Absolutely the WORST customer service experience I have ever had. After the server wasn't removing dishes from our table after food was delivered, we helped her by neatly stacking our dishes and placing them on a wine stand that was out of the way and not in use. The manager (who we hadn't seen all night) came by to scold us for over a minute for putting dishes on the wine holder, and insinuated that we were being Impatient with the server. I have never seen a manager behave that way. And then the server decided to treat us similarly for the rest of the meal. TERRIBLE experience. Jackie (the assistant manager) needs massive customer service training. Hope she gets it.

Although showing early for reservations we had to wait and additionally people were seated not in order of who showed up and regardless of reservations. It was really disappointing especially when reservations were made a month out. I looked forward to the visit as this was recommended by many people. The food was worth waiting for and I would go back again. I would hope the reception hosts get there act together. JLP

WE love La Grassa. It was a bit noisy, even more so than usual perhaps. We were a group of 5 and it was basically impossible to talk to anyone other than those next to you, even though we were at a round table. I love the music they play, but perhaps a bit lower on the volume so folks don't feel the need to yell.

Absolutely wonderful. I would go back again in a heartbeat, and plan to! Great service and ambiance, and the food was so unique in the best possible way. Don't miss the calamarata with raw tuna...maybe doesn't sound that appealing, but it was heavenly.

Music is good but way too loud. You can create an energetic environment and still allow your guests to have a conversation. Everything else-Perfect!!!

The food was excellent, and the small plates are great for sharing. The service was good, as well. Although we went for an early dinner so it wasn't too crowded, the close proximity of the tables makes for a very noisy atmosphere. The table of four seated next to us were less than 2 feet away, and they were so loud that it was hard to tune them out and have our own conversation.

Way over rated and VERY disappointed. So ridiculously loud we literally had to shout across the table. Pulled pork bruschetta was ice cold out of the refrigerator and our waiter was horribly embarrassed and naturally didn't charge us. I would not go back or recommend to others. With so many great restaurants that have popped up in Minneapolis there is no need to return to BLG.

Fresh pasta at its finest. Lobster and soft egg appetizer was wonderful. Cauliflower and gnocchi with orange was inventive and just right. Desserts were a bit disappointing.
