Bellanotte

DOWNTOWN. This suave downtown spot promises an evening of fine dining and a sophisticated, white linen setting. Italian-inspired cuisine is the specialty, and sure to impress the palate are dishes such as butternut squash ravioli, penne vodka tossed with salmon, and four-layer lasagna with ground beef Bolognese sauce and sweet ground sausage. After dinner, make your way over to the beautiful onyx-topped bar and enjoy some of Minneapolis' best people-watching. Wednesday nights feature live jazz from 7:30pm-9:30pm, and you can land terrific drink and food specials during happy hour.
