    I was kind of excited to try Dagwood's for the first time, sadly their Breakfast sandwiches are not to satisfying. The biscuit is a mediocre resemblance of what a breakfast sandwich should look like, if you're desperate, spend a little extra and go with the croissant. However the egg also does not meet the standards of what breakfast should be.

    I've seen dagwoods recommended on quite a few pages so I made my way in when i had a weekday downtown. It is good, but not outstanding. Friendly counter staff. Quick enough. I just expect a lot out of an Italian sandwich and I've had better. But it's worth a stop

    The Dagwood Special

    Have walked past the location but never went in, but I have door dashed this sandwich so many times, it is always hot and the chips are always delicious, service is always great and always sends extra napkins with! And I love the red checkered paper it makes the to go containers so bright and inviting :) I will always be back

    For those that don't know about Dagwood's, they should certainly check it out if they like hot sandwiches with bulk chips. It's a no-frills, reasonably priced quality lunch (and breakfast) option in the skyway that also serves Italian (pastas) and the service is good and pretty fast for the lunch crowd. I was first introduced to Dagwood's several years ago (not going to date myself) but it's tucked away in the skyway in the Crossings building near Washington Avenue. Not a bad walk during the summer time but at least on a cold day you can still get there without freezing. There are a number of toasted (hot) sandwich options including the Dagwood Special, which has pastrami, ham, and salami topped with cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, mayo and the special (Italian) dressing. The menu also has turkey, veggie, roast beef, tuna and ham and all sandwiches come with (bulk) potato chips or a side salad. For $6.99 (pretax), the price is right and it's worth the walk, plus you get to burn off half of the calories on your walk back to work. I haven't tried the pastas or hot Italian sandwiches - one day soon if I need to carb load. Dagwood's also serves inexpensive breakfast sammies - nothing special but again for about $3, it's hard to beat downtown.

    Just back in town for a day and had to run over to my favorite Mpls sandwich shop. Best in town and best kept secret in town. I think the location keeps the crowds away, but that is very much in your favor as a savvy sandwich hunter (here's a tip, if you don't want to navigate that crazy skyway system, just go to the food court second floor of the "Crossings" building on 2nd). I was just in Miami and tried as many of the famous cubanos and medianoches as I could find around Little Havana (in my unrestrained hedonism I took no notes and will leave no reviews - it was pure sandwich gestalt therapy), I want to put forward a theory that the Dagwood's Special is like Minneapolis' own Cuban...wait, wait, wait...hear me out...Ok? As with that legendary sandwich, bread and cheese are perfectly toasted and the meats receive just a little oven heat to activate all the yummy flavor components. No mustard or pickles, but the dressing is perfectly consistently slathered in good proportion throughout. Iceberg lettuce (shredded) and tomato are as Minnesota a combination as there exists under the sun, both lend a good crunch but also become a single glorious layer of goodness as they fuse with the tangy dressing and are held in by the bread. Meats are high quality and generous - maybe even a little too generous for your waistline. Ok Ok, not a perfect analogy, perhaps, but Minneapolis should be proud to have this simple but awesome hometown original as its welterweight champion to send into the ring. For best results, get the sandwich for here (eat in), so you can get it fresh and hot and enjoy the posthumous chips covered with drippings of dressing. One last thing to note - I've been eating here since the mid-2000s and this sandwich has also been steadily getting better and better over the last ten years as the owners have started making their bread in-house and expanding their menu - so take older reviews with a grain of salt.

    This place is in a really oddball part of the skyway. I've eaten here a few times, and I haven't been back much because the sandwiches are really tiny. They definitely don't do justice to their namesake sandwiches, which are like two feet tall. The real problem here is that the food is overpriced. I recently tried them again and the sandwich is tasty: toasted bun, nice amount of fixings, oil and mayo type deal. I'm not sure if there really is any secret sauce. I got the turkey dagwood and a medium soda and my total was $8.90. Really, Dagwood's? The chips they throw in there are of a standard variety and probably only cost them a few pennies per order. The sandwich was good, but it's too small to be very filling. If I'm going to blow $7+ on a sandwich, I want it to fill me up for real. I really want to like this place, but I'm afraid I will go on being offended by their prices. They also have the audacity to place a tip jar on the counter, which is another slap in the face. You could easily make these sandwiches at home if you were so inspired. The sammies here are good, but they nickel and dime you big time.

    The Dagwood Special.  Mmmm, fluffy toasty bread!

In other contexts, gjetost sticks out as being weird, but making cheesecake out of it was an inspired idea, especially with the marmalade sauce with candied orange peels. Amazing. When you make reservations, one of the options is "pasta bar". Note that that is bar seating. You sit on stools and face the kitchen. Just an FYI. Servers were really nice and it's a cool environment. But it's expensive and I need the pasta dishes to be better. If they make half as good an impression on me as that Gjetost Cheesecake that would blow my mind.

