50 Best Italian Restaurants near New Hope

“I was hanging out at a friend’s house one day when he ordered some pizzas and boneless chicken wings delivered from Jet’s Pizza. Both exceeded my expectations and were quite good. I hadn’t heard of the place beforehand but would be willing to go back or get it delivered again. Overall, Jet’s Pizza serves solid pies and wings and delivers them quickly.“

“My kids just treated me to a birthday dinner at Italian Eatery! It was a fantastic experience all the way around - food, service, and atmosphere. The entrees were delicious (we ordered a variety and shared!), and my dessert - the crostata al limone (a lemon tart) was out of this world! This was my first time at Italian Eatery. I’ll be back!“

“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!“

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“Everything we had was great! Normally we enjoy steak but this was a great change that he and I both enjoyed! Friendly staff also at the bar!“

“Delicious entrees and desserts! The service was wonderful as well!“

“The meals are consistently fantastic. I’ve never had a bad meal at this restaurant over the last few years. The ingredients are high quality, fresh, and well prepared. The dishes come out delicious every time. It makes dining incredibly easy when I know I can choose anything on the menu and it will be great. The service is also incredible. Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly staff. The dining and bar areas are equally beautiful in distinctive ways. Very pleasing to the eye. Zelo is a must try downtown, and if you do, it will become one of your go to restaurants for a nice night out.“

“Truly impeccable service and such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel so comfortable. The menu provides such vibrant dishes that carry you through a story that gives each bite with such flavor. I’ll definitely be back, I was happy to be introduced to this establishment by Jaelin, it is places like this that you absolutely need to try.“

“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.“

“I was a guest from Michigan visiting the area for the first time. My chicken picata was one of the best I have ever had. My dinner perfect right down to the tiramisu! A charming atmosphere with excellent service. I highly recommend to anyone both in and out of state!!!!“

“They support their community. Real American values.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Hendrix & Siena last night . The beautifully lit dining room made you feel at home the second you sat down. I could see from my table the kitchen crew busily preparing the food with love and it was ever so apparent by the constant smiles on their faces that they loved what they were doing. Now for the food... we started with the lemony beans which was so refreshing and well seasoned. I ordered the lasagne duefoglie and it was amazing......you must try it! Others at the table ordered the asparagus caesar salad that had perfectly marinated sea beans and asparagus and the Sorpresine with a carmelized cream sauce to die for. I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan to be back!“

“Went there last night with my husband and a great friend, to celebrate my birthday! Our server Jenny was great. Food was great then and the left overs heated up nicely! We will be back !“

“Great food. Homemade taste. Locally sourced. Affordable. Friendly, efficient service.“

“Great dinner tonight. Salad and the short rib, deliciously flavored and tender. Great red wine. Followed by tiramisu. They never disappoint.“

“Incredible homemade italian and such an incredible, incredible value for the price. Best italian food I have had in a long time!“

“This is absolutely my favorite place for date nights with my husband or dinner with my girlfriends.
The service has always been great and the food is delicious.
For the appetizer, I’ve liked the burrata, brussel sprouts and caesar salad.
My go to pasta has been the Rigatoni Diavolo, very flavorful with just the right amount of spice.
For desserts we always get their gelato, it’s one of the best I’ve had. Favorite flavors have been pistachio, salted caramel and chocolate.“

“Great food!! The crab cake was Amazing… don’t forget to get an Amazing margarita 🍹“

“Serves was unbelievably fantastic the server Troy was amazing!!!. He accommodated us perfectly and made our night brighter. I will be coming back as soon as possible!! The food was outstanding and we had too many left overs. We were able to have so much food for our group of five. If you want a special night out this is the place to go!!“

“I needed to feed our family quickly as our weekend plans changed. My wife and my children aged 5 and 3 showed up on a Sunday afternoon and we were greeted by an incredibly friendly team and our server was attentive. I understand this an Olive Garden chain that everyone is familiar with. But if you just need a quick, quality meal with the family, you must revisit. Made me realize that affordable and enjoyable dining still exists.“

“Same good service. I had the same delicious burger, but THIS time there was a $4 up charge for a small salad—subbed for chips. (I must have lucked out 3 days earlier.) The check came and it included a large bottle of plain water (not ordered) that was apparently placed on my arrival; then a lady (not my server) filled 2 glasses with the water. (I dined alone.) A manager took the $12 off my bill.“

“BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had!! 🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗“

“Best cheese bread on the planet and make sure to order double crust pizza you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“This was my second visit to Buca in Maple Grove. It was amazing. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Special Thank You to Cheyenne, he was amazing his drinks were fabulous, ask him for some of his specials, he did an amazing alcohol free apple drink, that had all 8 of us at the table very happy. He also took time to take us on a tour of the entire facility. This is a beautiful place, it has so much character. We will be back again.“

“I have only eaten one thing repeatedly and it is excellent, their burger. I can’t speak to anything else on the menu. Service is fine, but sometimes laid back to the point of indifference. Atmosphere might be a little too trendy and hip for some people, but the space is attractive and well situated especially when going to see a show at Latte Da.“

“This is literally one of the best places I have ever eaten, that I have to write a review more than one place 😂 Absolutely everything is amazing, and I always get it when I have guests in town, to blow their mind 🤯 I am amazed at their quality, especially with delivery. You guys are beyond impressive!! ❤️“

“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!“

“Great service provided today by server Deja. She was very attentive yet left us alone to visit. When she found out we were celebrating a birthday, she was very sweet and offered a free desert and her crewmembers to sing. We declined the singing but the dessert was fabulous. We actually tried both the Chocolate Lasagne and the Black Tie Mousse cake and both were great. Also a manager did come by to say hello and see how everything was. I hadn't been to this location for probably 10 years so we were very happy with this experience. Thank you for making our birthday celebration so very special!“

“we had Sandy's grill and Italian ice food truck at our corporate event. they served about 135 meals within 2 hours. amazing service food was beyond excellent. I would recommend them to cater any event. we're hoping to have them back next year. Thank you Sandy's for all the great work you did for us.“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“I've been coming to Jakeeno's pretty much my whole life. They have the best staff and incredible pizza. I personally love the chicken parm sandwich. Salads are really good too. You really can't go wrong here. We get their frozen pizzas too! Truly cannot love this place enough.“

“Excellent food, excellent service!“

“We had great lunch and a wonderful server, Amy!!!! We sat in a booth by a window overlooking the parking lot, with Crane Lake in the distance. We definitely will be back.“

“wife and I drove 6 hours to eat here. we have made the trip multiple times over the years. came in Wednesday early afternoon and got great service. I wish I could remember her name, I would give her 5 stars. love coal fired pizza.“

“Stopped for dinner before a show at the Orpheum. The bartender made the drinks to perfection and recommended some great food choices for us. Will definitely be back to try some more off the menu. Friendly service!“

“This is a great casual place to grab a drink…..or have some really great food.…or take a gab with your friends (or strangers)… they do have a beautiful community table!“

“Great pizza napoletana and a lovely staff. We have been patrons for over 20 years. Our family is from Campania and having Punch is a wonderful reminder of home. Grazie mille!!!“

“Dang. I'm gonna have to come back, like, immediately. Their french onion dip, wet martini, lemon drop cocktail, and egg sandwich (yes, you're reading that correctly) were all so freaking good! They get pretty crowded on a weekday after 6:30, so maybe plan to get there a little early.“

“Absolutely delicious. Our server was super great(I wish I could remember his name). My wife said it was one of the best pastas ever. Alfredo was super delicious and creamy. I had the shrimp my wife had the chicken and they were both well seasoned.“

“The staff was amazing!! We were stranded on the interstate and ended up here they let us keep our suitcases in a corner. The pizza was fast and delicious!!“

“First time!! Discovered in the skyway downtown Minneapolis. IT IS SO GOOD!!! 😋“

“We were here for the Amalfi pop-up. The kids liked the spaghetti cacio e pepe & the gelato. The fig & arugula salad was good. The spaghetti was tossed in a cheese wheel in front of us & the gelato cart was brought to the table with all the options. This was the highlight of the experience, but I thought it could have been made more exciting. The five star rating is for the pistachio cake, it had the perfect texture combination, the right level of sweetness & so many different elements being beautifully orchestrated.“

“Best pizza place in town, and owned by a genuinely nice dude!“

“Bring back the elote pizza! Hands down my favorite. 😎“

“Great food and reasonable prices! You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. The place is not very big. I usually order the Mosticolli, and my friend gets the Pizza Burger. Both ore delicious! I always have leftovers which is great! I highly recommend this place! I come from Maple Grove to dine here!“

“Great pizza and service!!“
