    Best chopped salad in town. Best turkey focaccia in Minnesota - comes served warm. Delicious. Great staff and cozy atmosphere. The soups are top notch with fan favorite chicken wild rice. Fabulous pizzas as well. You can get any pizza as a kids size pizza. Shoutout to the cookies by Flourpowercompany.com. They are so good and Zuppa sells them at their restaurant. This restaurant is a cafe style where you order at the counter and they bring you your food. Definitely a must visit on Shakopee!

    Turkey Focaccia Pasta Salad
    Debra M.

    I learned my lesson of ordering waaay too much food, so this time I got 1/2 Roasted Veggies on ciabatta which was the perfect size with a cup of Three Onion Potato soup. (As is my habit I also got a salad to have for lunch the next day.) The sandwich's roasted veggies are plentiful and I needed a fork to get it to a size where I could pick it up, and still some veggies slid out. It was a deliciously messy sandwich, which is the best kind! Flavorful, toasted bread and a generous portion of roast onions, peppers, shallots, and more. The Three Onion Potato soup was thick and packed with flavor. The onions were not detectable except by flavor, meaning they must be puréed into the potatoes and the result is delightful. The Florentine salad is spinach with orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, kalmata olives, roasted onions and more. Pine nuts add a nice crunch and goat cheese add creaminess. The balsamic vinaigrette was perfect on it and a small was a perfect size for lunch the next day. I'm getting hungry just writing this review of Zuppa's mouthwatering food!

    Southwest chicken pizza

    This is our go-to place for ordering soups, salads, wraps, and pizza. They have a great indoor space, but we've always ordered online and picked up the food to go. We typically get their southwest chicken pizza, the Italian chopped salad, but rotate our soup and sandwiches. The to-go service is outstanding and the orders have always been correct.

    Marinated chicken focaccia sandwich and stuffed bell pepper soup
    Mike W.

    We've been here a couple times now and each time has been such a positive experience! The folks working here are so friendly and helpful! The sandwiches and soup are soooo good! The dining area is always kept nice and clean, everything by the drink station as well. The first time we came, I got the veggie ciabatta sandwich that had the portabella and roasted zucchini, with the tomato basil feta soup on the side, and it was all insanely delicious! This time around I tried the marinated chicken focaccia sandwich, which was kinda of like a Greek salad with kalamata, feta, etc. and the soup of the day, which was stuffed bell pepper soup. It all just hits the spot so well. I can't say enough good things about this place!

    This is one of my favorite little restaurant with flavorful food, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Portion size is perfect for the price. I ordered a sandwich and a cup of soup which was perfect for a filling lunch. I frequent here often and will continue. The decor is what you would expect in a strip mall.

    1/2 Ciabatta Tuna and Vegetable Minestrone Soup
    Lexi L.

    Not going to lie, I still dream about this sandwich. Kidding but honestly can't wait to go back. Went here for a lunch break and will definitely be coming back. I got half a tuna sandwich and cup of minestrone. The minestrone was typical --good! but the tuna sandwich was amazing! The ciabatta was soft and the lemon aioli made it nice and buttery...definitely recommend getting a soup with any ciabatta sandwich so you can dip. Service was quick, it's a casual lunch spot and busy so don't expect anything fancy (except the gourmet sandwiches) and you'll love it

    Great place to get the fresh salad! So good! Staff were so friendly and professional. Clean place. A lot of food for what we paid! Looked like they also gave lots of food on the menu!

    I'm not quite sure what I was expecting but not something this stellar!…read more I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Taco, and it was a flavor bomb! The shrimp were very flavorful and the whole thing just came together nicely. Yum! Second was a kid's menu Quesadilla with ground beef which needed absolutely zero sauce because the meat was so well-seasoned. The tortilla was soft and nicely grilled. A definite winner. It came with beans and rice on the side, neither of which was special. The take on Street Corn was different, a soda cup of corn with the street toppings on top and layered in the middle. The sauce tasted like mayonnaise and I didn't care for it. It was like canned corn with some stuff on it, but one miss on an otherwise home run of a meal wasn't bad. The Queso Blanco was a perfect consistency and the chips were good if lacking salt. Note that the queso is about 1/4 cup, a small portion perfect for me. I tasted all three salsas and loved them, especially the salsa verde.

