"One of the few restaurants to be found in Minneapolis’ leafy Kenwood neighborhood, abutting Lake of the Isles, the Kenwood is known for its bustling weekend brunch service. But the housemade pastas are equally worthy of attention, like a briny pappardelle nero with smoked mussels. The bucatini carbonara is topped with whisper-fine shreds of parmigiano reggiano, curls of rendered bacon, and a single, sunshine-yellow egg yolk, which all emulsify into a silky sauce with the swirl of a fork." - Julie Yu
