Italian restaurant · Macalester-Groveland

@eater

"For more than 30 years, this Saint Paul institution has been serving red-sauce Italian American classics. Here, you’ll find all the staples of the genre: meatballs as large as baseballs, draped in a rich, slow-cooked marinara; chopped carrot lending bright sweetness to deeply browned ragu; finely chopped parsley showered like confetti across every dish. Portions are substantial, so make sure to come with a group if you want to save room for dessert." - Julie Yu
