The restaurant drastically overbooked for Valentines night. We arrived at our scheduled reservation time of 8pm, probably 20 couples outside waiting. They advised they were just seating the 7pm reservations. We decided to leave. Very disappointing.

Food was some of the best we’ve ever had. We had to wait an hour past the reservation time on Valentine’s Day, and it was STILL worth the wait.

Dined here for Valentine's Day dinner. Prefixed menu but good selection and food was excellent. They overbooked so even with a reservation we waited over 30 minutes to be seated. Tight seating so difficult to go to the bar to get a drink while waiting. Service was fine once we were seated.

As always the host and co owner Mary, greeted us like family. The food was a great value, quantity and taste to the upmost. No better Italian food in the Metro Nawlins Area.

I won’t be returning due to lack of parking and crammed space in the restaurant. If the food and service were exceptional I could over look the uncomfortable setting. We’re first shown a table that was in a doorway. We asked if there was another table. We were given another table. The waiter serving that table bumped the back of me 4 times and hit my head once with his elbow. He did say he was sorry the first time. The waitress serving us spilled ice tea down the back of my husband. She did bring a wet towel and bought him dessert. During our meal we heard a loud crash. A service cart had been turned over when a patron and our waitress knocked into each other. There are too many restaurants to choose from. I won’t settle for this one again.
