7. Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano

Waited for a table about 10 minutes but was worth the wait. It was crowded but hostesses were pleasant. Our waiter Mike was excellent, very knowledgeable about menu. Food quality was very good and time food arrived to table after ordering was very reasonable. We had the chicken marsala and risotto. Prices are very reasonable. We didn't feel ripped off like so many other restaurants these days. We enjoyed it and would definitely return to Biaggi's in future.

Christopherâs has been around for years and I have eaten there many times over the last 20+ years. Though I had not been there for some time. Recently I had family in town that wanted to go there since they to had not been for years. We were greeted by friendly staff and made sure we had what we needed. The food did not disappoint, it was as good as it had always been. I did miss the dinner rolls they used to serve, the were great. Otherwise all was great!

Every single thing about our meal here was fantastic! Our server was bright and knowledgeable helped us out with some beverage selections. The food was very good â lasagna was a high Point, delicious sauce and sausage. You could tell it was made with care. The Prosciutto Shrimp was also a stand out! Donât miss out on dessert either⦠They fill their cannolis to order in true Italian fashion.

I have heard about this place for awhile and finally tried it. I had some pizza Chicago style which I liked. When I was in Chicago and only time before I had Chicago style pizza I didn't like it so it surprised me. I also had the adult mac and Cheese which was so good. I would go back for sure, and tell others to try it..

We have tried this restaurant 4 times. Very inconsistent. On two occasions the pizza has been fantastic. Ordered the Spartacus which is a thin crust pizza with Grazianoâs sausage, pepperoni, and banana peppers. However, on the other two occasions the pizza was terrible. Primary issue was the crust. On one visit the crust was so dry and powdered with flour that it was inedible. Our most recent visit was carry out and the pizza crust was burned badly. Large pizza costs over $20. Would like to see more consistent pie for the price.

This is a terrific small, old school place. Visiting from out of state, we were surprised at our luck in finding this friendly, well run restaurant. Simon, the owner, greets you at the door and visits the table a couple of times while you're there. The waitstaff is friendly and engaging. Drinks were just right and more than modestly priced. The food is excellent- we had steaks and they were done correctly and absolutely delicious. The sides showed the same approach as the steaks- the veg of the day (asparagus) was as good as I've had anywhere. There was complementary red velvet cake as desert ( made by the owner's parents). It warms your heart to see business like this that reflects the owner's passion and love. Come early- seating is limited and it fills up within minutes of opening. Prices are too cheap- Simon should charge a more ( I RARELY feel that a meal is too inexpensive but this is it.) We'll be here every time we come to Des Moines in the future

Great place for pizza & other Italian dishes. It is locally owned by a family who have a few other establishments in the state of Iowa. Entertaining for the kids, as they have a window into the kitchen where you can watch them make the pizza.
