You have heard of bankers hours? Well this place combines barber days with the stereotypical…read moreGreek/Italian work ethic (and way worse than bankers hours) as they are open from Tuesday - Friday, 11 am to 6 pm and Saturday 10:30 to 5. Unfortunately I am standing here at 1 pm on a Monday and I drove across town specifically to go to this establishment (looking for spices to be precise) and it is closed. It really amazes me that businesses aren't open when people are out shopping. Ok, celebrate the Sabbath, but What about Monday and the hours before 11 or after 6? As I stand here writing this, two other people walked up and then left. Perhaps this is what is the most aggravating part. If you know downtown Bismarck at all, you know parking can really suck, yet the owner posted an 8 1/2 x 11 sign on the door, so one has to walk up to read it, meaning parking someplace like one one of the ramps that cost money. I don't know if they even validate, but I guess I will never know now. And to think I told my daughter just last week that I no longer needed to buy my olive oil in Nashville or order spices online. Just sad.

Love it. Bismarck's only upscale cheese and olive oil selection. THANK YOU for being here. Maybe…read moreif more Bismarckers shopped such items you could stay open more hours. Don't mind the haters (the Michaels of the world who don't know Italians and Greeks but through hater-idiots' ideas about the greatest business people in the world.) Press on and stay real!! Maybe some day he'll realize it's people like him who make stores like you have to have special hours. Oh, and anyone who thinks parking is a problem has never travelled. By the the way, pinch n pour sits under one of the largest sparking ramps in the city. Awesome access.

Dakota Nuts-N-Candy is exactly what has been needed in downtown Bismarck. The shop is small but you…read morecan definitely find something to please everyone's taste buds. Excellent verity of sweet and savory snacks from roasted nuts, Spanish peanuts, toffee cover peanuts, sesame snack mix, chocolate covered nuts, fruit and trail mix. It was honestly hard to not buy a bag of each candy. I'm a huge cherry fan so I went with the Dark covered chocolate cherries, they were amazing. My next treat from this store will be the chocolate covered espresso beans. They also make gift baskets and have a verity of old school candies. I am a huge fan of supporting local businesses. Great customer service and liked the fact in my bag was a couple pens and some pixie sticks. I will definitely return and spread the word to others about the shop.

We stopped in midmorning on a Saturday, and it was busy with a mix of locals and students. The counter staff was friendly and helpful. The pastry case made it tough to choose, but we went with a Pumpkin Cheesecake Cruffin, Maple Pecan Blondie, BLT Croissant, and coffee. Everything was fresh and tasty. They also sell loaves of bread and other baked goods to take home. The staff was warm and polite, and even those working behind the counter who weren't serving us took a moment to say thanks for coming in. Will definitely be visiting again.

Anima Cucina is such a cute spot in Bismarck. I was greeted right away and seated promptly, and the…read moreservice throughout the meal was warm, friendly, and attentive. For a small restaurant, they also have an impressive wine selection. We started with the garlic bread, hot olives, and meatballs -- all of which were flavorful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. For entrées, our table had the breaded walleye, the Bolognese pasta, and the Porchetta. The walleye and Bolognese were outstanding, but unfortunately the Porchetta was a big letdown. The skin was chewy rather than crisp, with a thick layer of unrendered fat beneath it, and most concerning, it still had visible pig hair. I was expecting the classic combination of crackling skin, melting fat, and tender pork, but instead it was oddly undercooked on the outside, dry inside, and after biting into hair, I really lost my appetite for it. We finished with tiramisu and a torte, and both desserts were excellent -- a strong way to end the meal. Overall, Anima Cucina has a lot going for it: charming atmosphere, friendly staff, great starters, and standout entrées (other than the Porchetta). I'd happily return for the appetizers, pasta, fish, and desserts, but I'd avoid the Porchetta based on my experience.
