“We did not make reservations and they were booked. We sat at the bar for an amazing meal. Our meal was not rushed, the service was amazing, and it was a special celebration! Thank you for making it special!!“

“The food was delicious and the service was superb!“

“Lets start with the appetizer. We chose the fried calamari, it was a perfect contrast between the crunchy exterior and the slightly chewy, briny interior. it was not greasy at all.

In short: crispy, tender, savory, and a little addictive

I ordered the 8oz filet mignon cooked medium well, and it exceeded my expectations. It came out with a beautifully seared crust and a warm, slightly pink center—exactly how I like it

If you like your steak cooked medium well but still want that melt-in-your-mouth texture, this is the way to go.“

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

“We’ve been 3 times in NOLA and 3 times in this restaurant. The food is GREAT !
The plates are pretty big so worth the price.
It’s totally in the spirit of a classic Italian restaurant. If you are looking for a fancy perfect restaurant it’s maybe not your best choice.
But if you want to eat good food and hear the stories of the owners ans start discussions with other peoples this would be the place.
We’ll be back !“

“Reginelli’s Pizzeria is a little off my normal path but I am really glad I stopped by. The decor is lively, with photographs of music legends on the walls. The background music is also very nice. Service was good and the combination pizza that I had was really good. They also have outdoor seating for nice days.

“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!“
