This place was super nice! The lighting and everything gave a very fancy vibe. I felt like I should have dressed better. Service was great too. I told the waitress that I drink a lot, so she brought me 2 diet Cokes every time she came by. It was the best drink service I've had in a while. Also having water on the table is always a plus. The food was pretty decent too. All the portions are split there, as I shared with a friend. I enjoyed the salad, it had a good amount of dressing without over saturation. The chicken Parm was decent enough, not my favorite, but I think that might be me not being super into chicken Parm. I absolutely loved the olives, I ate that plate clean. read more

We have been to DeGidios many times in the past years, and I remembered liking it before. I'm sad that it's no longer as good now. Food: we were surprised that the portions were way smaller than before. Our salads cost what I would pay for a regular dinner salad, but it was more like a very small side salad. Our pastas were super small and pricey. For what you pay, it's no longer the same. Service: our server didn't come to take drink orders until everyone at the table arrived. We felt very rushed throughout dinner. Ambience: still a cozy warm interior as it always has been. Comfy booths. read more

Busy place. Good Italian food nice drinks Good service at the bar. Ordered the chicken parmigiana which is a nice sized portion taste is good The bread pudding for dessert very good could use a bit more ice cream I would recommend this restaurant read more

This was my first time in Minnesota, celebrating graduation! I love italian food, especially super filling and delicious italian food. DeGidios was not only super delicious, but the staff were kind and efficient and it was very easy to make a reservation read more

This is by far the best Italian food in the area. If you don't make a reservation, you will have to sit on the bar side which is nice too. I've always had fast, friendly service and the food is amazing. Highly likely to return!! read more

Dinner consisted of a glass of Pinot noir, chopped salad, bread and mostaccioli and meatballs. Meal was just ok. The marinara had a strange chemical taste to it. I wasn't able to finish my plate and didn't take a box. Meatballs were tough, likely over mixed. Flavor just ok. Pasta was cooked to a Perfect Al dente so I'll give them that. Chopped salad was enjoyable, portion size was good for the price and very flavorful. Bread is served with garlic butter. 3 slices for a table of 2. Parking is horrendous. Restaurant was fully booked for a Saturday night walk-in, so we had to grab a seat at the bar. Hostesses not friendly. No welcome coming in or thank you going out. Chad the bartender was busy, friendly enough but not intrusive. Overall experience was just ok, but $100 for dinner for two should be a little better than ok/average. Disappointed tonight after receiving a recommendation to eat here. On to the next... read more

There are not a ton of Italian spots that I enjoy in the area that I'm from (Northern California). On a recent trip to Saint Paul we popped into DeGidio's and were welcomed by great service and some great Pasta before we made our way to a Twin's game. Cool spot would recommend for families or a date night. If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews) read more

Recently ate at DeGidio's for a midweek dinner with the girls! I loved the dark yet warmly lite atmosphere. Our waitress was very nice and gave us amble time to chat and make decisions. I was a little disappointed they didn't have any happy hour but I do get myself a mocktail that was flavorful and sweet! I ended up ordering the blackened shrimp alfredo! It was full of flavor and the noodles were perfect for holding the creamy sauce! Definitely will be back to try some more pastas. To make things easier, the restaurant does have a parking lot. read more

DeGidio's - Blackened Shrimp - Italian Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

No complaints! All around a good experience. Food and service were good and the drink service is excellent! We ordered a number of dishes and all three were good. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan alla Vodka which was the special that evening and it was decent. A bit of a spicy kick that I wasn't expecting but the portion was good and the chicken was cooked nicely. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was good. Decent portion and the Alfredo sauce was okay but was missing something. The best dish that we ordered was the Blackened Shrimp Alfredo. Same sauce as the chicken but the Blackened Shrimp adds extra flavor that sets this dish apart. For dessert we ordered the Spumoni. A very good bowl of ice cream with all of the flavors you expect from Spumoni. I have to mention that I really appreciate the dining room having a dedicated bar for drink service. Never a wait and the drinks are done very well. This restaurant can get busy. It does have a parking lot but don't be surprised if you have to park on a nearby street. read more

We were waiting for a table at another spot in the area and decided to grab drinks at the bar at DeGidios. We had a martini and an old fashioned, both of which were strong and well priced. The vibes are good, with dark mood lighting and old style booth seating in the lounge. We didn't get food, but everything coming out looked and smelled great, so we'll definitely be back to try it! Definitely recommend this place. read more

