I loved the prosciutto topped with Gorgonzola and fig - it's the best combination. Ian was our server he was awesome, thankfully we were able to get a table today, the last time we went on a whim they were slammed so I highly recommend you make reservations.

The place is very cool and feels way more intimate than it was as Prairie Bay. The bar on the left is fun and small enough to be buzzing on weekdays. We had a group of 6 and ordered several apps and drinks and dinner. For apps we tried the Bruschetta (nice and crisp and fresh), the Meatballs (good texture but lacking in seasoning), and the Artichoke Dip (tasty dip and crispy ravioli should be the thing to dip in everything.). I had the Short Rib (very good meat, the potatoes and veggies needed way more seasoning and some fat on them, they were too dry). I tasted the Chicken Marsala (Very juicy and tasty version of this), the Seafood Manicotti (nice, fairly light sauce on perfectly cooked manicotti), the Bolognese (pretty good sauce that lacked a little depth of flavor), and the Short Rib Rigatoni (the same good short rib on al dense pasta with a goat cheese and pea sauce which sounds weird but worked well). The server was new and struggled a bit managing orders and the timing of courses (some apps came out with entrees.) Overall a good start, I see them fixing things and getting better, and the atmosphere is really fun, so that's a huge plus.

I was really in the mood for the chicken cacciatore but this location doesn't have it on the menu, but as a second option, they have Italian egg rolls, which is stuffed with chicken cacciatore and it satisfied my craving. The chicken marsala has a nice sauce/gravy but it is extra sweet compared to other marsala's I've had. The gnocchi was really good, love those little gut bombs and the red sauce was excellent. Gotta love the drink prices in northern Minnesota. The service was great as we sat at the bar and the bartender was delightful and entertaining - she told us a good story about how she ended up in a walking boot. This location is very busy, a reservation is recommended, especially for a Saturday night.

Before I could say anything she slammed the window and walked away! When we got home I noticed the order was not correct as the pizza was missing the sausage. I attempted to call and asked for the manager and was told that the manager quit! I then was told there would be be a manager on Wednesday...after she hung up on me while I started to explain the issue I had enough and emailed corporate Pizza Hut.

Cheese and raisin ravioli or chicken? If you know, you know. This is a Cumberland staple since I…read morewas a very young child. The Italian culture shines through as you can order just about any type of pasta here but the staple items tend to be ravioli and cavatille. The sausage is 100% made in house but many believe it comes from Louie's Meats, which is not true. Normally, I'd get a meatball with my pasta but not here. Sausage all the time! Many of the meals are served with a side salad and a basket of breadsticks for the entire table. Recently under new ownership, there has been a slight uptick in menu options and Bona Casa now carries pesto sauce (which previously never existed) along with a facelift of decor. The staff here works extremely hard for their customers. If you're in the area, swing by! They still have their frozen options, take outs and classic pizzelles.

Unfortunately, the food was some of the most disappointing Italian we've had, especially for the price. The "truffle fries" were basically lukewarm shoestring fries, the pesto linguine and alfredo both came with spaghetti noodles instead of the pasta advertised, and the burrata bruschetta arrived in a plastic container loaded with onions with rock hard bread on the side. The arancini was extremely mushy, the fresh house bread was hard enough to knock on a table, and overall the presentation felt more like takeout from a former fast casual spot than an Italian restaurant charging over $100 for dinner. Oddly enough, the only thing our family mildly enjoyed were the kids' butter noodles. Really wanted to like this place, but sadly we wouldn't return.

However, I've been there a couple times since my aborted review, and they've earned the extra star. The pizza is good, just a little heavy on the cheese for my tastes. One of the sizes comes out in an odd oval shape that fits the platter on which it is served. Odd but cool. More recently, a group of us stopped in for fish fry and whatever else was on the menu. Our waitress actually ran to get a cinnamon shaker from the kitchen to please one of the more finicky eaters in our group. The service has always been excellent. I had the fish fry and salad that night, and both were very good. If you are looking for some Italian dishes, pizza, or fish, you can't go wrong here.
