Pazzaluna Urban Trattoria & Bar

I’ve been to Pazzaluna on many occasions ranging from romantic nights out to family meals to wine and dessert with friends. Their pasta is terrific, the wine list fairly decent, and the desserts top notch. Located in the heart of downtown St. Paul, Pazzaluna can make a great date spot on the right night; but be warned: if there’s a Wild game over at the arena, this place is going to be swarming with loud-mouthed sports fans. Plan accordingly.
Pro: Very good pasta, nice wine selection, good date spot
Con: Though the restaurant can feel romantic on a quiet weeknight, it is overrun with loud hockey fans and suburban theater-goes on the weekends
