There was a lot right in front of the restaurant, and my order was ready before I arrived! I entered the taco restaurant and gave them my name and they had my order ready! I got the Spinach and Mushroom Ravioli. I was genuinely shocked at how good it was. You get a really generous portion (this could be split between 2-3 people), and they were very generous with the mushrooms! It came with a creamy sauce with caramelized onions that was so delicious I wanted to finish every last drop! It did come with a piece of garlic bread to help with that though! I was blown away by how good this pasta was, and I would highly recommend it!! I will be back soon!

The ravioli were large and nicely stuffed, plenty of mushrooms, cheese, and spinach in a creamy Alfredo and mushroom sauce with succulent pieces of chicken. I highly recommend it. The Bruschetta was on point, fresh diced tomatoes and basil with slices of garlic, shaved parmesan, and a balsamic glaze, served with two split and toasted ciabatta rolls. YUM.

I had the pleasure of dining at their SLP location in the Texa-Tonka area with my husband in the…read morespring of 2026 and was in love with the vibe of that location and every single dish we ordered. So when my bestie was in The Cities for a work thing and wanted to grab dinner, I suggested we try out this location. In true Rosalia fashion, she did not disappoint. We were able to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and dine al fresco on their patio. The bonus here was the cutest, most well-behaved dogs sitting with their owners. This location has a smaller menu than the SLP location as they don't make pasta dishes here, but they do have the trip dip appetizer, the salads, and pizzas. If you've never had baba ghanoush, GET IT HERE. Rosalia's is so creamy. I have no idea how they do it, and nor do I care, because I'll gladly continue to throw my money at them for this stuff. The carrot tahina is also outstanding and I've never had anything quite like it. It's such a shame that the hummus, while amazing on it's own, is paired with these two - because it doesn't stand a chance. It will come in third place every time. A good palate cleanser I guess? It comes with a very large, freshly fired pane carasau. This time around we ordered the Bianca pizza. I'm not sure why one would even bother with a Margherita pizza when the Bianca is the way to go. The lemon ricotta, arugula, garlic (sliced), and pecorino are simple yet tasty ingredients on their own - but having them all together in one dish now, I can't imagine not having them together all the time. You could easily take all the toppings off this pizza and toss it in some linguine or angel hair and it would taste just as divine. Our server was also very attentive and knowledgeable. I'm not up to snuff on my Italian wines and she was able to recommend the perfect glass based on my preferences. 10/10 would visit any Rosalia without a second thought. Hard to say which one is my favorite so far - the one with the pasta or the patio dogs?

Our group decided to check out Meet Up Noodle and I'm so glad we did. We stopped in mid week for dinner and the restaurant was about half full. There was only one server which made things a little slower, but we love a local restaurant working with what they have. It was great to see the noodles being made fresh through the little window, it was mesmerizing, and I could watch it all day long. We tried three or four different appetizers, the scallion, pancakes, chicken, wings, dumplings, and a wrap... All delicious and highly recommend all of them. I'm always a sucker for a good scallion pancake. You would recommend that over the others. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the appetizer. Our group order it a variety of different dishes, some went with soups some went with noodles... Everything was delicious. The portion seems spot on and enough to take home for the next day. I appreciated that when I customize my noodle order everything was made exactly how I ordered it. The canned/bottled drink game is also on point if you like a good Asian sparkling drink, I highly recommend the grape option. I'll definitely go back, in fact, I am counting down the days I can go and have fresh noodles again. If you're in the area, or even if you're not... Check this place out.

The noodles were very good chewy springy, but the broth was quite disappointing. It had little to no flavor. The shrimp were quite small and the mussels were the large New Zealand ones not the PEI small ones. I'm not a huge fan of the larger New Zealand ones so I picked them out and did not eat them. My friend who had a cold noodle dish, also expressed that it did not have much flavor, but the noodles were again quite good.

I've lived in the general neighborhood for a couple of years, but only visited this place for the first time a few weeks ago and boy, I wish I knew about it earlier. This place has a huge selection of fresh baked breads, cookies, pastries, as well as some more savory sandwich options and other amazing dishes. All of the baked goods are self serve in which you put on a plastic glove and load up your tray with whatever you'd like and then pay at the end. As for the sandwiches, you'd have to order at the front. I have only ever done baked goods here, but the staff have all been extremely kind to me. The baked goods are all amazing and super affordable. Most of the baked goods are between 1 and 3 bucks a piece. I have been back a number of times in the last few weeks and tried a lot of their dishes and they have all been amazing. The place is pretty small inside, but there are a few places to sit. That being said, it's definitely much more common to just do it to-go.

Once I finally did, I was greeted by a baked goods wonderland and a real nice guy named Omar. What a treasure! The format: Grab a tray and load it up (using tongs and pastry papers). Omar was incredibly helpful by offering us lots of info and suggestions. Like us, you'll have a darned difficult time figuring out what to pick from what seems like hundreds of Ecuadorian treats, both sweet and savory. So I think we ended up with 14+ items? And it all cost just $12! They have cakes, sweet baked goods, savory baked goods, hot food to order, savory sauces made in-house, candies, coffee, cute seasonal gifts and more! Some of our faves from our haul, and forgive me for not remembering the names: this cookie that looks like a Home Simpson donut and coincidentally is amazing when dipped into hot coffee, bun filled with pineapple jam, decorated sugar cookies, a baked good filled with cheese topped with sugar, and the fried ribs that came with a side dish (under $5!). Bonus - the ingredients are all listed in English.

***EMPANADAS GOAT***…read more MPLS is #14 in the world for foodie places by the National Geographic & WOW did these empanadas hit the spot or what?! Authentic Argentina food at its finest. I have never tasted empanadas like this before. I've had three different kinds so far the Carne, the pepperoni Messi, & the spinach. These are absolutely unmatched absolutely incredible and the taste is so flavorful and very bold. You can taste how fresh it is, and it is so full of gooey gooey cheese, and I love it because a lot of the empanadas do not appear as full impact of ingredients as these empanadas here. They are only $5.99 each. What an incredible deal! They have so many different selections. It's very hard to pick. I've been to the downtown Minneapolis location and now I've been to the uptown location and it is literally all the rave. I wish there was one in the north loop.

The garlic mashed potatoes were fabulous, boasting a delicious garlicky taste that paired perfectly with the mac and cheese. For dessert, we enjoyed both the turtle cake and berry tart, which were rich in flavor. The berry tart had a delightful fruitiness, while the chocolate cake was sweet without being overly sweet.
