La Mesa - Minneapolis

LOVE this place. I eat here once a month and have NEVER had one thing I didn’t love. Appetizers, pizzas, mains, drinks and desserts all fabulous!!!! Service and servers are amazing.

Sad to see some bad reviews on here, as we've had nothing but a wonderful experience. We live in the neighbor and frequent La Mesa 1-2/month and whenever we have guests visit we make sure to bring them along. Everyone has always loved the food and the staff are wonderful.For those leaving bad reviews about the hostess, not getting a table, or having to wait, this is a small establishment with only a few cooks on hand. I don't believe they ever turn people way to be rude, but simply because they are trying to ensure their staff isn't overwhelmed and that they can prepare high quality food. If you make a reservation (online or by phone) you will have no problems!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free friendly!

I live in the neighborhood and was excited to have a sit down restaurant within walking distance! After an initial uncomfortable encounter with the hostess I decided to give La Mesa three more tries, which leads me to this unfortunate review.Every server I have had has been great, but with average food and unbearably rude hostess I won’t be subjecting myself to giving it a 5th try. Truly hope these experiences are unique to me as I’d like nothing more than to see businesses succeed in the neighborhood.

Interesting menu, wonderful experience, great food, top-notch service!

We have always had a five star experience with this neighborhood restaurant. Food is great, service is always friendly and helpful, love the music, garage doors are open to the outdoors and sidewalk tables are available, all making for a nice experience. The corn pizzas are a favorite for take-out on busy weeknights with no time to cook. And don't skip dessert, they are culinary works of art!
