Filippo - Metairie

First people as doors open had drinks and ordered dinner was told they just ran out how could that be as we were the first people. Service was only OK. Bill came and a additional fee was added to my Bill WHY this is part of doing business why do I need to pay more for using my credit card. May NOT return because of this. Because of a fee 4 of us may not return

I wanted to come and update my last review since I have now eaten inside the building and met the owners. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I just found it in November, we went to eat here it is small. It is the definition of a small business, very welcoming and you feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is beautiful, upscale dinning I always order to go looking like a hobo) so dress nice. The owners are wonderful and kind, we order here all the time now. At this point I have tried almost every item on the menu and I CANT FIND ONE BAD DISH. They are all amazing. We just came home from Europe after a month and I had to get dinner here tonight because it's the closest thing to true European Italian you are gonna find in this city. I came here to update my review because I'm still beyond impressed November 2023 I have never been inside the building so I can't review that. But the food! I live in the neighborhood and my husband and I drive by here all the time, we do weekly date night and this place has been on our list for a while. This week I was sick for date night so we ordered take out from here. The food was amazing, visually pleasing, and the flavor was excellent. We were so impressed. I cook alot at home and flavor is a must. They delivered. It was exactly what I wanted. He even left his phone there and the restaurant called us and returned it to us. So service and food

The veal Marsala was amazing. Unfortunately they ran out of spumoni but the experience was great!

Great local Italian restaurant, off the beaten path and away for downtown. Service was outstanding, really made my wife”s birthday special.

Very Disappointing Before the pandemic, we came to this restaurant every time we came to town. Last night we were delighted to go again to this old favorite. The place hadn't changed in appearance, but the service and food were a big letdown. We ordered a large Oyster Oreganate appetizer and the dish was warm on the surface and refrigerator cold in the middle. Our entrees were veal picatta and that night's special Trout Almandine. I like capers but the veal picatta was completely overwhelmed with them. It was all you could taste. I ended up separating capers off to the side and the result was an entire 2 oz bottle's worth on the plate. We expected the trout, a delicate fish, to be sauteed. Instead, it was deep fried and overcooked. Our waiter was slow and indifferent. When I told him about the problems with the dishes, he just walked away without a word . At the end, he cleared the dishes and left us with water glasses, waiting while he settled the neighboring tables split bill and doggy bag. (The waiters only other table). 15 minutes later we finally got our credit card to sign. The restaurant was overly air conditioned cold and when sitting at the padded bench for the table you sink into the seat until your knees are just hanging on a rail. I had to switch to a hard chair. We will no longer return to this restaurant. Hopefully, they will return to their previous standards.
