50 Best Italian Restaurants near Little Canada

“If there is better Italian food around I haven't found it.“

“Great Italian food at very reasonable places. Highly recommended. I try to make a trip there every time I'm in the area.“

“Great pizza! My mom was the first server at the Woodbury location.“

“Hyacinth is a keeper. Creative food, well prepared, small but extremely well chosen wines. Portions were large, a bit too large in my view. Hyacinth is one of the few restaurants in the post Covid dining world that is daring to show us how innovative dining can be done.“

“Great neighborhood eatery for Italian cuisine! Service is attentive but not intrusive. Reasonable wait times and prices, with plentiful food and wine options. Slightly louder than preferred, but not really an issue. Parking is the only hurdle. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a great dining experience in St.Paul!“

“Excellent food! Skillfully prepared and seasoned beautifully. Have visited twice and will go back for sure. Also, their sister restaurant, Mizu, is amazing as well.“

“Mucci’s was a fantastic romantic dinner spot. The appetizer meatballs had a unique texture that I preferred over other meatballs. The fall pasta special was incredible and paired perfectly with the tagliatelle that was the perfect blend of lemon and cream. The pasta noodles tasted homemade and were so good.

The patio was pretty and was packed by 7pm. We got a reservation for a Tuesday night and would recommend making one.“

“We had a party of 16 at short notice who needed to be accommodated and we were very well attended to. Little Oven Staff knocked it out of the park! Thank you all!“

“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.“

“Date night. Food was good. Wine was good. The waiter could be more attentive. He did not even ask us once how the food was and if we needed anything. Had to get extra sauce from the girl who brought out our food.“

“Outstanding as usual!! Fabulous!“

“After an issue finding a table because we arrived early, we had an absolutely wonderful meal. It was a Saturday night and it was a little bit noisy as it was busy, but putting that aside the food was wonderful in the service was very good. I can't wait for spring because the outdoor patio is what makes this place amazing it's a good value. Try the Bronzino.“

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

“First and foremost, I love their customer service, the way they handle the issues. I would love to give them the highest rating possible because of the friendly staff, good food and all. Most importantly, prolly the shift manager, Alexa, she did an amazing job handling a bad situation caused by uber, they failed to deliver twice so she came by herself to drop my food which was amazing and all were on the house as a courtesy. If her supervisor seeing this review, I am recommending a promotion, she deserves more. Such a kind soul and helpful manner.“

“Base price for pasta no longer includes SAUCE! I ordered pasta with three veggies, chicken and Alfredo. I paid $10.99 for the pasta (a price increase) PLUS $2.99 for the SAUCE! Total over $15.00. Deceptive pricing practice. I normally order the spicy rosa (now $1.99) with sausage, which is delicious and recommend. This time I opted for the alfredo. It tastes suspiciously like jarred alfredo. Not worth the price.“

“Absolutely incredible food made with love, by very dedicated passionate people!!! We love The Cave!“

“Great place for families with kids or a date night for young couples.

Food is decent and the staff are usually solid. Like with anything “chain” related anything could be hit-or-miss.

It’s Olive Garden. It’s affordable Italian. It’s what you’re going to get.“

“pizza was ok, very reminiscent of 5dollar pizza. not saying it wasn't good or bad, Jjust ok. will try their thin crust next and see how that goes.“

“Our server was great and the food was delicious! We have never had a bad meal here! However it was very cold inside! They said the section they sat us in had been having trouble with the temperature. So why then if you are aware of it why seat your guests there?!“

“Very good food, try the steak and cheese panino!“

“My son and I enjoy the atmosphere and the people there. The food is delicious!!“

“I have probably ate here 50 times over the past ten years and it’s the best pizza and salads period. It always tastes fresh and consistent. The reason I keep coming back is because the price has stayed (around) the same for the past 7+ years!
There is literally no where else you can get a whole fresh pizza and a small salad for around $16. I really appreciate that they keep it semi affordable. These days McDonald’s costs that much!
The food is much better than pizza Luce or toppers, any of the surrounding area competitors, which are just ok to me.

This tastes like you took a mini vacation to Italy EVERY TIME ! Pizza usually comes out within 5-8 minutes as long as it’s not insanely busy.“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“The House Special with geen olives“

“Amazing food from an amazing restaurant, owned by an amazing family!!“

“The food is delicious and the staff is super nice and funny. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.“

“Great place to eat brings me right back to Italy!!! Was a great lunch and great service.“

“super amazing staff love it here“

“I’m working on a project here from Tennessee when a coworker took me to Buon Giorno for lunch. As soon as you walk in, the fresh bread aroma is amazing. On my second visit to the Pasta Bar, Kyle the Chef actually remembered what I got the week before. The made to order pasta is awesome and make sure to get the fresh bread that goes with it.“

“Best pizza ever, hands down. Service is always good here and good location and good parking, nice patio.“

“Classic quality neighborhood restaurant with lots of family friendly menu options. I believe this is the original location of the beloved local franchise. I used to come here with my mother as a child and we'd get hoagies and then she'd let me rent a Nintendo (original 8 bit) game from an adjacent video rental store.“

“The new Red's Savoy Roseville location in the Lund's/Byerly's strip mall is out of this world. As good, if not better the original Savoy on 7th st. Excellent customer service, and a beautiful clean new location.“

“Did not eat at bar but had drinks and the Tony and Jay were our bartenders and were fantastic, very friendly and attentive to our needs. It was my son’s birthday and he enjoyed the great service. There were a lot of customers and it’s nice they just flow don’t make it look like they are over whelmed and serve everyone in timely manner.“

“Consistently good service and food. excellent hot wings, lasagna, sandwiches and of course any kind of pizza you can imagine. This is the 3rd or 4th location I've tried(Eagan and Minneapolis). I definitely recommend Pizza Luce anytime. Brunch and trivia, available on select days as well.“

“Ordered pizza for my sons 3rd birthday. Arrived early and they were very nice, everything we needed was given to me. Pizza was great. Ordered a Caesar salad and it came with olive and tomatoes. I’m not complaining because I like both but just curious if this is the norm. Never have been given a Caesar salad with tomatoes and black olives. Over all would def order from them again. Staff was wonderful. Food was equally wonderful.“

“HUGE thank you from St Johns ED for the pizza lunch today! You filled our hearts AND our bellies as we navigate this uncertain time in the middle of this pandemic. We are continuing to witness kindness from our wonderful community and you are a beaming example of what it means to support each other! Thank you!“

“If you are looking for a great pizza spot, you’ve found it. The wings are great too!“
