Visited today with friends. Food was good and the place is actually very pretty. We got the salt and flour for the table, pretty tasty but nothing remarkable, i got the bucatini Alfredo with meatballs and I liked it a lot! My friends had the wagyu burger and they loved it! I try the side fries, they were so good. Only downside was the service we got our server was notttt having us, he had a really condescending attitude the entire time and everyone on the table felt pretty uncomfortable with him. On the other hand our food runner was so nice! Bittersweet experience read more

Made a reservation for dinner. When I arrived there were a handful of people standing in the entryway and I think we were all a little confused as we waiting to be greeted or for someone to help us. Our server was really attentive and patient with us. We ordered an appetizer, pizza, three pastas, and two desserts to split between four of us. This was plenty of food with enough to take some home. Our favorite was the pork and peas pasta. And as someone who can get sick if pasta is cheap or poorly made, I can attest that Salt and Flour has good pasta. The restaurant is beautiful and even features a little market. The only downfall is parking. I did street parking on 3rd; which was it really easy. If you follow Google Maps to park you end up in an ally, under the highway and have to hike up a bunch of stairs to get to the restaurant. It's confusing and you'll probably need to ask the parking attendant for help. read more

It's exciting to try a new restaurant in the North Loop and in a very fun area. We sat on the bar side which is the louder side so if making a reservation and you want a quieter section ask for the tables vs. the high tops. We were greeted by a lovely server who asked in so many words for our patience as they were only open five days. I appreciated that greatly. I had the Spicy Paloma which was fabulous and not too spicy. Then we shared the Matty sandwich which was so tasty but it was borderline cold to Luke warm. Then we shared the ground wagu bucatini. It was good but sweet and interesting not your usual bolognese type dish. We would for sure go back and order some different items. I tried the pizza as well which I liked. read more

Underwhelming and overpriced. Definitely get a ride share or walk if you're able. Parking was a nightmare. The lot next door was essentially full, so we had to do valet. I'm not faulting the restaurant. But just a consideration for others when they go. The place was packed! The tables are pretty close together. Not a place to have an intimate dinner. Our server wasn't necessarily rude, but I wouldn't say she was friendly either. She pushed bottles of wine right away which seemed in poor taste. The food is mostly why I say it's underwhelming and overpriced. Our table split the burrata and focaccia with peaches for an appetizer. The flavors were good, but it would have been better if the bread and peaches were warmed. I ordered the mushroom pappardelle and my partner got the wagyu bucatini. Both were way too salty, not warm enough, and seemed sloppily thrown together. Not worth the prices at all. read more

Amazing food and drinks at the new Salt & Flour in north loop. I ordered the rose and raspberry mocktail and also the pasta with sausage, peas, and pancetta in a creamy white sauce. It was incredible and also made for good leftovers as the portions were pretty large I did mark down a star because this is a small restaurant and they really pack the tables in right next to each other, which makes it very loud. Pro tip, go behind the building and down the stairs to the North Loop Green space, they always have events going on. read more

Not the best pasta I've ever had but certainly far from the worst. I got the Berkshire Pork & Peas and thought it was delicious - I'd definitely got back for it. My friend got the Chorizo & Fennel and I thought it was just alright. The restaurant ambiance is also just fine in my opinion. I thought it was a nicer place but then all the TVs had games on so FYI if you're looking for a place to watch sports. The most annoying part is parking so FYI there's no parking right at the restaurant. read more

It pains me to write this review but sadly was reality. Was so excited to try this new spot downtown and it did not deliver. Had a reservation and got seated right away - the place is sizeable and atmosphere reminds me almost like a food hall. We waited a few minutes to get greeted and then ordered drinks. After waiting some more we flagged the server down to order an appetizer which came out before said drinks.. bar was quite backed up. The server was nice however didn't seem to know much as he didn't walk us through the menu and recommendations were poor. I asked for the pasta bowl with vodka sauce which I was told wasn't spicy, and the bolognese was (never had spicy bolognese). Well it was quite spicy and the add on charge for the cheese wheel was so not worth it. It was literally like a melted glob of cheese on top...We also ordered the grinder sandwich which was honestly not good. The only thing we liked was the burrata appetizer but it was nothing special. We didn't finish 3/4 of our food which our server clearly realized how poor we thought the meals were but didn't say anything and just brought the full bill. Honestly was soooo disappointed in this visit across the board and based on the experience don't see myself returning. You are better off going to Olive Garden. read more

I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars because for only being open 3 weeks, they were immaculate. Our waiters name was Justin, he was knowledgeable, energetic, and friendly. Starting off strong - the Caesar salad was one of the best I've had. Strong anchovy flavor but I prefer that (keep in mind). We had the chorizo & fennel pasta and the ground wagyu & bucatini. Both were great, 4/5 stars. I've had more flavorful pasta in Minneapolis, however it was cooked Al Dente and was a good amount of spice. Justin advised us that the ground wagyu and bucatini was a much different flavor profile and he was right. Doesn't mean it wasn't delicious, just not typical Italian. I would describe the vibe/atmosphere as modern, open, and bright, definitely brand new! I'd come back, excited to see how this place evolves :) read more

