Comments (0) BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT--NOT CHEAP - 2001
Ristorante Luci
The cliché about Italian cooking runs thus: French food is about technique, Italian merely about ingredients. In Minnesota, however, ingredients don't come easy: Tracking down the best prosciutto, filleting the freshest trout, making your own mozzarella, securing the most sought-after amarones--frankly, it's a lot easier to simply throw a lot of béchamel sauce around and call it a day. That's why we're so grateful for fussy, obsessive Ristorante Luci, where the pastas that should be homemade are homemade, and there's evidence of purity of intention and execution on every plate.
