Trent Jonas came to Minnesota to attend college - and never left. He's a Twin Cities-based writer with a BA in English and a MFA in creative writing, a Minnesota Master Naturalist, and the proud father of two adult children. With more than a decade of freelance writing experience under his belt, Trent is often out exploring his favorite topics: Minnesota's woods, lakes, and trails. Rhubarb pie is his weakness, so discovering new diners is also a passion.
When I go out, I tend to prefer smaller, cozier restaurants. The experience feels more personalized, and of course, they’re ideal if you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy a quiet conversation and the company of your dining companion. One intimate restaurant in Minnesota where you’ll find just the kind of ambiance and service I’m describing is the wonderful Tutto Bene in Bemidji.
You'll find Tutto Bene in its bright, Tuscan yellow building in charming downtown Bemidji.
Although high-ceiling and cozy, the tables are spaced so that you can enjoy the company of your dining companion rather than the conversations from other tables.
The menu at this Italian-inspired restaurant rotates on a regular basis - about weekly - so you'll have the opportunity to try new dishes each time you visit.
You'll find several pasta offerings on the menu, ranging from the simple, such as spaghetti and meatballs, to more inspired dishes like snow crab-stuffed ravioli.
But the restaurant strives to have fresh offerings flown in on a regular basis to ensure that its customers get the freshest fish and seafood in the region.

The restaurant's bar program is no slouch, either.
