i am updating my review to give them 5 stars!…read more Holy heck, what has happened between 2019 and now?! They stepped their Italian game up. Got a new Chef? I dunno! I know they do fun live music every Thursday now. We recently dinned here for the live music and it was so relaxing. Not to mention, this food is on par if not better, then Vincent's. Not to compare necessarily, but generally my standard for great Italian food in the NOLA area is usually Vincents as the baseline. We ordered the aracini and the meatballs and the crab claws as apps! Omg ok, I am not really a fan of aracini, but this, THIS! Ok it is stuffed, and i mean STUFFED, with so much cheese that I felt like I was eating a cheese ball. It was really good and light on the sauce too. I loved those meatballs too, they must mix veal in there because they reminded me of my mothers meatballs. They were so tender and perfect. And so few restaurants offer crab claws anymore and I dont know why?? We leave is South La, there's plenty of crab to make this app. Regardless, this was also amazing and I think this was going to be my favorite, it was my third favorite, number 1 was the aracini. All 3 were fantastic though, don't let me confuse you. Mom got the special which was a soft shell crab with some amazing garlic, butter, heaven sauce. I do not have a picture of the menu to be able to describe what was in the sauce. I did ask the waiter and begged him to tell the chef to keep it on the menu, We ordered the lasagna and the fetuccini with fried veal. I'd say my fav to just ok, it would be that special and the sauce on it and last would be the lasagna. I am so glad to see this place doing so well. I will be back.

We got there at 11 right when they opened so it wasn't busy yet. Our server was fantastic. So attentive and helpful. We had a roast beef po-boy and sweet potato fries and both were drool worthy. The roast beef was smothered in gravy and dressed on a sesame seed topped French bread that was warm and lightly toasted. I actually felt that it was the best one I've ever had and I've had a lot of different ones. Lol And the sweet potato fries were also delicious. The restaurant is older styled Italian and very relaxing. We will definitely be back.

I'll start by saying the food was mediocre at best. The other two family members with me were also…read moredisappointed. My husband had a steak that had so much gristle that his jaw was sore from having to chew so much before he could swallow it. My cousin had a fish dish which he enjoyed but it was nothing special. I had the Ossa Boca, which was the worst I had ever had and I eat this dish often and in many different restaurants. It was bland and the sauce tasted like dirty dish water. I let the waiter know that I didn't like it so the owner came over and he could not have been ruder or more disrespectful. I have never been talked to by a manager or an owner with such disrespect. There was no excuse for him to act that way I was never disrespectful or rude to him. I just simply said I didn't like it. He went in to start yelling at me in front of my guest and other patrons in the restaurant. He told me how often this dish was served and had never had any complaints. He said there was nothing wrong with the dish there was something wrong with me. I heard some other words coming out of his mouth, but after he said, there was something wrong with me. I tuned him out. This is a rare occasion that I can actually say "well I never" The waiter was professional and friendly. The ambience was pleasant. The owner is a despicable human being, and I will never step foot in his establishment again

The staff were helpful and showed good service. I ordered a glass of rose. It was ok. I ordered the mussels as an appetizer and I enjoyed them. I ordered the Salsa Rossa as my main dish with some tomato basil soup. The tomato basil soup was tasty. The pasta sauce was a bit bland. I was hoping for more flavor but it still tasted fine. I ordered the white chocolate bread pudding for dessert and I thought it was good. It was not too sweet which is how I prefer it. Overall, I had a good experience here and I would return.

We were lucky to have Pam as our server, and she was outstanding--knowledgeable, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. I ordered the Prime Ribeye, and it was phenomenal--served sizzling on a hot plate and full of flavor. I paired it with pasta, which was a perfect complement. My husband went with one of the specials (chicken and penne with vodka sauce), and after trying a bite, I can say it was just as delicious. The only small downside was that prices felt a bit high, but that seems to be the norm everywhere these days. Overall, a fantastic experience--we're already looking forward to our next visit.

For contect, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees at the restaurant, 1 entree to go and 2 ice teas. The veal parm was over cooked with no cheese and the sauce tasted like it came out the can. The chicken was undercooked and the Alfredo was bland. The spinach dip should be called bowl or melted cheese. The shrimp Alfredo was a waste with 6 tail on shrimp and a pasta that was thrown away. The only redeeming quality was the service. The young man was attentive. It wasn't his fault. This faux pas took 38 minutes from parking to pulling off. The fact that there were only 2 tables seated should have been the indicator.

Just a table of two and we certainly weren't trying to stay that long. Not busy in the restaurant either.

If you want any of the specials with crabmeat though, you need to go early because they will run out. There is a full bar as well. Parking is limited so you might have to park across the street or at the business next door if they are closed. The lasagna was a special the day I went and it was very good. The onion rings are hand battered and excellent. The service is good but they always seem to be a little short staffed. Often it might be just the bartender and a waiter.
