Dimartino’s Famous New Orleans Muffulettas

The food here is great but the prices are steep for what you get. It is easy to pay well over $ 10 for a meal an walk away hungry.
Still, if you aren’t starving and don’t mind paying a little extra, you can get some of the best tasting food on the westbank.

Had a muffelatta from there last night. The olive salad in it tasted bad. So i scraped it off and ate the rest. The bread was fine but the meat portion was skimpy. I like central grocery’s mufellata better.
Since that is the only thing Inhave tried from there, I am willing to give them and other shot… but not the mufellata.
I know I probably spelled the name wrong but you know what I am referring to.

I would like to comment more on their food, but every time I come here I get the roast beef po boy. My wife swears by the shrimp po boy.
We live in Texas, but the in-​laws are just down the street. Every time we visit, this is always on the agenda. Someday I plan to try something else. I promise!

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon & I was craving a shrimp po-​boy. Manfriend suggested Dimartino’s. Though, he’s lived on the WB his entire life, he’s never had it.
I don’t have a go to for shrimp po-​boys and I barely crave it. However, Dimartino’s might’ve started an obsession! I think it’s their seeded (sesame) po-​boys. It’s just that extra that makes it special ! I had the roast beef muffuletta too ! & that was so good as well.
The shrimp potato salad was excellent. It had just enough mustard but I can see myself adding some old bay seasoning to make it «just right». The eggplant sticks were good but I wish they did half orders because it’s way to much for two people to finish.
I noticed that they carry some Angelo Brocato goodies!
Everywhere that I have gotten po-​boys from include «dress» (mayo, lettuce, tomato, & pickle) in their pricing but at Dimartino’s it’s an upcharge. It’s a small turn off. especially when both sandwiches had barely any pickles (my favorite).
Pricing:
Eggplant Sticks 9 $
Shrimp Potato Salad 7 $
SM Roastbeef Muffuletta Dressed 11 $
Shrimp Po-​boy Dressed 11 $

Excellent food for mostly locals that is off the beaten path. The food was amazing.
Based on a 10% deco, 20% service, 30% value, and 40% on quality– I am forced to give them a 5 star review. The kitchen was clean as a marine belt buckle, the restrooms spotless.
(The 3 second rule doesn’t even apply because this location is so clean!)
Just steer clear of the carol sue location around noon-​1pm and you won’t stress finding a parking spot or seat inside. The locations are strewn about the westbank of Jefferson and Orleans and are few a far between.
But the muff was excellent and the service was ultimate. When I asked my wife where she got the crazy idea for a turkey muffuletta, she replied «well, YOU brought one home 5 years ago, it was really good then, and it’s very good now.» I guess that I must be burnt or have Alzheimer’s, cuz I don’t even have a chance against her memory.
I was watching «side effects» and when I saw Channing Tatum come out of Otisville, his threads were the same as mine in the 1^st year of a federal military service academy. I remember we had great food, just about 30 seconds to eat all the steak you could. Because rolls would compress real well, we used to smuggle food out in shoes, the crotch of your underwear, even under an armpit after a 10K company run.
Umm, yummy. The things one will do to make 2^nd lieutenant in 3&½ years. That I will never forget.
So stay away from academy food and stick with DiMartino’s, it is far superior. As «military boot foot sweat» bread pudding was not as good as anything on the menu here. The NOMMA (around the corner), leads to the USMMA – but anybody with a touch of morals knows that taking a 90-​year old woman’s cane and stepping over her as she falls to the ground has better moral judgement than those set by a federal academy.

My girlfriend’s recommendation on this place was on point. I had the chicken parmigiana on angel hair pasta, she had turkey muffuletta with seafood gumbo and a fantastic potato salad. Highly recommended!

New Orleans born visiting from California, I wanted some good local food and I found it! I got the muffuletta, gumbo and potatoe salad and my boy friend got the chicken parmigiana and it was all super yummy!

I am really glad to have found this restaurant on the West Bank. I travel to this area periodically and I am often in need of a place to grab a bite to eat. This place has some interesting menu selections and not to pricey. I had a Grilled Chicken Italian Salad for lunch and it was just what I needed in order to get back to the office feeling satiated, but not over-​stuffed or, bloated. The salad was a terrific combination of scrumptious ingredients including fresh veggies, tasty chicken, a zesty salad dressing, and warm pita bread. I’m already planning my next visit, but I just have not decided on whether I’ll have their signature dish, a «Dimartino’s Famous New Orleans Muffuletta,» another great salad, or a hot meal like Veal or Chicken Parmesan. But one thing for certain is that I won’t pass this place by the next chance I get.

Many places claim to have famous dishes, Dimartino’s is correct to call their muffulettas famous. It was one of the best if not the best I have ever had. The bread, meat, cheese, and olive salad are all excellent. The secret here is the olive oil that soaks in to the crunchy bread served heated the flavor is off the charts. If you are on the west bank I highly recommend you stop and get one. The other dishes look tasty and affordable too.

