Went her for a birthday with a large group! The good was delicious! The noodles were made so well and just melted in my mouth! Our food came out with big gaps and some not getting food until 10 min after others... However, they made up for it by bringing us out their divine desserts!

This is our favorite goto restaurant. Vibrant atmosphere but not really noisy. Extensive but not expensive menu with great specials. Make sure your waiter/waitress recites the specials, even if you are going to order off the menu. You will go back often.

The menu is great and tons of great options. Great place for a couple or small group. NOT kid friendly, which I'm totally fine with. They always have great specials and a fresh menu.

Definitely busy but didn't wait long with our reservation. Delicious entrées but not as impressed with the appetizers. Will for sure visit again, though it did seem a little overpriced.

visiting friends in St Paul, walked to restaurant. small and crowded, with a little wait. Servers were friendly went over the specials twice. The service staff seemed to work as a team, seamless. I felt very relaxed, they did not rush us to turn the table, we split some apps and ordered two different Italian wines. The main course service... More

Celebrated my husband's birthday. Food is excellent with lots of variety with the specials; pasta, seafood, meats. Wonderful service! Check out the desserts and wine list too. This is one of our favorites places in town.

I came upon this quaint restaurant by a friends suggestion. I have to say I am sad I have been missing out for so long. The food and service were spectacular. I felt like I was away from Minnesota for the night. It was so charming and cozy. Great wine selection as well. I fully would suggest this restaurant.

Waitstaff was brusque overall. When my date's meal came out, it was accompanied with the obligatory "these plates are hot." But it left 3rd degree burns when touched a couple minutes later! The staff's reaction was only "I said it was hot" and to relate that the plate itself was cooked in the oven. Well why didn't the chef or... More

Love this little spot. La Grolla is perfect for a wonderful lunch or fabulous dinner. Always great food and service. Make a reservation though, it is a small space, and always very popular.
