This place was recommended to us by a bartender. I thought we weren't going to be able to get in but they sat us right away. This place was sooo good. Got the short rib ragu and Italian sausage arancini. Amazing. Also got the lamb merguez sausage pizza. Did not expect pizza to blow my mind like that it was great. Also got the spinach cannelloni which was my favorite by far. The only downside was that the servers snatch the plates up way too fast. We were not done eating and there was still food on the plate. Said something when they did it the first time and then they did it again?? read more

I finally got to try this spot. I had a wine tasting at the wine shop next door and went in Paladar 511 for dinner. The salmon dip was good as a starter. The margarita pizza with pepperoni was a great choice for my entree. The restaurant was busy with lots of tables. The wait staff were very attentive. It's a cute neighborhood restaurant. The experience was great. I may return read more

Great dinner spot! First time here with friends and really enjoyed it. Unique and flavorful spins on Italian dishes! Service was excellent. Standouts were the squid ink pasta and mushroom pizza. Of course had to save room for dessert and we really enjoyed both dishes! Love the vibe in here, loft-like space that feels like NYC. Looking forward to next visit read more

Food is delicious always a surprise of how the food is presented. My biggest and saddest experience was tonight with the people I brought who love wine and food and know wine and food especially Italian. The staff RUSHED our dinner in 1.5 hours they could have sold a lot more wine and food but did not listen to us. We said we did not want to be rushed and we still were. We wanted another bottle of wine and no one came back to the table. Disappointed!!!. read more

Excellent dining! My colleague hit a home run with the reservation for the eve. Upscale warehouse vibe, with super-attentive service. Our personable server Victoria guided us thru the menu. Among a group of three, we enjoyed the Smoked Duck Toast, Roasted Carrots, and Arancini, all delicious. For entrees we had the Spicy San Marzano Pie, Roasted Mushroom Pie, and I had the Pappardelle dish. Excellent flavor and spice on my Pappardelle, and not complaints on the pizza front. Padalar is definitely a classy casual destination away from the typical NOLA tourist scene. read more

Paladar 511 continues to live up to the hype, and the pappardelle is a standout dish that keeps me coming back. The pasta was perfectly cooked! Every bite felt intentional and balanced.

Yum! We we're lucky enough to get a few spots at the bar without having a reservation. These spots come with dinner and a show. The show is that the kitchen is right there and you watch them making every delicious thing you're about to eat. I was with two friends and we shared five appetizers and a dessert. This was a perfect strategy. We had the squid ink pasta, which was with shrimp and phenomenal. For veggies, we have the local lettuce salad, carmelized radishes, and the carrots, which had these candied hazelnuts that I'm still dreaming about. The arancini has short rib and cheese in it, a giant ball of delight. And we had the brownie for dessert that had incredible coconut crunch ice cream with toffee chips. The cocktails and the wine were enjoyable as well. Shout out to Otto for taking great care of us! read more

Though I've had the opportunity to visit Paladar 511 many times for dinner (excellent!)... I finally had the chance to attend brunch for my birthday :) The food at brunch definitely didn't disappoint. The service was good as always & the ambiance is always such a vibe. Love the open kitchen concept, the windows, the art & books-- it's very cozy in there! I'd definitely be back for brunch. Every entrée was honestly good (had a try of them all!) read more

Thank you Paladar 511! My teenage daughters and I stumbled upon you, hot and hangry on Sunday at noon. We did not have a reservation on a busy brunch day, but you found space for us and confidently handled my daughter's food allergy. Your food was delicious and I am very thankful for you! read more

Get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti...and the pizza! Dispute a rocky start, everything...and I mean everything we experienced here was worth every penny! We arrived after walking in the pouring rain (it was just a few blocks we said...it'll be easy we said *eye rolls*) to be met with a few strange passing glances, and an usher to get us seated quickly. Once seated, our waiter was fabulous. They truly knew the menu, and their knowledge alone helped us understand how we could craft the perfect birthday experience for my mother. I ended up with a Ponchatoula Plane, the seasonal watermelon starter, the squid ink pasta, and a chocolate cake. My mother indulged in the same, but opted for pizza instead of pasta. Described as the best thing on the menu by our waiter, I highly encourage trying the squid ink pasta as an entree (as opposed to a starter). Trust me, you won't want to share. Additionally, it's been a month, and my mother still references their chocolate cake. They frost the cake when warm, so although it doesn't look like much, it's a decadent take on a traditional treat. Whatever you choose, it's hard to go wrong here. It's certainly a stop I'll be adding to my permanent NOLA rotation! read more

Oh I just love this place so much. Coming here after a wine tasting at Grand Krewe next door is my favorite. Their pasta is so delicious but honestly everything is. Their pizzas are great for a sharing app with the table. I kinda want to order the arrincini every single time. Last time we had slow service which was unusual. The ambiance is really nice too! read more

