Editorial Review for Muffuletta Cafe – by Annamarie Cumpston

In Short
Avoid the noisy booths by the kitchen and the dimly lit tables by the cleaning supplies, and angle for a window seat. In warm weather, dine on the large outdoor deck, and see the beautiful St. Anthony Park Library. Starters include Muffuletta's spicy signature 1977 Beer-Cheese Soup (the year of the recipe) and succulent jumbo lump crab cakes. Twists on pasta dominate, but there's also chicken with figs, peppered salmon, along with the New Orleans-style sandwiches that gave Muffuletta its name.

The Extras

On weekends, Muffuletta offers brunch and midday meals like homemade berry pancakes with blueberry-basil compote, eggs benedict, breakfast pizza and cheddar-buttermilk biscuits and gravy.

User Reviews for Muffuletta Cafe

2 Star Rating: Below Average

06/24/2008 Posted by fretenstew

While the setting is lovely and the food was above average, our table of seven was treated to sloppy service this mid-week evening. Three requests brought another basket of bread, two for water refills, the dessert menu was presented but the waiter never returned to inquire as to whether we wished to order dessert, no coffee was offered, and several requests were necessary to receive the bill. The 20% tip was automatically added to our check, so there was no means to express our disappointment with service via our tip. Not a good night at Muffuletta.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This was one of the freshest meals I have ever had. I think this restaurant has a great mission that will make it remain a classic for years to come. Great location, great atmosphere.
