Everything was great! My girls took me out to celebrate my birthday, and the servers got me a surprise with meatball and candle. The servers were very welcome and the food is excellent. We decided to have garlic bread and clam toast for the appetizer And...Read More

Amazing surprise, the in house made red pesto is delicious and the pasta cooked perfectly. They can change anything on the menu to adapt to your needs and dietary requirements. Super friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere and great drinks selection.

I can’t express enough words about how meaningful this dining experience was. We ate like a family in a dim lighting atmosphere and tried 20 courses! They did not miss on everything single thing we tried, including the espresso. The food was delightful, balanced and...Read More

Fun fact is we ended up eating appetizers here one night and pizza/pasta a second night because we had to make a show the earlier night. Overall, one of my favourite restaurants in NOLA. The pizza, appetizers, and crowd were absolutely phenomenal.

Donald Link has knocked it out of the park with Gianna. Authentic Italian specialties that are equally delicious and approachable. Don't miss the mushroom pizza and the meatballs. And hopefully the brisket agnolotti will still be on the menu when you go-it's too die for😋
