22 Best Italian Restaurants in Metairie

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

“I just want to take a minute to send a shout out to the best restaurant in Metairie and share our experience the other night. We had just rearranged our flights to leave key west and get home a day early due to hurricane Milton when we came straggling in completely exhausted, hungry, and looking a complete mess. We got to the restaurant at approx 9:10 knowing the restaurant closes at 9:30 but desperately hoping they could accommodate us. We were told that they had already started cleaning the kitchen and unsure if they would be able to serve us. After getting the green light to go ahead if we could order quickly, we were met with nothing but kindness, great service, and of course amazing food. It would’ve been very easy for them to have turned us away or treated us like the burden that we knew we were but instead we were given a soft place to fall to breathe a sigh of relief we were home and fill our bellies with the most amazing food after not eating all day. We cannot thank everyone enough and look forward to our next visit and promise we will make it in at a much more decent time next time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My wife and I have really grown to love the Metairie Carrabba’s. When it originally opened years ago, we went once and were not impressed so despite leaving nearby we never went back. A friend mentioned it maybe 6-months ago and she swore it was pretty good so we gave it another chance and we are glad we did. We now maybe go 3 times or so a month. We had one problem with a server lately and I asked for a manager and Blake promptly solved the issue and took care of us the rest of the night. The food has always been very good, the service pretty quick and the bar service very good too. Our two favorite servers are Mel and Sara but with the exception of that one night the service has always been great too. I recommend Carrabba’s for a dinner for two or a small group of friends. Their “wine dinners” are also a hit for us. It’s nice to have somewhere close to home that you know is rock solid on the food & service. Thanks to Blake and his team!“

“I have heard quite a lot about Gio's so I had big expectations going in, I'm happy to say that they exceeded them. It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I tried a meatball, at the recommendation of another customer, it was incredible, as was the sauce.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“My husband, 3 year old, and I visited That’s Amore for the first time. We’ve been searching for a true Chicago deep dish locally for a few years. This place was absolutely delicious and the staff were so wonderful. Our waitress was an absolute angel. Truly felt like a family owned pizzeria. Well will absolutely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“