Awesome experience at Salt and Flour in Downtown Minneapolis! The service was top-notch and the food absolutely delivered. Chef Garris and his crew do an amazing job -- hands down the best margarita pizza in Minneapolis. Also, tried the chicken fettuccine-which was amazing! The atmosphere is fun, the bar is fantastic, and it's a great place to hang out with friends. Definitely worth checking out! read more

You always have to have some grace when a location just opens as you know teams are fresh etc. but sadly it really could have been better. We went in with plans before even walking in the doors on our meals and apps to find the menu online was different to what was in front of us. Its fine, totally fine cause sometimes the new might be better. Order up was Charred Meatballs & Ricotta- vodka sauce was good with a little zip the meatballs where almost TOO charred where burnt parts were super chewy. Focaccia was a good pairing with this, is extra but bread is life so order it! Dinner choices both which were not on the menu online but the pasta was similar as Nate had comfort in mind when ordering. He orders the Berkshire Pork and Peas which was exactly that.... a comfort food and would highly recommend. I went for pretty much the Spaghetti Sandwich- not at all on the menu online but peeked my interest -which is deep fried spaghetti with a Mariana sauce and mozzarella with a side of garlic fries. And this is where it fell flat. It was cold... like really cold all the way to the center cold, cheese cold etc and our server never came back to check on us till Nate was done with his meal and I had to ask for To-Go boxes so for me to even ask if that was correct if it was meant to be served cold was over due and I had moved on to disappointment. Is this to be made warm with a cheese pull on it? Is that a requirement to make it a hot sandwich? Not sure cause I never got to ask. :( Would I be back. Its not on my repeat list anytime soon. I hope they do great and work it all out. read more

We had a very nice meal. Caesar salad was excellent. The seasoned breadcrumbs and fried anchovies added to the tasty Caesar dressing. The wagyu bucatini had the Asian fusion flavor. Had a lot going on, but very nice. The chorizo and fennel was very tasty, light on the salt which I appreciated. The pork and peas had plenty of pancetta, not much pork. All pastas were coooked just right. Good size portions but all pastas could have had a bit more flavor. Salt and flour pizza was very good. Salami and pepperoni was a good combination and the crust was buttery and done perfectly. Nathan was our server. After asking, found out he was newer. Very friendly, but it was apparent he could use more time to get the flow going better. We will try again. Lots more we would like to try on the menu. Wish the restaurant well! read more

Fun new restaurant with mediocre food. This place is brand new and has all the right decor and menu items for an instagram photoshoot, but the food is very average. I really expected this to be amazing and almost everything was good, not great. From the drinks to the appetizers to the entrees. They also pack tables together so we got to get nice and cozy with our neighbors. Service was good, and there was typical north loop parking around the restaurant. read more

me and my friends went out for a fun girls night. The drinks were extremely overpriced and terrible. I got an amaretto sour didn't taste anything like an amaretto sour. I had to choke it down. Then I got fettuccine Alfredo because I'm a picky eater and that was the most basic thing I could get on the menu and it was absolutely terrible. I couldn't even eat it. I spent $45 at this restaurant for two things. I didn't love. Me and my friends are in our younger 20s and the waiter didn't treat us very well because he assumed we were younger. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

The second we walked in we loved the atmosphere! Large and inviting yet a cozy feeling. We sat at the bar and ordered each course! First off was the Mushroom Fondue, the bread was perfectly charred and went swimmingly with the large chunks or artichoke and mushroom. Second we went with the Short Rib Curry, talk about melt in your mouth! The fusion of the gnocchi and curry was fantastic! My wife went with the Birkshire Pork & Kale, unforgettable! The pasta is cooked to perfection and the serving are more than enough! Lastly, and now one of my favorites, the Brown Butter Rice Crispy Tart..... out of this world! The peanut butter mousse is to die for! I only give this establishment a 5 because it won't let me go any higher! Keep up the great work! read more

Vibe, decor and ambiance good but the food eh! We got the smoked whiskey sour and the gin fizz which were good but my spring and polenta dish was gross. So much polenta - this huge ball and 4 shrimp buried and hard to find and not much favor. The hot honey pizza was good. For the focaccia and brunt burrata to share and there wasn't enough to share for 4 people - maybe for 1 or two Very expensive - pizza $30 and you can find better for less read more

Had a drink at the bar. Great service and drink delicious. Hopeful to get back and try food.

