I've been here a few times and the food is fantastic. We look forward to stopping again. You know a place is good when it's always busy.

Stopped by Red Rabbit to satisfy a craving for pasta and it didn't disappoint! It's a cozy date night spot and has a nice area for outdoor seating. We were seated quickly and our server gave us great recommendations. We split two dishes between two of us, so my pictures show half portions of the Cavatelli and the Bolognese. We were brought freshly cracked pepper at the table, which was lovely. Both dishes were tasty, with the pastas cooked al dente. The Cavatelli is a little on the salty side so I personally preferred the Bolognese. Metered street parking, lots, and ramps are available in the area! read more

Red Rabbit MN delivered playful, well-balanced dishes. The PB&J pizza was a fun sweet‑savory surprise, the broccolini was perfectly charred and crisp, and the roasted carrots were rich, caramelized, and unexpectedly standout. Overall: simple ingredients done with intention and personality. Be ready for meter parking, on site parking is very limited. read more

I love this spot! It can be a little hectic at first with parking and then getting a table, but it's all worth it. My absolute favorite thing here is the garlic bread cheese curds. They are amazing! All of the pasta options are great as well. The atmosphere is lovely and service is always super nice. read more

Beautiful restaurant with nice interior and yummy pastas. We each ordered a pasta and a house salad to share. Salad was super fresh and delicious - crunchy with the pumpkin seeds and pancetta and fresh dressing, one of the better salads I have ever had. Overall rating: House Salad 8.5/10 Shrimp pasta 7.5/10 Butternut squash ravioli with chicken 7/10 The shrimp pasta has four shrimps that were cooked nicely but that barely covers the protein portion - it was steep at $20. The butternut squash was alright imo, and you gotta add protein separately. Service was good and the space is gorgeous though. read more

I ordered takeout from Red Rabbit during my recent trip to Minneapolis. I was intrigued by the concept of garlic bread cheese curds, so I pulled the trigger and ordered dinner from here. In addition to the garlic bread cheese curds, I ordered fettuccine alfredo. The garlic bread cheese curds were definitely different and unlike anything I have tried before. I say that in the best way possible--I will think about them for the foreseeable future. read more

Oops looks like I already reviewed this a year ago! Just shows how much I love it! Great pasta (cavateli is my favorite), pizza (even the vegan one), dessert, and cocktails. They have some really fun specials around the holidays too, with their 12 days of cocktails. I also recommend trying to go for happy hour. Sometimes it can get busy, and I wish they'd bring back their virtual waitlist since they don't take reservations. But as long as you're okay being seated at the bar or in a high top you can usually get a spot for 1-2 people easily. read more

Atmosphere was cozy and inviting. My wife and I got the calamari appetizer and I have to say it is now competing for the best calamari I've had in Minnesota. The breading was light and the meat was a mix of larger melt in your mouth slices and smaller baby squid that were crispy and delicious. I ordered the salmon piccata and loved it! The salmon Was a quality portion and cooked well. The lemony sauce was creamy but not too heavy and matched well with a capers. Two top things off they offered complementary sparkling water which of course won me over! Excellent and fast service as well. Overall an amazing experience. read more

10/10. **** -THIS REVIEW WILL REFLECT THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE I RECEIVED TONIGHT*** I came into this restaurant on a busy Saturday night with a pick up order. I was greeted right away and staff were diligent about making sure my pick up order was ready. After several minutes there was a bit of confusion. Well it turns out I orders for the Saint Paul location by mistake. Most would think there would be no way to fix this mistake. However the staff and management are forward thinkers and absolute professionals in how they conduct their business. Instead of having me cancel my order and repaying for it, the manager I spoke with whose name is Allen or AL helped me out right away. After a brief conversation with Al he was able to push a new order of food at the Minneapolis Location without delay. I spoke with the Saint Paul manager who was also helpful. Ultimately, I cancelled the order in Saint Paul which was given to staff to enjoy (they definitely deserve it) and I was able to get my food from Minneapolis. This is what the service industry is all about. You now have a customer for life based on this small interaction. The food was also fire too but I just wanted to highlight how great of service I received on a busy Saturday night during what almost seemed like chaotic time of service. read more

Red Rabbit is a Minneapolis staple, without question, so this may only be the first of several features. It's been a memorable date night, mother-daughter night out, pre-Les Miserables meet up, and (most recently) giggly Saturday girls night. They don't take reservations which can be a bummer, but fear not; the time passes quickly with a glass of wine in hand. I've never been disappointed with the food -or drinks, but I admittedly have only tried one or two red wines. During previous dining experiences, I have been wowed by the chicken parm, grilled broccolini, and bolognese. Most recently, I got the pear and Gorgonzola salad with farro and candied pecans and good heavens. Another fav was the glazed carrots Drinks: aperol Spritz, red blend, vodka soda Food: pear and Gorgonzola salad, glazed carrots w/ goat cheese, shrimp garganelli, GF sausage cavatelli (many dishes can be made GF:) read more

