I'm in town visiting for a conference and this was my first time walking the streets of Minneapolis. My friend recommended me the Red Rabbit and this place is a vibe. It's always busy, so this was the place to be! We had a lovely waiter and the food was excellent! I loved my chicken Alfredo with chicken and would totally come back in the future to order it again. We had a great experience and would totally recommend coming here! read more

Red Rabbit Minneapolis - Fettucine Alfredo with chicken - Italian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

On the fourth day of my first visit to Minneapolis, my buddy JJ and I embraced Minnesota Nice mantra and invited Matthieu, a newfound bar friend, to a Twins game. We all slept through first pitch, but that didn't stop us from ordering combo platters of shots and beers. Three hours of baseball and day-drinking can take a toll on a man, so Matthieu proposed an after-party at his favorite eatery, Red Rabbit. The hostess seemed surprised when three guys in full baseball regalia requested a lunch table, but she welcomed us and honored our request to sit far from any families or members of the clergy. Matthieu came out swinging suggesting a hard-to-find AleSmith Nut Brown Ale. He paired it with the Burrata Grilled Toast, topped with micro basil, pesto, and roasted tomatoes. The toast inspired such devotion that we divided the final piece into thirds like diplomats negotiating a peace treaty. Some Minneapolitan-Neapolitan cultural exchange was clearly at work in the Garlic Bread Cheese Curds. This layered appetizer starts crunchy, turns puffy, and finishes with the curds' satisfying squeak. It needed marinara about as much as Joe Mauer needed Justin Morneau, but the sauce still improved the experience. Before you alert the pizza police, PB&J Pizza stands for pineapple, bacon, and jalapeño. This Hawaiian-adjacent combination hits close to home because it mirrors my preferred PP&J: pineapple, pepperoni, and jalapeño. I may have to add it as a favorite in the Papa John's app. The Vodka Rigatoni with Meatballs arrived creamy and light on the Calabrian chili. I would have added Italian sausage for more punch. Still, JJ had only recently graduated from tri-color Bomb Pops to gelato, so the milder approach probably suited him. He cleared his plate, which settled the argument. Then things started to slide. Our server, whose identity I'll protect, was mostly professional and attentive but sometimes appeared overwhelmed. Trouble began with the Cheese & Salami Board. When he tried to upsell me to the large, I naturally asked which cheeses and salamis it included. "Um... salami from Italy, cheese, nuts, olives, and chocolate," he replied. I skipped the CliffsNotes and moved on. I wasn't spending nearly $40 on mystery salami, bar nuts, and another serving of burrata. Every dish up to that point had cleared the fence, so we expected another home run from the Chicken Parmesan. Unfortunately, it arrived soggy, as though someone had forgotten it under the broiler. Only the edges that escaped the cheese and sauce remained crispy. While my buddies mauled the accompanying Bucatini Alfredo, I ordered a Gluek's gluten-free Cream Ale. The first sip made me wince. JJ, who has watched me enjoy tablespoon-sized bumps of Sevruga caviar, immediately noticed. He took a sip and responded with a tongue-scraping motion. Not one to be left out, Matthieu sampled it and reported, "I see where all the discontinued pennies went: into making this beer." I flagged our server, who carried the beer to the bartender, who sniffed it, inspected its color, then poured a comparison taste of Metal High Life from the draft. He declared the Gluek palatable, and sent the verdict back through our server. I didn't care if the President of the American Brewers Guild had personally pinned a gold medal on it. The beer tasted like a fistful of loose change, and no diner should need expert testimony to prove that. Seeking a palate cleanser, we ordered the Spritz Tree, or flight, featuring Campari, Hugo, Midnight, Watermelon, and Tequi... "THAT'S FIVE!" the server snapped. We responded with three raised eyebrows. Fine. The deal included four spritzes for $50, not five for $40. Maybe I had developed late-onset dyslexia. Maybe the $2 Twins Pils from earlier had finally entered the lineup. After that frosty exchange, our server kept circling the table to ask whether we needed anything else. You couldn't have fit a toothpick among the plates and pours, so I interpreted the check-ins as a not-so-subtle suggestion that we continue our Minneapolis mayhem elsewhere. Waiter fatigue aside, Red Rabbit delivers playful food, inventive cocktails, and enough Twin Cities character to warrant a return visit. We left without conquering as much of the menu as I had hoped, but that gives me a solid reason to come back. read more