Moving onto our dinner portion, the burrata was yummy but it needed more balsamic and one more slice of grilled ciabatta. The Brussels could have been Caramelized a little longer as they were a little hard when biting into. They were also just sitting in a puddle of honey, so that was the main flavor I was tasting. The pasta dish was so tiny and only has 4 small pieces of chicken. It didn't really have a taste, other than cream. For dessert, we ordered the caramel sea salt custard, seasonal cobbler (peach), and the budino. The standout for me was the caramel sea salt custard, the salted caramel popcorn was a fun crunch amongst the creamy thick custard. My cappuccino was very small, but it was a nice touch to serve it with a little biscotti piece (I would have appreciated a longer piece though). If I'm in the area for a show at the Target Center again or any theaters, I would give them another shot. I would not drive from the suburbs for this though.

The waitress was training a new member and both of them were very nice and accommodating. They confirmed my curiosity on our pizza selection and they were not wrong. I'm a huge wing fan, but I'd say the wings themselves were over spiced - we both thought too much seasoning was used. The cheese puffs were really good, but I was hoping for more of a garlic cheese flavor. The pizza was 10/10 and that is the item that would get me to come back. Wedge salad not pictured as I dove right in. It was interesting - it was loaded with a lot of unknown flavors.

Dario's beverage menu is wonderful, and I especially want to draw attention to their extensive selection of non-alcoholic options. In addition to house-made sodas and creative cocktails, they have a wonderful list of dealcoholized wines--awesome news for anyone who is looking for a zero proof drink. As for the food, Dario knocks it out of the park with a menu that offers options for all tastes. The menu is designed to share, and the variety ensures that there will be something for everyone. The first two dishes that ai sampled were the Gem Lettuces, which our server described as "a Caesar salad on steroids" and the Morel Mushrooms. The Gem Lettuces were delicious--the zippy vinaigrette was better than any Caesar I have had before, the cheese was a fluffy, savory, and salty delight, and the puffed farro was a pleasing alternative to the usual croutons. Bonus: it's fish-free! I'd say that it's less a Caesar salad on steroids and more what happens when the Caesar salad next door goes off to college and has a glow-up. The morels were served on polenta and complemented with Madeira and tarragon. They came with a confit egg yolk. The presentation was strikingly beautiful, and the flavors pure and harmonious. The morels were cooked perfectly and went beautifully with the wine and tarragon--it was a great dish for spring, and everyone enjoyed the layers of texture and flavor. For our pasta choices, we had the English Pea Triangoli that Lu recommended (thanks Lu!) and the doppio. It's easy to see why Dario is known for its pasta--these dishes were amazing. The English Pea Triangoli was otherworldly: sweet peas, snap peas, onions, mint, and pea sprouts come together with butter to make a nostalgic little bite of heaven. It tastes like spring. Sicilian pistachios add crunch and another layer of sweet and salt, and the lightly steamed vegetables and fresh pea shoots and mint also added layers of texture and freshness. Positively superlative. The Doppio was also gorgeous: one side is filled with ricotta and the other sunchoke. Honey adds sweetness and the hazelnuts toastiness reminiscent of browned butter. The rosemary complemented it all. For my dessert, I had the Earl Gray tea cake. It had a very pleasing crumb and subtle sweetness, and the lemon whipped cream was the perfect accompaniment. The sprinkle of toffee cookie added a lovely caramelized crunch, and the bright acidity of the rhubarb was preserved, making for a juicy and refreshing burst of flavor in every bite. Splendid! Thanks to Dario for a wonderful evening!

When my friend and I walked in, we came into a fairly spacious dimly lit space with loads of people inside. We were immediately informed that there would be over 1.5hr wait for a walk-in table. We were given the option to wait for bar seating as it would probably be quicker - and surely, it was. We did have to wait quite a bit, but it was a tolerable amount of time and definitely less than what it would have taken for an actual table. My friend and I decided to share 2 pizza pies as we wanted to get a taste of two different flavors, so we eventually settled on Korean BBQ & Perfect Pickle Pie. KOREAN BBQ As it was created by a Korean chef, it definitely had true authentic Korean flavors. As a Korean myself, I was very familiar with this soy vinaigrette and have tried this on many salad before - so, it was hitting home for me. Also, you can't go wrong with the bulgogi/beef short ribs known to all those who had Korean BBQ before. The combination of the sauces that they use for this pizza is definitely very rich, full of umami. I personally enjoyed it. PERFECT PICKLE PIE This pie was a totally different flavor to the Korean BBQ. It's less rich and maybe can be overpowered or considered more bland compared to other pizza flavors. But when tried together with the BBQ, it balances out the richness of the BBQ with the more subtle/less umami flavors. This pie gives more of a tangy/sour taste that pickles provide and more of a crunch due to the chips that are added on top. The dill is present, but not overpowering. It's a nice low-key kind of taste that people who like pickles will enjoy. Overall, the flavors were very rich in every pizza pie that we had that our mouths were bursting with flavor. It was definitely the most unique pizza toppings that I've had and can see why it's so highly regarded. I can tell that they really are meticulous with their every process and that their pizza guy by the wood fire oven is expertise in what he does. My friend and I walked out quite satisfied and I was honestly more full than I expected.
