About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
In 1979, after over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Joe Impastato opened Impastato’s in Metaire. Only 5 years before, his brother Sal opened Sal and Judy’s in Lacombe. Now the family of restaurants extends to Madisonville with the opening of Impastato Cellars on September 5, 2013. The Impastato family decided to bring the same traditional, authentic Italian cuisine to the table on the Northshore along with the old world ambiance of a 600 square foot wine cellar featuring over 400 labels, in addition to a wide variety of spirits and craft beers.

    One of my Favorite Restaurants to recommend to everyone! The 5 course meals are not only a value, but a must have experience. You have to treat yourself to experience at least once. Service is impeccable. Ask for Lydia.

    We have done with this family business for years. This trip was especially disappointing. Must be a different chef. None of our favorites came close to meeting our previous pleasure. Sad about this. The worst part of the experience was the steak. Couldn’t eat it. Meat was old.
    Impastato CellarsResponded 1 day ago
    We apologize for your negative experience and hope that we can make it up to you soon! Our chef is the same one we've had since our opening so I'm not sure what happened. Next time please let us know while you are here so that we can correct the issue immediately.

    This is a nice family place that has a great selection of seafood dishes. The staff are attentive and willing to help with tough choices. The Chef Joe’s 5 course meal is an excellent value. Me and my wife have had nothing but good experiences.

    Great dining experience. This was our 3rd time here. We brought the kids for a Valentine Day dinner. Ambience and decor is very nice. Food has a great flavor. Our waitress Brittany was very patient and attentive even though it was a packed house. She told us about the specials and answered any questions my children had. Very welcoming. We will definitely be back.
