We had dinner at Nephew’s Restaurant with two other couples. The experience was really great, from start to finish. We were very politely greeted by the valet upon arrival. The waiter was super friendly, brought our drinks, explained all the specials and promptly served our food. The food was excellent and the portions were huge. This is a great spot to eat and we will return.

We’ve been making the drive from the north shore to Nephew’s as long as they’ve been open. The recipes are authentic Italian and incredibly delicious. The service is personal and perfect. And we always find ourselves talking our meal for days after the fact. Don’t pass up this local favorite.

The Seafood Cup and the Veal Parmesan and Pasta were excellent, as well as the little Italian Breads!
We have been eating at Nephews since it opened and this was the first time that we received such poor service. Our reservation was for 6:45 pm and we were seated immediately upon arrival. However, once seated it actually took 30 minutes to get our drinks, and another 20 minutes to order our appetizers. Twenty five minutes later we actually had to call the waiter over to our table to take our dinner order. I could have understood the delay if the restaurant was busy, however, that wasn’t the case. There were only three other tables seated. It was disappointing that the service was so poor b/c their food is delicious!

We were WOWed by this dining experience. Let me start by saying that the gentleman who waited on us was fantastic and made the experience extra special. He even sang to us in Italian. The dinner was probably the best Italian food Ive had in New Orleans. I ordered a special that was steak tips and a side of the red sauce pasta, so I did not have to give up the red sauce. It was tender and pink in the middle and one of the best things I have eaten. My friend got the veal with peppers and mushrooms also fantastic. (I tasted it to be sure) We also got a fried eggplant medalion with I forget what kind of seafood sauce. We could have licked the plate. It was not crowded. Really nice inside. There is a long bar. Plenty of seating. If you arent eating here, you are missing out. Good date spot, but there were families eating there. For dessert, cannolis with a cinnamon chocolate filling made there, coconut gelato, and a small cheese cake with cappucinos. A+

I’ve been here two times, both with parties of 10 and reservations. We made them for an early time and were seated promptly both times. The food is overall good but the eggplant dishes are very good and worth a trip by themselves. The place does fill up fast and both times I heard people calling for a table and it was either at 11pm or not tonight. If you do feed me be prepared to eat for over 2 hours.

Very nice and comfortable dining room. Waiter was very personable and the entire staff was very friendly. Many specials were available and were described perfectly by the waiter. Everything we ordered was prepped perfectly and delicious. The only complaint is the entire meal took a long time; drinks, appetizers, main course for two took almost two hours. Other than that it was a very enjoyable dining experience

The seafood cup and Mama’s eggplant are wonderful, even though it was half parsley.

Don’t go with more than a party of 4! We had a party of 8 and our reservations for 7:30, were seated at 8:45 and got water at 9:00 and bread at 9:15. We were never offered a menu since (I believe) the waiters were pushing the “feed me”. The noise level was so high we couldn’t hear anyone at our table to have a nice conversation. We ordered crab claws to hold us over till the regular food was served: they were very good! All other food was passable but in my opinion not worth the price or the wait. We left at 11:10 pm.

A real Italian experience. We got the feed me course meal and it was delicious. One of the waiters was singing in Italian. Romantic, open air feel to the atmosphere. One of the best Italian restaurants in Metairie. Loved it. Definitely worth a date night.

We arrived for our 7pm reservation and were told it would be a few minutes to seating. We were shuffled to the bar which was crowded and moderately noisy like the restaurant area. After a 45 minute wait we were informed we were the next party to be seated, however; two other parties were quickly seated ahead of us. Disappointed, we took our appetites and dollars elsewhere. I am not sure if I would return for another try or offer a recommendation for this new restaurant.
