Was visiting friends when we went here - reservations are a must. My group started with delicate, clean (no grit) oysters. Each of us ordered a different pasta dish so I got to taste deliciousness all around! Pasta was perfectly firm and the sauces were rich and flavorful. My wine was recommended by our server and it was just right. The restaurant seating is comfortable and spaced well beyond hearing others' conversations. It is on the dark side so I was the nerd with her phone light on to see the menu! My friends have returned since this visit and were very happy with their experience once again. read more

Amazing salmon piccata and an NA Old Fashion. This place is beautiful. We sat at the bar and had amazing service. The salmon piccata was absolutely stunning! It is nice that there are NA cocktails available. We really enjoyed ourselves! read more

Red Rabbit Minneapolis - Amazing!!!! - Italian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

My chicken parm was delicious and the blue cheese olives with my martini made me happy.

It was a very pleasant experience except our waiter was eager to go home and was very impatient that we stayed long (not past the closing long, just during the normal business hours). 1. Good food/drinks Cheese board wasn't impressive. Roasted cauliflower: was so huge in portion. It is the entire full cauliflower in its full glory, I was shocked to see it. A bit of a work to cut and eat it, but tastes amazing. It needs to be shared, I dare you eat the whole thing alone. Old fashioned was actually surprisingly good. They have full bar, so you can get most drinks you'd like here. 2. Service Somehow from the get-go, our server was so rushed and obviously needed to get off work early that day. It made our experience very uncomfortable. The food was good, place was good, great weather for patio and company was good, but when the server gets agitated more we order was very weird to say the least. Constantly moving and cleaning the table that is already clean next to ours was like a sign to tell us to get the f*** off. At the end, we couldn't take it anymore and moved to the bar inside. The other waiter was perfectly fine and there were many patrons on his side of the patio still left. Bartender inside was super nice. 3. Atmosphere It is a straight up normal bar look inside and very comfortable and cozy patio outside. highly recommend to sit outside. All in all, I'd come back here for food and good drinks, but will be very observant and cautious before sitting down to avoid the moody server. 4. Reservation/ Parking No need to reserve, never seen this place all that packed up. Parking is paid street parking. read more

Truly yummy pizza. I'm really picky about pizza. I have tried most in the twin cities area this is one of a handful that I even like. And this one Iove. read more

Food: We are lovers of the St Paul Red Rabbit and finally gave Minneapolis a try before a show this evening. The spicy salami pizza was a little weaker than St Paul with a less generous helping of cheese on the top as we've had in the past. But the main courses were excellent; the salmon was delicious and juicy and I love the grain salad it's paired with. My boyfriend likes the Shrimp Garganelli with their house sausage added. It's an explosion of flavor. Those are our three favorites, and 100% worth trying out. Venue: A very small parking lot, plan for street parking. They have a small patio area. I do like that this Red Rabbit has a distinct separate room for the bar area and a separate dining room. read more

I love coming to red rabbit! The food is good, the ambience is good, and the waitstaff is friendly. The garlic bread cheese curds are a particular fave. They also offer gluten free options for most of their menu items! read more

My wife and I were in town for her birthday and we stopped by Red Rabbit based on a recommendation from some friends. And let me tell you, sublime. After not being able to figure how to work the online reservations we arrived to Red Rabbit and encountered a packed house. The hostess said it would be an hour long wait, but it only turned out to be 20 minutes. Plus, they send you a text when your table is ready so you can mill about the neighborhood while you wait. It was a win win situation. The atmosphere was awesome. You can go for a friends' night out, a date night, a family function, or anything you desire. It's a bit loud, so just be aware that you may have to project a bit. Our waiter, Jared, was phenomenal. He was very kind, attentive, and had good recommendations. Top 10 waiter I've ever had. Per his recommendation we ordered the pizza rolls as an appetizer because they were out of the burrata. The pizza rolls were not as you'd expect. They were a sort of pepperoni roll up with cheese on top served in a cast iron skillet, with the sauce on the far. Far exceeding expectations. Definitely recommend. My wife ordered the Italian sausage cavatelli, some reviews said it lacked flavor, but we disagreed and loved the spicy sausage. Note: they go heavy on the olive oil, but it's still great. I ordered the chicken parmesan with pasta on the side. Oh my. So good and so plentiful. They give you two chicken breasts and I was only able to finish one of them! I would definitely order the side of pasta because it pairs well with the chicken. 10/10 would recommend. We'd come back in a heartbeat! read more

