“We have been going to Al Vento regularly for many years and it's one of our go-to places. The food is always terrific. We went last weekend and had the Halibut. It was one of the best meals we've had there. Al Vento is one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities.”

“Our server Noah was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and provided the right amount of attention to our needs. The Tasting Menu was a pleasant surprise from the last time we were at this restaurant. Happy we decided to give this restaurant another chance.”

“Was the first time we dined there and overall really enjoyed it. My beer was on menu as a pale ale but was a wheat ale and the service was good but not extraordinary. Food was good. Will definitely go back.”

“Brought some people from out of town and set high expectations as this is a favorite spot of mine. Al Vento did not disappoint. While they were very busy and it took a little while for our orders to be taken, that was rectified fairly quickly and the food was incredible. From the bruschetta and mushrooms to pasta, halibut and pizza - everyone commented on how delicious the meal was. The only disappointment was one member of our party had a gin and tonic arrive with flat tonic water which they immediately offered to replace. As usual, the wine selection was fairly priced and our server gave very good recommendations. An overall very good experience.”

“Our experience with service at Al Vento has been uniformly excellent. The wait staff are always very attentive, the ambience is very nice and the covered patio a real plus. Our only issue is that the entree prices are steep.”

“Had dinner from the Tasting Menu. Food and service were very good. Sat in the enclosed patio for a relaxing and pleasant experience. We will return.”
