Friend,
Mosca’s is not among the top ten best Italian restaurants in the Metro. Impastato’s remains firmly planted at #1 on that list and any such list that does not include America’s finest Creole Italian restaurant is ridiculous. And Seither’s?
His casual New Orleans completely misses the mark as well. Kenner Seafood, Harbor Seafood, Parkway Bakery, and Castnet Seafood fit the bill more so than the four listed.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Agreed
I don't get it. I have a good time at Moscas but the food is certainly nothing special and its so remote its not worth it

Impastato's

going to mr mao saturday night, first time

well he did say outside the city. I always think these lists are suspect and hinge on advertising dollars.
Posted on 10/11/24 at 10:27 am to Fun Bunch
Going to Zasu tomorrow then maybe Revel nextdoor for drinks after. Menu looks great, hope it lives up.
Posted on 10/11/24 at 10:33 am to Fun Bunch
List is meh, but I appreciate dividing them into subgroups
Posted on 10/11/24 at 10:36 am to Fun Bunch
Fausto’s is the best Italian restaurant in Metairie.
Posted on 10/11/24 at 10:43 am to Fun Bunch
I would add Wild South to that list.

Yeah that seems like a pretty major one to leave off

Nothing surprising but I honestly would have Gonzo’s on there under outside the city. I’d also put Yakuza House on there somewhere.

One notable thing about this list and a win for TD…no Mason Hereford owned spots named.

Holy shite you’re right.

I've always felt it was overrated. I understand that people love it for nostalgic reasons, but it's pretty mediocre. Appears I'm not the only one.
I would've included Bayona and/or Rosedale.