Service & Look of restaurant is phenomenal but they're oysters are absolutely disgusting and i LOVE oysters sooo much, i can usually eat 20 oysters but they have disgusting oysters.. their cocktail sauce tastes nasty as well, my partner didnt care for the salami pizza either but the calamari was 10/10, dont waste ur money on oysters there GO TO SPOON AND STABLE FOR AN AMAZING DINNER!! (if u wanna try R.R oysters GO DURING HAPPY HOUR LIKE I DID ITS $8) im glad i only spent $16 read more

Honestly, I'm giving RR 5 stars simply because delivery is so freakin' fast. We live in south Minneapolis (almost Richfield) and the food from the North Loop location gets here faster than joints in our neck of the woods. Since I'm a simple guy, my go-to's are pepperoni pizza, wings with this amazing Parmesan dipping sauce (great also for the pizza crust), and Italian chopped salad. I've been to the North Loop location and dined outside and it's pretty good overall. read more

Found this gem of a place looking through yelp. So glad we stopped. Everything was excellent- the vibe, setvice, and food!! We tried the burrata appetizer, chopped salad, spicy salami pizza, and cavatappi. All were amazing. Price point was reasonable for the quality. Will definitely come back read more

There is lots to like about this place. The bar has a great comfy vibe and the selection of wine and cocktails is really great. We stopped in early on a perfect-weather Thursday hoping to score a table on the nice patio. We ended up waiting about 45 min which was totally fine-we sat at the bar, had some of the sweet and savory bar nuts an a couple of cocktails and easily passed the time. The patio has only a few tables (which are all under the control of the hostess) but also some open seating at some comfy couches that are first come first serve. The patio was about half shaded at 6:30 but their were large umbrellas to help out the other tables. Service was super friendly and the food (mostly pastas and pizzas very reasonably priced. I enjoyed the Gemelli (cream based pasta with ham, sun dried tomatoes and peas), my wife raves about the spicy sausage in the cavatelli while her mom enjoyed a glutten free option. Recommended. read more

Red Rabbit downtown Minneapolis pleasantly surprised me. I've been to the St Paul location many times but I actually prefer Minneapolis now! I went on a Saturday night at 7 pm without a reservation and waited about 45 minutes. Grabbed a drink at the bar and the wait flew by. Love the big booths! Feels very private. The pasta gives vibes that it's made in house (can't confirm if thats true but idgaf if its true or not it taste like they are and thats good enough for me)! I always get the Cavatelli, in the picture below I have a little leftover burrata on it. Other hits; Shrimp Garganelli, fettuccine Alfredo (trust), and the Bolognese. Absolutely 0 idea if the oysters are good but they claim they are. Enjoy! read more

We could all use a little comfort food right about now. Thankfully, Red Rabbit is here to feed to masses (literally, they offer an expansive take and bake menu to feed hungry families of 4-6). Living nearby, I had probably walked by a hundred times before biting the bullet and giving it a try. This is not because I didn't want to - in fact that couldn't be further from the truth. I had browsed their menu over-and-over, each time becoming a little more indecisive on what I wanted in the moment. During a recent rainy weekend, I walked over after placing an online pickup order for two. Known for their savory pizzas and pastas, I opted for the meat-free Impossible Bolognese and Spicy Salami pizza. I've been in a real cauliflower kick recently so I threw in an order of the Roasted Cauliflower as well. SERVICE: Service was friendly, prompt and used great social distancing practices (pickup is through a back patio window). Several parties were ahead of me but my order arrived right on time. They have dedicated parking right by the restaurant, which is a plus, but it's also very walkable and bike-friendly from elsewhere in the North Loop, Downtown East/Mill District, Northeast and downtown. FOOD: The restaurant champions it's dedication to using local and fresh ingredients and it delivers. I've never ordered an Impossible Bolognese and haven't eaten red meat in over 15 years, but it tasted just as rich, hearty and satisfying as I can remember of a traditional order. The Roasted Cauliflower is a giant half head covered in delicious pistachio mousse, olive oil, rosemary and tumeric. I was told the Spicy Salami was full of flavor, from the large salami cuts and heaping helpings of ricotta, to the warm crust. The spicy honey on top delivers a nice kick. VALUE: Red Rabbit can be a budget-friendly option for singles and families, depending on how they order. Traditional pies and pasta are very affordable and deliver on large servings ($13-$17). More unique dishes like the cauliflower, and cocktail kits can be quite spendy. Add in gluten-free crust and meat, and prices can balloon closer to $25. But make no mistake, this is destination that has helped put its North Loop neighborhood on the map, so I'm fine with paying extra to support a local biz that gives back and brings customers to the area. EXTRAS: From take and bake to cocktail kits and grocery items (they sell single roll toilet paper, among other household staples) Red Rabbit has adapted well to COVID-19. A true one stop shop for Italian family meals, with a twist. read more

