29 Best Italian Restaurants in Saint Paul

“I truly can’t name a better restaurant in the twin cities. The food is amazing of course but the customer service knocks it out of the park for me every time. Thank you thank you thank you“

“Hyacinth is a keeper. Creative food, well prepared, small but extremely well chosen wines. Portions were large, a bit too large in my view. Hyacinth is one of the few restaurants in the post Covid dining world that is daring to show us how innovative dining can be done.“

“Our first time here, we've been meaning to try this place out for a while now and I'm glad we came. Our server was great, he took great care of us, very informational on the food, drinks, and dessert, he didnt miss a beat. Wished I would have gotten his name - but he had long blonde hair that he put up. The food all came out at once, obviously we asked for the appetizer to come out first, we had no complaints on the food, everything wad delicious. We left home satisfied with everything. Only thing that my husband complained about was the parking lot - kind of small and if it became busy, you'll have to park elsewhere.“

“Mama's has the best food for your event - from Pizza to Mostaccioli and a superior Antipasto Salad. Thanks Tony for taking care of me for my Christmas Eve dinner. Brian J“

“I almost order a pizza from Dominos (med pan 3 toppings) total for delivery was $30.75 before tip. Got a lunch and appetizer delivered. $27.00 with tip. AND THIS WIIL TASTES GOOD instead of cardboard with tomato soup on it.“

“Great service and food!!!!“

“Incredible food & drinks, incredible service! I wish I lived closer because I'd eat here every week!“

“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!“

“Love, love, love! Date night, family dinners! One stop shop! St Paul historical restaraunt! Atmosphere is welcoming and staff is helpful.They cater to their customers and make sure your needs are met. 3 levels. Best Fresh & Authentic Pasta Pizza, Canoli and tiramasu ever! Enjoy Everytime we Go!“

“First time here and what a fantastic experience. I came with my daughter and we both loved everything about it—the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the meals were absolutely fantastic, and the wine menu was excellent. I can’t remember our server’s name, but she’s been serving for 40 years and it showed in the best way possible—professional, friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. This was one of those meals where nothing felt rushed and everything just worked. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.“

“What a wonderful place. My boys took me here for dinner last night and it was fantastic. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was incredible. I will be back again and again. Thank you!“

“5 🌟 Best red sauce in town. I wish they still had the manicotti and stuffed peppers mmmmm“

“Mucci’s was a fantastic romantic dinner spot. The appetizer meatballs had a unique texture that I preferred over other meatballs. The fall pasta special was incredible and paired perfectly with the tagliatelle that was the perfect blend of lemon and cream. The pasta noodles tasted homemade and were so good.

The patio was pretty and was packed by 7pm. We got a reservation for a Tuesday night and would recommend making one.“

“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!“

“Outstanding food experience!
The food here is always great 👍 and their pastry bar offers a great selection of beautiful and delicious desserts. It's great for dine in or take away. And don't forget to check out the grocery store!
Love this place ❣️“

“Had a very special celebrations here recently and it was amazing. Staff was awesome, food was delicious and ambiance was top notch. Every person in our party commented on what a great find this place was and how they couldn’t wait to come back. Thank you to the Luci Ancora team for making our celebration so wonderful.“

“Base price for pasta no longer includes SAUCE! I ordered pasta with three veggies, chicken and Alfredo. I paid $10.99 for the pasta (a price increase) PLUS $2.99 for the SAUCE! Total over $15.00. Deceptive pricing practice. I normally order the spicy rosa (now $1.99) with sausage, which is delicious and recommend. This time I opted for the alfredo. It tastes suspiciously like jarred alfredo. Not worth the price.“

“We love this place. Best Neapolitan pizza.
Always a table available. Fast service. Order at the counter and meal is brought to you by friendly staff.
There is a nice patio during warm weather months. A free parking lot or on street parking.“

“We've been coming here for Christmas the last few years and always love it! Adam was our server this year and he was terrific! Gave us several fun facts about the building and various pictures around the place. We'll be back next year!! Probably a couple of times dive we also got some coupons. Yay!“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“Amazing food from an amazing restaurant, owned by an amazing family!!“

“What a night - somehow even after the wild loss this Sunday our group had a blast! Food was great - service was impeccable and the view was extremely enjoyable. After all of that I would have been a repeat customer but it gets even better …. I was in a hurry to beat traffic and I left my vest Sunday evening. They are closed on Monday …. I reached out via Facebook and they returned my vest with my truck keys - which is already a huge win - but they showed up during closed hours for me on Monday to make it happen- next level stuff I’m still blown away that they went this far above and beyond … can’t wait for my next trip to the cities for zambonis !! Thanks again to your team for the service and just kindness you don’t get everywhere anymore. Go wild !“

“Consistently good service and food. excellent hot wings, lasagna, sandwiches and of course any kind of pizza you can imagine. This is the 3rd or 4th location I've tried(Eagan and Minneapolis). I definitely recommend Pizza Luce anytime. Brunch and trivia, available on select days as well.“

“I have enjoyed Davanni's for years, the pizza and especially the hot hoagies
Due to a move, I have been going to the Grand & Cleveland location. I am very pleased and appreciative with the friendly service of the young people working. Thank you!“

“Did not eat at bar but had drinks and the Tony and Jay were our bartenders and were fantastic, very friendly and attentive to our needs. It was my son’s birthday and he enjoyed the great service. There were a lot of customers and it’s nice they just flow don’t make it look like they are over whelmed and serve everyone in timely manner.“

“I can't say enough about this Pizza Man! Their pizza is #1 in Eagan. And they really know how to take care of their customers. Thank you Chad for all you have done!! We have been customers since you opened and we are not changing. You guy are AWESOME!!“

“If you are looking for a great pizza spot, you’ve found it. The wings are great too!“
