cities. Sit at the chef’s table if you can and make sure you get a dessert.“

The food is beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed but elegant, I've never had anything but an incredible time here.Vegetarian options: There are multiple vegeterian options throughout the menu.Dietary restrictions: Hyacinth is an alergy aware resturant and is willing to midify dishes to accomodate all dietary restrictions.Parking: There is no parking lot, and Hyacinth is located on a busy stretch of grand ave where street parking is hard to come by. Plan to walk at least a block.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no automatic doors, and there is no accessible parking on the block. Tight seating makes it difficult for wheelchair users to navigate through the resturant.“

“I recently ordered a pizza to-go from Mama’s Pizza and it was absolutely amazing! The pizza itself was perfectly cooked, with just the right balance of flavors. On top of that, I had a wonderful conversation with Tony, who made the experience even more delightful with his warm and engaging personality. It’s clear that Mama’s Pizza not only excels in their culinary craft but also in their customer service. Highly recommend to anyone craving a top-notch pizza experience!“

“A great place with multiple restaurants on site to suit whatever you’re desiring. Ended up eating here multiple times during my trip. The upstairs restaurant was outstanding & the service we received from both of our servers (shoutout to Abbey & Brittany!). The pastry shop downstairs is well worth a stop (the Key Lime coolers were a personal favorite).“

“It has been many years since a restaurant has provided excellent service, flavorful food and reasonable prices. I drive from South Minneapolis to Woodbury for Family Dinners and to-go orders, it is more than worth the trip. Andiamo is my new favorite.“

“The building and decor are beautiful. The cashier was very nice. I would recommend the tomato soup and focaccia. My sandwich was ok cold sandwiches are not my favorite. I also got a delicious tiramisu I think they should come out with some warm ones. A little pricey but overall a good experience.Vegetarian options: They have a couple of vegetarian options but not very many vegan ones.“

“It is very pricey. That's the first point I need to make. The place is a bit small and hot (temperature wise), second important point. The service was great very attentive. Now the food, damn, the food was very vey good! I think, as of now for me, as I've been to many Italian restaurants in MN, this one might be the best Italian restaurant so far. I will most definitely be coming back. Their desserts were also really good.“

“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.“

“Yarussos has been a staple in our family for generations. My dad absolutely loved eating here or getting takeout sauce and meatballs. So, when he passed away in November, we knew we had to have his memorial service catered by Yarussos. Jerry and staff are amazing. Thank you for always being there for us!“

“I loved the food here. It was really good. I had a shrimp pasta dish (Shrimp Garganelli) from here and it was really yummy. We also had the cheese curds and they were delicious. The beets were good too. Had a cherry flavored drink and that wasn't my favorite but their sparkling water was amazing.“

“Cannot say enough good things about our experience at Zambonis on 7th!! Stopped in Friday and camped out and ate and loved the entire experience! We attempted to give wild bills our business Saturday night, and after awful service we left and returned to zambonis! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are everything you would want from a local bar/restaurant! Ps...ask for Gus! He is hilarious!“

“Our waitress very clearly did not want to be there and another kept running over to make up for her poor/complete lack of service. I felt bad for her. I wish I could have given the tip to the other one who visited our table way more, brought our food and to go boxes, and looked generally uncomfortable to be working alongside our waitress. Hopefully whatever was on our waitresses mind and distracting her was resolved positively.“

“Went to Olive garden for lunch. I had spaghetti, salad and bread it was very good. Our waitress was excellent very professional told us what the lunch specials were. And made sure we always had fresh breadsticks and salad. Would definitely recommend Olive garden in Woodbury off radio drive.“

“Outstanding in so many ways. The atmosphere transports u to another place. Seating options are all great including at the fancy bar, in the bar at a high top, fancy dining room and my fav: patio on a warm day. Food amazing, drinks amazing, staff amazing. Easy parking. Italian food store attached. Great for special occasions, happy hour, any time really.“

“We have tried the Grand Ave, Northeast MPLS, Roseville, and Eden prairie locations, and all are fantastic. They are consistent, fairly priced, and delicious. I chose to review the Grand Ave location because of the area - we stopped by Grand Ole Creamery afterwards, and had a great time there as well. Plenty of other places to visit on that streetEach location features plentiful parking, even the high-traffic locations of NE and Grand Ave. They are efficient with the ordering/cooking, and we choose to go here over Black Sheep & Pizza Luce every single timeI enjoy both styles they offer, but usually build my own. The focaccia is good too, but we normally just get pizzas. They freshly shave their parmesan cheese and offer bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to take to your table, which we love“

“Absolutely loved this spot, serves amazing Italian cuisine and also caters for gluten restriction and other food allergies. The atmosphere is a very authentic, comfortable vibe with dates, families with small kids, friends, etc. and beautiful, live piano music in the background. Our waitress was so thoughtful and we met the owner Kim who was present and very hands on with operating the business, and introduced herself to our table - cannot say that about any other restaurant in the 5 years we’ve lived here. This is a must-go in Woodbury, … we’re surprised that it took us this long to find it and we will be repeat customers!“

