The Bungalow Club

"The Bungalow Club, just a stone’s throw from the Mississippi River on Lake Street, has an effortless romantic vibe. The restaurant focuses on fresh, handmade pasta — round out the weekend with a Sunday night tortelli mantovani, stuffed with sweet potato, or a gnocchi sardi with tomato and chili flakes. Thursday through Saturday, try the three-course menu, which changes frequently but has the same approachable elegance." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"At the Bungalow Club, you can order pasta both on menu and off: through the restaurant’s Provisions program, folks can purchase house pasta by the pound, along with pint and quart sized containers of house pomodoro and sausage ragu. For those in the dining room, pastas change frequently with the seasons (alongside the rest of the menu), but expect dishes like ricotta dumplings are served with caramelized kernels of sweetcorn in the summer; linguine with lustrous lemon browned butter in the last days of fall; and ravioli with charred onions and comte in the first days of spring." - Julie Yu

"The Bungalow Club’s legendary patio has a leafy, enchanted garden vibe, ideal for fresh pasta dinners on Sunday evenings." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"There are a lot of bungalows all over Minneapolis, and this Longfellow spot looks like an HGTV-ified version with built-in bookcases and a patterned blue wallpaper that could’ve been ripped out of a fable anthology. TBC’s three-course, prix-fixe menu changes frequently, but always includes pasta like beet-and-gorgonzola-stuffed tortellini along with hearty meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes such as flank steak alongside rice porridge. Stop by on Wednesdays for a more casual burger-centric menu or Sunday for $2 kids meals and pasta specials like pork sausage bucatini topped with pistachios, black pepper, and parmesan." - stacy brooks
