Wonderful staff, nice atmosphere. The food was wonderful. The freshness of the bruschetta was something you really could tatste. The honey goat cheese with pear crostini was such a good combination, I could have eaten that by itself. I ate the bistecca which was just the right amount of food. My friends will go here every time they are in Duluth and I 100% understand why. We made a reservation which made it much easier. Also the birthday cake gelato was wonderful, the red velvet (I'm guessing) pieces in it was a nice touch!

Had a lovely dinner on a Friday night with a view of the lake from the solarium. We had made reservations, and ended up with a window seat. There's also a main indoor dining room and an outdoor patio during warmer months. I got the iced tea and chicken alfredo, which is usually my go-to for pasta. It was delicious and filling, especially after the bread they gave us to start the meal. Service was efficient and friendly. I'd definitely come back and visit in the summertime!

I loved this place very much. Small and cozy. Little cramped when it's busy but still amazing. Me and my wife sat in the area over looking the lake. It was very beautiful. The food was great but the biggest thing was our server Amanda. She was one of if not the best all around server we've ever had! You felt like you were visiting a friend at work while speaking with her. The entire service industry seems like they kind of forgot about being nice and personable but not Amanda. They definitely should recognize her extra effort to make everyone feel welcome. In a world of lackluster Customer service be more like Amanda. If you and your significant other want a nice little lunch or dinner stop by and you'll love it. 10 out of 10 will be back.

Nice Italian spot right off Lake Superior. I had the Honey Goat cheese w/ Pear Crostini, and the Prosciutto, Gorgonzola /fig jam Crostini, and a Latte. It all was quite good! Staff were nice, seated promptly after arriving for reservation. View of the lake is also quite nice.

We had a reservation for the solarium which provided amazing views. Our waiter Will was so great and we really felt like we got to enjoy our time here. The bread you get was delicious but save room for the pasta! Picture of Preferito Della Casa; the flavor on this was amazing! My friend had the Bistecca and it was also so delicious!

Excellent meal! They have three separate eating areas in summer: inside dining room, enclosed patio, and a covered downstairs open air patio overlooking the water. We sat in the third space mentioned and it was wonderful! The pesto frutti di mare was, hands down, the best meal. It isn’t a typical pesto, it’s more of a pink sauce and it’s soooo good. Accompanied with great scallops and shrimp. Perfection. The pasta primavera was also high quality; we changed to angel hair pasta and added meatballs. 👍🏼 finally, the Sicilian pesto with chicken added was also delightful, just not as much as the frutti di mare. 🤩 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Be sure to make a reservation as they fill up fast! Beautiful spot to enjoy delicious meals! We were sitting in the grotto around 11:45am, so it was very sunny but had spectacular views. Also, depending on when you go, the north shore train passes by the restaurant! Would 100% recommend coming here!

We were seated outside (made a reservation) with a breathtaking view of Lake Superior. The wait staff was very prompt and our drinks and food were absolutely amazing. It was all very fresh, extremely flavorful, and we savored every bite. We will definitely be back!

Definitely my favorite place to eat in Duluth! The appetizers and pasta are absolutely amazing, and the lake view is stunning. I love all their pasta but I’m partial to their shells because they hold a ton of sauce. The service is friendly but it is busy so make a reservation.