A plus Sunday brunch. A plus service. A plus atmosphere, only downside being a cacophony of diner voices off the hardwood ceiling creates a din of noise which, if you're 40 or younger, is not a problem for conversation. I'm 62 and I could still hear my friend so it's not overwhelming. And we were upstairs so it was likely louder up there. Acoustic baffles would eliminate this problem. The standout feature here is that the sinks are outside the restrooms. That peer pressure (talking men, here) has to promote handwashing and more thorough handwashing among staff and diners better than a sign that says "all staff must wash hands when leaving restroom." read more

We celebrated my birthday and our anniversary here and were very happy with our experience. There was a good wine list and fun cocktails available. We LOVED the squid ink spaghetti and shared it for our starter. We also shared a pizza and pappardelle and loved both. We sat upstairs and had a great time viewing the drinks and food being made and seeing what other parties were ordering. The service was great and we would definitely go back! read more

A Standout Dining Experience for True Food Lovers Paladar 511 is food for foodies--each dish is expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully balanced. With so many great restaurants in New Orleans, it's saying something that Paladar 511 consistently stands out on every trip. This visit, we started with the squid ink spaghetti--a must-order dish. For my entrée, I had the Pork Saltimbocca, which was rich and deeply flavorful thanks to the Marsala jus and creamy polenta, perfectly balanced by the brightness of the capers. It was incredibly crispy and simply outstanding. My wife had the crispy skin chicken, which I didn't try, but she couldn't stop raving about it! From the attentive service and inviting atmosphere to the craft cocktails and unforgettable food, everything here is top notch. You won't be disappointed--Paladar 511 is a true gem. read more

The restaurant interior feels like vacation. Gorgeous brick walls and beautiful wood, high ceilings and tasteful lighting and colors. The ambiance is excellent and the wait staff attentive and helpful. The cocktails are refreshing and beautiful The ensalada tre colorí has potential, but must have been low on the anchovi as flavor was mellow The Hamachi crudo was phenomenal. So fresh, cut perfectly and the sauce... just wow Pappardelle had potential if only the seemingly house made noodles had been drained properly The seared snapper seemed deep fried. The sauce was good. The peach angel food cake was fresh and delicious. The mascarpone ice cream was 5/5 read more

I've been here twice and it's been good to great! The spaghetti was a 13/10. I dream about this spaghetti. The lamb pizza is out of this world good and the char on the crust is to die for, not pictured because we inhaled it. The squash pasta was good. I was not a highlight, but it was good. The dessert was the star the cinnamon ice cream is like nothing I've ever tried. I'd come back again and again for the pizza, spaghetti, and the dessert! read more

Oh yes my people - you must go here! Food, atmosphere, drinks, service - all where they should be. Very creative and tasty menu. All the food was excellent but these stood out: tuna crudo, charred okra, snapper, flat iron steak, and the shocker for me - chicken. I'm not a chicken fan, but goodness gracious I'd eat this chicken 4 times a week! We're going back. read more

Excelent dinning experience. Super friendly accommodating staff. Comfortable so nice environment. The food was amazing . Ample safe street parking. Well pleased with our dinning experience. read more

Oh the food here was really great, the squash is an incredible dish and the crispy chickpeas add so much to it. The squid ink pasta does NOT stain your tongue and was delicious. The mushroom pizza was pretty good too, but not the standout. Only complaint is that I was the portions were bigger, if you're going to share meals then be prepared to only have a bite or two of each thing. read more

Paladar 511 - Mushroom pizza, Squash, Squid Ink Spaghetti - Pizza Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

One of my favorite places in New Orleans. Even if you have to wait, there's a "Friendly Bar" down the next block you can go to until the time of your reservation. The last time I came we were downstairs where it was brightly lit, a lot of people, fun in a communal way. But this time I winked at the person at the front desk and said it was for a date and a "special" occassion. Upstairs is dark and quiet and romantic and looks over the restaurant. The "margarita?" (not sure about the name) pizzas were fantastic. The server was so attentive and kind. Think about this as the place for a fun night with a lot of people or a special event for a romantic evening. Kiss emoji. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint!! Make a reservation pretty far in advance as they book up fast. We had a reservation at 5:30pm on a Friday and it was packed from the moment we walked in until we left. The restaurant is in the Marigny and the atmoshere inside is great. Our server was very sweet. We had a lot of questions about the menu and she was super helpful to answer all of them. We tried alot of different things, and honestly didn't have any complaints about a single thing we ordered. If anything, GET THE SQUID INK PASTA. It was incredible. Only thing to note is the portions aren't huge. However, we loved trying everything and were so satisfied. read more

We LOVED Paladar. Every flavor was unique from the Spicy San Marzano pizza, to the short rib Arancini, to the Wagyu Flat Iron steak, to the cocktails. It was all just phenomenal.

