Came back under the new owners and was blown away by how insanely good their pasta is. Truly some of the best pasta I've had, and for sure in the twin cities. I got the fusilli and LOVED it. We also tried their arancini and it was to die for. Taste wise very comparable to a traditionally arancini, but even better because they served it with a creamy cheese sauce. I absolutely will be coming back and I can't wait to do so (once I fight for and get a reservation lol). Also our service was fantastic, our server was so so sweet. read more

It has been a few years since I have been to ie Italian Eatery. My first time here was back in October 2021 with a group of new friends whom I have become pretty close with and my most recent visit this past Sunday was with them and it was nice to be back together! We ordered a variety of dishes to share and it was a great meal and capped off with a nice Tiramisu dessert. The servers were pretty friendly and attentive - they stopped by many times during our meal to check on us. While there is a parking lot for the restaurant, it is not super big and the parking spaces are pretty small/tight. read more

We came on a Thursday night for my wife's birthday and heard of this restaurant because Travail is our favorite place in the Twin Cities. Travail purchased this restaurant and reopened last year. Here are my ratings of each item that our group ordered. Cocktails: Seasonal Spritz - 8.5 - so beautifully sharp and carbonated, reminded me a little of sangria Vilo - 6.8 - very unique flavor cocktail. I'm not a grapefruit lover and found this to be little bitter. They were out of the Mule's Mistress which is the cocktail I wanted to try. Food: Bread - 8.8/10 - Butter was very good and creamy, pretty standard bread but super fresh and I kept coming back for more. Roman Meatballs - 9.3-10 - This was the best thing I ate all night. Perfectly cooked, amazing pomodoro sauce. We were talking about how if we came back we'd get spaghetti with these meatballs. Apple + Root Salad - 9.1/10 - Probably the surprise of the night. Everyone loved this salad and we ordered two. The lemon vinaigrette dressing, strips of apple were all so refreshing and great flavor. 720 Day Prosciutto Burrata - 7.7/10 - The burrata didn't have the typical soft, creamy texture I'm used to, but good flavor along with decent grilled bread. I'm not a prosciutto fan usually but the aging did make this better and less salty. Mostly rating on behalf of the burrata. Rigatoni - 8.0 - This tasted good with vodka sauce and sausage, however I found the noodle to be a little floppy and would have preferred more al dente. Came in expecting this to be my favorite. Calabrian Cauliflower - 7.0 - Pretty good, a little spicy, maybe overdone with the sauce. Heirloom Potatoes - 5.0 - This was the most unusual experience of the night. How could anything go wrong with a potato? Well, the "Nduja aioli" ruined the dish for me. Maybe some kind of spice that didn't agree with my palette but others didn't mind it so take that as you will. Again, could have used less suace. Mushroom Cappelletti - 8.5 - Another surprise of the night is that this was my favorite of the pastas we tried. Very creamy, white sauce. Mushrooms are not typically one of my go-to's but the whiskey age shoyu, creme fraiche really elevated this dish. Couldn't eat a whole plate because of how rich it was but high marks. Bucatini - 7.9 - Enjoyed the nice chewy texture of the pasta, otherwise solid, nothing particularly noteworthy. Service was good, very attentive to allergy considerations in our group. No complimentary dessert for birthday :P Good atmosphere, not too crowded or loud. Friendly staff all around. The reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because the pasta doesn't blow me away which I would think would be the star as an Italian restaurant. I'm using Bar La Grassa as the standard for pasta which is may be a high bar. I'd still recommend visiting! read more

The dining experience here did not start good. The restaurant's air conditioning was not working on one of our hottest days it was 93°F outside, the dining room felt like it was easily in the mid-80s. It was totally uncomfortable trying to eat while sweat ran down you back. To make matters worse, they served us what seemed like room temperature water, I finally asked for some ice and was surprised our waiter didn't offer it up. Unfortunately my entrée rigatoni, did not make up for it and was a disappointment. After starting on it, I realized the entire bottom of the bowl was swimming in a heavy puddle of oil. It was incredibly greasy and, frankly, unappetizing. Hopefully they get their air conditioner fixed soon and make adjustments to their rigatoni . The menu in general was quite small for choices. read more

