Reviews for ie - Italian Eatery in Minneapolis, MN
Our favorite Italian restaurant in Minneapolis, the food is authentic but the atmosphere and incredible hospitality is what... makes it feel like Italy! It’s a true neighborhood restaurant, locally owned, yet high class. Some dishes to try - the GoatMilk Ricotta is so good we get it every time. You can’t go wrong with the pasta, this time I really enjoyed the Rigatoni withthe fennel sausage. For desert, i.e. has the absolute best Tiramisu in Minneapolis, served “up”. It is one of the fewplaces I will let the bartender make me an original craft cocktail (shoutout to Jordan), they also have batched cocktails thatare impressive. Read more
Outstanding service and great atmosphere inside and out! Our server was very knowledgeable about options to make our meals... vegan. They have two pasta dishes and two salads that can be veganIzed, as well as a vegan sorbet. The patio is dog-friendly,but only available on a first come, basis. Read more
My partner and I were looking for a nice Italian restaurant to eat at for our first anniversary and I'm so glad we chose this... place! I had asked people in a Facebook Restaurant Review group for their opinion and enough people voted for IE that I couldn'tsay no. The environment was really nice; I'd say it was like a semi-casual bar/restaurant mix. The menu is really limited, butthat usually means that the restaurant specializes in those particular dishes and let me tell you... that's the truth! Westarted with the GOAT MILK RICOTTA and we could tell how fresh the ingredients were. There was even freshly zested lemon mixedin with the ricotta and it added a beautiful citrus kick that we both really enjoyed. For our entrees, we ordered the RIGATONI and the BAKED GARGANELLI. Both of these were absolutely out of this world, but the Rigatoni was the star of the show! Thetruffle was what really made the Rigatoni dish shine. My partner and I still dream about it :) The Baked Garganelli was trulydelicious as well. The meatballs were huge and the sauce was perfect. To finish things off, we had to split an order ofTiramisu! Tiramisu is one of my absolute favorites and our waiter was kind enough to treat us to a piece on-the-house in honorof our anniversary! It even came to our table with a little note and candle :) Our overall experience here was delightful and Ihighly recommend IE to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant in the Twin Cities area. We plan on trying several otherseventually, but this place sits at the top of our list for now. As far as the prices? They're very average for your standardupscale Italian restaurant. Appetizers and desserts were around $10 a piece and entrees ranged upwards of $20. For the qualityand service, I have no complaints! Read more
Wonderful Food and Service! Everything is made in house which I love. Tried many things, the Rigatoni was my favorite, but you... can't go wrong. Definitely making the regular rotation! Read more
I had such a wonderful experience at Italian Eatery! I was there this week to celebrate my birthday with my mom and her... boyfriend. My mom and I both have celiac disease so you wouldn't think we'd choose an Italian Restaurant but I am SO glad I did.I looked at the menu and didn't see anything denoted as gluten free but after reading a handful of reviews on Find Me GlutenFree I had to try it. The meal was absolutely incredible and they even brought out strawberry sorbet as a birthday desserttreat. When I tell you that this is the best sorbet I have EVER had I'm not lying. Our server was absolutely incredible. Izzywas so kind, patient, and pointed out all the items on the menu that could be made gluten free (which was almost everything).The vibe in the restaurant is so nice as well. The fact that they have gluten free noodles is huge! I will definitely bereturning. Make sure you make a reservation as they fill up fast! Read more
Food was delicious this time around 10 out of 10. Went my second time since its near the office. Tried spaghetti, rigatoni, lamb... appetizer and tarimisu. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My last visit I had was the gnocchi dish and octopusappetizer, that didn't go too well. Glad I gave this place a second chance. SUPER DELICIOUS AND WILL BE BACK! Read more
Our favorite restaurant to celebrate special occasions! The food is prepared to perfection, they have a wonderful selection of... wine, and the service is just spectacular. I love the al dente handmade pasta and the affogato for dessert. This is a must forMinneapolis dining. Read more
My wife and I went to IE because we had a gift certificate. Wow that was a good friend to give us that!! Our server was... extremely friendly and energetic. The food was great. I really enjoyed my meatball. They were light and flavorful. I think whatI really liked besides that is the atmosphere. It wasn’t sleepy or boring even on a Wednesday. The dining room is open to theoutdoors and the crowd was lively. Very fun. We will be back! Read more
