Top Spots for Italian Food

Got a little bit of Roma in you? Hit up the best spots in Minneapolis Saint Paul to sauce up your dinner.

Figlio

Dubbed an Italian bistro with a Californian twist, Uptown’s Figlio features lobster ravioli to “adult” mac n’ cheese. Plus, with one of the best happy hours in Minneapolis and late night dining on the weekend, they’ve got mouths and wallets leaving happy.

Buca di Beppo

That’s right: the Buca dynasty started right here in Minneapolis. Visit the original on the edge of downtown, where family style and kitsch lives strong. Garlic mash potatoes, here you come.

Pizza Luce

Hello, pizza pie. A lot of former residents who live in pizza meccas like New York City are known to pine for Luce (pronounced loo-che). You can get the standard pepperoni here, but Luce’s menu errs on the eclectic, with Garlic Mashed Potato, Shrimp Al Pesto and Spanish Chicken leading the way (they also serve hogies, pasta and salad).

Amore Victoria

Also in Uptown, at Amore Victoria pasta collides with scallops, veal and chops. Other treasures are the affordable wine list and their gourmet pizza. Stick around when the moon comes out—its late night happy hour is known to attract crowds of youngins’.

PazzaLuna (Saint Paul)

This style of purchasing is the true Italian trattoria way - using local, regionally grown and produced supplies. It’s the perfect place—both urban and relaxed—to enjoy a glass of wine before (or after) a show at the Ordway.