First visit since Travail took over. Happy to see an expanded menu and old favorites. Arancini not pictured were delicious. Would've have enjoyed a larger serving however. Cavatelli was exactly what we remember, but $7 more representative of not just inflation costs every restaurant is facing but higher pricing overall. Pork chop was delicious and generally well prepared. I little extra char than needed and being such a fatty chop not sure what the purpose of the olive oil drizzle. The apple and fennel salad on top was unfortunately inedible. No apple or fennel flavor, just bitterness, parsley and jalapeño. Service was warm and friendly and exactly the right pace. Although it took a bit long for our entree's to arrive. A delicious twist on a Negroni. I would have given a 3.75 rating due to the large price increase and somewhat small portions on some items. read more

I recently visited IE Italian Eatery and thought the food was really good. The dishes were well prepared, flavorful, and showed why this place gets recommended so often. Unfortunately, the biggest issue with my visit was that my reservation was not accommodated as expected, which put a damper on the overall experience. For a restaurant at this price point, I think service and the overall guest experience matter just as much as the food. While I enjoyed the meal, that experience has made me hesitant to return, especially when there are several other Italian restaurants in the area that offer both great food and a smoother customer experience. read more

I've dined here a handful of times and it's consistently fresh and delicious. It gets busy so definitely make a reservation ahead of time. There is a small parking lot and street parking available. My favorite pasta is the Trottole -- the pasta had a good bite and the cacio e pepe sauce was flavorful and perfectly salted. The scallops are incredible! I didn't love the bucatini -- the noodles were a little undercooked and the sauce wasn't as flavorful as other dishes. The rigatoni is flavorful and has a little bit of a kick to it. read more

Walked in on a busy Friday evening and snagged a spot at the bar. This is a buzzy spot that is deceivingly large on the inside. There was a bit of a wait for a table, but not long. Patio szn will make this spot amazing. The little side bar outside the front door with bistro seats is a lovely place to wait for your table. Lots of folks grabbing apertivo and limoncello flights. I'm no Italian wine expert so thank goodness for ChatGPT to help me out with picking a wine. I think the bartender was also grateful for this because she was busy. No fuss, better get ready to order! Salmon carpaccio came with a delicious lemony cracker. The mushroom cappaletti was phenomenal. The Casaeecce lamb pasta was a ok. Nice spot for an elevated casual Italian night out! read more

Celebrated my birthday at one of my favorite spots, I.E.! The space has a warm, modern elegance, and the staff is always friendly, attentive, and professional. There is a small parking lot that fills up quickly, so be prepared to use street parking on this busy stretch. The food never disappoints. Their tomato basil soup and spaghetti are absolute must-orders for me--I get them every single visit. The soup is rich and comforting, topped with crème fraîche and chive oil that's immaculate, especially when paired with toasted bread and butter. The spaghetti may look simple, but it's fresh, authentic, and perfectly classic. And dessert? I'm obsessed with their chocolate olive oil torte. I order mine without the sea salt (personal preference), and it's light yet decadent. The olive oil and whipped cream add just the right amount of moisture and richness to finish the meal on a high note. A perfect spot for a special occasion--or honestly, any night you're craving great Italian food! read more

Came here while visiting some friends for the weekend. Menu is a little small and honestly a little expensive for the amount you get. I'd expect that to have translated to incredible flavor but I has a little underwhelmed. I had the casarecce and it was pretty salty. My wife had the trottole and said it was just okay. We did really like the mushroom bruschetta, but I think it was a little overpriced at $14 for 2 pieces. Service was pretty quick despite how busy they were. The parking lot is a tiny nightmare, so keep that in mind if you're going. read more

