- NNoahNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined on May 12, 2025Tonight, me and my wife celebrated 2 years of marriage at Nuvolari’s. Truly a great experience, I asked them through OpenTable if they would be able to have flowers prepared at the table and boy did they deliver. Just what I asked for, a small, but beautiful bouquet. Humble, but elegant. The food was outstanding and our waiter was very kind and informative about the menu and drinks. 10/10 would recommend.More infoNuvolari'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Mandeville•4.7

12 stellar special-occasion restaurants in New Orleans
New Orleanians mark time by food seasons, not calendar flips. The hottest months belong to frozen daiquiris and technicolor snoballs.

When it comes to celebrating a birthday, graduation, or just feeling alive in the Big Easy, the stage is set with buckets of seafood, cocktails in James Beard Award-winning bars, and grand dining rooms that have hosted generations of milestone events.

4 Must-Book Restaurants in New Orleans
New Orleans’s restaurants are the beating heart of this festive city, and to say they’ve had a tough few years would be putting it mildly. The good news is that hospitality is calling again, and nobody does it better than the restaurateurs, chefs, servers, and bartenders that call the Big Easy home. Superior service continues to set New Orleans’s restaurant scene apart. Among the standouts, there’s a brand-new izakaya helmed by a meticulous executive chef who spent time in Japan and a Mid-City tapas bar that churns out a one-of-its-kind, afterhours brunch for the midnight munchies. Book one, book all, and be warmly welcomed at these four new restaurants, representing the best of New Orleans right now.