Beautiful space and great for a romantic date night or get together with friends. The cocktails were great and reasonably priced and service was good at the bar. The squid ink pasta was phenomenal but I wish I could say the same about the pizza. The crust was good like other reviewers have said, but I was expecting Spicy San Marzano sauce. Unfortunately, there was nothing spicy or tasty about the sauce. It was very tomato-ey and creamy but not very flavorful. read more

Paladar 511 was on my friends list of places to try in NoLa. Overall, Paladar has good food and great ambiance/lighting (ideal for a date). The servers were super attentive and nice but nothing wowed me. They had Very tasty drinks ( desert bloom). I Shared the hamachi crisp (3.5/5; decent flavor but the fish wasn't highlighted though. Too many add ons) and had squid ink spaghetti as my main (4/5; decent flavor but I wanted move from this dish ex. More complex flavor and better cooked protein). Note, you may need a reservation read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN NOLA! Hands down. My hubby and I are for sure foodies. We love a great meal. And they delivered! We started with the salad and arancini. Both delicious. We then moved onto pasta and pizza. My pasta was the pappardelle with a meat ragu. Very good. But the pizza -- OMG -- the pizza. It is called the farm egg. And my very Sicilian husband said it's the best neopolitan style pizza he has ever had. EVER. And I actually can't argue. It was incredible. The perfect blend of gruyere cheese, collard greens and bacon - such a lovely smokey taste to the bacon that added to it..... Ughhh so so good. I would highly recommend it! read more

The Picket Fences mocktail is great. And don't miss the Rye Parker House Rolls with the special butter. Yum. The Carpaccio with the raw beef and the cooked oysters is a don't miss as well. Pizza is a solid choice. The Angolotti was okay. The pasta itself is bland and needs more goat cheese inside and on top. I won't order this one again. They no longer have the graham cake so we didn't order dessert. read more

Loved the vibe/ atmosphere, host was nice and accommodating even though we didn't have a reservation (definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets crowded). Our server was lovely, patient, timely and helpful! And the food was great - I got the mushroom pizza which was delicious. I had it to myself for my meal and it was a perfect personal size. We also got the pappardelle pasta which was classic and well flavored and the squid ink pasta. Super flavorful and unique. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but worth trying. read more

Great cocktails, pizza and appetizers. Vibe is a little upscale, but friendly and a little artsy. In a very walkable area of the Marigny district, we ended up there after the community Halloween parade so there were lots of people in costume! read more

This was literally one of the best brunches I've ever had in my life. We were vacationing in New Orleans and a friend recommended this place. I got the pork thing - - can't even remember exactly what was in it because this was about a month ago, but I still remember the taste. Also loved that it was LGBTQA friendly, and maybe gay owned? Anyway, a great place with great food. Five stars. read more

Outside of the typical fare you may find in the French Quarter, there is a wonderful Italian restaurant called Paladar 511 that is hip and modern, with nectarous cuisine that will linger on your palate for a good time afterward. The restaurant itself has both a ground floor where most of the dining tables are located with an open kitchen to watch the action and a wine cellar in the back. The mezzanine floor has a private dining area for parties that would like to have the space to themselves for fun and relaxed experiences. If you site at the bar, you get to experience watching the kitchen staff preparing all the meals, which is pretty cool. Cocktail-wise, I enjoyed the Bad Mr Jive that was rye-based with sweet vermouth, Amaro, and Apertif, which was more Manhattan themed with a twist. For dinner, I savored every bite of the pork saltimbocca that was glorious with the polenta, grilled broccolini, and capers. The marsala jus complimented so delightfully. It was one of my favorite meals in New Orleans. read more

Great location. Close enough to the French Quarter but far enough away that parking is better and a little off the beaten path. I went with three others to celebrate my homecoming, so we ordered a lot and shared it all. There was nothing bad in this restaurant. EVERYthing tasted delicious. The starters we ordered were the Tuna Crudo, Autumn Squash, Arancini, Cacio Pepe, and Butternut Squash Buckwheat bread. Not your traditional bread, but so good we ordered a second round. For mains we had the Pappardelle and Braised Rabbit. For dessert, we had a Chocolate Chessman tart and the Apple Trifle. The drinks were Across the River, Always on Time, and Marigny Mornings. Again, every single dish was amazing. The staff was attentive without being pushy, and the seating was very comfortable. I think the restaurant used to be a warehouse, but don't hold me to it. I will definitely return. read more

I liked it so much I dined here twice in a week long trip. Everything I tried was top notch. The freshness of the ingredients and the taste is sublime. Tried different salads, each had so many flavors! The pizza crust so light! The best thing was the mint chip cream. It is simply the best, so subtle on the mint and creamy with a salty flavor. So delightful and delicious. Definitely give thus place a try. read more

HOT! Don't eat here in summer! This place has little to no a/c. I've never been so hot in a place while trying to enjoy a meal. The restaurant itself is cute. The ambiance is not if not for the temperature, and we went at night; I can't imagine how hot it is earlier in the evening. read more

We had a 5:30 rest which is also when the restaurant opens. When we got there a few minutes early there was a line of people waiting to get in. The front desk got everyone in quickly and was able to seat people who didn't have a reservation. The menu isn't huge but everything we ate was really good. Started with each of the salads and honestly could have potentially split one due to size. We got the Rye rolls with the dill butter which looked a bit odd but was really good. For mains we had the snapper and the hot buttered chicken. We were both very happy with our choices. The BF finished off the chicken I couldn't eat and also liked the spice of it. read more