Amazing! First time dining here and I'm ready to go back. Took my mom for her 82nd birthday and she fully enjoyed it. Staff was fabulous, friendly and helpful. Decore was classy, beautiful and super comfortable. The food was perfect- fresh flavors, beautifully plated and oh so, so good! Also had the Chocolate Olive Oil Torte. The whipped cream on this decadent desert is one of the best things I've ever eaten! So glad we chose this place to celebrate at. Delicious! read more

The food here is very good to excellent. Portion sizes are very small for what you receive. The meatballs are lovely in a bright tomato sauce. The Burrata appetizer is good, but expensive. The spaghetti is good but plain and meatballs are extra. I really enjoyed the Trottole. A little saucier would have been better as the sauce was excellent. Service was good and they were completely full. read more

Visited 11/9/25. Back at Italian Eatery! It was pretty busy on this given night (a Sunday), which was surprising, but I'm glad that they're doing so well! We made a reservation in advance for three of us and were seated right away. Service was a bit slower just because of how many people were there, but our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable when she could see us and check in. To start we got the mushroom bruschetta app, which had good flavor, but I would've thought more of complimentary bread or a cheap bread/olive oil option to be honest (I know that's not much of a thing anymore though). For dinner, my friend and I got the due sfoglia seasonal option and our other friend got the rigatoni. The due sfoglia was so unique and was such a fun seasonal option. The bitterness of the radicchio on top worked really well and made for flavorful bites. My only slight qualm was that the ends of the pasta sheets end up really crispy and dry so could benefit from a drizzle of sauce or something on them just because they weren't amazing on their own. I got a bite of my other friend's rigatoni as well and I love the shape and bite to that pasta in particular. Would definitely be back to try out more things! read more

Came here during Restaurant Week with two my fellow Yelpies and had a feast! The pastas were flavorful but nothing outstanding, was a little too salty for the white sauce.

I stopped into ie Italian eatery late one Friday evening. Driving home from a happy hour I wanted a quick but delicious bite. IE had good reviews and the restaurant was not too far from me. I was pleasantly surprised by the intimate feel of IE. The wooden tables and chairs are incredibly comfortable and there is ample space for multiple party sizes. They have 2 dining rooms and an outdoor seating area. I walked in and was seated right away, the hostess was too kind. The menu is simple, a handful of shareable items, salads, pastas, entrees, and sides. This made my decision much simpler than I had anticipated. I wanted to get a sense of what the food tasted like so I ordered one item - the bucatini. This is one of the tastiest meals I've had in Minnesota. I rarely say that but ie earned the label. This is a tomato based sauce with pecorino and guanciale. There was just a hint of that pecorino with each bite which I quite enjoyed. The guanciale added saltiness and a firm texture to the dish. 5/5 I completely recommend. And to top it off, Aaron was a fantastic server. I will be back and will bring my friends, family, and partner! read more

IE is incredible, with stunning dishes at every course, a wonderful and accommodating staff, in a casual yet elegant setting. Visiting the area from NY our friend got us a reservation (which you will definitely need) and hyped up IE and it's delectable dishes. We were truly wowed by every item we ate, with 2 appetizers, the arancini and meatballs and 4 pasta dishes to share. Which we did family style and they don't technically do it that way but made it possible for us. I won't tell you what to get because taste buds will vary but every dish was cooked to perfection, with vibrant looks and flavors. All I can tell you is to make your reservation now, and I hope you are swept away as much as we were. Enjoy!! read more

Reservation recommended at this restaurant, we've made Reservation and tried to modify it to add additional people and online said no tables available. We went to check with the host to see if they can accommodate and she offered us seats at the end of the bar. Beautiful restaurant, they do have a parking lot but it gets filled quick. So you might have to park along the street. Food was delicious! I was looking forward to the sauces on the pastas and we all loved it. read more