Came at peak time on a Wednesday to check it out - good news there's a parking lot (good for them it was packed!), and some street parking. First of, service was great! The server was super attentive and charismatic. I had the oldest old fashioned to drink which was chefs kiss. For dinner we started with the burrata caprise which was amazing, the included bread as well. For the entree I had the tortelloni bolognese which was absolutely packed with flavor. The sauce was perfect and the sausage had a slight spice that helped bring the dish together. My friend had the Fettuccine Alla Pesto with chicken that was also really good. Creamy, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned. This absolutely has been my favorite Italian night out in the cities! read more

I almost don't want to share how charming this romantic little restaurant is simply because I want to keep it a secret for me and my friends and family! Alas, I must share that service is spectacular! Seated right away and greeted quickly by Kaylee. She gave us her suggestions and shared the most popular dishes on the menu. It's located not too far from the MSP airport, but not too far from the heart of downtown St. Paul either. We've been here once before during a previous trip, but has now won us over as one of our favorites when visiting the cities! Thanks to Kaylee and the entire team for the delicious early dinner before we fly back to Atlanta, Georgia! We enjoyed it all! Stromboli for our appetizer, a Chopped Italian Salad, Spaghetti & Meatballs for our entrees, followed by the most delectable Tiramisu! read more

The restaurant offered excellent service and foos. The Pasta prepared table side was a fun experience.

It was good: my Pesto pasta was good the Cajun shrimp was delicious. The salad- eh. The pasta texture- was ok. Was expecting excellent based on the reviews. It was nice for a casual pasta dinner- not a fancy date night: read more

This is a St.Paul gem. While visiting Minnesota, did what yelp people do and searched for the best food. Yelp was spot on with the this gem. It gave a neighborhood vibe spot. I know if I lived here it would be in constant rotation. From entering to leaving the service was great. The food did not disappoint either. Their sauce is delicious. Very robust and flavorful. We started the meal with great appetizers, the meatballs, which one was more than enough for our table or three, stromboli and garlic cheese bread, anything to lather there sauce on. For our entries, the tortellini Bolognese was just amazing!!! I loved it. The other entries were chicken fettuccine Alfredo, the pasta was perfect. Then salmon diavola with huge Yukon potatoes. Everything, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Very reasonable prices. We took and Uber over, so I am not sure about the parking, but the area was on the busy side. read more

This place is just flat out cool. Before you swing by - make sure to check out the history behind the family and some of the old St. Paul gangster stories/ties. Generally MN isn't known for Italian food - but if there was one place I think of when it comes to a classic Italian vibe/menu it is DeGidios (or the place down the street - but it just doesn't have the same feel). My group all thought their orders were good. My dish - the Rigatoni with Porchetta meatballs was very tasty. The noodles were al dente and the meatballs had great flavor. As everyone who reads my reviews knows - I really love my spice - so sadly the "spicy" arrabbiata sauce really didn't pack much heat. If your family is Italian or likes Italian food - I'd call this a can't miss. read more

How did I not know about this place for SOOO long!?! I have missed out on too many years of good pasta and to have it so close to me over the years makes me sad but I will just have to make up for it ;) Located on West 7th in St Paul DeGidios has a great parking lot (important in this area) and is close...but not too close...to event centers like the XCel Center etc. Beautiful space for a romantic dinner or night out with family/friends. There is also a nice bar area as well. We started with the Caesar salad which was very tasty and then moved on to the Rigatoni alla Vodka and added sausage ( Fantastic!!) and the Tagliatelle Bolognese (tasty and perfectly prepared). The pastas were wonderfully Al Dente so we were thrilled! Give it a try if you are in the area! read more

We are here before a concert at the XCel center. It's a little past Cosetta's. We appreciated the restaurant parking lot and that they allow for reservations. Service was great, wine prices were reasonable, not an extreme mark up. Ambiance was nice. Good for date night and family gatherings. Not stuffy and formal. Now for the food. We ordered calamari, stuffed mushrooms, seafood pasta, burger, mostaccioli, and tagliatelle. Serving size was good. Not too little but definitely a large single portion or small double portion. Honestly our favorite was the burger! Thick patty, juicy. Pastas were honestly just ok. Definitely not fresh pasta. Overall, with exception of the burger, food was a 3/5. Service, drinks (we ordered the old fashioned), and the burger were 5/5. read more

I love this place. The bolognese is fantastic and the tortelloni is one of my favorites anywhere. Entrees come with this gorgeous sour dough, not pictured. It's a beautiful vintage restaurant on West 7th street surrounded a lot of great places to hang out after dinner, close to downtown. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because although I had a reservation, they seated at the booth closest to the doorway. I'm a middle aged woman and this happens to me frequently, I get the worst table in the place. Stop it. If it happens again I'll top remove another star read more

