“Can I give EATO, ten stars? Food - the best I have had in years; the service - flawless, perfect mix of professional and friendly; the atmosphere - welcoming and casual. I would not have changed a thing! I had a large group of people coming into Minneapolis from all over the country and a few local friends recommended EATO for the group farewell dinner. A few weeks ago I stopped in and talked to the manager, Jason, and he suggested a half restaurant buyout for the group with tables over by the bar. (Excellent idea, it worked out great!) Then he connected me with Chloe who helped me pick menu items so my guests could choose a salad course and an entree course from five options, with optional protein additions, she also printed out custom menus to welcome my guests. Super easy process, and Chloe had great suggestions,. When we arrived Jesse, Connor, and Chloe were ready and waiting at the bar to handle the group of 30 people, serving them drinks with fresh flowers in them, special tap beers, and bubbly Prosecco. I think part of the group also had some killer Old Fashions they raved about. Connor and Jesse were our servers and they moved through the tables taking orders, delivering the food, filling water glasses, getting drinks, etc. The table service was impeccable, these guys know how to treat guests like honored family. (What more could you ask for?!) I don't know the chef's name, but kudos to the kitchen. The food came out quickly, and was plated beautifully. Without fail, every guest told me that their meal was fantastic. I personally had the beet salad (yum!) and the chicken Parmesan. It was the best chicken parm I have ever had, not kidding. Thank you, EATO, for helping me put on a wonderful event! - Libby Huebner, corporate event planner“

“Great service and food!!!!“

“One of our fav Italian spots in Minneapolis! Always great service and the food is exactly what we expect. I've had several different dishes and have always been pleased. And you have to finish the meal with a yummy creme brulee *chefs kissing“

“The Italian cafeteria experience is great. It's particularly enjoyable when hanging out on West 7th for the day or before an event. Grab dessert from the Pasticceria too, it's fantastic. Cossetta's has been a staple of the area for a long time for good reason.“

“We frequent Yarusso’s and will always be a favorite! Decided to have them cater my girlfriend’s 40th and Jerry absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! First class food and service that is unmatched“

“Amazing service, informative wait staff, and an incredibly intimate environment! Their 3 course menu is put together beautifully. They have very delicious soups we tried the duck soup and the mushroom soup, both were delightfully tasty. They have the most divine lamb chops! All the food we had was flavorful and cooked to perfection. They make an amazing homemade ginger ale that has that perfect bite of ginger to it. The restaurant is small but cozy and there are wonderful views from the windows. Our waiter Bryant did an amazing job explaining the menu options and telling us about the off menu specials. They have a Sunday Date Night menu as well and I assure you that you won't be disappointed by anything you order. Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a place to have a romantic dinner!“

“We had the Chicago pizza, and we absolutely loved it!!! We will be coming back a lot. For sure.“

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

“We had a party of 16 at short notice who needed to be accommodated and we were very well attended to. Little Oven Staff knocked it out of the park! Thank you all!“

“This italian hole in the wall is the perfect balance of casual and upscale. Appropriate for a nice date or small celebration. We brought my parents here as their christmas gift. The food is so so good. The bucatini and brown butter ravioli are current favorites. The lasagna is also a top favorite. The wine list isn't extensive but really excellent and my server had great recommendations. The cocktails are good and my husband especially likes their "mucci juice" It's also a summer favorite because of the beautiful patio. The tiramisu and cherry cheesecake were fantastic as well. The servers are the kind that know what they're doing and know how to enhance your meal, real professionals. Who ever is doing the hiring knows what they're doing. Keep it up and we keep coming back!

Vegetarian options: Many of the pasta dishes are vegetarian with the option to add protein.

Parking: Street parking is available but may be a short walk

Kid-friendliness: It's not a place I would recommend to bring kids. It's small and intimate“

“RUN - don’t walk to this place! We are visiting St. Paul and this is one of theee best Italian restaurants we have ever been to (and we have some experience in this kitchen!) Everything was just phenomenal- Highlights: The Braciole app is probably the best we have ever had. The Misticanza salad was light and lovely- Both the Arrabiatta(added sausage) and the Pacchari Pesto w/shrimp mains were to die for! And For dessert the Budino! Service was perfectly attentive and the ambience - was delightful! We will 100% be back if we are in the area“

“We went to Olive Garden last night for my daughters birthday. We were a party of 8. It was really packed but they worked quickly to get us in. Our server, Tim,was attentive, friendly and funny. My daughter was too full for cake so Tim brought her out a "breadstick birthday cake". We thought it was very sweet and clever. Thank you Tim, you are a great host.“

“The Cave Cafe is one of my new favorite trucks that I’ve had. The Boss Wrap is unbelievable! Chicken and gyro meat is a great combination and it works really well here. The chicken quesadilla has a generous amount of chicken and is grilled perfectly, a high quality quesadilla. Cave Cafe was one of the highlights for me at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Everyone was so friendly too. Afro-Italian fusion makes for incredible tasting food. I need to keep track of this food truck in the future!“

“Las pastas son muy buenas“

“I could come here everyday for lunch, the pasta is made fresh in plastic spill free containers for to go orders. Pizza is simple amazing no soggy end when you hold it up to eat.
