Husband enjoyed Leinie's beer. We shared a pizza fry with marinara as an appetizer. Very cheesy but lacked garlic flavor. Plenty to eat and have as leftover. I had the personal size chicken bacon ranch pizza on the thin crust. (Not as thin or crispy as I would have liked but still good). Husband had Lasagna with garlic cheese bread and loved it. He had the single size & took plenty home for leftover. Signs said they have pizza and salad buffet on weekdays. Seemed like carry out business was booming also. (They may have a drive up window). Definitely worth a stop if in the area.

The positive was that my Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection and tasted as it should. The concerns were that while advertised as an 8 oz cut, there is zero chance of this, more like 5 oz. - I'd also say that the potatoes lacked any real depth, just an average potato - and lastly the side veggie was some very sad and bland half sized roasted squash that truly lacked inspiration. Again, I'm will to maybe let the veggie and the potatoes go, as they were a to go situation but the size of the steak and the portions in general underwhelmed for a $43 dish.

Ok, here we go... In Eau Claire Wisconsin on business and Yelping to find an acceptable place for a…read morebusiness dinner with good friends. What pops up?? Mona Lisa! Asked some locals as well and the consensus was confirmed. We arrived early and spent an hour at the bar conversing with the staff. All friendly, all funny, all helpful. Popped over to the attached vintage antique/clothing store and found a cool shirt! The 6 of us sat down just after 6pm and started our culinary feast. Multiple appetizers, all fabulous including the Brussels, the Artichoke Hearts, the Pork Belly, the Focaccia Bread. I had the Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Chicken and quizzed my companions on their dishes to an enthusiastic thumbs up. There was the Gnocchi, the Carbonara, the Parmigiana.... All a solid YUMM! How was the service??? Top Notch? 5 Star?? Yes! Thank you Grace for honoring us with your fantastic service, attentiveness, humor, and smile! The atmosphere was also beautiful, soft, homey, nostalgic. If you are ever in Eau Claire, don't miss out on this amazing restaurant! Cheers

Cool place, but I have share my disappointment…read more First of all BEWARE of the automatic 18% Tip! The amount didn't bother me, in fact I always tip more than that! it's that no one told me it was there! I'm sure it's on the menu, but the writing is so small on their menus that I really couldn't read the meal description, much less the add tips message that might have been on there somewhere! But either way, I do think the staff should share this information when you get the bill. I've read other Yelpers that didn't see this and unknowingly added an extra 20%. Second, it's very loud in this restaurant, at least at the bar where I ate. A number of large tables are located in the bar area and with the wood floor and high ceilings it amplifying the normal discussions. it was really hard to hear or understand the bartender. (It might be better in the actual dining room). Didn't feel like drinking tonight, so I had an iced tea. Have to say this is one of the few places that I know of that charges for tea refills! (Once again not shared) Nobody (staff) that worked here had a smile in their face. Everybody seemed to be walking around with blank expressions. Sitting at the bar I got to see most everyone that worked there and no one looked like they wanted to be there. My bartender did check in with me to see if I enjoyed the first few bites of my app and then my meal and then again when she gave me the bill. Lastly, the food was not great. The Frites (fries) appetizer was way overdone. The fries were very crunchy and maybe would have been tasty if they were not so crispy. And at $13 they were way over priced. Definitely not worth it. My Merlot Beef was also sub par. The picture on the website shows a nicely presented pasta dish, (in fact I had it picked out before I came). but what I was served was more of a beef stroganoff swimming in a brown gravy-like sauce. . The meat was also overdone, lacking flavor and chewy. This meal should have been served with a spoon, not a fork! Please bring back the chef that made the meal in the picture on your website... that looked a lot better!! I came here on a recommendation from a local, but this was a major let down! Maybe a bad night? Maybe I made bad meal choices, because on the website menu everything looked very good. I did see a lot of people eating flatbread pizzas. That might be your best bet.

