  al Vento

  5001 34th Ave S Minneapolis, MN 55417 US - +1-612-724-3009

  NOKOMIS. Hearty southern Italian cuisine comes to South Minneapolis in this cozy restaurant. Yellow-gold paint and whimsical decorative touches create an intimate, welcoming space. Octopus with saffron potato and citronette makes for an unexpected starter, while updated classics like spaghetti with tomato and veal meatballs and gorgonzola-crusted steak with wild mushroom ragu populate the entrees menu. Arrive early on weeknights to sip half-price bottles of wine between 4:30pm and 5:30pm.

  Buca di Beppo

  2728 Ganon Rd St. Paul, MN 55116 US - +1-651-772-4388

  DOWNTOWN. Buca di Beppo has a reputation for being one of the most entertaining Italian eateries in town. Inside, the decor borders on downright amusing, as does the waitstaff's Stooge-like behavior, as they yell across the restaurant and bark orders at patrons. The shtick is not an attempt to cover a weak menu either, because the family-style food comes in delicious heaps. Specialties include homemade pizzas, chicken cacciatore, and veal parmigiana. Southern Italian cuisine at its Twin City best!

  Chez Daniel

  2800 American Blvd W Embassy Suites Bloomington, MN 55431 US - +1-952-888-4447

  BLOOMINGTON. For truly excellent French cuisine, look no further than this hotel restaurant. Everything about Chez Daniel exudes class, from its elegant yet informal atmosphere to its innovative menu. Among the restaurant's more popular items are steak au poivre, smoked salmon, and sautéed tiger prawns. Leisurely meals usually go on for a good while, especially when Chez Daniel's wine list gets involved.

  Chris & Rob's

  3101 E 42nd St Minneapolis, MN 55406 US - +1-612-729-5507

  SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. A five-spot will get you a canned soda and a loaded, Chicago-style dog at this beyond-casual spot, where every table sports red and white checkered tablecloths and a roll of paper towels. If you're brave, attempt the house specialty: a Vienna Beef dog served on a poppy seed bun and smothered in mustard, "nuclear relish," onions, and celery salt. Juicy and sure to satisfy, it's a taste straight from the South Side. Other choices ­ including pizzas, Italian beef sandwiches, Maxwell Street Polishes, and meatball sandwiches ­ are equally tempting and grease-laden. NB Formerly called Joey D's.

  David Fong's

  9329 Lyndale Ave S Bloomington, MN 55420 US - +1-952-888-9294

  BLOOMINGTON. A pleasing mix of Cantonese dishes and American favorites can be had at this Bloomington mainstay. Hot and spicy beef, moo goo gai pan, and shrimp with snow peas tempt Chinese-food devotees, while filet mignon, broiled lobster tails, and fried jumbo shrimp entice those looking for a steakhouse experience. An array of soups, noodle dishes, and fried rice is also on offer. Dinner specials are permanent and nightly, often featuring entrees that blend the kitchen's Cantonese and American sensibilities. A kid's menu and a take-out menu win points with families and diners on the run, respectively.

  Highland Grill & Cafe

  771 Cleveland Ave S St. Paul, MN 55116-1348 US - +1-651-690-1173

  Highland Grill enjoys the loyal patronage of many regulars who appreciate made-from-scratch dishes and comfortable atmosphere. Specialties include panko-crusted grilled salmon, a monstrous Peter's Burger (with egg and caramelized onions), ratatouille with rice, and blue corn pancakes. At lunch, you'll want to mosey up to the counter and sample fish and chips or a burger named in honor of Elvis (it's got bacon and roasted garlic mayo!).

• 

  Mel-O-Glaze Bakery

  4800 28th Ave. South Minneapolis, MN US - +1-612-729-9316

  If you want an authentic, homemade doughnut freshly glazed, then look no further than Mel-O-Glaze Bakery in Minneapolis. Perfect for breakfast or even an afternoon snack, Mel-O-Glaze offers a wide variety of pastries, cookies, breads, cakes, doughnuts and more that'll hit the spot any time of the day.

Head to Mel-O-Glaze for finger-licking good treats.

  Prima

  5325 Lyndale Ave S Minneapolis, MN 55419 US - +1-612-827-7376

  SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. Whether you're looking for an on-the-go sandwich for lunch or a leisurely, first-date dinner, Prima is a wise choice. Locals rave about the deli sandwiches, piled high with choice meats and accompaniments like brie and spinach. Pastas take center stage at dinner ­ five-cheese tortellini and spaghetti vongole are dished up in generous, savory portions. Agnolotti, small pasta stuffed with a puree of red peppers and goat cheese, is not to be missed. With several dishes geared towards vegetarians and a kid-friendly atmosphere, there's something for everyone at this favorite neighborhood bistro.

• 

  Ristorante Luci

  470 Cleveland Ave S St. Paul, MN 55105 US - +1-651-699-8258

  HIGHLAND. St. Paul doesn't lack for Italian restaurants, and Luci is among the best. The cozy restaurant lacks the flashy interior of some of its competitors, but owners Al and Lucille take pride in their Southern Italian menu. It's hard to select a favorite from so many excellent dishes, but any visit must include bruschetta followed by anything featuring homemade mozzarella cheese.

• 

  Scott Ja-Mamas Restaurant

  3 W Diamond Lake Rd Minneapolis, MN 55419 US - +1-612-823-4450

  SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. Cozy Scott Ja-Mamas enjoys fine status as one of the area's best barbecue dives, and identifying two or three standouts on the menu is impossible since everything tastes so good! Follow the "Hot Barbecue" neon sign, and you'll find finger-licking spare ribs, barbecued chicken, and shredded pork, along with a selection of sauces: mild, medium, or hot (and they do mean HOT!). Consider throwing a twice-baked potato into the mix, too. Come early for lunch, because seating is often limited. If you do have to wait, check out the eclectic decor, which includes poker-playing dog art and newspaper clippings.
