Sandros Trattoria, Metairie LA Report #545

I have a friend who’s an authentic, New Orleans Italian. She’s never shown me any paperwork to prove it, but I believe her. She’s the one that told me about this place. I tried to get here once before but couldn’t get a reservation. It was kind of last minute. Today I happened to be… Continue reading Sandros Trattoria, Metairie LA Report #545

Clesi’s, New Orleans, LA Report #498

It’s COOLinary month here in New Orleans and this is my second meal. Had a good one last night at Charlie’s Steak House. When I was online perusing menus, the one for this place looked pretty good, so I had to get in here and give it a try.

Happy Italian Pizzeria, Harahan, LA Report #476

This place is located on a main drag in Harahan, but the way it’s tucked away in a little strip mall you can drive past it and easily not notice it. Even though I don’t get down to Harahan often, I’m speaking from experience. Passed it many times and never noticed it was there. Turns… Continue reading Happy Italian Pizzeria, Harahan, LA Report #476

Fat Boy’s Pizza, Metairie, LA Report #203

Red Gravy, New Orleans, LA Report #185

I’m not sure if I should say this place is strange or the people that work there are.  We walk in and inform the hostess we have a party of three.  She says they don’t have tables for three and asks us to sit at the bar.  We don’t want to sit at the bar. … Continue reading Red Gravy, New Orleans, LA Report #185

Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, New Orleans, LA Report #155

    I was in the pizza/pasta mood and heard good things about this place, so I figured I’d give it a try.  There’s one in the French Quarter, but I opted to avoid the hassles of parking down there.  This is the one located at 615 S. Carrollton in the Riverbend area. Nice looking… Continue reading Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, New Orleans, LA Report #155
