after a long and incredible day of dress shopping around mpls... we officially found the one at @thewhiteroommpls to make the day even better, we ended it at @redrabbitmn with my girls. they fit us in right before the holiday rush and my soon-to-be MIL treated us to such a delicious meal. the espresso martini (per usual) was unforgettable, and the service was even better. the manager overheard my moms chatting in the bathroom and surprised us with celebratory champagne to close out the night. such a thoughtful gesture and something I'll never forget. red rabbit already had my heart, but now it's tied to one of my favorite lifelong memories. 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. We had to ask someone to get our server and it still took a bit after that. The ravioli was good though. Overall, the service was good, the vibe is casual, and the butternut squash ravioli is a must try read more

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

I absolutely loved red rabbit!!! as long as I've lived in Minneapolis, this has been my first time there. I went with a group for a friend's birthday, and the service was absolutely incredible, the server laughed with us made jokes, and made it so easy to be there as a group. It was a perfect setting, where it was not too loud, and I loved the interior decoration and vibe of the place! The food was so incredible and I can't wait to go there again! I couldn't choose between the pesto or vodka pasta so my friend and I split both of them and they split it for us on different plates which was so nice! Can't wait for the next visit!! read more

Great food at this spot, we truly enjoyed the meal. The pasta was perfectly el dente, and the pizza was tasty as well. The service was decent, somewhat attentive and refilled our drinks in a timely manner. There are plenty of seats in there, but make sure to get a reservation as they fill up fast. It was really loud in there, that was my only complaint. Otherwise it was a great experience! read more

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

The service and food was quite good. We started with the burrata and I got the panzanella salad and crispy potatoes for dinner. I know odd, but I wasn't feeing like a meal. I was quite happy with my picks! Co worker got linguini and clams and enjoyed! 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. The kids spaghetti was an ample size, which I appreciative. read more

Yum! We recently saw an instagram reel showcasing Red Rabbit's brunch and knew we had to give it a try! We made reservations ahead of time but I think if you get there right at 10 when they open for brunch you would be able to get a table. It was getting busy when we left around 11. The ambiance of the restaurant was really cool. They had lots of cocktails, wines, and n/an options to choose from. We didn't order any beverages but the food absolutely blew us away! My fiancé said it may have been top 10 best things he's ever eaten! He had the piadia which is more of a breakfast burrito. I had the French toast, which was so rich and amazing! We also split the fontina hash which had this crispy outer shell and was warm and flavorful in the middle! We will 100% be back! read more

I've been a fan of red rabbit in the past, and decided to do take out instead of dining in for the first time. I showed up early from the time they said it would be done. They said it wasn't ready and it was and just sitting there the whole time, Not great front of house service unfortunately. It was ice cold so it must have been sitting there for a while.. not the best experience this time specially for the price. read more

We were staying at the Four Seasons when we saw this local restaurant and decided to give it a try. The people were friendly, and the place was clean and well-organized.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and a place we would visit again. read more

Came here with some friends on an early Sunday afternoon. They had brunch as well as offering the full menu. We were sat in the bar area, they also have a nice patio as well as a regular dining room. I ordered nitro cold brew, my friend got a cute chocolate cherry drink. For food I got the pickle pizza w/out the meat (pork), my friends got pasta, one got the salmon pasta and it was really good. My friend was going to order tiramisu to go but I guess they build it at the table so she skipped it. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall I'd come back to check out more pasta's and offerings. read more

Red Rabbit is easily one of my go-to happy hour spots in Minneapolis. Great vibe, great prices, and the food always hits. I got the wings, cheese curds, and split some oysters, all were super flavorful and surprisingly filling. Paired it with an Indeed Mexican Honey Lager (which in my opinion pair perfectly with the wings). Service is usually solid here, but when I went with a group of 6 (all ordering off the happy hour menu), it took about an hour to get our food, which was a bit of a letdown. Hoping that was just a one-off, because I've had way better experiences in the past. Overall, still a spot I'd recommend for an after-work hangout, pregaming a Twins game, or even a casual date. read more