First time at IE since the reopening with new owners. We sat on the patio at 8pm on a Friday night, it was fairly busy but there were still empty tables. I love their patio in the summer and the inside cozy vibes during the cold months. We ordered drinks, and the halibut crudo to start. The halibut appetizer was presented beautifully!! It was fun to try something new. It was a bit fishy for me (I prefer salmon crudo) but still delicious. Our drinks took a while to come out, we had finished our appetizer by then. The bar might've been a bit behind. We ordered the pappardelle and the mushroom cappelletti, and we added meatballs on the side. After we had been waiting a bit our waitress let us know they were out of clams for the pappardelle. We said it was okay, (I wish there was a price cut or some type of substitution) but figured the shrimp would be enough. At this point our waitress was super busy with other tables so we flagged down someone else to order another drink. When our food came, 2/3 plates were cold, just the mushroom cappelletti was warm. I figure since that's their most popular item it maybe took the longest and our other plates were sitting waiting. The pappardelle was lacking flavor and the shrimps were tiny, Lol. Overall, everything was still tasty, but the bar was so high from previously coming here before they closed & reopened. It's great food, but for the price it should be outstanding. I would give this experience a 3.5/5 but will round up to 4/5 because it pains me to be disappointed with IE! I still love this place, and it's in our neighborhood, but it's not at the top of my list for pasta anymore. read more

Adding an update because IE has closed and re-opened under new management. We've been twice since the re-opening and both dinners were lovely. For my birthday, our server was incredible and met the banter and celebration of my family with ease. Ambiance was great - not too loud, comfortable seating and perfect lighting. The food is just as good if not better than before. Definitely enjoy this spot! read more

My first time back since the reopening and the Travail takeover. Love that they kept the Calabrian Cauliflower. Still a fave. Great service. My cocktail was good and decently priced. I really loved the Casarecce. The lamb is simmered into the sauce all day. Super rich, tender and flavorful. It feels a bit fancier inside. The patio is great and has a privacy fence. read more

I recently visited IE Italian Eatery in Minneapolis; if you are into italian cuisine with great ambiance, this is your place. If you are taking a date here, there is plenty of park walking to walk off those calories afterwards. I ordered the mushroom cappelletti. Unfortunately, it really wasn't to my liking--the mushroom taste just a little bit overwhelmed me and definitely is an acquired taste. I did have a really good glass of red wine which I cannot remember the name but it was a Cabernet Sauvignon. The Arancini was super good; it actually saved my dinner because unfortunately I just didn't enjoy the cappelletti that much. That being said, the hostess was so friendly and warm, which made it a more enjoyable experience through and through. Due to this hospitality from her, I am rating it higher than a lower rating that I would have otherwise given." read more

So excited IE is back better than ever. It's such a lovely, welcoming space perfect for a date night, celebration or just a casual dinner. We've never had a bad meal prior and this time was no exception, our food was perfectly cooked, suggested wine was delicious and the fresh out of the oven bread was a wonderful addition. We shared and the mix of the mushroom and red sauce was the perfect bite in my opinion. The service was always good but it's elevated from before and didn't go unnoticed. This will be in our regular rotation. read more

Italian Eatery is the perfect neighborhood restaurant, serving tasty Italian dishes and providing such a welcoming and warm environment. The mushroom cappelletti is my all time favorite pasta dish in the Twin Cities. It is perfectly savory and you get a taste of mushroom with every bite. I recommend asking for bread to soak up any left over sauce - can't let perfection go to waste! We ordered the ricotta gnocchi as an appetizer to share and it was also delicious. The Calabrian cauliflower is also amazing. There is not a single thing I would change about it. IE is always pretty busy so I would recommend making a reservation to ensure you're able to be seated. There is a small parking lot out front but also plenty of street parking nearby if the lot is full. I am so so happy that Italian Eatery is back and that they brought back some of my favorite dishes! I can't wait to explore more of their menu. read more

A great spot for a special occasion! I was eager to try ie after it was taken over by travail and I'm happy to report it hasn't changed much. We started with espresso martinis -- crafted fantastically as the foam stays the entire time you are sipping. Next was the mussels, really nice flavor! Salmon carpaccio was REALLY tasty, and uniquely done. You can't go wrong with the mushroom cappelletti -- just such a ie staple. Try it if you haven't had the chance. Casarerecce was good but a little overly salty for my preference. Lemon dessert was so so so fantastic. My tastebuds are dancing. Our server Monica was great, and the front desk staff was pleasant and efficient, no complaints! read more

