SPECIAL OCCASION/SPECIAL PLACE I've been going to DeGidio's…read morew/my family my whole life, ever since I was little. So when I was looking for a special place to take my boyfriend for his birthday, I knew this was the perfect place (he'd never been there before). AMBIANCE They have remodeled since I'd been there last, and it looks absolutely beautiful; even the restrooms are decorated nicely. DRINKS It's not always easy to find well-made old fashioneds, but we decided to start off with a couple and try their's out; they did not disappoint, they were fabulous! FOOD He ordered lasagna and I ordered the shrimp pasta, which were both so incredibly good. Their red sauce is absolutely phenomenal and addicting! DESSERTS We ordered a couple desserts to end our night, and again, super good, you can't go wrong w/your choice! SERVICE Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive. We had a very wonderful experience and it was truly great to be back at one of the classic staples of St Paul. Highly recommend!

We came here for my wife's birthday--our first time--and it was a solid choice. We'd heard a lot of…read moregreat things, so we were excited to finally try it. We made reservations and were seated right away, which was a great start. The host was friendly, and our server was attentive without being overbearing--checking in regularly on drinks and making sure everything tasted right. We kicked things off with the buffalo wings. They had great flavor without too much heat, which I personally enjoyed. For the main course, I went with the burger, and my wife ordered the rigatoni alla vodka. My burger was filling, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. The bun was just a touch on the firm side (I'll admit, I'm a bit of a burger snob), but overall it was very good. The fries, though, were excellent--definitely a highlight. My wife really enjoyed her dish as well--the sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy. She mentioned it could've used a little fresh Parmesan and a bit more heat, since she likes some spice, but overall she was happy with it. Since it was her birthday they gave us a free desert and the server mentions the bread pudding which was very tasty. Overall, a great experience with good food, solid service, and a nice atmosphere. We'd definitely come back.

Super fun restaurant with a cafeteria-like setup that I had never seen before and it was really…read moreneat to checkout! When in doubt, follow the crowd! I ended up getting some tortellini and a pepperoni pizza while trying to save room for some dessert because the separate dessert cafe looked absolutely amazing! The line for food went really fast from grabbing a tray to getting food, paying, and sitting down - whole thing probably took about ten minutes? There isn't much seating on the ground floor but loads on the second level which is also where you get water. It can get pretty hot up there with all of the open windows so try to sit on the shadier side if you can so you aren't roasting! My tortellini with Alfredo sauce was actually super salty and I only ended up eating about half but my pizza was pretty good! The water cups are tiny so I felt like I had to ration out my sips and it didn't help it was a super hot weekend so I already felt pretty thirsty. We went down to the market area walked around the grocery store before peaking into the desserts. So bummed I was super full but just means we will have to come back another time! The meat in the butcher area looked phenomenal and the macarons looked so delicious!

I asked for clarification on this and they stated they are a catering business and do not do sit down tastings. Our decision to NOT use their services was made before we left their dirty and cluttered kitchen we stood in while given our take out apps. Also the food is not that great after we reheated it at home as instructed. Attached pictures show Kane's building, take out containers given to us, and reheated food.

This is the first barbecue joint since Big Daddy's (RIP) that I've had in the St. Paul area that…read morewasn't disappointing. Brisket: proper render, good smoke ring (this doesn't affect taste but it looks nice), meteorite-black bark as it should be, proper bend on the slice. Fat amount was correct, maybe a little solid from waiting without a warmer. Hot links pretty good, decent flavor, sliced a little thin but nothing to complain about, red, could still get some snap on the casing. Beans were satisfying. Cole slaw was good, no stupid tricks or added herbs, exactly what you expect. Meat platters served with toast which I appreciate more than traditional squishy white bread. They have a whole lot of sauces to choose from; while I don't generally use or advocate sauces with brisket, I tried the Hot and I liked the balance of peppers and vinegar. Alary's (the bar that serves Petey's) validates parking for the ramp next door, which is great because parking is even worse than usual downtown right now. I passed the smoker walking from the ramp, looks like a big charcoal/wood gravity or sidebox wood-fired offset. You can tell from the product that it's run with real skill. Looking forward to my next visit, which is something I almost never say about a barbecue joint.

We hired Savage Chef to provide catering for a funeral luncheon, including setup, service, and…read morecleanup. Unfortunately, the experience did not come close to meeting expectations, especially given the nature of the event and the nearly $5,000 fee they quoted. To be fair, in the end, they knocked off several hundred dollars because of the disaster their inability to handle the job caused. The gesture was inadequate, considering our family did most of the actual work that day. The caterer arrived late, and only part of the staff showed up. The sandwiches had not been prepared in advance, the soup was not ready on time--nor was there enough, and twelve of the deceased's family members had to step in to help prepare food while more than 200 guests waited. Our family not only made the sandwiches, they also brought them out to the waiting guests. It made an already sad day become an embarrassing mess. The bakery bread we were promised was not used; instead, grocery store bread was served. Ty said the baker couldn't accommodate the volume of bread - we had this catering agreement in place for over 1 1/2 months. We were never told of this prior to the event. Beverages were also not stocked properly, and we had to repeatedly ask for refills. Some family members had to carry in cases of water from the caterer's car in the twenty-below weather. We chose Savage Chef based on positive reviews and the presentation of his food, but neither the service nor the execution nor the quality lived up to the advertising. Given the circumstances and cost, this was a very disappointing and upsetting experience. I cannot in good conscience recommend them to anyone.
