Week 4: Italy — Savor La Dolce Vita in Edina
Cap off your European escape with a taste of Italy’s warm hospitality, rustic charm, and unforgettable food. From the first sip of espresso to the last bite of gelato, this week is all about savoring life’s simple pleasures.
Start your morning at Edina Coffee Roasters in the Cahill neighborhood with an Italian-style espresso and a fresh baked pastry. Mid-morning, head to Coccinella at 50th & France to browse their authentic Tuscan products and gain insight into the rich flavors of olive oil through a friendly conversation with the owners!
Lunch calls for al fresco dining at 50th & France — try D’Amico & Sons or a wood-fired pizza from Mothership Pizza Paradise. Pair your meal with a bottle of Chianti or Pinot Grigio from France 44 and take your time savoring every bite.
In the afternoon, explore Italian-inspired ceramics and rustic décor at Galleria’s Pottery Barn or Interior Define, with warm Amalfi yellows and earthy textures setting the mood for your Italian retreat.
End your day with dinner at Ciao Bella, where every dish is made in-house with the finest, freshest ingredients—just like in Italy. From handmade pasta to perfectly balanced sauces, it’s a true taste of Italian craftsmanship.
Thanks for joining us on this flavorful journey through Edina, Italian-style. Whether you sipped, strolled, or shopped, we hope you felt a little closer to la dolce vita—right here at home!
