Restaurants near Newell Park

We stopped by Chianti in Burnsville after a test at the hospital. We had reservations, but thought since it was a Monday, we'd be eating in a half-empty dining room. I was mistaken. It was very busy, which tells me that the food and service are worthy of an early-in-the-week dining experience. Our service was exceptional. Outstanding. She made recommendations that were on point, and answered our questions. We had the Burrata Board as an appetizer. Creamy, crunchy, salty, sweet, and savory. The chicken parm was juicy and crisp. I ate a large portion of the dish and still was able to take half of it home for tonight. My wife had the ricotta ravioli, and it was as advertised--tender pasta stuffed with creamy ricotta.Again, she took more than half home. I chose the carrot cake for dessert and got it to go. It awaits my return from work this afternoon. At first glance, the menu prices seem a bit steep. But when you figure in the high quality, excellent service, and the fact we'll get four or more meals out of it, it's actually a value. Highly recommended.

The 4 of us each had something different from chicken to steak. All of it was excellent

Was very good. The value was great. The salad bar was perfect.  great service.

Ansari's is one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. I have been going there for over 20 years regularly & hope to be going for another 20! If you like gyros, hummus, great beer, or food, this is the place for you!

Everything was delicious and we had great service.
