Pizzeria · Lowertown · 13 tips and reviews
Heavy Table: In our visits, the St. Vincent reigned supreme.it packs a major flavor punch, starring thick bacon, fresh garlic, provolone, and a bright, slightly sweet red sauce made from organic crushed tomatoes. Read more.
Austin Westermann: Flavorful and fresh pizzas in a cool new spot in Lowertown. Get something with meat, you won't regret it!
Shawn: BRP does something that is a req for elite pizza and only a few places in the cities (ie Punch, Burch, Red Wagon) do well. Crust. Delicious crust. This alone makes BRP worth driving from MPLS for.
Jonas Oliver Gonzaga: Pad Thai is different. Still very yummy. The fresh spring rolls is to die for!! Mmmmm!
Chelsey Branham: Fresh spring rolls, Thai fried rice, and pad Thai are all amazing!
Christine Freeman: The Fresh Spring Rolls are AMAZING!! But the service can be so slow sometimes but worth the wait with good company over some really good food!

Quinn M: Really good froyo and tons of candy toppings and fresh fruit to choose from!
SuZ T: Great BYO froyo. Veg. yogurts. Greatly appreciate that they have ingredient lists (etc) avail. for perusal for everything as yogurt can be ambiguous for vegetarians. Honeydew sorbet is awesome.
Hope McCroskey: Peanut butter sauce and marshmallow goo over cake batter, chocolate hazelnut, and devils food yogurts is so good!

Italian Restaurant · St. Anthony · 17 tips and reviews
Emily Weiss: For just a few weeks in the late summer, they have delicately fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and fresh mozzarella as a special appetizer. If they have 'em, get 'em.
City Pages: Tomato Basil - "A temperate bowl with an order of toasty arancini or their fabulously sharp goat cheese torta, ribboned with basil pesto and fig jam, makes an ideal lunch." - Emily Weiss
studioL: Plenty of free parking behind the building. Especially helpful w/light rail construction!