Came 5 days before Christmas, so it was obviously busy- but we had a reservation so we got seated right away. Very cozy and nicely decorated restaurant. The cocktails looked really good, but I just can't spend $16 on a drink, so I got a Prosecco. The menu was great - something for everyone. My friends and I shared the meatballs and they were delicious! The vodka sauce was amazing. I ordered the Berkshire pork & kale pasta dish. This is their twist on a traditional carbonara. Great flavors, but there was a lot of the chopped pork which kind of took over the dish. My friend got the mortadella grilled cheese. She didn't realize what mortadella was and thought it was a type of cheese, to her surprise this sandwich had a ton of meat in it. We now know what mortadella is! The mortadella was good, but there was so much meat in it that she had to take some out. Might be a good thing for people who love mortadella! But overall was a good sandwich. The fries that came with her meal were AMAZING! I'd definitely like to come back and try more things on the menu! read more

The food was very good, we were three that shared two app, the burrata, the meatball, the burrata was not very flavorful, but good, the meatballs were amazing with the vodka sauce. We shared the beet salad, was good but sliced so thin you could barely pick it up, and the pasta bowl which was amazing. I had the margarita, was very good but small. The others had expresso cocktail, just ok, but $18. The parking ramp very very convenient next door read more

A few interesting menu items like rabbit, octopus, escargot didn't quite hit. Octopus was missing char and flavor, beans made it even more odd. Escargot portion was generous, the sauce was on a sour side. The best dish we had was the pizza - cheesy with a good crust. Overall combination of drinks, food and service didn't have us craving for desserts or coming back for more. read more

The service could have been better. It took quite a while for the server to come and take our order. When she finally did, it still took her a couple of minutes to bring me my coffee. Additionally, our food arrived at intervals of about seven minutes apart, which was quite frustrating. One person in our party was especially affected, as she didn't receive her food until we inquired about it. I also found the chairs to be extremely uncomfortable. Overall, the food was just okay, and the service did not meet the expectations set by the restaurant's many good ratings. One visit was enough for me. read more

New Italian/comfort food style restaurant as part of the Hope Breakfast bar group. We got the octopus which had a southern flare, almost New Orleans style taste, and was a bit spicy. The burnt Burrata with peaches was tasty and a good app to share. The saffron prawns had a great portion of big shrimp. The polenta was flavorful but a big amount so hard to finish for 1 guest, easily shareable. Pasta bowl with bolognese was a bit bland and watered down. We added the torched cheese. The cheese is an extra cost of $6, and it is not table side but you can watch the chef torching the Parmesan bowl if you want! We would have liked more cheese for that price. The strawberry shortcake tiramisu was our favorite, great flavor and again a big portion. Lots of cocktails and wine list. Reservation is recommended for sure. There is valet parking or a parking ramp down the street. Service was fast and we had a good experience in general! read more

We came for an early dinner on a Friday. The service was great. The food was extremely underwhelming. The rigatoni was undercooked (and not just al dente- undercooked), meatballs were dry, and sauce lacked a robust flavor. I expected more, but after reading other reviews, I should have expected this. The positives were the ambiance, Caesar salad, and the service. Glad we came to try it but wouldn't come back. read more

Food was maybe average. I got the vodka rigatoni and it tasted like tomato sauce. My fiancé got the matty Matheson and was disappointed he said it tasted burnt, unseasoned, and too bready. Service was fine, slow but fine. The cucumber salad was good! Best thing we ordered. Also hard to find using GPS read more

Underwhelmed. If you are expecting Italian food this is not the place. I'm all in on new twists or Italian fusion but I didn't find these recipes very good-plus cook the pasta! I like al dente but this was just short. 2 of us had the ground wagu and bucatini. Didn't care for the Polynesian flavors. My husband had the Short rib curry. They list gnocchi with it-this is not gnocchi! It's some hard little pasta. He sent it back since "the pasta" wasn't cooked-it was crunchy. They tried 2 more times to get it right. She thankfully took it off our bill because he couldn't eat it. Ok I may be a little bias since we just got back from Italy but I was expecting more. I get this is Italian fusion but I think they are trying too hard to put together flavors that just don't work. read more

I really wanted to love Salt and Flour, especially since I visited during their first week of opening. I'm hoping they're still just ironing out the kinks. That said, the service on a Friday night was slower than expected. Our server was hardly around, forgetting parts of our order. For instance when we asked for a dirty martini, it came out as a regular one. After requesting extra olive juice, we eventually had to go to the bar ourselves to get it. When the food arrived, it was just okay. The potato planks felt like glorified French fries with a thin, watery sauce--not worth the hype. Also, don't bother paying extra for the cheese wheel for your pasta, because it's not served table side. The crab dip, beets, and pastas were fine, but nothing memorable. We were celebrating a friend's birthday, but they don't offer candles or a birthday dessert, which was a bit of a letdown. The venue has a great vibe, and I really want them to succeed, but it felt like they were understaffed and the kitchen wasn't quite in sync yet. I'm hoping they can pull it together because the space has so much potential! read more

The food was extremely bland and overpriced. The butternut squash ravioli was 28 dollars and came with 5 raviolis submerged in milk practically. The service was ok. The chicken Alfredo had horrible chicken on it and again the pasta was very bland. read more

Food was ok, I'd rate 2-3 out of 5. The menu is creative and all sounded delicious. We had the meatballs and potato slabs; the meatballs were patties (not balls) and the fondue was more mustard gravy vs cheese. We had to ask for salt and pepper, then our dish was ok. Service was mediocre, not bad, but not attentive. We went for the Parmesan bowl service, and paid for it....but it's against the health code....Seriously?! Take it off the menu!! read more
