DiGidio’s Italian Restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
St. Paul’s hidden gem, definitely worth the drive from Minneapolis. It’s been around forever but just discovered it, and now it’s firmly on my favorites list.
The Italian food is fantastic, tried their deconstructed lasagna special and stromboli, both excellent, including the homemade bread and seasoned butter. The menu has tons of options; these were just my picks that night.
➡️ ➡️ Here’s what I can’t believe I’m saying about an Italian restaurant, but I’d honestly cross the river just for their cheeseburger and dry rub wings. The burger is legendary for good reason, cooked perfect medium and charbroiled. Those wings are plump and seriously addictive.
Sounds crazy at an Italian place, but trust me on this.
Perfect for families or groups since you can share everything Italian style. Casual… no need to dress up. Not trendy or hoity toity, just solid food at reasonable prices.
There’s a reason they’ve survived this long, both of my visits have been excellent experiences! Recommend!

Had an amazing birthday dinner at DeGidio’s; the food was fantastic! The calamari was hands-down the best I’ve ever had anywhere, super crispy and perfect. Pesto pasta was a solid 10/10, creamy and flavorful, Classic Italian spot done right; definitely coming back!

Our lunch at DeGidio’s was great! There are some delicious pastas and the calamari and bruschetta were yummy. Some of the pastas were better than the others, and the caesar salad was slightly overdressed, but overall we would go back!
The service was fantastic and the we were very well attended to. We left a wallet left under our table after we left so we called in and the wait staff kindly retrieved it and held it until we were able to come back and get it.
A bit of mood lighting so the place is dimly lit and has a nice quiet atmosphere for lunch on a Monday.

We loved our dinner tonight at DeGidios! All of our pasta dishes were great, but our favorite was the Lumache & Sausage! Also highly recommend starting with La Caprese for an app, so yummy. Our server Caleb was also very kind and attentive. We highly recommend DeGidios and can’t wait to go back!!

This was the best pasta I have had in a while! It is quite busy when you go around dinner time, but we were able to eat at the bar and were able to sit immediately. The food came out super fast and the bartender was very nice to us. He boxed our food and never rushed us even though there was a line to sit when we left.

My fiancé and I checked out the restaurant to see if we wanted DeGidios to cater for our wedding when the experience was amazing. They have a separate catering menu, but they also do private tastings, which was a really neat experience. We ended up using them to cater and they delivered the food perfectly on time and even help us set everything up. The food was fantastic! It was really great and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

I found this place on TikTok while looking for new places to eat in the twin cities area. I took a friend with me and the reviews were right, I was very pleased with the food! Very delicious, as was the lemon drop martini. Will definitely be coming back again.

My husband found this authentic Italian family gem in Saint Paul Mn & it’s by far the best Italian food … best lasagna I have ever had in my life, the spaghetti was delicious, the appetizer was cheesy bread and it was savory and flavorful, our waitresses was so informative about all the dishes , she even brought us a free cannoli to sample, the bread pudding was homemade and the cherry on top of our meal. If you’re in this area or passing through , TRY IT! Enjoy

Me and my hunny went here and I have to say the food and service was amazing. From the time we walked in the vibe of the atmosphere was vibing. We had gotten the lasagna, calamari Frito, cheesy garlic bread and the fettuccine shrimp pasta. Everything was amazing. I definitely recommend trying this beautiful family owned business out.

My wife’s and I had our first official night out after getting married (8-22-25). This place was amazing. We ordered the garlic cheese bread, old fashioned hot dago, rigatoni and porchetta meatballs, and the chocolate lava cake. Everything was excellent. I can’t recommend this place more. Our waiter went above and beyond. We both agreed to put this into datenight rotation.