My fiancé and I have been here several times, before and after the transfer of ownership and it is easily our favorite pasta place in the Twin Cities. I ordered the ricotta cavatelli and am so sad I didn't get a photo to share, but I ate it so fast, it was that good! The flavors are so rich and delicious. The service was amazing, our server went above and beyond. This place is perfect for a romantic date night or a few drinks at the bar. We also loved their mocktail selection! read more

When I heard ie was closing I was devastated. My boyfriend and I used to live in the area and we came here a handful of times before we moved. Once we moved I would drive 15 min just to get their spaghetti because I loved it so much. So, you can imagine how excited I was when I learned it was reopening! I was surprised by them teaming up with Travail (a restaurant I really enjoyed when I went). I was worried that the entire menu would be totally different but, much to my surprise, it wasn't! I did notice that the prices went up a little bit if I'm remembering correctly. We made reservations and went on a weekday. We were sat immediately and the interior was pretty much the same as I remember from before. It's a great vibe for a date! We ordered the mussels (which we used to be wowed by the size for the price and it used to be one of our top 3 things to get). I could be wrong but I felt as if the portion was smaller and the price was higher. Before, you'd get a LARGE amount of mussles and the lemon butter it was in was DIVINE! We would always ask for extra bread to soak it all up. Sadly, I didn't think they were as good now. They didn't taste as lemony and buttery. I felt as if the taste was much more subdued. The dish was still good but I was definitely a little sad about the change. For our drinks we ordered the Angry Calabrian & the Mules Mistress. We both really enjoyed our cocktails! For our main meals we got the spaghetti & the mushroom cappelletti. I was so beyond excited to have the spaghetti again but to my disappointment, it was not as good. Im not sure what changed but before I swear it was was richer and cheesier. I would devour it in minutes. They also used to use bucatini which is a thicker noodle and I loved it so much but I believe they have switched the type of noodle used. It was still a good spaghetti but I am disappointed that it wasn't as amazing as before. However, my boyfriend really enjoyed his pasta! He said it was nutty and filled with umami. Overall, we had a good time at IE and were so excited they're back. However, I feel as if they changed some of their best recipes and I really don't know why. Also it got pricier which is understandable but also sad. read more

I visited ie on a Monday night to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was very busy. We started our meal with the mussels. They were cooked perfectly, very garlicky and the bread was toasty and perfect for dunking. I ordered the trottole Cacio e Pepe style. It was delicious. Creamy and salty. Mmmm. The only downside of the meal was our seating. We were along the wall at a little table and the table next to us felt like they were sitting with us and in our conversation. It also felt like they were trying to get us out the door after a certain amount of time, like they were trying to turn tables quick. Overall, I would visit again. The food was fantastic! read more

Was excited to visit ie after the re-kickoff partnership with Travail. I think they should change the name of the Cedar cocktail to something else, as it was way to Orange sweet and margarita like than the old Cedar cocktail. The tuna appetizer is not really worth it for the cost. The flavor &!sauce (citrus oil drizzle) was okay. The shrimp pasta with the pepper sauce was good. The Cacio de Pepe was okay. Seems like to need to eat that one straight from the skillet for it to be good. read more

Five of us got together for dinner and we were seated in a roomy comfortable booth! We had a reservation which I definitely recommend. We started off with drinks and there was a good variety of wines, beers, cocktails and mocktails. I had their fresh lemonade and it was fantastic. We ordered some shared plates as starters. The Arancini was my favorite appetizer. The meatballs were popular at the table, too. I tried the beef carpaccio and it was too lemony for my husband & I, we scraped off the topping and ate the beef which was yummy. I ordered tomato basil soup which was creamy and perfect. Three of us ordered spaghetti and some added meatballs. The pasta and sauce were fresh and tasty! Another at our table had the short rib and he said it was amazing! The only bummer was that the servings of the dishes were small, especially the "sharing" ones. Everyone on staff was wonderful, excellent service. read more

