“ I've been there with a large group of a dozen. And smaller of 3. Healthy portions. Stuff you won't find otherwise. And try the corn creme brulee! The dishes themselves are very nice. Beautiful colors. They did run out of chalk though.. otherwise you can draw on the tablecloths. ”
“ Best fine dining in Park Rapids. Thoughtful touches throughout — even an “on the house” baby charcuterie board for the little one. We’ll be back! ”
“ 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! ”
“ My friend Kathi & I were here for my birthday lunch. We have not been to Necce’s since they remodeled. Beautiful inside. We sat outside on the patio on this beautiful day. Our meals were delicious! She had a Bacon Cheeseburger Bowl & I had the Ry’s Chicken Caesar Salad. Excellent service. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on recommendations. ”
“ Outstanding, authentic Italian cuisine. We got the 29 charcuterie board and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of meats and cheeses, absolutely worth the price. I ordered the most expensive entree, the steak and mushroom dish, one of the best steaks I've eaten anywhere all year. ”
“ Unbelievable food. This was our first time here after hearing a ton of great things from various friends and we absolutely loved it. Excellent cocktails followed by what was easily some of the best Fettuccine Alfredo I’ve had that was rich, creamy and had a wonderfully deep garlic flavor. We also tried the shrimp scampi which was also fantastic. For dessert we finished with the carrot cake that had a mascarpone cream cheese frosting and then also the creme brulee that had a refreshing orange zest finish. One important piece to note is that you should definitely make reservations in advance as they fill up very quickly. If your not from the Park Rapids area it is absolutely worth the drive to eat here. We will hopefully be coming back soon. (Note for the owners: We would love to see you guys on Instagram! Just saying!) ”
“ 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. ”
“ Great burgers and pasta. I don't think I've ever had a server as good as Jackie. Although we were there on one of the coldest evenings of the winter and our table was close to the door we totally enjoyed our hot meal and beverages. We will be returning. First class restaurant in a small Minnesota town! Forgot..... awesome deserts. ”
