Necces Italiano Restaurante

Solid 5 stars. Across multiple consistently wonderful visits. I want to start off by highlighting the incredible quality of service, ambiance, libations, cuisine and “vibe”. The whole experience is much more than delicious flavors and top tier atmosphere, it’s a memory that you’ll want to keep experiencing. The menu is crafted with authentic, fresh and unique options. Nightly special dishes are out of this world and quite the rarity for northern Minnesota. Wow. Libations are also exquisite- perfect to pair with the heavenly edibles you will indulge in. I Usually go for a bottle of Italian wine (hand picked variety/options) but on my latest endeavor I was over joyed to try what they call a “curious elixirs”. N/A cocktails crafted just as passionately as their boozy counterparts and just as refreshing. Huge fan. Service is personable yet professional- I know our friends here are dedicated and seasoned in the industry. Consistent every time. I can’t recommend one particular dish, they offer a wide variety of options and each of which I have tried is incredible. Portions are hearty and presentation is immaculate. Like I said, it’s a whole experience. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation asap.

Upon arrival we were offered a table in the bar which we usually like .. however tonight because of the chilly weather conditions we were cold… they offered to move us in front of the fireplace which they fired up just for us .. the food was spectacular as seen in the photos..chicken Marsala, margarita pizza and a delicious spaghetti with meat and wonderful tomato sauce…but the surprise of the night were the zucchini fritters which were absolutely amazing! This is one of our favorite spots in the Northwoods and Necces never fails to deliver a fabulous dining experience!

If you like Italian food, this is a hidden gem in Park Rapids, MN that you have to try! All the food in our party was delicious. The service was great, and the carrot cake was the best I have ever had. My wife had the Brownie and it was amazing.

An unexpected delight in this touristy lakes town. The staff were warm and welcoming with their small town charm. The atmosphere echoed the staff's warmth, and the food did not disappoint! I very much look forward to returning to enjoy their expanded dinner menu.

I absolutely loved my experience here! The food was great, me and my boyfriend had the swordfish, it was delicious. The mozzarella sticks were great too. We didn’t have a reservation and they got us in right away. Really recommend.

Was visiting the area from WA State. A friend brought me here. What a wonderful surprise in Park Rapids. The meal was delicious. I had the lasagna. Although a bit messy to eat, was worth it. Loaded with cheese and authentic fennel sausage and not overpowered by the sauce. Served in the cassoulet it was baked in. Yum. My friend had the mushroom pasta - excellent mushroom sauce, not only mushrooms added to pasta. Generous serving sizes; we both left with takeout containers. So good and pasta 6 stars. Out server could use some more training on attention to customer service. And I'd recommend that elders not be seated at a high top. Looking forward to my next visit to MN, so I can dine here again.