I am updating the review because I think the food is really excellent now that Travail has taken over. We started with the CASA RICOTTA which was perfect. We had the APPLE + ROOT SALAD which looked like it was picked from a backyard garden the day before. We had the DUE SFOGLIA which was so interesting and even more tasty! This is a must. We had the MUSHROOM CAPPELLETTI which was yummy- a perfect dish to share. We then had the HALF CHICKEN. I am becoming more of a fan of ordering chicken at restaurants and if it's good then it's great. This is great. We also had the CALABRIAN CAULIFLOWER and it was very buffalo like in flavor and I would probably skip next time. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu which was good but I am not a fan of it overall. We also had the chocolate olive oil cake which was perfect. I am excited ie is still there! read more

Truly the best food I've eaten in a long time. I love Travail so my expectations were kind of high, but this exceeded them. The drinks, the service, the food ... all top notch. A great wine list, a good selection of appetizers and entrees. I literally said out loud, "I think this is changing my life," as I ate the pasta. Would be great as a group because there's lots of space for bigger parties ... and it would mean more people to help eat all the delicious apps and desserts. Can't wait to go back here. read more

Our first trip back to i.e. after their reopening aka my long awaited reunion with the beloved mushroom cappelletti. The vibe is dim industrial chic mixed with a warm open kitchen modern feel. We made a reservation for 9pm but came at 8:45pm and they were able to seat us early. For an app we got the salmon carpaccio. The salmon was melt-in-your-mouth good and paired well with the italian salsa verde, cucumber, and fried garlic. It was light, fresh, and not too filling for a pasta entree afterwards. I got the mushroom cappelletti and my husband got the caserecce. The mushroom cappelletti is a DREAM. The cappelletti pasta (cousin to tortellini) is cooked perfectly al dente, stuffed with earthy savory mushroom filling, and topped with an indulgent rich cream sauce. I will unfortunately never will try anything else on the menu because ordering something else would be a wasted chance to have my favorite dish again. A must try. For the caserecce the lamb was tender and flavorful and the sauce was the perfect amount of spice. The romano cheese complemented the slight gamey taste of lamb well. For a side we got the baby turnips. The savory sweet sauce they were cooked in complemented both of our dishes well and was way more delicious than we expected. Would get again. For dessert, we got the crostata al limone and the 90 day aged house-made limoncello. If you are a lemon lover this is a perfect combo. For me, the limoncello was a bit of sinus cleansing but cool to try out. The crostata was excellent, I could really taste the pine nuts in the crust and my husband who normally doesn't love citrus desserts was a fan! Our server also got us a scoop of the strawberry Dream Creamery ice cream with a candle in it for our anniversary which was super nice. Service was friendly and top notch as always! The waitress helped us choose wines that complemented our food selections and was gracious enough to bring me back a copy of the menu when I wanted to take a photo of it for this review . read more

I have heard really great things about ie so we had a free evening & put our names down. They grabbed our number but didn't read it back to us, we waited for about 45 minutes before returning to them sharing the text didn't go through and so we missed our table. I was starving at that point and ready to leave when they said they could still fit us in which was very accommodating of them. The vibe is very cozy italian with modern accents. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive with waitstaff helping to fill waters etc. We got a few appetizers that I would highly recommend! Meatballs were so tasty and the bread was soo delicious. I was too hungry to take photos of the entrees but my nephew got the spaghetti nero, my husband the mushroom cappelleti, and I got the bucatini. My husband really enjoyed his dish even though there wasn't a whole lot to eat to be honest, the portion was tiny. My nephews spaghetti had an interesting kick to it that was a surprise but overall pretty good with the seafood. My Bucatini was really terrible and bland.. it was really disappointing and I didn't eat more than three bites before my husband said we could take it home, add some more flavor and he'd try to fix it. Overall a bummer and won't be back. read more
