My Review by sheilaw1518488181 on 7/14/2014 via Citysearch
The service was terrible!! The over priced food was just okay. The final straw was when they turned the lights out before we even left. We had to ask them to turn them on so that we could make sure we had all of our things. There is much…

Mediocre, overpriced food by hthayer on 5/22/2011 via Citysearch
With all of the choices available in the Twin Cities, I can't imagine why anyone would go to La Grolla. The food is not offensive, but nothing imaginative or particularly good. I imagine it is a lot like Olive Garden. And if that were…

Disappointing by Jeaniee on 2/3/2011 via Citysearch
This is one of the WORST dinners my husband and I have had! The eggplant tower appetizer was drowning in what tasted like canned tomato soup. I ordered the evening special: rack of lamb for $36; it was burnt beyond recognigtion. After…

Fabulous food by TrudyB on 11/2/2010 via Citysearch
We ate there Saturday and ordered the Alfredo with creamy lobster sauce and tiger prawns - I felt spoiled. The sauce wasn't overpowering with richness - it was just right. The tulip for the dessert - fresh fruit with a sweet cream sauce…

A Modern Italian Experience by Nick M on 5/11/2010 via Insider Pages
Went here for lunch on a lazy afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, amazing ambiance, and affordable food. They even had some amazing music playing that I got the name of the artist from the server and have really…

La Grolla is the BEST!! by CSMobileUser on 6/10/2009 via Citysearch
I just found La Grolla through a friend. I was amazing. I will be going back as much as possible. We did not have a reservation and it was a very busy night. Sarah the Manager was awesome and found is a spot at the bar while we waited…

La Grolla changed my life. by scratchnsniff on 6/10/2009 via Citysearch
I went to La Grolla last weekend for dinner, and was absolutely blown away. From the minute that we arrived to the second we left, we were treated like royalty. I encourage any and all people to check out this gem of Cathedral…

Fantastic restaurant by johnsonjack on 6/4/2009 via Citysearch
From the minute we set foot in this establishment our experience with this woman was heinous. Other prospective patrons waiting for their tables also found her to be a conversation piece of ignorance. Her rude, loud, distaste for customer…

Charming atmosphere, good service and food by saobrien0077 on 4/19/2009 via Citysearch
The service was great - in fact it reminded me of Fogo De Chao because it was so fast and frequent. But what is service without food? Started with the delicious mozzarella crab cakes. Moved on to the perfectly seared halibut. Ended with…

La Grossa by mal008 on 3/9/2009 via Citysearch
We went for a lunch date and had great service but inedible food. The stone crab cakes lacked any texture or flavor of crab. The sauce was bland. How can you ruin bruschetta? That too had no flavor. After $40, we left hungry in search…

Why we don't need to eat in Minneapolis much by Brad D. on 2/18/2009 via Judy's Book
I can't believe that a place this phenomenal is just a few blocks from my house. If you don't order the Mussels you are missing Heaven itself. Salads are imaginative and flavorful, great Antipasti selections, Entrees are beautifully…

Normally okay, but had terrible service recently... by queenmama on 1/7/2009 via Citysearch
We made 7:30 pm reservations for 2 and it was a busy night right after Christmas. When we checked in, there were several groups waiting to be seated and the host told us it was just going to be a few minutes for a table. After 25 minutes…

Special Occassions by Peggy O on 11/2/2008 via Insider Pages
I love going here for special occasions. It is a quaint restaurant and the food is excellent. The staff and atmosphere are fabulous. I have never had a bad meal or experience here.

Poor customer service and over-priced food by rsbelair on 9/29/2008 via Citysearch
I've been to La Grolla several times. The food is ok but overpriced and the restaurant is extremely small and cramped. Three out of the five times I've been there I've had an AWFUL waiter and because of him I refuse to go back. The service…

Best Italian food in the TCs by kls486 on 9/21/2008 via Citysearch
I have been to La Grolla 3 times, and each time I've had wonderful food and service. Each time I've been there, the waiters have been very knowledgeable and helpful. The Caprese salad is a must, as is the Capesante (the sea scallops were…

Start with the olives... by Amy B on 5/29/2008 via Insider Pages
Fare: I tried the breaded and stuffed green olives and they were amazing! They were very salty, so they went well with bread. I had the pasta with a meat sauce and I couldn't even finish half of it, as it was so hearty!\r \r Price: …

La Grolla Restaurant by appauled on 4/23/2008 via Citysearch
Was my favorite restaurant! One afternoon I was in for lunch with a friend sipping some wine when all of a sudden a very disruntled owner started mentally and verbally abusing one of his employees out in the dining room. Not only was I…

So good by Joe A on 4/9/2008 via Insider Pages
Their food is absolutely amazing! Great atmospher! Service is awesome. My friend asked for a hot chocolate, which they don't have, but they figured out a way to melt some chocolate to make a drink for her. Server Ben was really cute too!

Great Restaurant by smilesatyou on 4/8/2008 via Citysearch
I am writing in response to the last posting by curlyhairedwarrior. Your response to the restaurant seems you are a person who has worked there and feel your leaving was unfair. I am not sure, but your extreme writing and attacks seem to…

Just do it. by bgelaw on 12/1/2007 via Citysearch
Great food. Great ambience. The only reason not to go is if you are overly particular about your personal space. Otherwise you will love it. See also, Buona Sera.
