Usually it was because they don't take reservations and the wait time is super long. We ended up giving it a try on a whim on a weeknight and so glad we did! We were able to enjoy a late dinner on the patio. Service was wonderful and the bread basket is a nice start. Ordered the Caesar to split and the artichoke (a new favorite thing to order out). We also ordered the gnocchi to split. It was good, but very very salty. We had enough to take home for leftovers. I will be coming back soon, lots more pastas to try!

However we had to split a group of 12 over 2 tables which was unfortunate. My table ordered the calamari and margarita pizza to start. Both were tasted however the pizza crust was thin but not crispy as it flopped over and dropped half of my cheese and tomato topping. As main I ordered the herb linguine with braised lamb. Overall very tasty and the pasta was cooked just a tad before al dente but still good. Service was impeccable and definitely a place to go to again. But remember make a reservation as the place was packed, even on a Monday night in downtown Minneapolis.

The spring menu is full of fresh ingredients in the sauces and pasta fillings. I had the artichoke cheese pasta with a spicy creamy spinach sauce and let me tell you, it was PERFECT! Pasta was Al dente, filling was perfectly portioned and the creamy spinach sauce was light and spicy! For appetizer we had the fried polenta and it took me back to my childhood in my Italian grandma's kitchen. Cause that was a snack grandma would make for us. Chocolate pana cota was a pleasant surprise with a drizzle of olive oil on top, it was an explosion of flavors!

They weren't able to do that with the burrata pasta due to the burrata ball on top which was completely fine! Both pasta dishes were tasty but the lemon pesto burrata blew me away. Every bite was absolutely incredible and it's such a unique dish that's hard to find somewhere else or replicate at home. I completely recommend giving it a try. The focaccia bread appetizer was also amazing! We added & paid for a few extra pieces to accommodate the size of our group and everyone absolutely loved it. The drinks were also really well done & strong without being overly stiff. They were really well mixed and tasty. Our server was so sweet and helped make the experience so special for us. I cannot wait to come back!

Even sitting outside, the service was attentive and welcoming. I was craving something light, healthy, and refreshing, and ended up ordering the Beet Steak salad -- it was SO good and honestly the highlight of my experience! The inside of the restaurant is just as cute and stylish as the patio, with a warm atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Since Eato is especially known for their Italian dishes, I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more from the menu!

Tucked away in its own little corner of North Loop, there is some paid parking directly outside otherwise walking from nearby street parking is possible too! The interior of the space is whimsical and fun with green and pink interior design elements, gold accents, and fun artwork! It truly feels like a special escape from reality when inside...similar to an Alice in Wonderland experience. Our server was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about what to order. I particularly appreciated how our pasta came out in intentional courses from lightest to heaviest. It absolutely elevated the meal to top notch. Known for their handmade pasta, we didn't mess around with any other menu items...we just ordered four different plates of pasta: Doppio, Torteletti, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, and Tajarin! The Doppio was my favorite, with a unique double filled pasta that had a savory sunchoke filling highlighted with a pop of whipped ricotta. The Rigatoni was cozy and warm, serving up perfect comfort food vibes. The Tajarin was the ocean in a bowl and my partner's favorite, but it was a bit too salty for my palate. The food was top notch and the environment was stellar, but I did feel a bit of cognitive dissonance. The food was so grounded, earthy, and cozy yet the interior was whimsical, playful, and ethereal. This disconnect took my out of the experience a bit. Add in that the price points are a bit high, and I could see why some might have different expectations. Overall, I'm glad Dario is taking swings at providing something truly unique to the North Loop! I will absolutely be returning!

Start with an array of tastings with the lobster pasta, then the delicious flavors of the lamb cuisine, and of course the halibut fish option is oooh so good. We concluded our food extravaganza of culinary excellence with the decadent but light chocolate cake, and the coconut sorbet and the another delicious cake dessert. The ambience and excitement of the environment styled restaurant and atmosphere lends itself to a pleasant and fun space to kiki with friends. The service was fun and the handsome staff and beautiful hostess made our experience so welcoming and awesome. Dario is the place to be for any dinner, lunch, weekend social or just for a fun delicious food experience.

I wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor patio as the dining room was a bit loud and dim, but that seems to be part of the restaurant's modern rustic Italian aesthetic. As for the food and service, everything was top-notch. Our order was taken promptly and both our drinks and dishes arrived quickly without feeling rushed. I ordered the spirit-free Lavender Revolution, which leaned a little sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The burrata was outstanding--light, refreshing, and incredible on the toasted bread. The calamari was equally impressive -- perfectly seasoned, crispy, and tender with every bite. For our entrée, we shared the Vodka Rigatoni with added shrimp and it was absolutely delicious--rich, fresh, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Overall Red Rabbit delivered a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. We can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu!

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.

I've held off on writing this review because I wanted to make sure that I put the right words to the story Spoon and Stable helped me build for my ten year wedding anniversary. My husband and I like to do quirky celebrations, and for ten years of marriage I wanted to celebrate it and spend time being intentional about the growth and love we've shared for this decade of life together. To say Spoon and Stable hit it out of the park is an understatement. We got a space near the kitchen to watch the chefs make the magic happen, and EACH dish was simply incredible. I have never in my life had an eyes closed "MMMMMM" moment, but I had multiple moments of wow all starting with drinks at the bar and ending with a perfect desert that we took with us. Don't skip the oysters, don't skip the extras, don't skip the witty banter with your service staff, DON'T SKIP OUT ON THIS PLACE. It is absolutely worth every single penny.
