Rinata

Rinata is by far on my top 3 restaurants in MN. The environment is cozy and family owned. Apart from using fresh ingredients they also make most things in house. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. Doesn't look like much from the outside but you know the book saying.

Atmosphere is romantic and dimly lit, perfect for date night. However, food was nothing to get excited about. Quantity wise, servings were very small and not sufficient to make a hungry adult feel like they had a proper meal. They do a nice job with substituting regular pasta for GF zucchini pasta, however the red sauce pasta was very runny and lacked any flavor whatsoever. Overall experience was average and it's not somewhere I am going to go out of my way for. Still, if you're looking for romantic and intimate spots for date night, I would recommend this for its atmosphere.

Best kept "Sunday Date Night" secret in the Twin Cities. Excellent service, food, and drinks.

Amazing food. I went during restaurant week and the 4 courses I had were all spectacular. It's obvious that the chefs put a lot of pride and effort into their food.

The food was excellent (my date and I had the pappardelle with wild boar meat and the ravioli with butternut squash/ricotta). Also enjoyed a half priced bottle of red. The service was also great with a charming atmosphere. However, later I realized there was no music playing for ambience. Could have used that for sure, but hey, it's a little thing. Still go.