    Welcomed and greeted upon entering the restaurant. He answered my questions about chicken options…read more(with and without sides). Came for the chicken and, while it tasted good, it didn't taste like anything different compared to other grilled chicken restaurants. It tasted as though the flavor/seasoning was only on the surface (skin) but not yet had time to penetrate the meat. Enjoyed sitting outside, dipping the chicken in the variety of salsas from the salsa bar! Very flavorful sauces! Next time I'm in the area, I'll come back and try the chicken again with some tacos.

    Delicious tacos! I was pleasantly surprised with amazing ambiance and friendly service…read more I especially loved the rattan covered lighting above the bar area, and the sunscreen (sails) over the outdoor patio. I had the BISTEC A LA MEXICANA from their lunch menu and loved my meal, especially the black beans and corn tortillas. The salsas were excellent and tasted so fresh and delicious.

    We love Bravis! Their new location is such an upgrade from their previous spot downtown Shakopee…read more Much more seating - booths, tables, picnic table style seats, bar seating. Love the murals on the walls celebrating the Minnesotan culture and icons. The service is always great, and the servers always have a good menu recommendation if you're unsure what to get. The bar has delicious drinks and their Jamaica juice is so refreshing on a hot summer day. Happy hour is a nice discount on some favorite items. I will say anything with shredded chicken isn't my favorite (not enough seasoning on the chicken for my taste) but everything else we've tried is a hit! We always start off with the chips and salsa flight and add cheese sauce - it's NOT a queso, there's no peppers or spice. The creamy green sauce is our favorite salsa they make, it's delicious on everything. The torta is a great choice if you're unsure what to get, the pineapple bowl is awesome if you're trying to share with others. Tacos and burritos are always a hit - I love the crunch of the pork belly and the flavor of the al pastor, taco toppings are onion and cilantro unless you get the loaded taco with slaw. The burrito could probably feed two people with an appetizer. It's a little higher priced than your typical plate of tacos but the quality of the food is always top notch, the kitchen is open and clean, and I've never left hungry or without leftovers. I will note - if you're looking for "traditional" Mexican food this probably isn't the spot you're looking for. It's still delicious just slightly different than what you'd get at your typical taqueria.

    The restaurant has a nice layout, very comfortable low lighting with a somewhat open kitchen look…read moreand a large bar in the middle. I imagine it would be really nice in the spring/summer as there is a horse track right outside of the restaurant which would provide a great view to a race. It definitely got a little loud just sitting inside They had a large variety of options to choose from on the menu. They also offered a great and surprisingly extensive Happy Hour Menu which we got there in time to take advantage of.  We got the burger and thought it was very tasty, we love a good caramelized onion. I thought it definitely needed some ketchup to balance out the heaviness of the onions and cheese with a little bright acidity. I also thought the patties themselves were very good, thin with a slight crisp to them with a soft bun and melty sauces and cheese. Since it was a happy hour option the burger did not come with any sides like it would have as an entrée. We also got fish tacos and we were a big fan of the slaw and pineapple mayo which brought a balance of sweet and savory to the dish. Only came with two tacos (at least for happy hour) which might not be enough food if you're hungry. The hot smoked salmon was one of the more unique items we tried. The salmon itself was super tasty - salty and smoky just what you want. They use the smaller scraps of salmon that wouldn't work in their Wood-Fired King Salmon entrée and incorporate it into this appetizer which is great sustainability-wise! The salmon came with a creamy ricotta, salty capers, crunchy crostini, and sweet and acidic pickled red onions. We liked this combination a lot but felt it could have used even more sweetness/acidity, maybe just adding a couple more onions to the dish. We really enjoyed the 'Garganelli' pasta dish. It was creamy and indulgent with pieces of lobster and freshly shaved parmesan on top. The chili added a really nice layer of heat but wasn't overpowering. The server was nice enough to split up everything we had over the evening to share (which explains the two small portions in the photo). MN Mule - 8/10 Pretty average but solid mule. However, it was served in a plastic spam cup which elevated the whole experience. Margarita - 9/10 Very good margarita - we were told it was a house made margarita not from a mix. Very bright and fresh flavors that definitely let the tequila shine. Overall would definitely recommend!

    Food was very good. Happy hour and prices were attractive as was the service…read more Mostly hard surfaces and quite loud even though less than half full. Next time will be a patio visit. Excellent dessert selection. Loved the deconstructed key lime pie. Not to be missed.
