I had another amazing dinner here, this time with some old friends and their wives…read more Firstly, our server was fantastic. Ashleigh not only had the low down on the best foods to order, but she kept up with our table of 5 like we were beloved family. Everything was sooooo good tonight. From the delicious appetizers, to the incredible salad (seriously, you have got to try this Creamy Italian), all the way to this badass softshell crab dish and the most chocolatey-chocolate cake I've had in recent memory. I lost most of notes for this meal, sadly, because it was super delicious and perfect. We did the 5 course meal menu item and I cannot wait to go back and do it again. Highly recommend an evening at Impastato's. And hey, ask for Ashleigh, get her opinions and smiles, and bask in the warmth of how well she'll care for you and your peeps.

Stopped in last night after class to pick up a short rib plate to go; it was super cold and I was…read moreglad to get back into my warm truck, but man-oh-man was that a tough drive with the amazing smells from the to-go box wafting through the cab! I had planned to have it for lunch the next day, taking time to crisp the edges in the air fryer before devouring the source of those smells - but alas, it was too great a temptation and I tried a small piece when I got home. Small, meaning like TWO OUNCES that had fallen apart from the main rib into the mound of pasta and chunky red sauce. Sliced garlic, chunky tomatoes, and the essence of beef all through it made for a pretty tasty side dish that I ended up giving to Tiff. I was saving room for the MEAT. So, that little piece that dropped off to tempt me was eaten and savored. It was soooo good. Still, I managed to save the rest of the rib for lunch the next day - I crisped that beautiful short rib up, as promised, and shared the pasta with Tiff - we had a delicious meal and both gave thanks for the food, for Leo and for Ashleigh, the awesome server who packaged the boxes up so beautifully and made sure we were well taken care of even though we took it home. Looking forward to my next visit to Leo's - short rib pizza anyone???

Mandina's of New Orleans is a long time staple in Mandeville, although this was our first visit…read more Mandina's features an extensive menu that highlights their primary specialties, which are Italian cuisine and seafood. Today we enjoyed their full bar, excellent service, and tasteful decor, which combine to impart a comfortable, welcoming ambiance. I had their chicken Marsala, which was prepared in the traditional style and was tasty. My wife had their signature muffuletta, which although unusually prepared on French bread, was good. Salads were somewhat wilted, but iced tea was quite good. Mandina's is worth your attention and we will return to try some other Italian favorites, including their lasagna, which I hear is excellent.

BUT three items REALLY stood out! 1. The crab arancini appetizer- really perfect didn't even need the sauce that comes with- just perfect 2. The mussels! Mussels are hard and these were drowning in the most delicious garlic broth - really really good to dip the pizza crust in 3. The cannolis! They were crispy and these ricotta filling was so smooth and light! We really enjoyed our dinner and the service! Plus the drinks and atmosphere was so much fun! We can't wait to go back!

I ordered the short ribs and felt it was tender... but dried out. So I hadn't gone back. Well I met friends for a "supper club" we created and my opinion was completely changed. I would give them 5/5 stars now. The best part of the night was great service lead by Ms. Sydney. She understood the menu, gave recommendations and clear explanations of how items were prepared, and was quick with a joke! I literally almost spit my water out laughing at one point!!! The wine selection was amazing and paired well with the entrees ordered. I have to give a disclaimer that, at our table was the person that distributed the liquor.... So he knew what bottles were the ones we had to have with our meals. The mixed drinks were great too. I had an espresso martini, but also tasted my friends's sazeracs and old fashions. All were great! I was pleasantly surprised when the bill came as we ordered several appetizers, drinks, bottles of wine, and dessert! My bill was way less than I anticipated given the amount that we ordered! I'd def come back and I'd probably request being put In Sydney's section!

For our entrees we went with the braised beef short rib with saffron risotto, and he had the duck cheek. Then ended with a cannoli and house made tiramisu. Everything was well done and delightful!

Not the case! Our server, Shelby, helped me find a few really good choices and I went with the fish and grits (called something else on the menu). It was outstanding. Rich but not too rich. Large enough portion that I took half home. One friend had the fried chicken and raved about it. (Order early because it takes time.) Another had fried cheese ravioli Several had the Mac and cheese and everybody raved about their dishes. Took home some seafood-stuffed cornbread for my husband. The atmosphere adds to the experience. It's right in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington at the trailhead with huge windows and natural light. Really lovely! They were crowded (on a Tuesday night) but the service was great and the owner popped by several times to check that everything was okay. Already planning a return trip with my husband!

This was my third visit, and unfortunately, my third disappointment. I genuinely want to like this…read morerestaurant its location and ambiance are great, but that's not enough to justify a "fine dining" experience. We were seated at a table with a dirty linen and had to help replace it. After that, we waited about 20 minutes without any acknowledgment from a server. Throughout the evening, we repeatedly had to flag someone down just to order, request bread, and get refills. The hostesses were the only consistently attentive part of the experience. The food was mediocre at best. The meatballs were bland, the eggplant was decent but the shrimp had an off aftertaste, and the Caesar salad was average. The redfish entrée was the most concerning STRONG fishy smell and taste, and appeared improperly cleaned. It took over 1.5 hours just to receive it. Service recovery was minimal by the "manager" Our concerns were brushed off, and while the dish was removed from the bill, there was no real effort to address the experience. At this price point, both the food and service should meet a much higher standard. It feels like this restaurant is relying on its location and atmosphere rather than delivering a quality dining experience. Sad!
