Very disappointed, ordered the special filet mignion medium rare; most tasteless $65 piece of meat I have ever come accross! The veal picanta was over done and over floured, the sauce was over powered with capers, nothing subtle or flavourful. It was busy, so we forgive our server for not bringing a steak knife until asked, not offering parmeagan for the pasta until asked, etc.... In short very meidiocre food, frightfully overpriced. In addition what is very underhand at restaurants like these is that their suggested tip is not calculated from the food and drinks ordered. but on the entire bill including the government 's cut and their 'special charge ' of $4 for their kitchen staff. So if you pay their suggested tip, you are tipping on a tip as well as tipping on taxes. I abhor this sleight of hand and avoid restaurants like these because I feel that if they feel fit to cheat on this, what else are they cheating on? In this case the quality of their produce as evident in the taste of their food. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Everything was great. Food was excellent. Only issue was that we sat upstairs and the waitress was stretched a little thin with the amount of people she was serving. Also after several customers sat upstairs the air conditioning could not keep up and it got a little warm. With this being said I will definitely be back. Food and drinks were spectacular they could have been having a bad night. The waitress explained that they only had two cooks for some reason, but we were not in a rush and it gave us time to visit and talk.

Always an excellent experience. Perhaps the last real family run Italian restaurants in the New Orleans area. With the owner in the kitchen and his wife manning the front of the house you are insured a great meal and memorable time.