Terrific restaurant with a great history. They have it all, ambiance, wonderful food. Our server Molly was personable with great suggestions. The spicy sausage in a rose sauce was enjoyable. An array of gluten free options. We will be back. read more

The good- the ambiance was wonderful. Service was quick and cordial. The bad- we had the following food(five people) pizza fries our daughter liked them, lasagna (wife thought it was acidic tasting with no flavor, mostaccioli with meatballs (2 of us had meatballs that were rubbery, my noodles were over cooked), hot dago (it was hot, but meatballs were rubbery, sauce bland.) and bruschetta toasted but came out in under five minutes nothing good nothing bad about the bruschetta. Overall, the food was below average especially for $125. It was Mother's Day but not busy so not sure what happened. A lot of reviewers like this place unfortunately not us. read more

OMG is the food here delicious. I went with a former resident of St Paul who loves this restaurant and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I got the Dago and couldn't finish it though I strongly wanted to since it tasted so good. I will go again next time I am in town. read more

I picked up my meal after ordering off of the website(easy to do and gave me a time for pickup). Staff was pleasant and helpful( made sure I had extra parm and red pepper). Once home, my Caesar salad, was delicious( although a smidge overpriced for the portion I received). The dressing was perfect! I really enjoyed the mafaldine bolognese. They included seasoned butter and a slice of bread to finish off the meal. I recommend this restaurant as my meal was delicious. Look forward to eating here again when I'm in the area. read more

DeGidio's - Caesar salad, bread with seasoned butter and mafaldine Bolognese. - Italian Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

The shrimp and pasta were so delectably cooked. The pasta was soft yet firm enough to hold sauce, and the shrimp was cooked that they had just the right snap when taking a bite. The sauce was an alfredo with the acidity of the added cooked down cherry tomatoes giving a stark contrast to the richness of everything together. Service was also super great and attentive with food coming super quick after ordering. Only real caveat was wishing the bread for the table was warm or slightly toasted to allow the included garlic butter to melt in. The chicken parm was also delicious with a rather generous portion of chicken too. Overall, great stuff and pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the food. Highly recommend spot, 9/10 for me! read more

SPECIAL OCCASION/SPECIAL PLACE I've been going to DeGidio's w/my family my whole life, ever since I was little. So when I was looking for a special place to take my boyfriend for his birthday, I knew this was the perfect place (he'd never been there before). AMBIANCE They have remodeled since I'd been there last, and it looks absolutely beautiful; even the restrooms are decorated nicely. DRINKS It's not always easy to find well-made old fashioneds, but we decided to start off with a couple and try their's out; they did not disappoint, they were fabulous! FOOD He ordered lasagna and I ordered the shrimp pasta, which were both so incredibly good. Their red sauce is absolutely phenomenal and addicting! DESSERTS We ordered a couple desserts to end our night, and again, super good, you can't go wrong w/your choice! SERVICE Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive. We had a very wonderful experience and it was truly great to be back at one of the classic staples of St Paul. Highly recommend! read more

We looked at reviews for restaurants in the area and DeGidio's stood out, so we had to try it! We were seated immediately and although they were out of the beer I wanted, our waitress had another excellent recommendation that I loved. Our appetizer of Calamari came out lightning fast and was hot and super delicious. Both meals we ordered for dinner came out so fast it was awe-inspiring! They were hot, fresh and delicious with very generous portions! If you're looking to get full, order the Chicken Parmesan and you won't leave hungry! I was so impressed with the efficiency and quality of this restaurant, I'd go back in an absolute heartbeat, CHECK THEM OUT! read more

Think a step above Olive Garden but on par with Buca di Beppo. I wasn't blown away, but the food we ate was good. Our server was very attentive, and the food came out fast - but almost to a fault. We sat down and ordered our drinks and calamari to start. With the food coming out so fast, we felt a little rushed. The complimentary bread and butter was soooo delicious and they gave us more upon request.

I was very pleased with this restaurant overall. The service was great, food came out in a very timely manner, and best of all it tasted great. Did I forget to mention the portion sizes......nope. Most people won't leave hungry. I'm a mid-40's overweight guy who couldn't finish my chicken parm. Secret, get a side of alfredo sauce with the chicken parm. A local gave me that tip. I loved the atmosphere as well. I'm happy we had a chance to stop in and would happily return. read more

Decided to eat here with friends while visiting from out of town. Pulled in the parking lot and it was packed, good sign. Unfortunately they couldn't seat us for a long while so we sat at the bar.