My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday night around 8:30 PM, although the restaurant was busy, we were still able to be seated right away. Though our server was very nice, service itself was a bit slow. We got our appetizer right away but drinks and food took a long time. For our appetizer, we got garlic bread cheese curds which were good. They give you a lot for one portion. For my main, I got the Spaghetti and Meatballs. The meatballs were tasty (but there weren't that many). The spaghetti was nice, but it could have been just a bit more al dente. The sauce itself was pretty basic and a bit boring. My friend got a pizza which was great. I thought it was better than the spaghetti and meatballs. All in all, a nice restaurant option but with some items that shone more than others. read more

We dined here on Sunday, August 31st, party of two, with an arrival at about 8:45pm. We had an excellent experience, and honestly -- this was probably our restaurant highlight of our trip to MSP. Red Rabbit is located in a very vibrant area of downtown, even on a holiday weekend, where Downtown is not the busiest of areas, this place seemed to be doing pretty well. We had a wonderful server this evening. Her name was Natalie, and she was very pleasant, made great recommendations and overall had a great attitude. We started with some drinks, and my first choice unfortunately was not available (Frose machine was down); however, I settled on another drink, which was also great. So, we ended up sharing both the Italian Chopped Salad and the PB&J Pizza. Both were excellent. The Chopped Salad was perfectly tossed and dressed with a great assortment of ingredients including salami, pepperoni, provolone, chickpeas, peppers and olives. The Pizza was Pepperoni, Bacon and Jalapeno. It was also good, crispy, baked to a golden brown, with a good amount of toppings. YUM! We each got our own dessert, although we tried both. We got the Sticky Toffee Cake and the Chocolate Budino. Although they were both good, the Sticky Toffee Cake was the winner. This was next level. We were once at a Hells Kitchen restaurant, (the Gordon Ramsey one, not the one in MSP) and this one gave that one a clear rival to watch out for. Overall, an excellent meal. We wish this restaurant much success in the future. read more

This was my second time at Red Rabbit but my first time at this location. The parking lot was full but we lucked out with a street spot right outside. We got seated right away and it seemed a lot of people were there before a twins game or to beat the heat since temps were in the 90s. We got the focaccia to share and then I ordered chicken Alfredo and my friend got the cavatelli. The focaccia was AMAZING, probably the best I've had. Their chicken Alfredo is also fantastic. It's hard because they have so many great options and everything is good so it's hard to pick! read more

From the moment you step into The Red Rabbit, you're wrapped in a warm, sophisticated vibe that blends upscale tavern charm with a cozy, unpretentious energy. It's the kind of place that feels like a neighborhood staple and a hidden gem all at once -- where the lighting is perfect, the playlist hits just right, and the food? Exceptional. The wood-fired entrees are clearly crafted by a chef who knows their way around bold flavor and subtle finesse. Every dish we tried struck the ideal balance of rustic comfort and modern culinary technique. Think elevated classics with a twist -- nothing fussy, everything refined. Our server, Natalie, was a standout in her own right: warm, welcoming, and impressively knowledgeable, not only about the menu but about the local scene. Her recommendations felt more like insights from a friend than a script from a training manual. Yes, the price tag leans toward the higher end -- but make no mistake, it's priced appropriately for the quality, care, and creativity behind every plate. The Red Rabbit doesn't just serve dinner; it offers an experience -- and one I can't wait to have again read more

We started with the cheese curds and artichoke dip. Both were good and dip was super cheesy. We then got the carbonara special, pepperoni pizza and chicken parmesan. Chicken parm was the stand out dish, especially with a little squeeze of lemon. Carbonara was a little gritty in texture, as if there was some parmesan cheese that wasn't emulsified in the sauce. We sat in a booth at the bar and even on a calm Sunday afternoon, the vibes were great. Scott was our server and he was great, he kept the refills coming without even having to ask. We got lucky with a spot in the small rear parking lot but there is plenty of street parking around too. read more

