The 15 Best Places for Pasta in the Twin Cities | Eater Twin Cities

"A stalwart of fine dining in downtown Minneapolis, 112 Eatery has won a number of accolades through the years, with no small credit to its pasta program. Bar La Grassa may be chef Isaac Becker’s better-known pasta destination, but don’t overlook 112: The tagliatelle with foie gras meatballs is as luxurious as you might expect from, well, foie gras meatballs, but the stringozzi with lamb sugo is the sleeper hit among the house classics. The lamb is cooked down until it’s nearly sticky, and the springy texture of the stringozzi is just sturdy enough to hold up to the sauce. For folks who don’t eat meat, the kitchen also offers a seasonally rotating vegan and vegetarian pasta on request." - Julie Yu
