We order at Gina Maria's at least once per month and have yet to be disappointed. I'm usually a crust snob, but this place is great. It's not overly chewy or soggy. They use plenty of cheese and the sauce is flavorful. We've only ever done takeout, but they always seem to be quick and friendly!

A lively neighborhood restaurant and wine bar just minutes from the eastern shores of Lake Minnetonka. We feature a crowd - pleasing mix of Italian classics and imaginative dishes featuring fresh entrees, scrumptious pastas, and delectable desserts. Spass

Location is about the only thing positive to say about Spasso. The food is mediocre at best and the service is absolutely horrendous. This is the second time with different waiters (both guys) that just give absolutely terrible service. They act like they donât want to be there and it shows. I had the lasagna which was ok. My wife did have a pasta dish which she liked but it is hard to overcome the terrible service. At the end of the meal the waiter dropped my credit card in my glass of water and said âI am not going to get thatâ. Didnât bother to say sorry. Did he think I wanted to drink it after I had to fish it out? He should have gotten it out and asked if I wanted a new glass of water but his obvious laziness shows and that would be way too much for him to handle. The food just isnât good enough to justify tolerating such terrible service.We are very sorry that we dropped the ball on your evening. We are constantly striving to improve and hope to make our guests enjoy their complete experience. So we are thankful for the feedback and we will look further into your review. We will definitely be talking about this situation and training staff on how to improve. Please feel free to email our manager, Amanda at [email protected] and we'll do our best to make it up to you!

I moved away 2 years ago so now back visiting I had to have dinner here. I always get the same pizza - the mimi. It is fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes and basil. I also like the salad with blue cheese. But it was cold today,so pizza. The service is fast, polite and pleasant. The food is amazing.

Ordered a 10" thin crust pizza with three toppings. Cheaper than getting one of their special pizzas. I liked it but I still think Broadway Pizza has better thin crust pizza.Wife had spaghetti and meatballs--good. And she had the beef/barley soup which she enjoyed.Service was a bit slow but they were busy so totally understand. Waitress was very pleasant.

What a restaurant! I've never seen anything like it - so fun. We had good service, the food was excellent and abundant! Although you pay for that abundance... It was very pricey for two people. They suggest that you can enjoy the left-overs, but for tourists that doesn't work out so great. The quality of the food justified the price, but we were paying for an extra potion we didn't need. I understand the whole family theme and why they make you order that way, but it did make it awkward for a dinner for two. But if you're a larger group, this place would be an excellent choice. Get the pope table!One note - probably the best marinara sauce I've had (or at least among the best). Which to me is a great sign- if they care about sauce that much, it bears well for other dishes as well.Thank you, patrickd747, for the terrific review!

Had a great experience getting a lunch. The menu items were explained by the staff and even salad samples were offered. We had the salad sampler, which was delicious and the hot Italian was very good as well. Again, the staff was very courteous. The woman server (unfortunately, I didn't get her name) gave us a free dessert for our date. Definitely would eat here again!

My meal wasn't that good but I think I just ordered something that I didn't really like. The others all liked their food. The service was very good and the restaurant was good. I believe this location is closing and the operation moving a couple of miles west on I-394. In spite of that, they are doing a good job of maintaining it.

This place is very good with everything from the welcoming hostess thru the buss staff. Our server, Katherine, was very attentive w/o being intrusive and made some great suggestions. The assisting staff were pleasant, attentive and very professional and polite. The evening started out with being seated outside with cocktails where we enjoyed a wonderful offering of fresh Italian Bread and creamy butter. The outdoor seating is very nice with large canvas umbrellas, lights, and beautiful floral; heat lamps are available when needed. There's also ample indoor seating and a bar area. We were there on couples nite which is a great value 4-course meal offering for $55 per couple--however we ordered off theRegular menu. The spaghetti and meatballswere very good with a sweeter sauce to themwhich reminded me of my great gramma roses homemade sauce from Iron River Michigan. My husband had the fettuccine w shrimp and cauliflower in a tasty homemade tomato basilsauce. We finished the meal by sharing their ever popular tiramisu with chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries . Very creamy and good -- and not like your average tiramisu. We will definitely go back when we are in the area.

We stopped in on a Saturday for dinner and they have happy hour until 6pm, so we opted to sit in the bar and enjoy some cheap eats and drinks to start. The tuna crisps looked devine and the steak tacos (2) were amazing. Both are sort of single serve apps. We shared some edamame. My husband ordered the miso glazed salmon for a meal - WOW! At first I was a little offput by the $34 price tag, but it did not disappoint. In fact, Iâd pay for the recipe, as it was probably the best salmon Iâve ever had. It came on a bed of stir fried grains and was FABULOUS- highly recommend!
