“Have only eaten there and been to an event. Love the atmosphere!“

“Was in New Orleans visiting for a few days & was happy to see this little Italian restaurant open. Our waitress was very very friendly & a pleasure to talk to. I started off with a sweet tea to drink & let me tell you, IT WAS THE BEST SWEET TEA I HAVE EVER HAD!!! So good! I kept it pretty simple with just pasta & marinara sauce which was yummy. Food came out quickly & the tiramisu for dessert was delicious.“

“Reginelli's manager called me the next day and made amends for the burnt pizza. It was explained to me that they don't do business like that an that the pizza should not have left the store. Reginelli's manager awarded some reward points for their error. I will order from this restaurant again in the near future. Thank you Reginelli's for making things right.

Ordered from reginelli's pizza on magazine street. I work private security in the area and cannot leave my post. I made my order at 11:31 am ticket #9. The delivery was quick as reginelli's is located about 3-4 blocks. I'm also a diabetic and have to eat on a schedule. Well anyway I open the pizza box and most of the pizza is burnt/crispy. The pepperoni was hard and crispy like most of the pizza. I would have sent it back but I was hungry and had to eat something so I ate most.of the salvageable pizza.“

“One of the best places for dinner in the French Quarter. Thank you for the food and the fantastic service!“

“the cakes 🎂 are so good...u have to try them..“

“Stopped here after reading great reviews and absolutely did not dissapoint. Bruschetta was the best I ever had, Caesar salad was excellent as well. Pastas (bologna and funghi) were outstanding. We will definitely return on our next visit to the big easy. Highly recommend.“

“Gulf shrimp pizza to die for!!!! Seasoned fries also hit the spot. 4 kids and three mom's stubled in after a long travel day and they didn't disappoint!!!! Everyone was so welcoming and we had a great time and the food couldn't be better.“

“Step back in time to the classic crooners era. Exceptional customer service. 1pm on Thursday, driving down St. Charles passing the time until I needed to be some place, passed this little gem and decided to pop in. I was immediately greeted and sat by Mr. Otis. Promptly bringing water. Mr. Georgio informed me of the availability of fresh softshells, and took my order. Sitting by the window watching the beautiful streetcars going up and down St. Charles. There was a few people in the restaurant but it was a whole vibe. Meal was fantastic. I watch a sweet older couple ask Mr. Georgio about the street car, he walked the couple across the street and give instructions on what to do. Absolutely suggest taking the time to visit. Two guests, appetizer, 2 lunch specials, water and tea bill was in the mid $60s without tip.“

“Absolutely amazing pasta dishes and fun atmosphere.“

“If you haven't been to this perfectly uncomplicated small venue then you are missing out. Chef Sam is bringing her amazing dishes to new places in a place that feel likes like eating at families house. I was impressed the moment I stepped in. If you are lucky, you will have Gina as your server. She is a perfect mix of funny, great stories and never ending hospitality. This is your place to try!“

“Shout out to the entire team at Two Tony’s. My son and fiancés rehearsal dinner was outstanding. Mr. Tony and his team are the best. Great food and excellent service. We had a party of 30 and everything was PERFECT! I highly recommend them for your party. Very reasonable prices as well.“

“Best onion rings around! Friendly welcoming staff. Overall great experience!“

“As expected from this restaurant group, well-known by their other restaurants in the city, the food is absolutely delicious. The pastas are perfectly cooked, and the portions are very generous.

For fans of Costera and Osteria Lupo, the menu will be very familiar. But the consistency is key, and great Italian food is a nice addition for the area.“

“We are forever customers! Not only is the food amazing and the staff top notch, East of Italy goes out of their way to accommodate guest. We wanted to book a party and they went above and beyond to make it happen. Our son’s celebration was everything and more. We haven’t had a meal we didn’t like. The food is always fresh and ANY type of bread from here is heaven sent! I“
