Wow. The food here was just that – wow. I had the papperdelle, and it was excellent. The best bowl of Italian food I’ve had here in the Twin Cities. (The other two dishes photographed are the chicken parmesan and the bucatini, which were also delicious as stated by my friends.) The service was top-notch, too. I’d recommend reservations. Will 100% be back!

This was our first time at Rinata. Cocktails were fine, a bit weak though. They do give a complimentary bread basket with oil and olive tapenade and the bread was good. Eggplant invollatini was the better of the apps. Filling was nice and cheesy though it could have been a bit hotter in temp. Mussels were quite spicy and very vinegary. Baked feta was far too salty, it was inedible. Entrees were better than the apps but still not great. Chicken parmesan portion was huge. Bucatinni amatracana was good but expensive. Puttanesca was not great. The shrimp were very small and with the still on and very expensive again. The homemade pasta was good but a bit chewy. Tiramisu was more like a cake, no coffee flavor, no lady fingers, pretty bland in flavor. Parking was tricky. We did park in the small lot behind but there is only a few spots and it was ICY, like a solid couple of inches thick of ice, a nightmare honestly for walking. Inside was nice but it is a small quiet intimate setting as its setup as 4 smaller dining areas. Service was good, though a bit slow. If you’re looking for the best Italian restaurant in the cities, go to Bar la Grassa, they are hands down the best.

So happy to have Rinata Restaurant in the neighborhood. As an Italian, I really appreciated that they start you off with complimentary bread and olive oil: such a simple touch, but exactly how an Italian restaurant should begin a meal.
The eggplant involtini were very good, though for my taste they had a little bit too much garlic. Still very enjoyable. The bucatini was absolutely delicious with a rich, satisfying sauce that really stood out.
The pizza was also great. It’s a bit different from a traditional Italian pizza — I’d describe it as more of an elevated pan-sheet style crust — but the flavor was fantastic.
Overall a really lovely experience and a spot I’m happy to have close to home!

We ordered the bruschetta, eggplant involtini, salmon risotto, chicken parm, CONCHIGLIE and the ravioli as well as the tiramisu and lava cake and each item was outstanding. The mix of flavors was divine and all dishes were prepared to perfection. The tiramisu was unique in a good way and the salmon will bring me back very soon! The service was amazing and our server was attentive, really friendly and knowledgeable. Make this place a priority!!

My husband and I were looking for a place to celebrate our wedding anniversary and without a doubt it was our best choice. I loved the place, the super delicious food, the bohemian atmosphere I was looking for, the waiter was so kind to us, I definitely recommend coming here and enjoying such a pleasant atmosphere and delicious food!!!

My date and I went to Rinata for Valentine’s Day! We were a little late for our reservation as I was working later than expected but they still accommodated us.
Drinks were great though their cocktail menu only included classics. A corpse reviver on the menu is a rare and fun treat. We ordered the mussels which were AMAZING, and they even brought us extra bread for the sauce without prompting.
We shared a perfect mixed greens and Gorgonzola salad and then shared the lamb shank risotto and the lobster gnocchi. The gnocchi was a bit softer than I’d expect but it was still so good and creamy. Neither of us could decide which entree we liked better. Finished off with the crème brûlée which I can never resist.
The bearded gentleman serving us was fantastic as was everyone else who touched our table. All hands in 🙂
We’ll definitely be coming back!

We try and get here a few times a year because it’s just so consistently good! It’s cozy, the staff is good and the food is fantastic.

This is a special place – the venue is charming and fun, and the staff was excellent. The food was exceptional and exceeded our high expectations. I ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, and my partner had the bucatini. I think it’s the best pasta fresca I’ve had in the Midwest. Rinata is now at the top of a very short list of places I’ll take out-of-town guests – I can’t wait to show it off to visitors. Well-managed and delicious – do dinner here, you’ll thank me later!

Absolutely phenomenal! The food and service was some of the best i’d ever had! The atmosphere was welcoming and personal. The staff was incredible, and it was a dining experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommend all the dishes my group enjoyed but especially the eggplant involtini, the pizza, mussels, squash ravioli (personal favorite), and the tiramisu. Everything is made in house and the quality is impeccable. Every dish was carefully crafted and delicious; cannot recommend this place enough!

Hands down the most delicious and authentic tasting Italian food I’ve ever had in MN! It is extremely rare to find a place with great quality and tasting food along with reasonable prices. I find that Italian food tends to be more on the expensive side, but not Rinata. I was incredibly shocked at how well priced everything was for how high quality everything was. And the service was just as amazing too! I went in for the Sunday date night special priced at $25 for four courses which includes bread/olive oil, an appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert. Every single thing I ordered not limited to the complimentary bread and oil was delicious. Everything was perfectly prepared and seasoned. I am grateful that this was my last meal I was able to eat out before all the quarantine stuff was happening. If they are open for takeout, I will gladly be back! I can’t wait for Rinata to open their doors officially again once the quarantine is over!
