“Incredible experience. My boyfriend and I came in fairly late after a concert on a Saturday night, and we were greeted politely by staff and seated immediately. Jake was our server and he was awesome. Despite having a long and busy night, he was very friendly, on top of things, and gave us some good laughs. He went above and beyond! The food came out quick and was fresh and hot. We are very pleased with our experience. Great food and even better service.“

“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!“

“Invite your family and friends and they won’t be disappointed.“

“A Divine Dining Delight!”
From the moment you walk into Gia, the decor is cozy, creating an atmosphere that’s distinctive .Every dish is delectable, delicately prepared, and deeply satisfying—a true celebration of flavor and finesse. The service is dedicated, detail-oriented, and delightfully warm, adding to the overall distinguished experience.
We were especially delighted that Jo stopped by to drop in and dialogue with us—such a dynamic, down-to-earth touch that made the evening even more distinctive.
A definite must-go and deserving of the highest praise. Dining here is nothing short of divine.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Went last night for Restaurant Week and had the date night special. Two salads, two entrees, unlimited wine/beer/soft drinks for $50. Fantastic meal, great service, only reason I do not give a perfect score is the protestors outside were annoying, but that isn't D'Amico's fault, so changing my review to all 5 stars! Thank you.“

“I had a fantastic time enjoying my pizza while staying at a nearby hotel—it was a delightful treat for a Friday night! The flavor was amazing, and I loved that I could order a vegan option since it's been a while since I visited Pizza Luce. The staff was incredibly friendly when I came in to pick up my order.“

“Great pizza and service!!“

“Best pizza in Chanhassen!“

“I have to laugh that I have come from thinking I was totally meh on Punch to being a true lover of Punch. For so many years as Punch grew up, I was so fortunate to be living in all the right places that had so frequent access to Punch that it became normal... until we moved out of state. That was a shock. Then we moved back. I no longer look that gift horse in the mouth!!“

“We ordered a large pepperoni with black and green olives last night. Gotta say, it was one of the best pizzas we've had in a very long time! The pizza was delivered quickly for a Friday night and still piping hot! Thanks for the great service and great pizza!! We'll be ordering from you again!“

“Best deep dish pizza in the area. Lots of cheese and toppings.“

“Took a chance on a small mall coffee shop-what a surprise. Best coffee I’ve had around the Twin cities. Whatever coffee they’re using, it’s fantastic. Wish they had as many locations as the other chain stores (or at least one out in Eagan 😆)“

“Had a great time. Food was excellent. Very family friendly.“

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

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

“awesome deep dish pizza thank you“

“Best pizza in the Twin Cities and wonderful service as well. Their original crust is thick and very buttery, yet crispy on the outside and fluffy but chewy inside. The other ingredients are high quality too. They now have brownies which are baked fresh with any order, the size of a small pizza, under 10 dollars. Not much not to love.“
