Our family wanted a place to dine after a long drive down to meet my daughter, and this fine Italian restaurant was within a block’s walk of our hotel.
The parking lot was tiny. parking for about 5 cars, 5 more cares behind the building, and about 10 across a quiet street. The building and signage is beautiful, especially in twilight with the neon in beautiful gold and red.
It’s apparent many people opt for reservations, but we simply walked up, and the wait was short, about 15 minutes. We were led upstairs, where two tables had been pulled together to accommodate our party of 7.
There’s a wine menu and their main menu recommends good wines to go with every dish. The dishes are varied but all are authentic Italian. For the price (around $30/plate) I found a bit much water and juice in my lasagna, but it’s authentic and tasted so. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her shrimp linguini. It had a restaurant signature name but I don’t recall it. Here’s a photo.
My sons opted for the spaghetti with meatballs. The meat appeared to be sausage and had some heat to it, enough that they commented on it. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their food.
We didn’t have to wait long for our food. Gratuity was baked into the ticket. The cost for 7 was a little less than $300, which was not unexpected for the fine dining and atmosphere.

We visited Ristorante for the first time and were thoroughly impressed by the adorable interior. The service was exceptional, especially from our waitress Meghan.
The food was delicious, especially the oysters as appetizers. However, the main course fell short of my expectations. While the ingredients were cooked well, the dish was drowned in a watery sauce that lacked substance and balance. A thicker, more controlled portion would have significantly improved the overall experience.
I would definitely return to explore other dishes on the menu.

We had a lovely experience at Ristorante Filippo! We chose this restaurant for a private gathering after an engagement. Mary was wonderful in helping us set up the perfect evening. She did a wonderful job communicating the different options for a pre-set menu. We had many lovely options to choose from and had a private room upstairs. She was very attentive to detail, arranging roses for us on the table and printing out a special menu commemorating our evening. Her communication throughout the week was stellar in ensuring we had everything set up and ready to go. Our families loved it! The food, of course, was amazing and the portions were generous. Everyone left full and satisfied! We are so thankful for such a personalized and unforgettable experience.

From the minute we got in the restaurant to the minute we left, the staff was amazing specially the waiters Marcus and Jonathan. They made sure we had a great experience and checked on us many times. The place was cozy and the ambiance was like having dinner in family. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family members. Two thumbs up.

Portions way too large, makes you lose your appetite. Quality of the veal was ordinary if not
Poor.
Fine dining price but only ordinary quality.
My wife’s fish was not good either.

The restaurant is a very nice restaurant to have a meal at. The place is a little small and cramp. The parking isn’t the biggest and will require finding parking somewhere else. The server was nice and came back often with water. The food is really good and the quality of the ingredients is there. The options they have is a a good size to focus of quality over quantity. Worst thing is the wait for the receipt to be made since they are old school and do it by typewriter but it’s a quirky trait for them. Give a 8/10.

I’m going to start by saying this; I definitely recommend Ristorante Filippo! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Baby (in my NOLA accent) let me tell you, my family and I had an amazing dining experience. We were first greeted with a genuine smile and though our stop was impromptu we were seated within 5 minutes (maybe less). Our server was a handsome Italian looking guy who at first looked a little intimidating but he turned out to be very nice . We had the privilege of speaking with the owners and meeting Mr. Filippo himself , a handsome Italian fella who definitely knows his way around the kitchen ;the food was Molto delizioso!!❤️⭐️ The atmosphere was very welcoming and comfortable, I felt like was in my own scene of The Godfather, sitting around the table with my family surrounded by plenty of food and drinks and laughter. Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

Went for my husband’s surprised 60th. They had us in a private room, and Champagne on the table at arrival. Such a great time! I normally get the eggplant parm, but decided on the chicken picatta. Wow, what a tasty and large portion dish! I brought home the leftovers, ans had them for breakfast for the last 2 days. (Love a savory breakfast )
This is our go-to restaurant!

Ristorante Filippo is an absolute treasure and one of the BEST Italian spots in all of New Orleans, plus it’s simply located in Metairie, tucked back right off of Causeway! The atmosphere is intimate with perfectly dimmed lighting. The House Cabernet is to die for and it pairs divinely with the Lasagna (the BEST Lasagna you will ever taste! And that’s coming from a true Lasagna aficionado)! The filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender and so flavorful! The service was spot on and the whole experience will leave you counting down the days until your return.

My favorite Italian restaurant in the New Orleans area. The eggplant medallions were delicious and I don’t really care for eggplant. The shrimp appetizer with olive oil and garlic was delish. Their red gravy was a tad bit sweet to me but delicious. Everyone else at the table absolutely loved their entrees (Trout Almondine, Veal Marsala, Veal Picatta and an Alfredo dish) all saying can it was the best they’ve ever had. The Tiramisu was excellent. Their bread pudding was OMG! You could really taste the cinnamon but it wasn’t overwhelming. We had to wait for a bit for our entrees but so worth the wait. Oh, I forgot. The coffee was really good, too.
