"I noted the downtown digs, which relocated to 1070 Nicollet Mall a few years ago into a sophisticated space outfitted with a pretty fireplace and antler art, have remained temporarily closed since the dawn of the pandemic and are currently being used to host private events. Known as a cozy destination for pizzas, pastas, and plenty of beers, the downtown menu made a name for itself with starters like cilantro lime shrimp tacos, dry-rubbed wings, and fried calamari; 12-inch pizzas; protein-packed salads; pesto gnocchi and wild mushroom pasta; and a sandwich section filled out by a burger, banh mi, and Philly cheesesteak. The brand behind the spot is also known for signature items such as arugula pasta pappardelle with homemade Italian sausage, a Minnesota grain bowl, and margherita pizza." - Tierney Plumb
