    Second time here and service was very good- did not tell us that a large group had a tip so a few people double tipped. But service was good, food was good. Wish they had a mushroom pasta.

    Spinach bacon dip
    Darren L.

    Absolutely delicious food, great service, and comfortable/casual atmosphere that is just the right amount of elegant so that you feel like you're having a nice dinner out, but not at all out of place. (Maybe that's a me thing-- but you know what I mean?) We weren't celebrating anything special but wanted a nice dinner date out, and this place checked all the boxes. The menu has options for everyone: pizza or pasta lovers, meat or vegetarian, etc. We got a few shareable apps to split (fried Brie and the spinach bacon dip), a bottle of wine, and each own entree (penne alla vodka with chicken for me). Really good sized portions and so we ended up taking some home! Perfect leftovers.

    Manicotti in vodka sauce with meatballs

    I had the manicotti which was probably the best I've had in a long time, if not ever. The vodka sauce was a bit runnier than I would normally expect, but ended up being fantastic. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the ricotta filling was delicious. The meatballs were good, but I wouldn't say amazing. For $22 though, I would have thought they would have included some sort of bread -- nope. Just a dish of manicotti in vodka sauce, that's it. A bit of a disappointment there. Initially, the service was very good. I was seated right away and water was brought out quickly. The server (young, thin guy with a mustache) came to my table straight away to take my drink order, and was back in a couple of minutes with that. My food was also brought out quickly. After that, my server only checked on me once, maybe 15 minutes in. He must have walked by at least a dozen times in a half hour, but never stopped at my table except the one time. Also, they automatically add a 3% surcharge for credit card payments, which they note on the menu. That should just be the part of the cost of doing business, but whatever. At least they didn't sneak it in like some restaurants do. All things considered, this experience would be somewhere between a 3.5 to 4 stars. I would go back.

    We stopped by EaTo in Minneapolis while waiting for a rush passport nearby, hoping to grab a quick bite and pass the time. When we arrived around 2 p.m.The restaurant was very quiet, with only a couple of other diners. We were seated right away by the hostess, which was appreciated. Our server, Jessie, greeted us promptly and was attentive throughout our visit. After a quick look at the menu, we chose the lunch special.A chicken pesto sandwich on focaccia with a side of wild rice soup. Overall, the food was just okay. The sandwich didn't quite come together for me.The tomato jam didn't pair well with the pesto and chicken. The wild rice soup was also unexpected, as it had a tomato base rather than the creamier style I'm used to. Portions, especially for the sandwich, felt a bit small. That said, Jessie provided great service and he recommended coming back to try the vodka pasta with chicken. Thanks to the friendly and attentive service, we're open to giving EaTo another try in the future.

    EaTo you was just ok. It's a great location, but the inside has a great vibe and the bar windows open up to the patio. Great during warm months. Service was fine, nothing spectacular and the food was just ok. The BBQ pizza which is a specialty on the menu, lacked flavor, although the chicken was nice and moist. The bolognese was also just ok, fairly spicy which is noted on the menu but it blocked the flavors. EaTo is fine but wouldn't run back.

    eatO delivers everything you want from a great Italian restaurant. The pasta is perfectly cooked al dente, the sauces are rich and flavorful without being heavy, and the pizza has that ideal balance of crispy crust and melty cheese. Every dish tastes fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully prepared. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and inviting--perfect for a relaxed dinner or a night out with friends. If you're craving quality Italian food that feels both comforting and elevated, eatOn absolutely delivers.

    Penne alla Vodka
    Rachel H.

    EaTo is a classic Italian restaurant, it has an eclectic vibe that is casual but dim lighting so also more elevated than a chain. Service was great, everyone is nice. The important part though, the food, love it. The vodka pasta has a little kick but not too crazy, I wish it was a bit creamier but overall great. The grilled chicken is grilled with rosemary which adds a great touch. The chicken parm was very good, a white sauce on the noodles and red sauce with the chicken. We get takeout from here frequently but eating here the food was obviously much better but even takeout it is still delicious!

    Arancini
    Norma L.

    It been a long day conference and I saw this out the window on my drive to getting a massage. So I figured I'd stop in afterwards as I was craving some Italian food and they had pappardelle on the menu. It was semi-busy but a got seated right way. Service was great. fast and friendly. I was a bit ravished so i ordered an appetizer as well at my main course. I option for the arancini and for the main course pappardelle with bolognese. The arancini came with marinara sauce and it was not overly fried and the rice and cheese was a lovely ratio, sometime the aracini can be either to ricy or too cheeses and heavily breaded, The bolognese came out nice and hot and a good amount that I took leftovers home. I also treated myself to glass of red wine and a grapefruit san pelligrino. The alcohol needed to go on a separate tab as company was paying for the dinner, but the server had no issues. She was excellent. Nice little spot and must try if you find yourself hankering for italian food in Minnesota.

