Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Uptown

The aesthetic of the restaurant was very pleasing. The service was good. The food was OK. The Pasta Cart dish did not taste that great but the experience of it was nice with how they prepared it at tableside and explaining about the cheese wheel. The Shrimp Paccheri was good. It reminded me of a Tuscan style pasta. The cocktails did not taste great but they did look great. I got a dirty martini that tasted like straight gin. My wife got a drink called purple rain, which tasted OK. I believe if they decrease the amount of lemon or lime that was in that drink, it would taste better.

IMO the best brunch spot in New Orleans. Always sit on the veranda. Food consistently very good, reasonably priced. Service always outstanding! I live around the corner - try to take guests here as often as possible.

Our host Gabe is such a great guy, he really made us feel welcomed when we arrived, when checking on us during our meal and giving us a warm send-off as we were leaving. The service was very professional, they went the extra mile to accommodate my dairy-free dietary restriction. The house made pasta was fantastic. The interior design of the restaurant is really beautiful, so many features to look at and the atmosphere is very up-beat. Thanks to all for a wonderful experience.

The men’s room lacks handicap bars around the toilet! I was surprised, thinking that this is required by law. If not, it is a necessity for handicapped guests.

This was our first visit. The overall experience was good but was disappointed that the hostess counted locate our reservation. After a couple of minutes and several questions, she did seat us anyway. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was great. The salad dressing was a little on the tart side but that is simply personal taste. The entrees were very flavorful, prepared as ordered and served promptly. Dining room noice level was low, even as the room filled. Overall, will return and recommend to others.
