Top Best Italian Restaurants in Bonnabel Place

"MarignyChic neighborhood spot for pizza, pasta, and seafoodWhile the main dining room is a bustling hodgepodge of families, groups of friends, and servers navigating it all, the more intimate balcony above is the best place to be seated before digging into lemonfish crudo or squid ink spaghetti. Order a pizza to share, and spend some time inspecting the cocktail menu. After your meal, head toward the river to find the entrance to Crescent Park for a sunset stroll."

"The chefs at Paladar 511 bring a modern Californian charm to New Orleans, and while the starter list has Italian favorites like homemade ravioli, beef Carpaccio, and arancini with short rib rags, you'll also find a zesty Yellowfin tuna crudo with orange and avocado that whisks you west. It’s a similar story with the pizzas. A basic cheese and tomato pie is delightful, but you can also try homemade lamb sausage or buttered leeks."

"This airy Marigny mainstay is California cool meets classic Italian trattoria. Come for the house-made pasta and pizzas: you can't wrong with the classic tomato, mozzarella, and basil combo or the lamb sausage with garlic confit, roasted pepper, pine nut, and tzatziki. The seasonal salads and vegetable plates are excellent as well."

"Located at 529 Bienville St. in the French Quarter, the spot is the highest rated Italian restaurant in New Orleans, boasting 4.5 stars out of 689 reviews on Yelp. Irene's, which recently relocated to this location, specializes in traditional dishes like lasagna bolognese, shrimp and crab pappardelle, and San Francisco-style cioppino, with shrimp, scallops, fish, crabmeat, clams, mussels, and a saffron-scented tomato and fennel broth."

"One bite of the complimentary bruschetta at Irene's on Beinville and you'll know you're in Italian heaven. Chef/owner Irene DiPietro immigrated from Sicily to NOLA and opened her beloved eatery in 1992 in a tiny spot on St. Philip Street that grew and grew as the crowds formed. Nowadays, this still family-run place (her son Nicholas Scalco is the current chef de cuisine) occupies a larger space while dishing out the same recipes."

"Established in 1993, Irene’s does country-style Italian and French fare with a strong dose of New Orleans influence out of a charming “hole in the wall” in the heart of the French ..."

"Ace Hotel stands in the Warehouse District, where you can check out Alto, the hotel’s rooftop garden. Get a mix of seasonal cocktails, wines, craft beers, frozen drinks and rotating on-tap specials at Alto’s bar. Poolside dining includes a selection of Italian-inspired small plates for any growing appetites."

"Ace Hotel, 600 Carondelet St., (504) 930-3070; www.josephineestelle.com. Fried Brussels sprouts salad includes lima beans, golden raisins and yogurt. Reservations accepted."

"The Neapolitan-inspired rounds at this restaurant in the Central Business District will be just as popular with adults, who will appreciate the winning topping combos, like salami, bacon, and fennel sausage with an egg, and prosciutto accompanied by mozzarella and a forest of fresh arugula. Not in the mood for ‘za?. There are molto bene housemade pastas and small plates to focus on instead."

"Domencia in Italian translates to “Sunday” as its a Sunday tradition to explore your taste palettes and gorge on delicious foods. At Domencia, they do just that with all of their, at home, prepared pastas and freshly roasted vegetables. Even their Napolitano style Pizzas are carefully handled and placed inside of their famous wooden oven."

"A traditional Neopolitan-style Italian eatery located in the heart of New Orlean’s Central Business District (CBD), Domenica has become a favorite among both locals and critics sin..."

"Get ready to get messy; if you’re going to “Manale’s,” you’d best order the BBQ shrimp, a dish that, strangely, has nothing to do with barbecue or grilling. It’s all about the sauce, a decadent combination of butter, olive oil, and black pepper used to poach the whole, huge Gulf shrimp. Shelling those shrimp, bathed so heavily in that sauce, means that you’re going to have butter leaking all the way down into your armpits if you’re not careful."

"About BBQ Shrimp: Pascal’s Manale s known for its amazing take-out BBQ since 1913 and is home to New Orleans’ original BBQ Shrimp. With Cajun spices and fresh shrimp, you’ll truly feel like you are in the South. Pascal Manale Hours: Monday-Saturday 11:30am-10pm."

"A true culinary landmark on the New Orleans culinary map, Pascal’s Manale has been serving Italian-Creole food out of their Napoleon Street location for more than 100 years."

"3841 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, (504) 888-9046; www.acropoliscuisine.com. Saganaki is sauteed kasseri cheese flamed with Ouzo and served with pita."

"A Four Seasons pizza includes artichoke hearts, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus and Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Reservations accepted. Lunch and dinner daily."

"The Bean Gallery is a longtime Mid City favorite serving Turkish coffee and specialty teas, outlasting many of the shops that have come and gone and over the years. It’s open early and closes late, and there’s lots of seating indoor and out to enjoy drinks and the relatively large food menu of paninis, bagel sandwiches, avocado toast, and sweets."

"The Bean Gallery is the perfect place to get enjoy a pick-me-up before or after a trip to City Park, which is just a few blocks away. This cute spot serves great coffee and tea, plus sandwiches and other food. Try the Caprese Panini!"

"I just love sitting on the patio under the tree by the entrance...No matter how hot the days are, it's always cool there. It doesn't beat Jamai..."

"Uptown/CBDBoth locations of this breakfast/lunch/coffee shop/restaurant divide their menus into “Good Cat” and “Bad Cat.” Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free items are on the “Good Cat” menu, but definitely keep reading down the page for impossibly delicious vegan queso and Buffalo cauliflower in the small plates menu. Breakfast is served all day and if you’re in the mood for a classic lunch, try the vegan grilled cheese with gazpacho."

"This Uptown-based sit down cafe offers the best of both worlds with its good and bad cat menus. While both equally delicious and freshly prepared, the good cat menu offers full flavor with no regret. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menu items such as pancakes, tofu scrambles, black bean sausage, ranchero and much more."

"The retro-industrial vibes of this cafe make it a cosy place to chow down on some of NOLA’s best vegan food. The menu is cute and creative, divided into two sections, “good cat” or “bad cat,” depending on how healthy you’re feeling. We recommend their vegan quesadillas with a side of one of their delicious juices."

"Your local New Orleans Subway® Restaurant, located at 4300 Old Gentilly Road brings delicious ingredients and mouth-watering flavors in billions of sandwich, salad and wrap combinations to you. An alternative to traditional fast food, we offer freshly cut veggies, toppings, protein and freshly-ba..."