I know these are popular but honestly I've just never felt the love with either the Red Rabbit or Red Cow locations. Really it's not that they're bad or anything, they're just not that great in my opinion and I'd rather go somewhere else for the money. I've had both bad and good service with them: once my group was completely ignored by our waitress and never checked in on again so we had to get our tab from the bartender, other times the staff has been completely happy and helpful. The food is pretty mediocre especially for the price. Again not that it's bad but I see them as a step up from the chain places like Chilis and Applebees. Their ingredients are way fresher and you can tell that they have decent chefs but it's still just lacking something, to me there isn't much of a "wow" factor. This location does have a patio which is great and the lighting and ambiance is has always been great. No complaints there. Honestly I really want to like this restaurant, it's just never really hit the way I want it to...... read more

Went here for a late lunch and sat at the bar. My husband got a pizza and I got the Grinder sandwich. He said the pizza was but it looked very greasy as was my sandwich. The sandwich was good, the pickled onions made it. My bread was soggy from the grease which was a bummer. read more

Amazing pasta! Everything on the menu is delicious and you must try the toffee cake for dessert. The ambience is great, nice but not too fancy. A good place to eat anytime you're in the mood for pasta. Service is wonderful and the staff is super friendly and helpful. read more

One of my favorite spots for brunch in the city for any occasion! We had friends in from out of town and brought them here for brunch before a Twins game and they loved it! The service is always great and they have been so creative with fun drinks and menu items like mimosa and espresso martini towers and girl dinners. They have ample indoor, bar and patio seating for whatever your heart is feeling. We always always always get a breakfast pizza for the table. This is a MUST. I do miss that they don't give out an appetizer mini donut to start but glad to see they remained on the menu. I ordered a mimosa tower to share and some friends had coffees and a the screw up which were l tasty. The towers are so cute and fun. Some items we ordered and loved were the Florentine omelette (the fontina hash browns were the star), the wood fired pancake (wow one of best I've had), and the piadina which was the perfect amount of spice. Always a staple spot and never misses! read more

I've come to Minneapolis a few times for work now and Red Rabbit has been a place that I have to stop by at least once. There's a cozy, friendly environment and they have excellent food and drinks. During my latest visit to Minneapolis (June 2026), I arrived late on a Sunday night and stopped by, and was pleasantly surprised by their Girl Menu - $20 for a small caesar salad, rosemary fries, vodka pasta and a hugo spritz. Honestly, a fantastic deal to me! I did supplement with some fried cheese curds, although those ended up tasting too heavy/oily for my personal taste. I've enjoyed their other appetizers and pizzas with coworkers, but what I've come to love (and hate because I may have had one too many) are their House Martini - I love the presentation and the way you can spritz a bit more of whatever is in that spray bottle (I was told, but I can't remember exactly what it was- possibly just the vermouth for whatever amount you want?). There's even an extra bit they keep in a small carafe to top yourself off when you're done with the drink in your coupe! Absolutely favorite martini in recent memory. I think I will be scheduled to visit again next year and will definitely stop by again! read more

I'm picky, and so I can't give Red Rabbit five stars, but I liked it. My wife and I were scouting our new neighborhood before we move, and chose Red Rabbit for lunch. Interestingly, it's one block east of what has been our North Loop border, which has been 3rd Avenue. Why we placed an iron curtain on 3rd Avenue is beyond me. The bar was pleasant and fun on a weekday afternoon. My Espresso Martini was good, and the beer selection will make most people happy. I thought my Caesar salad was great; the taste came through without any need to deconstruct that many restaurants feel inclined to do. Our grinders were good, but there was too much stuff on them to call the sandwich a New England grinder; the name is more marketing than reality. Our server/bartender, Aiden, was engaging and fun. He's the kind of server every restaurant should have. We will return to Red Rabbit when we move to the North Loop in August. I can't wait. read more

Every now and then I take myself out for a little shopping, thrifting, eating, and drinking on a random weekday in the middle of the month. After a full day of thrifting, I decided it was time for dinner, and after passing this place for years, I finally decided to stop in. I was seated at a charming table for two. The interior had the vibe of a historic building, with brick, vaulted ceilings, and large windows. I ordered the Amatriciana from that day's specials menu along with the chocolate cherry martini. Typically I don't like sweet drinks, but this was fantastically balanced. As sweet as it was, it packed an equal punch. It felt decadent and sinfully delicious. The pasta itself was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was well made, with bits of fatty, crispy pork adding a rich, well-developed flavor. I parked on one of the downtown streets and walked about a block to the restaurant. read more

Red Rabbit brunch is 10/10 every single time! The mimosa flight is cute and fun to split with a group, or all for yourself, whatever you choose ;) You have to order the breakfast pizza otherwise you're doing it wrong. I am not typically an omelette girly but I ordered the florentine omelette and omg it was soooo good, especially with the hashbrowns. My friends had the piadina which also looked incredible. read more