Red Rabbit has a warm, relaxing vibe and was tastefully decorated for the holiday season. The host seated us right away and gave us a great rundown of the happy hour options and 12 Cocktails of Christmas offerings. Our server Mark did a fabulous job from start to finish and we never wanted for anything. Our absolute favorite part of the meal was our appetizer of wood grilled oysters. The play of flavors was sooo satisfying that I was literally doing a shimmy in my chair, and my husband said he could have eaten a few more orders of them. For entrees we had the PB & J pizza (pineapple, bacon & jalapeño) and the chicken parmesan. The pizza was enjoyable but barely had any pineapple on it, and the crust under the toppings was super thin and soggy, whereas the edges were puffed up and crisped to perfection so it really showcased what was wrong/missing with the other areas of the crust. The chicken parm had decent flavor; the chicken was moist, but they didn't give you a spoon to use as a base for spinning the pasta on your fork and good luck getting thicker bucatini pasta to spin 'round your fork without one especially when the chicken breast was pinning the noodles down to the plate. For dessert we were sad to find out they did not have any sticky toffee cake, but the zeppoli were certainly tasty and a nice way to end the meal. read more

This is the Red Cow's sister restaurant. It's more Italian based food options. There is also a location in St Paul. I've come here for the great brunch, amazing summer patio and good food. On the weekends and and occasions, like Mother's Day, there's an added menu for brunch. You really can't go wrong, but the homemade pasta and meat blends are what they do best. The kids even love their mac n cheese with beautifully rolled noodles. I recommend the butternut squash ravioli or the mastacholi. The apps are the same as Red Cow. However, there is a unique and delicious dessert to order, make it to go if you don't leave room in your belly to eat it! Sticky toffee cake- soaked in salted caramel sauce, with whipped cream, and candied orange zest!!! Give it a try! ZEPPOLIS read more

I had to try this spot out since I was torn between the Red Rabbit and Red Cow. Red Cow's great if you're craving burgers or classic American food, but I was in more of an Italian mood--so Red Rabbit it was. And honestly, I'm glad that I chose it. I got to try the 12-ounce Burning Bros American Lager, which is gluten-free. Super tasty--light, refreshing, and just really satisfying overall. For food, I started with the wood-grilled wings, and wow. I loved that they were grilled instead of fried--great flavor and a nice smoky touch. I also tried the spicy salami pizza, which was amazing. Just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor. And the cavatelli? That was great too very flavorful, and everything you'd want from pasta. The atmosphere was chill, the service was solid, and the food really hit the spot. Definitely a good call if you're craving pasta, pizza, or just a cozy Italian vibe with some great drinks. read more

I can't believe this was my first time at Red Rabbit. The fact it's the same owners as Red Cow surprised me (although it shouldn't have). The espresso martini was delicious. Although I felt there should be coffee beans as garnish. The calamari was delicious. I especially loved the while dipping sauce. The chicken parmesan was delicious but I would have preferred it crispier. I have super high standards after Hendrix and Siena....heavenly. The noise level was not too bad. I could have a conversation without yelling. read more

There truly is significance in simplicity. My husband and I visited Saturday evening for dinner, we found street parking about a block away and were seated inside right away. Our server was very sweet and didn't take too long in between check ins. The restaurant itself has great sources of natural light and tons of seating. However my only complaint is that there should be more than two bathroom stalls, it was very inconvenient to say the least. The food was delicious. Honestly, left me wanting more, especially the pesto genovese. The garlic bread cheese curds were definitely 10x better than regular cheese curds and the sunset sangria was also very delicious. This location is definitely somewhere we can see ourselves visiting again. read more