I cannot believe that I haven't been to Red Rabbit yet until today. Where have I been going all these years? From the moment we walked in I could tell I was going to really like this place. Their ambiance is set right away with dark lighting, comfortable seating, and melancholic decor that really works well together. You could come here for a date or for a casual dinner with friends. We were seated then greeted by the friendliest waiter I've had in a long time. He was energetic, open to questions, and super knowledgeable of the food, favors, drinks, just everything on the menu. When we asked questions, he was patient and didn't seem annoyed or impatient like some wait staff are when you ask questions. The service along already spoke for itself. He asked us if we wanted sparkling or still water and convinced us to do sparkling with a real lemon and lime added, super nice touch. Onto the food. Their menu is separated into starters, salads, oysters, pasta, pizza, desserts, etc. Easy to read and follow. We decided to go with the shrimp garganelli pasta and the Yukon gold pizza. To start, we did the pasta croquettes. The croquettes were so unique and flavorful. It was a pesto pasta in a deep fried ball form with delicious red sauce around it. You get 3 per order and they were worth a try. The shrimp garganelli was amazing. Honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while (I've been to Italy so I have high pasta AND pizza standards). Pizza was also amazing...I moved the pancetta to my friend's pieces since I don't eat meat but even without it, it was bursting with the most interesting combo of flavors. I would order that again for sure. Woodfired pizza is the way to go and Red Rabbit does it right. Overall, I'm 100% coming back here when I want some good pizza and good pasta. I couldn't be happier with my experience! read more

We went for brunch. it was hard to decide between sweet breakfast treats like the french toast or the savory options. I went with the breakfast bowl with fried lentils which were delightful. Excellent brunch cocktails as well. Our server was really helpful and the place was cute. read more

Was super excited to try a new restaurant... Unfortunately looks are deceiving. We got the woodfired chicken wings which were greasy and the skin was very rubbery. My husband had the salmon with gnocchi and I had the halibut with puttanesca sauce. The gnocchi was good. The salmon and halibut both had an overpowering grilled flavor, making them nearly in edible. The meal was not good from start to finish... We will not be returning. read more

Great place for delicious food and a nice date! Walked right in on a weeknight without a reservation, seated in a cozy corner. We started with the garlic bread cheese curds which were nicely crunchy on the outside with a gooey cheesy inside, probably could have used a bit more garlic. We tried the spicy salami pizza which had great flavor (wasn't actually very spicy) and the cavatelli with really delicious sausage in it that had a nice fennel flavor. Drinks were also solid, the espresso martini is very sweet but has a rich coffee flavor and the figgin good time was really tasty with a good amount of alcohol. read more

Drive up service was among the most efficient I've seen yet during Covid-19. Order online, pull up curbside, staff greeting, they went inside and brought out our order. Fast and smooth. We got take and bake lasagna. It was delicious. Came with huge arugula salad and ample garlic bread. Plenty enough for leftovers. And bonus - my kitchen smells wonderful too! read more

The pizza rolls with the red sauce were incredible. I'd come back just for those. The chicken parmesan was a big portion and cooked really well, the mostaccioli was delicious but could've used a bit more sauce. Cocktails were tasty and they had a good beer selection. read more

Great place to come for appetizers like Burrata or if you're looking for a good pizza and pasta to share with 1-2 others!

