Best Italian Restaurants in New Hope

We had a fabulous time at Buca in Maple Grove! All the staff was friendly and helpful. The food was great too and it was a fun place to celebrate our son’s birthday.

Beautiful space. Delicious food and drinks. Dont be fooled by bad cutlery! Despite struggling to cut my steak, it was a tender, melt in your mouth filet. Perfectly cooked. Waiter (Cole?) was very prompt and friendly. I appreciated him being present when needed but not overly hovering so we could talk on our rare date night out of the house. Appetizers and entree portions were appropriate for the price. Food and drinks came to the table quickly despite it being Valentine’s Day - I would usually expect slower times due to busier day. Reservations worked perfectly, walked in the door and brought immediately to our table. Had asked for a booth in our reservation if possible and we got seated in a booth. Hostesses were all very nice. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother, more pleasant experience. As a working mom who rarely gets to get out of the house for fun, or out on a date night - I couldn’t have been happier.

We enjoyed the special menu for Valentines day. (Spasso should join MSP magazine restaurant week and have a special menu for that!!! Only negative was were not asked how we wanted The Walleye prepared and it came baked with breading not broiled. Overall 9 of 10 experience!

The food was fantastic. The attention to detail and customer service was excellent. Michael was the best server - had great suggestions and allowed us time to enjoy our time. Wonderful place to dine.

When you walk into Bacio for Happy Hour or dinner it's always a vibrant atmosphere! Last night was no exception, in fact it was super electric by the time we arrived for our early 5:45 dinner reservation. It was a combination of early Valentine celebrations along with their special Cajun additions for the season! The specials were fabulous, felt like you were in the kitchen of Commander's Palace in New Orleans! Courtney knew what we liked and made some very good recommendations! Courtney is one of our favorites! Don't know how long the Cajun specials will be on the menu, but check them out before they're gone! And, if they are gone, there are plenty of great items that will never disappoint you!
