EaTo

In Minneapolis celebrating our wedding anniversary and we found this cozy, delectable little spot! We actually got lost trying to find a restaurant suggested by our hotel, and I'm so thankful we found Eato instead. The ambiance is cozy, upscale without being fussy, and quite simply joyful. We had excellent service all around, from the moment we stepped in to the last steps out. For drinks, I started with an espresso martini that came topped with a cannolo--nice touch!--and my husband got an NA hot toddy, we were both impressed. We tried the red pepper bruschetta and cheese pizza puffs for appetizers. The red pepper smelled so fresh and was delectable on the focaccia with ricotta. We had the umami pizza--to die for!--and would have loved to check out the dessert but were too full.There's a wine shop in the front of the restaurant with tons of harder to find varietals, we didn't try one, but we will next time! Cannot wait to come back and try more incredible food and drinks.

Can't say enough great things about this place. Sat at the bar...great service. First time having limoncello and really liked. They only had their 30 day blend left and it was dry, but I enjoyed. I had the pasta bolognese and it was excellent. Wine was good and reasonably priced. Bonus: Found a parking lot, 3 minutes away to park for $5. Overall great value for a date night.

I was staying in downtown Minneapolis on a work trip and decided to try this spot out for my birthday dinner. WOW! It was incredible! I ordered shrimp scampi with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and an ice cream sandwich for dessert. The food was incredible. They had indoor seating as well as patio seating which was dog friendly. I loved the bright colored decor inside of the restaurant. Such a fun place to celebrate any special occasion! The service was also incredible. My waitress was friendly and offered great suggestions for my meal.

We had an amazing time here this week for restaurant week! They had a three course option for $35 with an additional wine course pairing for $15. I opted for both and was floored by how fun everything was! This was our second time here and we returned for the red pepper burrata which was amazingggg again. Very well balanced flavors and soft delicious bread underneath. We also had the spinach dip with the fried pasta to dip and I would highly recommend this as well. The flavor was good and the texture was so fun on the fried pasta. The chicken Parmesan was truly the star of the evening. The white cheese sauce on the noodles was so buttery and salty which paired perfectly with the brightness of the tomatoes on top of the chicken. It came out hot and the chicken had a nice crispy layer to it while being cooked perfectly throughout. I finished with two mini cannolis which had a gorgeous cream filling. Our server was incredibly kind and got all of our orders correct on a four top table during a busy Saturday evening while providing consistently good service throughout the meal. I would definitely recommend this place for a date night or night out with friends. There was a large amount of tables and the decorations were classy meets millennial in a fun way. We will be back!

Visited Eato for their fall restaurant week. The deal was $35 for a three course meal which seemed fair given how hungry I was and how expensive their normal dishes cost.I chose to go with the chopped salad for my starter. It was delicious with lots of pieces of chopped salami, house made croutons, and lots of freshly shredded parm. It was delicious and a great way to start the meal.For the main, I chose the chicken Parmesan which came served over some house made pasta in a cheese based sauce. It was delicious, and as the tomato sauce from the chicken parm fell into the pasta, it mixed and created a wonderful sauce.For dessert, I chose cannolis which are a childhood favorite of mine. They were tasty with a nice crunchy outside and delicate filling.The service was great, we had two servers because one was training and they were extremely attentive. The vibe is pretty chic, this would be a great date spot.

The tiramisu here is so good. If you are able to save room for desert after the delicious appetizers and entree I would highly recommend.

My buddy and I searched Yelp for a good place to have happy hour before the Metallica concert on a Friday night at US Bank Stadium, where the Vikings play.EaTo is a few blocks from the stadium and was pretty empty at 4:15 when we got there, but when we left, it was pretty full. I noticed the had a nice bar that was seated outside.Our waitress was very nice and I ordered the $5 IPA, a nice craft beer. I also ordered the $8 pepperoni small pizza and my buddy and I decided to split an order of the happy hour wings.The food came out pretty fast, while I ordered another IPA. The pizza had lots of crispy curled up pepperoni, my favorite. The crust was thin, yet fluffy and fantastic and just the right amount of cheese.The wings had a rub instead of sauce and they were good size. The dipping sauce made them "Wingalicious"Great place for a Friday happy hour!

This was a Bonus Daughter pick as she wanted pasta so off Eato we traveled into the cities! Walking in this place was super eye pleasing and def makes sense to take all the pictures while getting your carb fix. Let's gab about the food! Focaccia w/ ricotta was both our favorite and we even tried the special bruschetta for the evening and we both went back to the focaccia as the bruschetta was salty in comparison. Both our pasta came out timely and i went with the shrimp scampi had a little more chili flake then i was anticipating but shrimp was cooked perfectly with my bonus love getting pesto.Sadly our server kinda made us feel like we were unimportant which was unique as there wasn't a large crowd for a Tuesday at 630pm. Barely came to our table and missed grabbing our drinks..had to have another sever grab our bill as they disappeared. And i am a pretty chill person but when its repetitive puts a bad vibe for wanting to come back.

I cannot believe this was my first time venturing over to EaTo, especially as it's just around the corner from me. It is my new FAVORITE happy hour - $5 wine, beer, rail drinks, $6 cocktails, and half priced bottles of wine. Plenty of reasonably priced and delicious food options as well. So affordable and both the food and drinks were excellent. Good service. The patio is incredible and the inside was gorgeous as well.New go to spot for me!

Rachel our server was attentive but not overly attentive. Other staff members were helpful. For example one gentleman helped my spouse with her jacket. Nice urban vibe but not so loud you could not hear each other. Parking available behind the restaurant in a reasonably priced lot. Excellent Chicken Parmesan and Bolognese. Very good restaurant week options and value.
