23 Best Italian Restaurants in Metairie

“We just ate Vincent’s in Metaire. It was amazing from start to finish. My wife and I along with my ten month old walked in on a busy Saturday nite. They were so happy to see us and I could tell they were super busy. We did not have a reservation and they found a way to seat us. Nate was at the table quickly. I was thankful because no doubt he was double sat and he was really happy to help us. We ordered five courses and the chef was at our table before the second course to make sure we were happy. The oysters Rockefeller and artichoke Vincent were perfectly flavored . Of course we had the signature crab and corn bisc in a bread bowl as well as the crawfish bisc . Both were fantastic. That bread bowl and bisc should be considered a must. If you haven’t experienced it I’m not sure I can consider your local. It’s amazing!The Italian salad is a perfect mix of olive heaven for any Italian looking for something that reminds him or her of Sunday dinner at your Nona’s house. The Osso Bucco is rich and a labor of love for the chef because it’s the best I’ve ever had. Demi gloss is almost as good as the veal but I’m splitting Angel hair even trying to pick what was better. Dessert menu was packed with classics and the tiramisu must have been made in heaven because the lady fingers and butter cream had me needing a bigger belt when I left. Nate our waiter sped up our courses so our infant wouldn’t get restless and took time to talk with us even though his section was obviously full. He laughed with us and found a way to let us know about the menu in every way with out ever interrupting our conversation. 5 stars for chef 5 stars for Vincent’s and 5 stars for Nate. Thanks for making us feel welcome even with our baby which was the cherry on top for me and my wife.“

“We so enjoyed our dinner here! Found it by chance, but we will definitely be back!“

“Friendly employees. I had my driver come in at the recommendation of a friend, placed an order of the roast beef po-boy to go. Service was quick. Food was hot and good.“

“Tonight was our third trip to Fausto’s and our third great experience. All three of us had veal dishes and split a Caesar salad. Everything was great. We highly recommend Fausto’s.“

“I normally get half a muffaletta cut in quarters and save it for the flight back home the next day. They are incredible and I will keep doing this as long as I keep coming to New Orleans.
The place is small and it can get pretty loud, if you have someone with sense hearing (like me), remind them to bring earplugs.

Parking: Parking can be a bit tight on busy nights.“

“Melanie our server went above and beyond to make our dining experience wonderful!“

“THIS PLACE IS LEGIT!!!! Living most of my life in the Philly/South Jersey area I say from experience this place would absolutely stand up to Northeast pizza. What was even better than the food were the people who owned/ran it. We didn’t realize they closed at 2 for lunch but they never made us feel uncomfortable at all. They were absolutely fantastic from the second we walked in to the moment we left. I felt like I was back home for lunch today. This is by far the best pizza we have found in the south. Also go birds 🦅!“

“10/10 the homemade Alfredo sauce was amazing!“

“Been doing business with them for 20+ years. Great food, always getting better, perfect, reliable consistency. All staff care about their customers. Specials! Recommend: Cuban Panini Mushroom with Italian Sausage Soup Over filled po-boys So many great entrees! Get to know them soon!“

“This is top tier dining in a more relaxed setting. It’s the perfect mix of formal and casual dinning. The food was nothing short of amazing, very authentic and fresh. The service was great. This is easily one my favorite restaurant in the New Orleans are.“

“We were greeted pleasantly and seated quickly. Our waitress’s name was MaKayla and she was phenomenal! She was very knowledgeable and helpful with wine selections and tasting. We loved that it was Vino Thursday so we ordered a bottle (half price). We started off with the roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer and it was delicious. I’m not usually a Brussels sprout person but these were so good! I’d definitely order them again. My husband got the Marsala. He was very pleased as this is a favorite dish of his. I tend to be very, very picky about Alfredo but this was one of the best I’ve tasted. It was rich and creamy with just the right taste! The panéed chicken was tender, almost melt in your mouth, and very flavorful. The wine MaKayla suggested paired beautifully with both our entrees. To end the evening we ordered the tiramisu. It was heaven! I love tiramisu and was not disappointed. The restaurant is clean and had a very comfortable feel to it. I loved the light blue colors. It felt relaxing and inviting. Overall 5 stars!!!“

“Amazing food and family owned. They work hard to make sure you are happy!“

“Fury's Restaurant earns every inch of its 5-star rating, especially when it comes to their fried seafood. Each crispy, golden bite is a testament to perfection. From the flaky, succulent fish to the plump, juicy shrimp, every piece is flawlessly fried to golden perfection. The seafood is fresh, the batter is light yet flavorful, and each dish is a savory symphony that celebrates New Orleans' coastal flavors. Paired with their welcoming ambiance and top-notch service, Fury's fried seafood is a culinary journey you won't soon forget. A definite must-visit for seafood enthusiasts!“

“The most kind and attentive staff! We called ahead to see if it was hard to get a table of six and they told us it was not and to come on in. We showed up an hour later and they saved us a table. The food was authentic, fresh, hot and delicious. Our table had the lasagne, spaghetti and meatballs, Mr Ed’s special poboy and the stuffed seafood bell pepper. This was the most amazing food we’ve ever had. The hospitality was unmatched. Absolutely perfect! Come here for a good time, great food and exceptional service. Catherine was the most precious person and we wanted to take her to the Taylor Swift with us!“

“they have great food, the best roast beef po boy I've ever had. I also really like the chicken parmesan and the veal parmesan. the plates come with salad vegetable and bread very large portions. it is definitely worth the drive if you do not live in the neighborhood. they also have a nice selection of beers in the cooler“

“Love this place. We try to come once a week. Pizza is delicious. Staff is friendly. Can’t go without ordering the Garlic Cheesy Bread.“

“Milano's is a hidden gem that has excellent food. The owners are there every evening (late into the night), and they are extremely friendly and accomodating. The pizzas are very good, and they always have a ton of toppings. The entrees come with a significant amout of food that alway result in leftovers. The late night hours are a plus if you work late or just need a late-night meal. We eat here a couple times a month and are alway treated well and are pleased with the food. I highly recommend you give them a try.“

“Vengo spesso a mangiare una pizza veloce con i colleghi e ora che abbiamo i buoni Coverflex mi chiedevo se li accettate anche da voi. Sarebbe comodo poterli usare durante la pausa pranzo!“

“Fantastic! ✅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Friendly employees. I had my driver come in at the recommendation of a friend, placed an order of the roast beef po-boy to go. Service was quick. Food was hot and good.“

“Every time we visit the New Orleans area, we look for a new restaurant to try apart from the same old "tourist" places. We happened upon Freakshake Cafe tonight. The Muffaletta and Po' Boys were delicious (especially the Italian Beef) and the portion sizes are HUGE (Get the small, trust me!) We even treated ourselves to some Freakshakes. (If you're into over the top dessert experiences, this is definitely for you.) Chef Bob is so friendly and personable. He made sure that every step of our dining experience exceeded our expectations. We look forward to coming back and visiting again!“

“I came tonight. Food was delicious, service was fantastic, and it was a very laid back atmosphere.“

“Their trivia nights are awesome. The staff does a tremendous job balancing game time, ordering & serving.“
