Nonna Rosa's Ristorante Italiano

I was here a couple days ago and I’ve been sick ever since I’ve had the worst food poisoning I’ve ever had

The food was absolutely amazing!!! And our server was excellent! So attentive and a must go to when in Minneapolis!

We have been here in the past with great luck. This time we had mixed luck. I really enjoyed the in house made gnocchi, Gnocchi Mare Monte. I would order it again. The stuffed mushrooms minus the bread were good. The Salmon we had to send back and should have sent the asparagus and the toast of the stuffed mushrooms. Whoever was running the grill was very heavy handed and burned those. My husband had the spicy Shrimp it was also good with just the right amount of heat. The bartender/waiter Andrew was the only staff working when we were there early on a Saturday evening. He did a great job. He makes a great Italian margarita.

Went on a Saturday night about 6pm. They were short staffed and stressed out. Our server was great, he was the calm in the storm. One of the other servers, a young blond guy thought it appropriate to say loudly that he needed to go to the bathroom…not once, but twice. There was no method to their madness. We sat by the kitchen and time and time again, a server would come to pick up an order to find out another server stole it for another table. Pretty sure the table next to us waited half an hour for garlic bread.

As for the food…the lasagna was ok. But the general consensus at our table was the food lacked flavor. Not worth the money we paid.

I wanted this to be better. The vibe is tense, the food is subpar, and the prices are too high.

Have been coming here for years! Generous portions, friendly staff, and good food. Gelato and arancini (vegetarian!) are my favorites. Menu in the restaurant is a little different from what is online right now (e.g., vegetarian dishes were marked online but not on the physical menu). House made gnocchi was great last night: perfect pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Oh and when it's nice out, the patio can't be beat.

Vegetarian options: Staff are knowledgeable about dish ingredients and cooks are able to modify many dishes to leave out the meat as well.

Looked forward to great Italian food, sorry that this wasn't it. My The Tortellini Pugliesi had Italian sausage in it but very little, the cheese tortellini was most certainly frozen, dumped out of bag, not stirred while boiling, stuck together. Flavor was there but poorly executed. My friend's shrimp on linguini was tasty but the noodles again were thrown into a pot of water and then not stirred, numerous clumps of noodles just bonded together was the result (later spotted the waitress snarfing down these clumps in private). The Tiramisu looked like a scoop of pudding rather than a cake, lady fingers were saturated, tasted old, Many menu items from the website just weren't available anymore, many items on the revised in-house menu weren't available. Sounds like new owner could use a visit from Gordon Ramsey. The place was too empty for a Friday evening, in a busy downtown strip of popular night spots. Sorry for the length and negative but honest review. Really hoped for a great evening with my son.

We were a party of 6 adults. No one had a good meal. Two of us ordered gnochi and it was severely undercooked to the point of being inedible. Shrimp scampi had raw onions in it. Our appetizers were good and that's all I can say.

Pasta sauces are excellent and bread given before meals (with seasoned butter) is delicious!

Food was good and martini was delicious. Bonus, you get to support a small business.

We were hoping for authentic aranchini but this was nothing to talk about. Pretty dry, even with the sauce.

Food was good service was slow. We was seated at 8pm and didn’t receive our food until 845. In the middle of our dinner. We saw a mouse run across the floor not once but twice. We tell the server and she says it’s common to see them. And the second server was rude.

Just a terrific restaurant ?. I wish I lived closer. I still find a reason to get there 3 or 4 times a year.

The atmosphere walking in was warm and welcoming but the food was not what was expected. The salad came out old and starting to brown which I could look past but the chicken on the chicken bruschetta came out raw…
