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.

Great Lunch Menu

by Altruist

Muffuletta’s Café offers a great lunch menu. I enjoyed the ambiance and the varied lunch menu. The server was very friendly and offered the better lunch selections. The $5 glasses of wine were a nice addition.

I recommend the Muffuletta's for lunch.

  • Pros: High Quality Food, Great Wine Selection

Great Food, Inattentive Service

by stevekathg

The Dinner-of-the-Month crew ended up in St. Paul for the July dinner. Everyone enjoyed the food and the restaurant itself. Our waitress was professional; at least the few times we saw her throughout the evening. She took a long time to notice that the last two of our group had arrived and needed drinks, was nowhere in sight when our entrees came out, didn't come to check on us until we were almost done, and forgot to bring me the wine flight I ordered (worse, she seemed to know it was missing when I was finally able to get her attention). Heck, the waterboy was the first to notice that some of us needed drink refills. This unfortunately distracted from an otherwise flawless meal. I had the gnocchi with duck confit, which while a little too salty, was very flavorful and lighter than it sounded or looked. My wife had the mufulletta sandwich, which was very good and not at all greasy like they are at some places. We also shared an order of the mac and cheese, which was also very good (and they were nice enough to split it up for us into individual plates. We would definitely go back, and hope for a better server. There was a nice selecetion of wines by the glass at reasonable prices, and the wine flights were well priced at $12 and included some interesting selections. Wish I could tell you how the wines were, but as I mentioned, I never got. P.S. - no attempt was made to comp us anything for the oversight.

  • Pros: Great Food, Good Prices, Nice Atmosphere and Location
  • Cons: Inattentive Service

Yummy food, great presentation

by sundaze11

I dined here as a guest of a small wedding, so I can't comment on the prices, but the food was amazing. The bride and groom had a custom menu put together for their party and the food was just divine and expertly presented. I had an excellent beet salad that had nuts, a cream dressing and crispy green onions... The flavors of the ingredients were so unexpected, but perfectly complimented one another. The main courses looked equally fantastic. Salmon complimented with a pomegranate glaze and greens was perfect- again an amazing blend of flavors. The other dishes looked equally fantastic. Desert and service were out of this world as well. For a party of 30, I was impressed with Ian, the sole waiter who handled our room!