Like another Unilocaler has mention, it’s not much good local restaurants in the Algiers area and this is a must have. I have tried plenty of their po-​boys and lunch specials and haven’t been disappointed as of yet. The food is always fresh and hot. I am not one to eat everyone potato salad, but their potato salad is practically the only one I eat besides my mother’s. Their Gumbo is really good as well.

There aren’t many great places to eat in Algiers… that aren’t chain restaurants or fast food. Di Martino’s definitely hits the spot when you want something fresh and hot.
Now I usually just get salads from here, but my coworkers try all sorts of stuff on a regular basis. So my assumption is other items on the menu are pretty okay as well.

Dimartino’s is a low key place that is very unassuming from the outside but don’t be too quick to judge this place because they have killer Muffulettas.
The location can be very hard to miss because it’s really a nondescript building with a small sign out front but it’s a standalone building not too far off the crescent city connection. There’s a small parking lot out front too which I’ve never had an issue finding parking for.
The inside shows the age of building and seems like it hasn’t been updated in about two decades but in a weird way it adds to the charm of the place. The workers at the establishment have always been extremely nice and welcoming. I took my elderly grandpa here a few times and each time the employees are quick to accommodate him in any way possible from pulling out a chair to opening the door for him, bonus points!
The food is really good which is hard for me to say given the abundance of great food around the city. You definitely get your bang for your buck and the quality is fair so I’d go as far as saying this is the best Muffuletta pound per pound for your dollar. Like many places around the city, they also offer alcoholic drinks which equals more bonus points!

If you like Muffulettas, this is the place. Their olive salad is what makes it for me, big chunks and plenty of other pickled veggies mixed in. The bread is crispy on the edges and soft in the center with plenty of sesame just as it should be. The servers are about as friendly as you could ask for, especially considering how particular I am about how they pack them to go. I grab one each time I leave New Orleans to eat on the train on the way back and they triple wrap them in paper for me then wrap each half in plastic to keep them from leaking that delicious oil into my bag. They do all of this for me each time with a smile.
The small is large and the large is HUGE… easily a meal for 4 people. This is all I have eaten here… because I know what I like. They’ve got poboys and other options but if I eat those how will I ever have room for my needed Muffuletta? Fight for parking in the quarter to go to Central Grocery to endure their poor attitudes and higher prices if you must (because thats what a tourist does)…but Dimartinos has it goin’ on with a lot less hassle, a friendly smiling server and a much better sandwich.

Dimartino’s does a couple things really good and a lot of things fairly average.
The po’ boys are really good. I’ve had the oyster, roast beef, and shrimp and have yet to be disappointed in how they taste. The potato salad is also really tasty.
The pasta and other entrees I’ve had have been mediocre. Nothing special. The fries tend to be unseasoned, though hot.
So here’s the dilemma, do you go here for a pretty good sandwich, or do you go elsewhere where they do a lot of things better? If I’m hungry and passing Dimartino’s, I’ll stop.

Our family dines here often — great Po-boy’s. I also really like their potato salad. Service is always friendly and fast. Food is fresh and delish! I highly recommend them. Shrimp Po-​boy and the roast beef Po-​boy are our favorite!

The food was excellent but they messed up our order twice. However you could tell they genuinely wanted to make it right.

I eat here every couple of months. Food is good, but it is never consistent. I have one good meal and then not so great the next.

While the muffaletta is consistently good, the spaghetti and meatballs was plain gross. Their red gravy had big chunks of hard onions and peppers and should have cooked at least 3 or 4 hours longer. The spaghetti was clearly reheated and I’d suffice to say more than once. For a small muff, spaghetti and meatballs, fried mushrooms and two soft drinks, the bill was $ 33. High price for bad food. Save your money and go eat at Vincents or one of the other fine Italian restaurants in the city. We won’t be back.

No.
1 poboy and 1 Sisco quality hamburger and 2 iced teas and a 20 minute wait=32 bucks!
The poboy was ok-ish…no real flavor but not horrible… but the bread was so hard it ripped up the Girly’s mouth. Like when you eat Captain Crunch cereal as a kid and you hurt for several hours later.(I read this out loud to her a day later and she said «TRUE. My mouth still hurts!»). As an adult it doesn’t seem worth it.
My hamburger was really an insult to burgers. Again, it had the texture of a Cisco brand pressed meat patty and an aftertaste like it was freezer burned (the Girly took one bite and told me to stop eating it RIGHT NOW!). I got 3 bites in and had to stop.
The fries were actually pretty good and the waitress looked like Deb from Napoleon Dynamite and that grumpy chick from Parks and Recreation had a love child so that was pretty cool.
But the price combined with the DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF style and the possibly poisonous burger just left fatman hungry, grumpy and sickly.
No thanks.

One of my go to spots on the west bank for a good po’boy.
I have been going to this establishment for years and will continue to do so.
The shrimp po’boy is always overstuffed and you can usually make another sandwich with the shrimp that fall off.
The roast beef is delicious and tender.
We really do love going here.