I've been meaning to come here for a while and have heard rave reviews from friends and family. I…read morewas happy to hear that my wife secured reservations for us and another couple to try the restaurant out for the first time. Being the former Basil restaurant space, the interior is more intimate, darkly lit and a sure romantic spot for date night. The waitress was prompt and helpful selecting drinks off of their menu, inclusive of wine, beer and craft cocktails. Everyone at our table ordered a different drink or glass of wine and there were no complaints. For appetizers I ordered a bruschetta, which was served on a very crispy slice of seasoned bread. What was interesting was that the tomato topping (which was perfectly seasoned with basil, garlic and other spices) was served in a bowl on the side to allow everyone to top to their taste preference. It was a nice touch. We also sampled the cheese curds, which held up well to our Wisconsin standards, and a soup which I can't remember the name of but got high marks. Now for the main course. I was not expecting to be mind blown, by my god. The namesake dish, the Osso Bucco, was absolutely phenomenal. The veal was literally falling off of the bone and was easily, effortlessly separated with a fork. I have rarely had meat this tender. On the other side of the bowl was a fantastic risotto and a perfectly seasoned stew of carrots and onions. I did not indulge in the bone marrow, but I have heard it is a delicacy. Altogether this dish was worth every penny, and I will absolutely be having it again. To finish off this fantastic meal we opted for the tiramisu, which was elegantly plated in a creative manner I have never before seen. I enjoyed the wonderful ending to this delicious meal, and when you visit this restaurant I'm sure you will too.

I had the seafood stew, and it was quite underwhelming; it was more of an under-seasoned pasta dish. The bay scallops and shrimp were pretty tough and overcooked, BUT whatever whitefish was in the dish was outstanding. My hubby had a Caesar salad and the scallops entree. Both were wonderfully executed. The dressing on the salad was the perfect amount, lettuce crisp, and just plainly done well. And the scallops were perfect. Elaboration would take away from what was just 'muah.' :) Server was attentive, but not overly pushy. Ambiance was low key, quiet, and warm.

"It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." (The Godfather)…read more At Sapori di Sicilia, the message is considerably more appetizing: "Eat the pasta and nobody gets hurt." Walking in for the first time, I half-expected owner Eric Mullen to greet me with cotton-stuffed cheeks and a brooding stare. Instead -- as one Yelp reviewer memorably noted -- Eric looks like he's straight out of Super Mario, more likely to trade you a heavenly mocha for three gold coins than make you an offer you can't refuse. After a four-month pilgrimage to Italy in 2018 to learn the art of Sicilian cooking, Mullen returned to Winona and opened Sapori in 2020, filling a gap in the local food scene roughly the size of a horse head in a mobster's bed. The city desperately needed authentic Italian food, and Sapori delivered. No favors owed. No strings attached. *This time.* Everything here is made by hand: pasta, sauces, bread, pastries, and the gelato. The whole operation, with no shortcuts. The Bronze-cut Pasta: It clings to the sauce with the loyalty of a wartime consigliere who knows exactly where the bodies are buried. The pistachio pesto stands out, though it could use a touch more olive oil or pasta water. A minor grievance that doesn't warrant a trip to the river bottom in concrete shoes. The Pastries and Cakes: Genuinely dangerous. The Mascarpone cheesecake and chocolate cake slice are to die for -- and I mean that in the most Sicilian sense possible. Eat them. Tell no one. The Gelato: Should be under federal investigation. Light, creamy, and so authentically Italian it practically has its own accent. The pale green pistachio is rich, nutty, and deeply serious about its heritage. The Vibe: Warm. Hospitable. A real hit, but with zero cleanup crews required. The Verdict: Leave the gun. And for the love of all that is holy, take the cake and gelato too. You don't need a passport, a secret handshake, or a letter of introduction from a guy who knows a guy. Just show up hungry and show the proper respect.

I grew up in Iowa, and our favorite Aunt lives close by in Clear Lake, Wi. I have been eating here…read moremy entire life. It's delicious! I am now gluten-free, so I can't enjoy their pasta. However, I LOVED their ravioli and cavatelli as a kid. Their sauce is absolutely perfect--I wish I could recreate it. When I go now, I take my cooked GF pasta, and they serve it up with their sauce and a side of sausage--which is to die for. This place is a little hidden gem. If you're in the area, make sure to stop in. You won't be disappointed. I am going to nominate it for Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. I would love to see this small town standby on the Food Network!

Cheese and raisin ravioli or chicken? If you know, you know. This is a Cumberland staple since I…read morewas a very young child. The Italian culture shines through as you can order just about any type of pasta here but the staple items tend to be ravioli and cavatille. The sausage is 100% made in house but many believe it comes from Louie's Meats, which is not true. Normally, I'd get a meatball with my pasta but not here. Sausage all the time! Many of the meals are served with a side salad and a basket of breadsticks for the entire table. Recently under new ownership, there has been a slight uptick in menu options and Bona Casa now carries pesto sauce (which previously never existed) along with a facelift of decor. The staff here works extremely hard for their customers. If you're in the area, swing by! They still have their frozen options, take outs and classic pizzelles.
