Review:Best Pizza in the Twin Cities... Gina Maria's is the best pizza around. The sauce on the pizza is what makes the pizza SO good. They also have really good sausage. I recommend the New York Style Gina's Special.
La Dolce Vita 6001 Shady Oak Rd. - 952.988.9968 $15.01 - $30 Their dining areas can seat up to 200 people for large private parties. Natural wood tones, tropical plants and artwork accent the interior. Spacious glass wall areas permit views of the surrounding trees, shrubs and flowers. \n\nThe second floor dining area has a vaulted ceiling and seasonal patio. Their main bar is cozy and enjoyable. The menu has a number of appetizers and the main entrees are based on traditional Italian/Mediterranean cuisine. Average entrees range from $15.00-$25.00. The atmosphere is spirited but subdued so you can enjoy either a social cocktail or a romantic dinner. Cuisine: Mediterranean Recommended Dishes:pan-roasted duck breast with figs stuffed pork loin with prune/apricot demi-glaze Review:Diamond in the Rough! We found this wonderful new restaurant by accident. The food and service was grand. Wonderful flavor and presented with a flair! The pan roasted duck and grilled salmon were to die for. A great martini, moderately priced wine, and excellent food and service, what more could I ask for? I will return with clients for lunch! Review:Fun and Fine Dining A friend of mine suggested this restaurant and I truly say thanks. The food and service were excellent. We had a great time with the locals at the bar and joined a couple for dinner. I had the Beef Tenderloin which was crusted with caramelized shallots and a Cabernet demi-glaze. The combination was great! My guest ordered the shrimp with portabella risotto. The risotto had chunks of portabella mushrooms, peas, caramelized onions, and roasted red peppers included. She truly tried to eat every bite! We have included this place on our top ten list!
Crossroads Delicatessen 2795 Hedberg Dr - 612.546.6595 Cuisine: Deli / Sandwiches Recommended Dishes:'Chicken in the Pot', and sandwich Review:Minneapolis's Finest Deli I headed into CrossRoads Deli because I heard the bread was fabulous...and it was. I ordered their famous "Chicken in the Pot," and for those of us who had a European grandmother in the kitchen, this is exactly what it tastes like. I was impressed with the service and the atmosphere was good. My friend ordered their spinach salad which was enormous and delectable. We settled on some brownies for dessert and were in heaven. Highly recommended for those people who want a good deli....this one is it.

Stuart Anderson's Cattle Company 10600 Wayzata Blvd - 612.541.1430 Recommended Dishes:Anything cold Review:They didn't care We got seated at a table that everytime the front door was opened, we got an arctic blast of air!! After expressing this concern to our waiter,who was very nice to this point, casually blew us off like he had heard it a hundred times before. We caught the manager on his way by, and he did the same thing, without so much as an apology. I would have gladly waited for a different table, since we had already waited 1 1/2 hours for this one. All of our food got cold very fast, and was not done to our liking anyways. Would recommend going anywhere else but here. Treated like a number, and get'em in get'em out attitude. Maybe that's why the call it "Cattle Company".