    EaTo was our first meal after arriving in town & we chose it based on other reviews. The decorations/vibe is cute and comfortable. The staff were friendly and relaxed. We tried the cheese pizza puffs, the featured pizza and Muffaletta sandwich. All were out quickly, hot and tasty.

    Chicken Wild Rice Soup
    Tammie W.

    We swung by for lunch on a beautiful and unseasonably warm October afternoon after spending a few hours at the Mill Museum. I ordered a cup of the chicken wild rice soup which was good and tomato forward which through me off at first. The pieces of shredded chicken, vegetables, and rice were lovely. I paired it with a side of the pasta salad that fell flat for me. The pasta was overcooked, lacked salt, and was quite dry. The vegetables tried to play a part but wound up a soggy mess. Our server was super friendly, the interior was spacious, and I loved the mustard yellow chairs inside. They were very comfortable and helped us relax and take our time with lunch.

    Sausage happy hour pizza
    Jeremy S.

    I've eaten at Eato many times and their happy hour continues to be a great place for some pre-dinner. This time around I had the dry rub wings for round one, they had some slight heat, which could use a bit more. Round two was the sausage pizza, most excellent! For the cocktail I had the Eato Old Fashioned, not sure what's going on, but it used to be better. Either way, great service, very attentive to my needs.

    Stopped by for drinks and had a great time! Our waitress was awesome, super attentive and friendly. I tried their floral spritz and loveeedddd it. I know a drink will be good when it comes with the nugget ice cubes mwah! The inside of EaTo is so gorgeous and their patio is even better. Unfortunately it was too smokey to sit outside but hopefully I can come back and sit there soon!

    Happy hour

    My girlfriend has been hyping up Eato for months, and I finally caved. We went for dinner and let me just say... I owe her an apology for doubting her. I got the chicken parmesan (her fave), and after the first bite I understood the hype. The portion was massive, which was easily enough for two people. But to be honest with you, it was so good I wasn't about to share. Service was on point, and I loved that they've got a little Italian "market"/liquor store inside. Super unique touch. We hit happy hour, and honestly half the menu had me planning for my next visit. Bottom line: if you're craving Italian in Minneapolis, definitely stop by Eato. Just don't plan on splitting the chicken parm unless you're ready to fight over it.

    While staying at the Royal Sonesta hotel for a conference, I dined at the Wood + Paddle Eatery two…read moretimes during my stay. Wood + Paddle is located inside of the Royal, it's their hotel restaurant. On my first night in Minneapolis, I'd arrived to the hotel for check-in around dinner time. Not sure where to go and tired from the flight, I headed down to the lobby and walked over. When I asked if I could get a table for 1, she asked me if I would be comfortable with eating at the bar. It was a Sunday night, so I think she wanted to reserve tables for parties of two or more. I was fine with it, but I noticed there were quite a few empty tables. A few days later, I had lunch with a colleague here. We got seated at a table, and the service was really good. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we kept our lunch within our time requirements so we could get back to the conference without issue. The food was really good. I tried to order or sample local or MN specialties during my trip. Below are the menu items that I tried: - Bison Burger with Fries - State Fair Cheese Curds (w/ house made, smoked ketchup) - Pork Chop (w/ a Norwegian inspired sauce) - Habanero Wings

    Food came out fairly quick after ordering, but it wasn't too busy during 5:30-6pm on a weekday…read more You can customize the fries and how well the patty is done. Bison burger patty had a charred taste. The garlic dry rub wings have a good salt and dryness to them. The flourless chocolate torte is a satisfying dessert. Rich, creamy, tangy, and indulgent. I feel like they are missing out on a happy hour menu.

    A couple weeks ago, I was at the Government Center around lunch time, and was excited to be able to…read moretry some food trucks! However, I realized that it was early November, and some of the usual players were done for the season. As I was about to admit defeat and grab something from Panera, I see Scratch Food Truck and I was saved :) They have a nice selection of sandwiches; I was heavily debating between the pork & shrimp patty, the sesame beef, and the fried chicken. The jalapeno slaw on the fried chicken sandwich won me over in the end, though. The fried chicken sandwich comes on a long bun, and is absolutely delicious. The slaw is spicy and tangy, and paired with the crisp fried chicken and mayonnaise, it makes for a very excellent sandwich. They make their own chips here, too, and you get a very generous portion with your sandwich. I'll definitely be coming back here.

    Tried Scratch out for lunch and LOVED it! Great addition to the Food Truck industry in Minneapolis!…read moreThe chef incorporates an asian taste to his food. There's a selection of sandwiches and wraps. I went there yesterday and they had rolls on the menu! Two of us ordered the Pork/Shrimp sandwich, and another the sesame beef. The sandwiches are definitely large in size, perfect for any large appetite. Comes with tasty fried chips....not sure what the oil used was but very tasty! Everything is made to order, but still a quick turnaround! The pork/shrimp sandwich came with (what I believe) a tasty mango-type slaw and 'mystery' sauce that really created a 'light' asian taste to it. Not heavy at all, regardless of the size of the sandwich! All of us enjoyed our lunch and plan on coming back for more!
