Zuppa Cucina is a great local Minnesota restaurant for people who love sandwiches and Italian food. Minnesota can't get enough!

This is our go-to place for ordering soups, salads, wraps, and pizza...We typically get their southwest chicken pizza, the Italian chopped salad, but rotate our soup and sandwiches.

I think the Sioux Empire will agree that Bread & Circus Sandwich Kitchen in Sioux Falls is one of the best in town. They are known for tasty food including soups, salads, creative bowls, and of course sandwiches.

Loved dining at this progressive, welcoming, and relaxed restaurant while passing through Sioux Falls. The menu had some interesting and noteworthy sandwich and non-sandwich options, and I loved that every sandwich could be prepared as a salad!

The Patty Melt rules. I particularly loved the pickle relish. Friendly service and enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful day.