Red Rabbit just doesn't miss! Me and my girl friends went for their $20 "girl dinner" and were so glad we checked it out! The girl dinner - on Sundays-Thursdays only after 8pm - consisted of a mini Caesar salad, vodka pasta, rosemary fries, and a Hugo spritz. Delish! The portions were about what you'd expect for a deal like this so you know we had to top it off with some dessert. The sticky toffee cake and tiramisu were group favorites! As always, the food is fantastic and the service was good. Parking is about what you'd expect in downtown Minneapolis (paid street or paid lots) but they do have a small parking lot in the back and if you're lucky you may get a spot. read more

Love the vibes here. Super romantic and sultry with how dark it is. Perfect for date night. It is loud and you are sat real close to other tables but it was still a great time. My friends and I did the girl dinner here and it was so good! We all thought it was the perfect amount of food, we loved that it's a set menu so we didn't have to make any decisions! Pasta, salad, fries and a drink for $20?! In Minneapolis! Great deal! Love that they have sparkling water as an option for no extra charge. We celebrated a birthday here too that night and appreciated the candle from the server. I really hate going to Minneapolis and paying for parking but it was worth it for this night! We just found some street metered parking. Such a fun time! Check it out if you are in the area. read more

Red Rabbit Minneapolis - Girl Dinner - Italian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Quick date night at Red Rabbit in downtown Minneapolis! We were lucky enough to snag a canceled reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival, despite the restaurant being bustling and busy. I wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor patio as the dining room was a bit loud and dim, but that seems to be part of the restaurant's modern rustic Italian aesthetic. As for the food and service, everything was top-notch. Our order was taken promptly and both our drinks and dishes arrived quickly without feeling rushed. I ordered the spirit-free Lavender Revolution, which leaned a little sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The burrata was outstanding--light, refreshing, and incredible on the toasted bread. The calamari was equally impressive -- perfectly seasoned, crispy, and tender with every bite. For our entrée, we shared the Vodka Rigatoni with added shrimp and it was absolutely delicious--rich, fresh, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Overall Red Rabbit delivered a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. We can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu! read more

My wife and I went to the Red Rabbit our first night in Minneapolis for dinner. We arrived around 8PM on a Saturday night. We were promptly seated. Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive. My wife had a salad with chicken and I had the vodka rigatoni with chicken. We both enjoyed our meals. The lack of stars on my end is portion size. The vibe and service were both very good. No bread with my meal and looking at my picture, do you feel that's worth $23.00? I enjoyed my meal but I'd take a gander elsewhere. Definitely a trendy restaurant. read more

Outside, mothers day, great wait staff, great food and surrounded by flowing plants. Could it get any better? Yes, because the food is amazing with great variety and flavors. The selection of drinks and wine is very good, and not obnoxiously priced. The beer selection, honestly, kind of stinks. Hopefully they'll look local and update the selections of beers. Hit them with one less star over the beer - might be harsh but some of us enjoy beer. Highly recommend, seating outside was fantastic. Enjoy it's worth it. read more

Red Rabbit is a great choice if you are looking for a solid meal in Minneapolis. For brunch I love their shrimp and grits (they changed it a little this summer so it's called something different, but it's still good). My son loves their waffle sticks (I think they are really good too). They have a breakfast old-fashioned that they pour out of a syrup dish and it comes with a french toast stick. For lunch or dinner there are a lot of really good options. I love the focaccia, garlic cheese bread curds, the meatballs, and the wings. I also love the rigatoni, carrots, and crispy potatoes. They have great drinks as well! It can get busy for both brunch and dinner, so be prepared to wait (there are a few cute spots in walking distance that you can grab a drink at while waiting). It's a pretty big restaurant with a nice bar area. In the warmer months they have a nice back patio area. read more

Searched for a unique non-buffet spot for Sunday brunch and Red Rabbit checked all the boxes. We had a leisurely brunch trying many spritzes and recommended (and even one totally free!) brunch cocktails. The food was great, we had amazingly fresh shrimp and grits (and having just come from SC, we've tried a lot) and an Italian inspired florentine omelette with fresh herbs and cheese. We even got a kids pizza to give it a try and would for sure get a full sized in the future. Great service all around from the bartenders, the hosts, seemingly managers, and our server herself. It was a bit toasty so we sat inside by the bar but the covered patio looked really loved on a cooler day. read more

I've been here several times and the food and service are consistently great! You have to get their garlic bread cheese curds!! My other favorites are the cavatelli and spicy salami pizza. They have great happy hour deals! Whether I go alone or with a group of 6, I've always had a good experience. Notes - they are walk in only. Parking is limited in the area but there is street parking and some lots nearby. read more

