Risata Cucina

Delicious handmade pasta, extensive amaro list. Beef tartare was incredible (as someone who doesn't usually enjoy tartare). Excited to have a new spot in Birdtown!

My husband and I came out to try the newest addition to the downtown Robbinsdale dining scene and we really enjoyed the experience! The gnocchi and swordfish were great, and we topped off the night with a truly delicious affogato and cup of decaf coffee. We will definitely be back!

Came here for a birthday dinner and was greeted very warmly by a nice hostess and it kind of went downhill there. Firstly, it’s incredibly loud - there’s not really any sound absorption so it sounds like you’re in a loud auditorium. It’s hard to have a conversation with someone sitting at the same table, and I can barely hear the servers.

The pastas were on point, but I need to talk about that grilled mortadella on a stick, because that thing took me on a journey. It started as a simple bite, and then somewhere between the first and second chew I felt myself evolving. Next thing I know Im daydreaming of the State Fair, wearing cutoff jeans and a fanny pack in 72 degree weather floating over the crowds, nodding in approval like I’ve been training my whole life for this exact moment. It wasn’t just food, it was a full transformation into my final form as a true Minnesotan, where everything worth eating belongs on a stick and somehow tastes better becau
