24 Best Italian Restaurants near Wayzata

“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.“

“Stopped to grab a gift card and ended up ordering a pizza too. It has been a minute since I had Punch. Tonight was amazing! Piping hot pizza with loads of sausage and mushrooms. I ate a couple slices while heading home. The pizza really hit the spot, and the service was great as well. 😊“

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

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

“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!“

“This place is a hidden gem! Amazing Italian dishes that are delicious, well made, and craveable. They have traditional and unique entrees. The fried ravioli is so good! Make sure to save room for their desserts as they are a taste adventure of their own. Service is timely and the staff are friendly, upbeat, and welcoming. There's indoor and outdoor seating. This is a great place for a special occasion or just to get some comfort food when you need it.“

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

“Staff chattering among selves with conversations easily heard…this at the front door desk area. My wine was not palatable and left most of it. No follow up with service person as to why it was hardly drank so no opportunity to let her know. Follow up on food…mouth full of food which is Murphys law.“

“Went there for the bogo lunch deal. The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was great. Huge pieces of chicken. My boyfriend’s spaghetti with meatballs looked great. First time at this location we will be back!“

“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!“

“Excellent food, excellent service!“

“If the TV show Cheers had a pizza joint in Hopkins, it would be Pizza Lucé.

This is one of those rare places where everyone seems to know your name and even better, remembers your order. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and authentically neighborhood-focused. Whether you’re stopping in after a bike ride, meeting friends for brunch, or grabbing a late-night bite, it feels like home.

The service team is outstanding. Hannah went above and beyond, crafting two custom coffee martinis that were every bit as good as anything you’d find at a dedicated cocktail bar. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you that’s the standard here.

The brunch is excellent, especially on the patio when Minnesota weather cooperates. Located right along the bike path, it’s the perfect destination for food, drinks, and people-watching. The menu has something for everyone, from creative specialty pizzas and breakfast pizzas to vegan options, plus favorites like bruschetta and lasagna.

Reasonable prices, generous hours, consistently great food, and a staff that treats you like family. In a world of chains and cookie-cutter restaurants, Pizza Lucé Hopkins remains a true neighborhood gem.

Sometimes you want more than a meal, you want a place where everybody knows your name. This is that place. #cheers!“

“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!“

“Angeno’s is the best! Excellent food at a nice price, and the best, friendliest service you’ll ever encounter. Kelly is the epitome of a true professional, providing exemplary service with a smile. The calzones are the bomb!!“

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

“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 😆)“

“My wife and I were craving pizza and stopped at Red's Savoy in Osseo,MN tonight to place a takeout order. John, the owner was working the counter and was a very friendly and funny guy. He is a great addition to the Osseo business district. We were going to order our pizza and go next door for a beer while they prepped it. John asked us why not have a beer here? So we did and he kept us laughing and entertained between answering the phone taking orders. The restaurant was clean, the company was good and pizza looked awesome and smelled and tasted even better. If you are craving pizza near Osseo,MN, do yourself a favor and head over to Red's Savoy and get the best pizza in town. Maybe even have a beer with the boss while you wait. The Eastsider pizza with the sauerkraut is a MN legend!“

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