I am Italian by birth and education and while now Minnesota is my adoptive home, can still recognize Italian food. Arezzo is as good as it gets here in the Midwest and while pricey and not without flaws it is much closer to what one would get in Italy than most other supposedly Italian restaurants in Twin Cities. Another reviewer complained about the gnocchi. Maybe he should know that gnocchi are actually made from potatoes and are not meant to taste like pasta! Arezzo gnocchi are actually quite decent and reasonably close to the real thing (incidentally good gnocchi are difficult to get at a restaurant in Italy too). Unfortunately, when restaurants try to get close to the real taste, too many people seems to be put off by the fact they are eating something different than the fantasy food of places like Buca and Maggiano's.
