" Tasty Italian fare! The garlic bread was a hit, and the alfredo pasta was creamy and fragrant. Service was prompt, making our experience pleasant. I appreciated that they do takeout, perfect for those nights when you want comfort food but prefer to eat at home. Definitely going back for the breadsticks! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my meal at Little Oven. The restaurant has a charming, old-school vibe that I love. It's a cash-only spot, so keep that in mind before visiting! I had the pepperoni pizza, and while it was good, I prefer a more traditional crust. The breadsticks were out of this world though – perfectly crispy! I'll likely return to try their pasta dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the pizza here! It had a perfectly crispy crust and plenty of toppings. The service was fast and the staff were super friendly. This is the kind of place you want to support! The filling of their ravioli was homemade and delicious as well, bringing back great childhood memories of eating Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved my experience at Little Oven! I went there on a whim and could not have been happier. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff made me feel right at home. I ordered the cheese ravioli and it was out of this world. The homemade sauce tasted so fresh! The biggest factor was the portion size—enough to take home leftovers for lunch. Highly recommend visiting this place, especially if you enjoy authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Little Oven is a great local spot. Their pasta dishes are very good, full of flavor. The only downside is they don't take cards, which can be inconvenient. While I enjoyed my meal, the noise level was a bit high, which made conversation difficult. I would still recommend trying their breadsticks; they are fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place for pizza in St. Paul! The vibe is awesome, and their cheese is top-notch. I love how they’re cash-only, because it feels like a proper mom-and-pop shop. Service is usually spot on. I recommend trying their frozen pizzas. I will keep coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was a total disappointment. I arrived with high expectations due to the reviews but left feeling sad. The food seemed like it had been frozen and reheated, lacking the home-cooked feel I was hoping for. The service was rushed, and the waitress seemed overwhelmed. Maybe it was an off day, but I don't think I’ll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
