During our visit a couple of Saturdays ago, we were pleasantly surprised by the experience at this restaurant. Despite arriving early for our reservation, we were promptly seated. The food was great, and the sauce was particularly flavorful. We began with the cheese bread, followed by my husband’s spaghetti and meatballs and my manicotti, both of which were delicious and served in generous portions.
The dining atmosphere was notable as it revolved around the bar, which appeared to be the focal point of the restaurant. Although the service was a bit slow, it’s worth noting that there was a large group in the back room, and all the staff seemed to be working diligently. Our server was great.
Overall, it was a positive experience, and we’re looking forward to our next visit!

Pasta is made in house and it shows! Fantastic flavors and friendly and knowledgeable staff. The Tuscan pasta was amazing. Bruschetta was a light but flavorful start. Six in our group and everyone was happy with their selections.

Took a drive to Cross Lake today to check out the community, shopping, and restaurants! We found Maucieri’s Italian Bistro Restaurant and Bar….49 years of authentic Italian’s with a passion for food and service! Originally from Chicago. From scratch pasta daily! Lee had the Chicken Alfredo, I chose the Rose Sauce Pasta. We enjoyed a fresh lettuce salad and bread. The owner, Dawn, treated us, as first timers, to her Tiramisu! Delightful and Delicious from start to finish. Very good service and nice atmosphere! Thank you… we will be back! Michelle and Lee Gauer

As always, Dawn & her crew did a fabulous job. Took my 5 yr old granddaughter, who loves spaghetti, on a date night to where else, but the place with best spaghetti in Minnesota , she was thrilled. Scott was our server & he was great & very patient with a 5 year old. Thank you! She also loved the chocolate lava cake, big bonus as she asked multiple times if I thought they’d have cake there as well . The shrimp scampi over fettuccini that I had was very good as well. Successful date night!

Went here for dinner on a Friday night, started with garlic cheese bead, that was excellent. Next had lasagna, it was ok but nothing much. Good sized and a bit over done. Service was good but the place is just a huge wide open room with high ceilings.

Excellent service and food was great! Really enjoyed my pasta and the meatballs were amazing! My wife’s shrimp was perfect and flavors were definitely bursting! If you’re in the area, it’s a must stop.

We ordered takeout online twice during our trip. The fettuccine noodles were the best I’ve had. Even though we did takeout, immediately greeted multiple times by friendly staff. The bar seemed to be having a grand fun time with the patrons!
Food was great and well packaged. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.
