Alex and I celebrated our anniversary recently by eating some fantastic food at Bar La Grassa in the warehouse district of Mpls. They specialize in Italian pastas and bruschetta topped with things like soft eggs and lobster and white anchovy and avocado, which we tried. My favorite dish, the gnocchi with cauliflower and orange was a plate of little pillows of heaven. Seriously, so good. We also had the cheese plate, served with Ames Farm honey and the crab ravioli, both of which were good but not stellar. For desert we had an amazing chocolate caramel cake with peanut brittle. My only complaint is that the crowd paired with the open kitchen and music makes the restaurant quite loud. But despite having to shout at each other, we'd go back because the food was totally worth it.