I absolutely DELIGHTED in Red Rabbit!! And cannot believe it took me so many years to try them out. I decided to reserve a time during lunch (which highly recommend because they were busy) and couldn't have enjoyed my experience more. From the service, to the food, to the delicate space, everything was top notch. We started with a few mocktails, all of which were tasty! Although both were yummy, the granata pop was way less sweet and I could tell the soda water took over. Onto the food: I mean it when I tell you every single thing was good! The caesar salad and broccolini DIVINE! The smokiness/grill on the broccolini added a whole different element! The cavatelli pasta and spicy salami entrees also did not disappointment. All I've been able to think about is going back. Well done, Red Rabbit. Well done. read more

After a lot of back and forth and insight from the bartender, I decided on the cheesesteak. It was the right decision. It was tender, flavorful, and filling without being heavy.

If you're on the fence like me, give the cheesesteak a try. read more

Been here a few times now and this place has always delivered. This is obviously recognizable with the long lines they've always got for those who are waiting to be seated.

The wait staff was really friendly and helpful with menu choices. read more

Had a really nice time at Red Rabbit recently during brunch. My group didn't order any brunch items but always love when places offer that. The vibes and our server were very pleasant, so no complaints there. We ordered pickle pizza, salmon piccata, and mostaccioli which were all tasty. I didn't add any meat to the mostaccioli but you can for an additional charge. It's an interesting mix of a red sauce and Alfredo with goat cheese. My cherry chocolate drink was amazing, so smooth with yummy chocolate garnish. Wish I remembered the name. It wasn't quite what I thought it would be from the description but was still great. I would recommend checking Red Rabbit out and I definitely plan to come back and try more items. read more

We really enjoyed this restaurant. We visited at 9PM on a Sunday and the place was busier than I thought it would be. We were promptly seated when we arrive. Natalie was our server and she was FABULOUS! So friendly and made great recommendations. We requested the dessert menu when she greeted us because we heard their desserts were excellent. She described all of the desserts in scrumptious detail, so we already decided on the Sticky Toffee Cake and the Chocolate Budino - more details after the entree section. To save room for dessert, we opted to split a salad and a pizza. When I saw the PB & J pizza, I felt seen (my go-to pizza at home is pineapple, pepperoni, and jalapeno) - sweet, savory, and spicy...my taste buds were dancing! Natalie recommended to add the hot honey to the pizza and it was devine! To balance the meal, we ordered the Italian Chopped salad...a nice complement to the pizza. Okay, now the desserts! The Sticky Toffee Cake is blinkered with a generous pour of delicious caramel that the cake soaks up and the runoff was a perfect addition to each bit. The cake is topped with candied orange rinds that creates a citrus pop and comes with a whipped sour cream that perfectly balanced to sticky sweetness. This is definitely a must have! I'm a chocoholic, so the Chocolate Budino was decadent! Rich, dense, almost fudge-like chocolate cake sat on a wonderful smear of berry coulis - creating a slight fresh tart to balance the chocolate. Finally, the vanilla ice cream help cut through the dense richness. For libations, I had the yummy Espresso Martini and my husband enjoyed the refreshing Peach Spritz. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Red Rabbit MN delivered playful, well-balanced dishes. The PB&J pizza was a fun sweet‑savory surprise, the broccolini was perfectly charred and crisp, and the roasted carrots were rich, caramelized, and unexpectedly standout.

When staying in Minneapolis for the night we decided to take a short walk from our hotel to check out Red Rabbit. They had a bit of a wait but it was well worth the wait for some amazing Italian food with above and beyond service. We got a table on the patio which had an amazing ambiance and decor. We were a tad worried once we walked in that maybe the restaurant was a tad too upscale for our two young kiddos who were in tow. Although we could not have felt more welcomed as a whole family and the service was above and beyond. A service came over with a tray of decorative candles letting my son blow them out. A few other employees came over to engage with my kiddos and made recommendations from the children's menu. Everyone loved what we ordered and I have never seen my kids eat so much. They both loved the spaghetti and meatball. Red Rabbit is on my list of repeat spots next time we are in Minneapolis! read more