We enjoyed this quiet patio around noon on a Saturday. We tried the burrata with broccoli pesto, cheese pizza and shrimp fettuccine! All were fabulous. Our pizza came with an unfortunate flaw and they not only made another quickly, allowed us to keep both, but also comped the entire pizza as well. This was very kind of them. I also enjoyed two VirGin Tonic mock tails that went down too easily on this warm day! We highly recommend this place for many reasons including their service. Our server was attentive, helpful and delivered an excellent experience. read more

We came in for appetizers and were delighted by their garlic bread cheese curls... initially suspicious, the server insisted they were awesome. She was right. Also well done was the burrata with a Calabrian chimichurri & basil oil - off beat and on the mark. Their wines by the glass had some good choices that did not break the bank. Friendly service let us linger. T-Shirts are hysterical. Note that they do add a "mandate compliance surcharge" without really telling you what that is, only that it does not go to the employees. I generally hate stuff like that - just raise your prices a bit so I can tell what I'm paying up front... read more

Red Rabbit is brought to you by the owners of Red Cow. They specialize in pizzas and pastas. I've been here once for late night on a snow April evening. It was pretty dead due to the foot of snow that night. I ordered the Yukon Gold Pizza - rosemary oil, yukon gold shreds, pancetta, red onion, fontina, runny egg. The runny egg is the best part. I love runny eggs. Runny eggs on anything makes the world go round. Runny eggs on ramen, on burrito, on pizza, on rice...you name it. Food came decently fast. Hot and fresh. The pizza size is typical of a personal pizza size. It might not be filling for certain people. I was satisfied. Not stuff, nor was I starving. Pizza was cut into squares for me. When compared to Pizzeria Lola and Young Joni. I think it's slightly underwhelming. Lola and Joni are a tad bit better in terms of taste and offerings of pizza choices. Definitely worth a try though! read more

From brunch to great Italian dinners, Red Rabbit doesn't disappoint. I have been to Red Rabbit multiple times and continues to be a spot for all of our out of town guests. Their variety of options in food and drink make it a great group spot. You might need to save up a little, because you'll want to try everything. They can get a little busy, so just prepare for a little wait and know your wait staff if working hard. read more

I cannot explain how wonderful this spot was. The friend that recommended it described it as 'surprisingly kid friendly' and she was entirely correct. Kids menu and drink menu make a good stop! We got drinks and kids meals all around and had a great time. The Alfredo was fantastic, and the garlic knot cheese curds surprised me. I'm glad we got them once, but I don't know that I'd describe them as curds. Yummy though! read more

My sons and I were able to get a table quickly on a weeknight right at dinner time. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We started with the Garlic Bread Cheese Curds because they sounded interesting. These are a must get! I'm not sure how to even describe them. Unlike the typical fried cheese curds, these are crispy squares embedded with garlic bread pieces. See my pics. Just get them! My sons got pizzas that were Neapolitan style and very very good. I got the Chicken Parmesan that is essentially their signature dish and that the Star Tribune called the best in the Twin Cities. You get two large chicken breasts, no sides because of the size of the dish. I don't know that it's the best chicken parm in the area, but it's definitely very good. I would have liked a little more melted cheese and the breading tasted like it had been cooked at too high a temperature. Not burned, but over browned. The breast meat was cooked perfectly and moist. Would definitely go back if in the area. read more

Our party of six had reservations for my birthday and decided to check out Red Rabbit. I drive past this restaurant every day on my way to work but had never checked it out. I was happy to see plenty of options that fit every dietary need in our group. I felt like the service was a little slow for it being during the week. We started with several different types of drinks (too many to list), all you need to know is that everything was good! We also started with two orders of the garlic cheese curds ($11) and they were delicious. I highly recommend ordering them. We also ordered a caeser salad ($11.50) that was just okay. My sister ordered the Mostaccioli ($16) but was given a Bolognese ($14) the server offered to make a new one but honestly it took so long to get the first one we didn't want to wait, we were given a discount. The vegan pizza was delicious (16.25) and the breakfast pizza was even better ($15) the pepperoni pizza also wasn't bad ($13.50) but wasn't amazing. The chocolate torte ($8) came with a fruity spread which wasn't good and I was disappointed because it wasn't listed on the menu. I wish I had known it would be coming with it because I would have passed. Overall our food was good and I would come back with a smaller group during the week in hopes of fast service. read more