“Literally the best food I've had in a while.Super authentic, cozy and has a familiar almost home-like atmosphere.The waitress was one of the nicest ladies I have ever met, I truly felt welcomed.ALSO! Those were the BEST! breadsticks EVER.“

“This is a great classic style Italian restaurant. The kind of place that brings out bread ? before the meal in this keto friendly world. We really enjoyed our experience. I had the Eggplant ? Parmesan, and the wife had spaghetti ? and meatballs. She ended up with leftovers as the portions are generous. I did not. Highly recommend if you enjoy Italian food.“

“My wife and I had made a trip into South St Paul to our accountant's office and were looking for Italian food. I was craving a dago sandwich and Angelo's Italian Restaurant did not disappoint! This family run restaurant had a delicious dago sandwich with homemade sauce and a large piece of Italian sausage, we got it to go and it was more than enough for two of us for lunch. Thanks Josh and family for a great dining experience, we will be back to try some more dishes from your menu!“

“I read reviews of Louis Restaurante & Bar raving about their fun patio, and yet we stopped by in March. Not to worry, it was still excellent!! It has an almost speakeasy vibe with dark wood and a fantastic bar. We grabbed a quick house cocktail (perfect), house caesar (highly recommend), and house-made pasta (Rigatoni and Pappardelle). The food was excellent and the service was delightful. Our servers were bubbly and well-informed when it came to their menu. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of all aspects of this restaurant. We will definitely be back!“

“First time in and this place is very nice. I tried the chicken parm (which I would recommend) the lasagna (which was okay, very cheesy), the crostini (very crunchy), and the chicken salad (which is good). Overall the quality of the food is good but not quite worth the price (similar to a Kowalski’s) in my opinion. Would recommend checking out though.“

“I love this Carbone’s Pizza location! I tell everyone about it. Seriously top notice!My family actually lives in another town and we have another location here and rather drive out to the Saint Paul Park location. You guys know what you’re doing for sure!“

“I waited in the restaurant to place a to go order, after 20 mins I left . Not even a greeting from anyone , they did almost run me over several times. We where at the Burnsville before and there was a bunch of hair in my pasta, after telling waitress she took back and came right back out with it so they just took the hair out and give same dish back to me. Prices are reasonable but they have ZERO customer service and you feel like you are an inconvenience to them for bringing in your business“

“Outstanding Pizza Goodness!!!Awesome pizza! Exactly what I was hoping for!!! Superb blend of tangy legit home-made pizza sauce, great crispy chewy hand tossed crust, perfectly done & generous fresh quality topping galore! (not too much, just right). I got the spicy Italian, (highly recommended!), I had them put the Buffalo sauce on the side. They included the garlic sauce, but didn't need it but I dipped my crust for some extra savory goodness! Yummo!!! I stopped in and ordered at the counter, very quick 15mins done! W tons of other pies going out the door. 10+++“

“Hands down the best pizza in the Metro area. Crust is perfect, sauce is wonderful. And it's consistently the same delicious pie, time after time. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is great after their remodel. And the prices are beyond reasonable.This is the way pizza used to be, before there was a shop in every strip mall in the world.A+++“

“It has been many years since a restaurant has provided excellent service, flavorful food and reasonable prices. I drive from South Minneapolis to Woodbury for Family Dinners and to-go orders, it is more than worth the trip. Andiamo is my new favorite.“

“This is a very nice Olive Garden. Its a beautiful building and has attractive decor. My wife and I stopped in for the all you can eat soup, salad bar, and breadsticks. The soups were extremely flavorful, the signature Olive Garden salad has always been a favorite, and the breadsticks were fresh and hot. We couldn't have eaten for much less at a fast food place. I highly recommend giving them a visit.“

“The food here was delicious across the board, down to the bread basket they brought to the table. The atmosphere was very nice and cozy, had a retro sophisticated look to it, along with great golden era music. If I am being completely honest, the service could have been better. Our waitress forgot my husband's beer and we had to really flag her down to get a 2nd glass of wine ordered after that. She was a little pushy on ordering, although we were barely into our 1 1/2 hours of reservation time allowed per table. The wine was quite pricey and a less than modest pour. My total take away is, we will definitely come back for the wonderful food and atmosphere, but avoid the alcohol to keep the bill down a bit and hopefully get a different waitress. We will go back though for the wonderful food. I encourage anyone to give this place a try, you will leave full and happy.“

“Reds on White Bear is GREAT! Thin crust, tons of toppings and cheese- lots of cheese and cut in squares, the correct way to eat this type of pizza. Kidding aside, Savoys is an excellent choice for delivery or take out pizza! Not sure if there are tables inside....but single slices are available lunch hours. Wait times at prime times can be around an hour but plan ahead and call early and no problem. In-house delivery is an advantage because their employees are delivering, so your customer service is impeccable! Our favorite is the Savoy house special. The leftovers, if you are lucky to have any, are great in the air fryer! Treat yourself with Savoys! No pics because we ate it all“

“I can't say enough about this Pizza Man! Their pizza is #1 in Eagan. And they really know how to take care of their customers. Thank you Chad for all you have done!! We have been customers since you opened and we are not changing. You guy are AWESOME!!“
