Editorial Review for al Vento – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Local regulars and Twin Cities foodies flock to owner-chef Jonathan Hunt's (formerly of Pane Vino Dolce) new neighborhood spot, which has an inviting atmosphere--a dining room flush with warm tones, soft lighting and crisp tablecloths. Hunt dubs his heartwarming cuisine as southern Italian, and his oft-changing menu is a labor of love. Thin-crust pizzas, seafood entrees and house-made pasta like cannelloni with spinach and ricotta are featured favorites.

This is a true Southern Italian restaurant, of which we have very few in Minneapolis. There are a lot of Tuscan (Northern) style places, but nothing like this that I've found other than in other cities. The olive bruschetta is outstanding, along with all of the other entrees I have had there. I've been to Al Vento 4 times, and have had outstanding food each time, always ordering something different. This is a great romantic spot for a date. Price is very reasonable.

My husband and I went to al Vento for our anniversary dinner last Saturday night and absolutely loved it. This was our first time there and we will definitely go back. The only 'con' was that it was super loud in the main dining room, but we were fine at our intimate table. We had an appetizer (crab cakes), salads (caesar & mixed green), entrees (cod with spinach risotto and rigatoni with butternut squash marscapone) and dessert (creme brule trio) and all were delicious!! The Chocolatini was yummy and there's a full service bar. Service was spectacular!! Prices were great too - I believe the entrees were all under $20. This is in the top five of our favorite restaurants!! Enjoy!!!
Pros: Cool decor, delicious food, awesome service (Samantha)
