"Party of four, we visited here this weekend and enjoyed a nice dinner. It’s a nice older building, with validated off street parking available. Our service was good, not rushed to make a decision - and good with recommendations. Best to have a reservation - we were on the early side but it seemed to be picking up. We had several of the pasta entrees and one chicken Marsala. Crab cakes and beet salad for a starter. And a nice Italian red wine to split. Would definitely recommend if your local fora nice local not stuffy experience."
"La Grolla is located in St. Paul, MN and is one of the oldest restaurants in St. Paul! They are known for serving homemade Italian food and have been in business for almost 30 years. I always love Italian food and crave it every day, and found this place through social media. I found out all of their sauces are homemade and most of their pastas are handmade as well. I gotta say, I can tell these chefs cook from the heart because everything tasted so delicious and heartwarming! Make sure you check them out when you are in the St. Paul Area!"
"One of the nicest patios in the city - and some of the best food! This place has friendly servers, generous portions and top-notch food. We enjoyed the bruschetta, cappellini al basilico e pomodoro with shrimp, insalata isabella with chicken and the salmone al limone. For dessert we shared some sinfully delicious canolli!"
"After moving away and being gone six years, I cannot tell you how relieved we were to return to one of our favorite restaurants and have it be as excellent as we always remember it. The same staff, the same menu, the excellent preparation and service. Every dish is a delight! If the weather is good, you must sit on the patio!"
"Came in at 1:30pm on a Wednesday and got a table. We were greeted right away by the friendly staff and were provided with bread service right away. We ordered off the lunch menu, our food came out very quickly and everything was amazing. The Espressotini was delicious as well as the Crab Cakes, Penne alla Vodka, and Gnocci Salentina. The atmosphere was comfortable and very cozy. I would recommend for a nice meal."
"Delicious! The service was wonderful, the place is packed, and the food was amazing! We ordered the scallop appetizer (OMG! So good and so much scallop!) as well as the bruschetta with fresh mozzarella (very tasty). I had the beet salad and gnocchi (very light and refreshing) my husband had lasagna (just like grandma used to make). Everything was fresh and well seasoned. The lava cake, while not on the menu, was a favorite!"