4.5. Kitchen does the business. Comfort food out the wazoo along with efficient service from the entire team. Dark dining room provides a fine backdrop. For dessert, you'll want them zeppoles. Yes, you will. read more

Online reservations aren't available, so plan to arrive early during peak hours. A neighborhood favorite for the North Loop. You can expect delicious food and inviting hospitality. Friday night about 35+ min wait. Grabbing drinks made the wait more enjoyable. They have a wide selection of wines, cocktails, beers, CBD sparkling water, THC seltzers, and mocktails. We had a wonderful birthday celebration for my mother in law. She loved how warm and inviting it felt inside. Our order came out quickly. Definitely check out their Wood Grilled Wings, it's up for an award. Mostaccioli (award winning marinara) and Roasted Cauliflower were the family favorites. Everything was deliciously simple, so incredibly nostalgic, comforting, and flavorful. Thanks Red Rabbit for making our night special. read more

Reliable choice for Italian delivery with flavorful pasta and solid pizza options. The garlic bread is definitely the standout item here! That said, delivery times can be a bit hit-or-miss, and I've had a few issues with missing items in my orders. It's a great spot for an easy dinner, but a bit more consistency would go a long way. read more

Had lunch with a customer today at RR, 3rd time I had been there and has not disappointed. Many of the guys got their famous chicken parmesan, all loved it. I had the grinder sandwich, excellent as well. I have had the Itilain chopped salad before, which I also would recommend. Next time I plan to try a pizza, the mortadella one looked pretty good! Service has also been spot on. Looking forward to taking my wife some time soon. read more

Great food and atmosphere at Red Rabbit Minneapolis! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the flavors were rich, and the service was friendly and fast. Definitely a go-to spot for Italian in Minneapolis. read more

This place lives up to the hype! Our party of 5 was surprisingly seated right away on a Saturday evening, but I do recommend making a reservation if possible since it's a busy place! The patio is heated and wonderfully warm. The burrata was a delicious appetizer and our party split 3 pizzas. The mushroom was our favorite! Spicy salami was a close second and the PB&J was great too. There is an extensive wine list to pair with their many offerings. Our waiter was attentive and excellent. Highly recommend this place! read more

Manager unresponsive to Celiac questions, so if anyone has Celiac consider other options.

Celebrated my besties birthday dinner here last night and this place did not disappoint. We ordered their carpaccio for an appetizer, we split a Caesar salad, our entrees were the cavatelli and Cacio de pepe. Oh and we ordered the focaccia bread that was amazing. Everything was sooooooooo delicious. The service was outstanding. Our server Scott was on point and made great recommendations. The manager Natalie delivered our carpaccio ,and said it was one of her favorite things to eat and I 100% have to agree. I've ordered this at several places and theirs has to be my favorite. Great service, thanks Scott and Natalie for exceeding our expectations and compliments to the chef! read more

this had to be like my third review of this restaurant but it just keeps getting better every time i go. for my most recent visit, i got the chicken parm and my awesome waiter recommended that i get the alfredo sauce for my noodles and leave the red sauce on my chicken. he said him and some coworkers swear by this so i decided to give it a try. best thing ive ever done taking his advice. this has to be like top 3 chicken parm's of all time. it really is amazing and the key is to squeeze the lemon they give you over the chicken and the noodles before you eat it. the best thing ever. this place has to be the best restaurant in all of north loop. it never disappoints and is so consistent it's awesome. please never change!!!! read more

I found my new favorite happy hour! Their summer spritz menu is so great, the Hugo spritz was my favorite. Our waiter was so friendly and checked back frequently. I appreciate their patio is covered so it's not too hot in the sun. read more

11/10. My favorite restaurant in the north loop and one of the best in the state. Fair pricing, great ambiance, amazing food and drink. The deserts here are insanely good- beignets and toffee cake were to die for. Pizza rolls were a great and affordable app. Cavatelli and PBJ pizza combo were to an excellent split with the wife read more

I was very impressed with how classy it is compared to the price. It's an affordable place (at least for lunch). I ordered a sandwich and soup for $15 and it wasn't your everyday way of making it. The staff from the host to the end of it all were very attentive and very kind. This is a place that does the quality of customer service and food justice. Thank for for a pleasant experience with my friends. read more

We were in need of a good meal and happened upon the Red Rabbit while we were visiting for a soccer tournament. Greta, our server, was so personable and eager to share her recommendations- and we're glad she did! We started with the oysters, calamari, and burrata- all amazing. The lasagna comes piping hot in a personal sized cast iron skillet and smothered with cheese. We ended with over the top sticky toffee cake and chocolate budino. OMG. Can't wait to go back - so much more I want to try! read more

