You must try the bruschetta!!! We also got the Sea-bass which was wonderful! I personally got the penne pasta with vodka sauce it was good but honestly I was hoping for a little more. I would definitely still go back and again absolutely have to try the bruschetta! Our waitress Ally was amazing and very knowledgeable! We have a dairy allergy in the group and she knew what did and didn’t have dairy in it and or how to modify dishes! We really appreciate that! We sat outside and they had heaters at every table which were perfect!

So amazing. Food excellent. Lasagna was very good. Service fantastic. We come here every year for Thanksgiving. So good that we won’t split a dessert. I want a whole Coppa Pistachio made with pistachio gelato all to myself. I don’t want to share it not even with my husband. Last year we regretted sharing.

My family & I had the honor of attending their soft reopening and everything was wonderful! Service was friendly and you can tell the staff has pride in the food/drinks. Each dish was curated with Italian heritage in mind and you can taste the quality and care of the ingredients.
Stand out dishes were the mussels, prosciutto w/melon, and porcini paradelle (made with fresh, al dente!). Bread is made in-house; I had a hard time saving my stomach because it was so delicious! Wait time between courses was long but that’s to be expected with a soft opening and it allowed a relaxed atmosphere.

The service was above and beyond. I’m talking, top notch. For that reason alone I would recommend this restaurant. However, the food is phenomenal which only adds to the experience. The atmosphere here is quiet, dim, and romantic. The music isn’t loud and at the perfect volume. There’s outside seating and heat lamps by all the outdoor tables.
The team works together efficiently to order, serve, and take away plates. You can tell they have a system and it allows each server the chance to give every customer the best service possible.

We lucked into the Italian barrel one evening, situated on the edge of the French quarter and near Frenchman Street. Service was STELLAR! I must specifically mention our server Conner, for making a delightful experience! Our dishes were excellent. The lasagna, many times a very heavy meal, was pleasantly fresh and light. Portions sizes are just right. Definitely will be returning!

Oh my goodness gracious! What a fabulous experience. Cheese board, focaccia, veal picatta, lasagne, mushroom ravioli w truffles. Shew it was by far incredible and the espresso martinis by Matthew. Table service by Daniele and Connor are unsurpassable.

Had such a very nice dinner October 7. Our waiter was Blake. He was so kind and so sweet and so helpful really enjoyed having him as our waiter. I had chef Samantha’s Fusilli Pasta and it was amazing. Our dessert was extremely yummy as well so make sure you don’t skip out on that part. Absolutely love how cozy it is next time. I wanna be by the window. Only other thing I would add is much easier just to Uber to this location. Parking is tough and if you don’t know where you’re going, you could run into parts of the city that aren’t so pretty.

This small but powerful place showed up on our stroll to the sugar bowl parade! We were seated at the bar and had the best bartender ever! Try the bloody called the Wild Mary! Wow. Just ask for the story on the ingredients! We had the caprese salad and the penne ali’Arrabbiata. Holy great Italian food. Just GO. eat at the bar if you don’t have a rez!!

Conner was an amazing, attentive waiter. Very knowledgeable to all our wine questions. The atmosphere was intimate, just what we wanted to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Food was delicious and the Bomba was so good!

We wish we had discovered this place sooner! The food, service, and atmosphere were great. I had the porcini ravioli and my husband had the ahi tuna and pesto pasta. Both were delicious. Our only complaint would be that the pesto pasta needed a lot more seasoning. Our server, Connor was so helpful and patient with us as we were choosing wines.
