Our server (Kari Jo?) - fantastic. Knew wines; knew food details. Paid great attention - just the right amount (it was a business meeting). Crowded - noisy - but able to hear because we were in a booth. Frankly - that was great to see (and hear). Ciao Bella - worth it on all levels!

We shared beef carpaccio, beet salad and Mushroom Cappaletti pasta. It was a nice amout for two of us. The Beef C was v good; partner was unsure but I coaxed him. He agreed, upon tasting, it was v good! The beet salad not anything extraordinary, but nonetheless, v good- variety of beets, with good combo of additions and seasonings. And the Mushroom Capaletti- always my favorite! Yummy mushrooms in a yum cream sauce, w pasta- Cant go wrong! WINE LIST- Excellent! Sevl v good choices on this list. I LOVE they continue to carry Sagrantino‼️. One of my favorites, and Hard to find! Rachel, our wait staff, was superb. Overall, v pleasant experience!! LOVE this place! We both agree, its a fun spot to bring guests or out of towners. Cant imagine being sisappointed here; we are Return Customers, for sure!

The 10 oz filet was on the best steak I’ve ever had. The espresso martinis were delicious. We hadn’t been since 2018 and it was even better than we remembered. 5 stars!

This is a dinner time gem! If you drink wine go next-door and get a bottle there and bring it to the restaurant so you can avoid the cork fees. The food and the service are top-notch as always. I wish it was a little quieter for conversation but we always have a good time no matter who we go with

The butternut squash raviolo was fantastic. The service was also fantastic - which I don't say lightly. Friendly, informed, prompt - a fantastic dining experience all around.

this place was truly amazing! Jordan the hostess was very nice and helpful getting ourtable when we arrived 30 min early. At the bar dreon & bailer we super nice getting our drinks fast! We sat at the chefs seating, we never heard of it but it was kind of like when you sit a sushi bar, low and comfortable, but instead you can see t he kitchen, it was cool to see some of the process. Once we sat dowwn candy was very friendly & nice. The food was great definaalty in line with a high end restaurant pricing was fair for the quality & level of food. Me and my wife were curious about what japanese italian fusion would be, we love japanese, we love italian how bad could it be? Turned out to be amazing. The experience and atmosphere it definitely leaned to japanese / asian, the fettuccine was epic and teh pizza looked great although we didn't try one. For "dessert" we went upstairs to thier japanese whiskey bar! My wife loves japaanese whiskey however we dont too much and were eager to learn. The amazing Violet was amazing! She put togetehr a cusom flight of 4 whiskeys , all different qualities. Violet taught us about the history of japanee whiskey and shared about how each one was made. Her knowledge and recommendations made the whole experience great! It went from "lets graab a drink" to a full on tasting experience that we will never forget! It was our fist time in minneapolis the entire team really helped to put it on the map for us, well be back for sure, thank you!

We were seeing a show nearby and looking for a quick bite to eat so we tried out Mother Clucker's because how do you walk past a place with that name and not go in? It was SO GOOD. Seriously. The bartender was so nice and recommended the chicken sandwich with mac as "fire." She was not wrong. So. Good.