We order take out from Red Rabbit pretty often and it is consistently good, but like most food, it is always better at the restaurant. My fave dish is the mostacioli. Perfect amount of sauce and love the goat cheese fondu! Also tried a new seasonal drink. The garden party. Definitely recommend this drink. Sounds interesting with the squash but the taste is not squashy at all. It tastes like autumn in a glass! Get it before they take it away for the next season. read more

The place to get an Italian meal with a beautiful rustic-chic style. The pizzas are made of wood, the pastas are made of the Italian variety and cocktails are made with good taste. Superb in serving brunch as well as a fancy dinner. The home-like feel is added to the authentically friendly atmosphere. Good and sound bet in Grand Avenue. read more

Yum. We had the ricotta toast. Simply amazing ! We also had a burger. Very reminiscent of Red Cow. Would get again. Second time getting the confit mushrooms add grilled chicken paired with the black butter cauliflower soup are my favorite things on the menu. Nice work Rabbit ! read more

amazing food with great ambiance. pricing is fair for the quality and portions. whenever i'm nearby, i try and stop here.

I took my husband here to celebrate his birthday and was surprised at how busy it was for a weekday night. Luckily I made reservations so we got right in, but parking was a bit difficult so be prepared for that. Inside the ambiance is dark, intimate but quite loud. We were hoping we could have had a table in a more private space but there really wasn't a private space within this restaurant - so keep that in mind if you're looking for something more intimate. We decided to get an appetizer but not from the appetizer list. We did a pizza and split it - the pizzas are amazing and I could definitely eat a whole one myself!! For my main course, I chose to get the Italian Chopped salad with grilled vegetables as a side. Wowza!! Amazing flavors and big portions!! I rarely ever leave a restaurant with a leftover box but this time I did. My husband had to do the same and he got the Chcken Parmesan which was highly recommended by the employees. Since it was his birthday they also gave him a birthday treat on the house! He chose what was recommended- Sticky Toffee Cake. OMG this was to die for!! Although we were stuffed we finished the last crumb and agreed it was one of the best desserts we've had!! read more

4.5* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 5* 10/28/2023 We were in town to visit our son and celebrate his girlfriend passing her bar exam and looking for a place to eat when my wife suggested this place. Unfortunately, they didn't take reservations, so we drove down and got our place on the seating list. They were quite busy as it was a Saturday night. We were told that it would be almost an hour and we wouldn't all be able to sit together (there were 7 in our party). However, we ended up getting to sit a little earlier than promised and were all seated at the same table. We spent the time waiting for our table at the beautiful bar (see picture). Once we were seated, the Roasted Carrots (see picture) were highly recommended by friends, so we tried them and were not disappointed. For our meals, we ordered a number of different options and shared tastes of each other's dishes so we all got to sample a variety of menu items. There are pictures for each of these mentioned dishes below and believe me, each and every one of them was delicious. The dishes we ordered were: Shrimp Garganelli, Mostacciolli, Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan and Butternut Squash Ravioli. Believe me, you won't go wrong with any of these dishes. If you follow my posts, you know that the favorite part of my dining experience is the desserts. I don't like a lot, but love at least a few bites to top off a meal. With so many people at our table, it was a great opportunity to order several desserts to share...and that is exactly what we did. We ordered the Beignets (see picture) which were delicious on their own, but even better with the raspberry dipping sauce. The highlight though was the Sticky Toffee Cake (see picture). It was recommended to our son's girlfriend by another patron who was also waiting to be seated...and it was absolutely fantastic! We ordered it with truffel salt per her recommendation and the salted caramel and candied orange zest was a great complement.

I ate here yesterday, I had the chicken Parmesan, and amazingly it was as good as mine (which rarely happens). My only criticism is it could had had a touch more marinara sauce and come with a small green side salad. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had been tossed in Alfredo sauce before being plated. read more

Finally had a chance to try Red Rabbit and had such a fun dinner! Got there around 5:30 on a Saturday, waited maybe 30ish min for a table of three - but it was well worth the wait! All staff members were so helpful - offering drinks to people waiting on tables and overall just great service once seated. Now onto the good stuff: Apps - we had the garlic bread cheese curds and Arancini, both were good - cheese curds could have been warmer but the taste was still great! Entrees: we ordered two pizzas (one mushroom, one margarita add pepperoni) and the butternut squash ravioli. Everything was perfectly cooked: the pepperoni has a nice spice and the mushroom pie was one of our favorites we've had! The ravioli was also so creamy and had a great filling - there were only 6 raviolis but they were all a decent size. Drinks: espresso martinis that tasted more like coffee than baileys (just the way we like it!), a delicious orange clove bourbon cocktail, and some red wine - smiles all around! Overall had a great evening at red rabbit, will definitely be back again! read more
