That being said, I know what I like there, so I usually order the same thing. I highly recommend the spinach tortellini with meat sauce--it's so rich and wonderful! Definitely get it with garlic bread, and if you really are a fan of sauce, ask for extra. The salads are sparse and bland, so don't fill up there. Wait for dessert! I'm telling you, you won't find a better cannoli in town. These are the desserts of the gods. I am speaking here with the utmost seriousness--if you miss the cannoli, you won't understand why this place deserves at least 4 stars. In fact, the only reason I'm giving Minneci's 4 out of 5 stars is because of the sad attempt at a mojito I had there recently. The time before last, I had a mixed drink and it was excellent, but this mojito must've been made from the tears of a despondent bartender; it was so watery, I could barely tell it had any rum in it. Basically, avoid the mojitos and nosedive straight into the cannoli and you'll be golden.\n\nI've also tried the homemade cheese lasagna with meat sauce and the pizza margherita, and they are both excellent. As far as pizza goes, this is pretty decent stuff. It's not the best you'll find in a swanky Italian joint, but the fact it has fresh basil on it is a major step up, in my book.\n\nMinneci's didn't used to accept reservations, but they do now, so if you're headed there on Valentine's Day or another holiday, definitely call in advance."^^ . .
