20 Best Italian Restaurants near Long Lake

“We love Primo! It's a small, intimate place in Long Lake with incredible Italian food. We started with calamari as an appetizer and it was among the best I've had. I think they add cheese on top of it? Really great. I enjoyed a pizza and side caesar salad for dinner and my wife also loved her spaghetti and meatballs. They make tiramisu on-site and that was also a home run.

Dale was a very friendly and attentive server. Thank you so much! We really enjoyed our visit.“

“My wife and I had a late lunch on Tuesday at the Maple Grove Olive Garden. Our waiter’s name was Shine. I talked to Derrick, the general manager regarding how well cooked the chicken was on my meal. It was cooked properly and was still very tender and juicy. The manager was very nice to talk too and explained how their cooks are trained well and use a temperature probe to always assure that the chicken is cooked to the correct temp. My wife and I had a great lunch, in fact brought food home for dinner too. Great general manager and Shine is a great waiter. Overall experience was fantastic, well done Olive Garden!“

“Angeno’s is the best! Excellent food at a nice price, and the best, friendliest service you’ll ever encounter. Kelly is the epitome of a true professional, providing exemplary service with a smile. The calzones are the bomb!!“

“Years ago was excited to see all the locations opening in the southwest metro. This morning I noticed all but one has closed. My favorite was Chaska, perfectly cooked, prompt delivery. Eden Prairie tended to undercook, where Chan always overcook. I always felt that the Chan location had them pre-prepared and cooked. Pizza's tended to be overcooked and dry.
So when Chaska closed due to franchisee issues I was left wondering where to go. Only location near me was the Chanhassen one. Was willing to go for a little bit of a ride to either the one east of Excelsior, or the one in Shakopee like I said earlier they are now closed. I had a gift card that I wanted to use so off to Chanhassen I go.
Surprise surprise surprise the pizza was delicious. Hot, fresh, perfect leopard spots on the cheese.
I'm now thinking maybe they grew too fast and the franchise and crew just don't follow the rules. I will be giving the Chan location another try as I feel this was a huge turn around for them.“

“Good food. Can’t go wrong with pizza. Service in the bar area not the fastest, but wasn’t in a huge hurry.“

“Great pizza and great service!“

“The place just fits. Nothing pretentious. Grateful for places like Maggie’s.“
