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.

    It’s been years since we’ve visited, however very happy we landed on Impastato’s. The food and service were excellent. We opted for the 5 Course Deal which was a great value and portion sizes were more than adequate. We both took food home. We sat on the air-conditioned back patio where the noise level was very low and the ambiance was delightful. Great experience, we will visit again soon!

    We hadn’t been to this restaurant in a long time because it’s a little out of the way for us. We were given a gift card so we made reservations. Our previous visits had all been very good. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has declined considerably, and the restaurant has the ambiance of a funeral home. There’s also a certain smell in the air. We had the shrimp capri appetizer and it was ok. The shrimp were small and the sauce they were covered in tasted like potato salad. We also ordered shrimp fettuccini, which was salty and the noodles were smothered in sauce to the point that they were not enjoyable and it also didn’t taste fresh. We also had the red fish Payton. The menu says gulf fish, but it was definitely not fresh. It was covered with crab meant abs shrimp and smothered in a sauce that had the consistency of lobster sauce that you would get at a Chinese restaurant. Overall, it was quite a disappointing experience.

    Once again a 5 star experience. Shrimp Capri, Fettuccine Alfredo, Veal Ossobuco, and Blueberry Banana pie. We ate like royalty!

    The hostess did not WRITE down my reservations even though I made them a week ahead on the app. We were sat next to the singer and could not hold a conversation as a result. Table next to us was overly loud to add on to the uncomfortable feelings. Food was plentiful and delicious on the Taste of Tammany menu

    Our waitress was outstanding and answered all questions very well. Food was excellent, we had the 5 course meal and were pleased that we could box each course, if necessary. Will not have the 5 course again because it was too much food to eat at one sitting.

    Our server was excellent. Constant attention and she did an outstanding job. Forgot her name, but she had an English accent.