This restaurant lives up to the hype! I came as a solo diner on a Saturday night, and sat at a table by the bar area. The waitress was very helpful with picking dishes and a drink, and the dessert she recommended was phenomenal. I had the pepperoncini martini (extra brine) sausage pasta, Italian salad, and sticky toffee cake. Everything was amazing, and I can't wait to take everyone I know back to sample that dessert! Very excited to come back with family to try more dishes - seems like it would be more family friendly on a weekday or earlier in the evening! read more

Red Rabbit is a spot where I always get my favorites and don't stray because why try and fix something that ain't broke!? Their cavatelli is ALWAYS my go to for dinner - it's saucy, savory, and so so yummy every time. For dessert the sticky toffee pudding is the best I've found in the cities! Rich and moist, with the whipped cream on top that balances it out because it's not too sweet. Service is always great here as well! This is a great place to go with your family, for a date, OR if you want to sit at the bar and have a drink and a meal. Parking can be tough in Minneapolis but there is street parking available. read more

Came here for "girl dinner" - a $20 special that includes a Hugo spritz (perfectly sweet and refreshing), Cesar salad, truffle fries, and vodka rigatoni! The truffle fries were delicious, especially with the Parmesan dip that we asked for on the side.

Sticky toffee cake was our top pick, panna cotta was okay. Parking is always a bit of a challenge in north loop which is my only complaint, but overall a nice spot with great service and delicious eats! read more

The first time I came here the service was amazing. The staff were quick and attentive. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and it was a 10/10! The portion size is more than enough. Highly recommend everyone to try it. We came back again another day when it wasn't busy and this server took a long time to come over.

Wow, wow, WOW! I was super impressed with Red Rabbit, the only disappointing thing about dining here was that I haven't eaten here sooner! First of all, service here is top notch. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was the perfect amount of attentive without being overbearing. But besides that, she did a great job recommending things to us. The manager also came over and we had a nice conversation with her; she helped me figure out what I should order with my dairy issues. Red Rabbit is one of the best service experiences we have had in the Twin Cities, hands down. The food was amazing too. I got the marinera pizza and the cauliflower, both "plant based" (vegan, including dairy-free). I found out after ordering that if your issue is simply dairy, you can also order the vegan bolognese and then substitute pork sausage for the vegan sausage; I will definitely do that next time. But both the pizza and the cauliflower were excellent, the pizza was perfectly crisp and a bit spicy, and the cauliflower was delicious. For drinks, we each had a version of an aperol spritz (being a 'Roman" restaurant, they of course have a ton of "spritz" drinks, including a flight). I also had an old fashioned, which was the only thing I consumed that evening that I didn't really care for (I would get it with a different bourbon; their whiskey was too earthy for me). All in all, this place is a hit, even if you are vegan/dairy-free, one of my new favorite italian restaurants! read more

Red Rabbit must be a staple in the Minneapolis area because it was packed and the entrance was overcrowded with patrons with for seating. We were able to be immediately seated prior to the rush, which was around 5pm-ish. There is indoor and outdoor seating as well as seating at the bar. Great for groups. The restaurant is pretty big. I'm not an Italian cuisine fan but the food was pretty good. Get the oysters (pictured). I had the salmon piccata. Delicious. My mother had the chicken parm and she liked it as well.

We ate here with a vegan friend and it was the first time I've ever actually eaten in the restaurant, though I've ordered delivery a few times. The restaurant itself was nice and welcoming. It is pretty dark, and all of our old eyes were having trouble seeing the menu. But it's got ambiance at least. I do find it odd that they do not take dinner reservations here - just brunch and lunch. So it's first come first served when you come for dinner. Fortunately, they were able to seat us immediately so all good. My husband got the limon mocktail, which he said was good. My whiskey ginger was good. We ordered the garlic cheese curds which came to the table piping hot and really really yummy. We also got a half dozen oysters, which were fine, presented well with a trio of sauces. I'd give them a 8/10 for the shucking but they were still totally edible and great. Bonus points to our waiter for knowing exactly what types of oysters he had available. For dinner, I got the bolognase, my friend got the vegan bolognase, and my husband got a pizza. The pizza was reportedly good - it looked good. My friend ate almost her entire plate, so hers must have been good. Unfortunately, my pasta was overcooked and a bit gummy, and my dish overall was lukewarm. I think it must have been the first one done and sat on the line in the kitchen for awhile. I only ate half of it and honestly am not excited about the leftovers. It's weird because I've ordered that exact same dish for delivery and been absolutely pleased with it. So hopefully it was a one off. We skipped dessert. read more
