50 Best Italian Restaurants near Richfield

“Coolest atmosphere. Consistently delicious food (delivery, takeout or in-house!). Excellent staff. We've mostly been enjoying our Lucé at home the past few years, but had a teen visiting and wanted to give them the full Lucé experience. I made a reservation requesting a booth because of hearing loss and sensory sensitivities in our family. We were given a booth back in the corner and we haven't had an evening out that was so pleasant as a family in years! Staff was excellent - for us and the family at the next table with a high-energy toddler who had a spill that was cleaned by cheerful staff who assured the family it was no problem. We used to be that family, so I appreciated this! Everything was clean and the restaurant looks to be in great condition. The artichoke dip was the best ever (I swear we marvel this every time we have it). We tried two new pizza types - the Classic and Wild Mushroom - both were excellent, though Athena and The Lucé will still be our go-to choices. The greek salad was high quality and very fresh. The slice of cheese pizza we took home to our youngest was good (as always - it's the picky little dude's favorite pizza!) Another word on staff - We appreciated our host and server's clear communication; I'm unsure if they did this because of awareness of our noted hearing issue, but thanks to that and the booth placement, I don't think any of us had to ask for repeats. Thank you Luce for honoring the booth request and being consistent with excellent food and service - it made a world of difference for our whole family! ("Tubular" as our visiting teen said)“

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

“Best pasta in the Twin Cities?????? Cavatelli with Rabbit Sugo was marvelous. We swapped and tried each others and I was equally floored by all of them. Wonderful service. Our server was friendly and helpful. Delicious drinks and cheesecake for dessert (ate immediately, not pictured). Absolutely will come back- hopefully soon!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing food always. Owners are very lovely folks“

“Thank you for superb service and wonderful food. Best lasagna I have ever had!“

“Every time I come to Prima, I am greeted by a woman with curly hair and beautiful smile. She is always so kind and gives great service. Today was no different. I ordered crab cakes and a pasta with sausage dish would was delicious. I remembered to take pics this time but I highly recommend this place.

FYI - I did have multiple glasses of red wine.“

“If you're looking for authentic Italian deli fare, Brianno's is the real deal. The location wasn’t quite where I was expecting—tucked away and easy to miss if you’re not familiar with the area—but absolutely worth finding. I was genuinely impressed with the sandwiches – packed with flavor and clearly made with quality ingredients. The price point felt fair considering the portion sizes; I easily got two hearty servings out of just half a hoagie. The taste was incredible – rich, fresh, and satisfying in every bite. I can't wait to come back and try more from their menu! Highly recommend for anyone craving a true Italian deli experience.“

“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.“

“incredible food, wonderful dining experience the staff is incredible and knowledgeable. Love the family owned vibe. I also love the open kitchen concept it makes everything feel so cozy and involved. I can't wait to come back as it is a true staple to the elevated dining scene“

“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.“

“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!“

“What a treat!! My whole family loved it!!“

“Wanted to write this to specifically shout out Michelle my waitress from last night. I came in for the Eclub early access Never Ending Pasta. Michelle was beyond helpful with knowing exactly what email I was referring to and giving me a menu and recommendations for the early access special. Always made sure I had refills in a timely manner and was truly one of the best servers I’ve ever had.“

“The servers were running around like their heads were cut off we weren't even sure when we left who our main server was supposed to have been things were brought by different people orders were taken and updated by different people it just was chaos“

“I am from Massachusetts so I have never had your food before. Placed an order earlier in the afternoon for a kids meal and a side of meatballs. Unfortunately the meatballs were not ready so I left without them. The pesto pasta kids meal was outstanding - so when it came time to order dinner I went back. The same gentleman who took my first order - remembered me and asked if I still wanted the meatballs - I almost didn't get them - but I am so glad I did! Some of the best meatballs and sauce I have ever eaten. I'll now be on the lookout to visit your other locations if there are any where I travel. What a terrific experience and a great way to end my visit! Maybe one day one of your places will open in Massachusetts - what a wonderful day that will be.“

“Quaint little joint in NE in a residential area. \nThe bar is nice & big- looks like a good happy hour place. \nWe sat at one of the tables up front. We had the cheese dip with crostini for our appetizer. Good flavor. We needed more bread to enjoy the whole ramekin of cheese. For dinner we had the bolognese- nice thick noodles, very filling! We also enjoyed the prime steak & the smoked pork chop. At the best I’ve ever had but still a nice meal.“

“Great vibes. Good cocktails. Food options are limited but great taste. I ordered a salad which was listed as v for vegetarian but it came with prosciutto. Admitting the mistake, they waived off my 5 drinks from the bill which was great gesture. Also, the manager apologized atleast 5 times for the mistake and assure to make corrections to the menu. They also have a bakery and deliver cakes and pastries to your table at the rooftop which is really awesome.“

“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.“

“Future husband took me on first date in 1968 to Carbones on Marie. Had Carbone's on our wedding day and every anniversary since. Had Carbones on each of his birthdays and when overdue on each of our pregnancies. He passed away 16 years ago but I still have Carbones on our anniversary and his birthday; he would have been 81 today. The pizza is still as grand as my memories.“

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

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

“BEST FOOD IN THE AREA!!!!“

“Party of 12 had a blast and the fettuccine was not bland at all! The sirloin steak was fabulous! The Strawberry Margarita was perfectly made. Chicken was not soggy. The minestrone soup was excellent and the salad was perfect. Pleasantly surprised with this Olive Garden visit. Servers were so attentive.“

“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.“

“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!! ❤️“

“We had such a great experience at Olive Garden thanks to our server, Luis! He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and honestly, his little jokes throughout the meal made the whole experience even better. He had us laughing and feeling comfortable the entire time. You can tell he loves what he does; his positive energy really stood out. The food was great as always, but Luis definitely made our visit special. We’ll be asking for him every time we come 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.“

“Excellent Lunch. Had the half @ half salads. Fresh Mozzarella & Veggie and Broccoli Sunflower salads. Very nice and fresh.
Enjoyed the Hot Italian sandwich. Yum!
Nice deli, fresh items w/ a pizza oven!
Great friendly service.“

“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.“

“Our server was first rate. She was attentive and responsive, and she offered menu suggestions in response to our questions. The food was delicious and authentically Turkish. Would definitely go back!“
