The Hottest New Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul Right Now, July 2024
"Dario, the pink-washed new North Loop restaurant from Stephen Rowe and chef Joe Rolle, puts fresh pasta at the center of its menu: Sunchoke-ricotta doppio and parmesan cappelletti are in good company with hiramasa crudo, brown butter brick chicken, and delicate vegetable dishes like grilled hakurei turnips. Pasta maven Rachel Cornelius McLeod (also of Cornelius Pasta Co.) makes the tender, supple pasta every morning; Rolle is the mind behind the menu, weaving together Italian, Asian, and American influences with a dexterous hand. Rowe, a Marvel bar alum and the architect of Dario’s cocktail program, forgoes garnishes in favor of aromatics and spices. Effervescence, bitter finishes, and a range of nonalcoholic, low-proof, and full-proof pours bring the menu together." - Eater Staff
