Oh my goodness gracious! What a fabulous experience. Cheese board, focaccia, veal picatta, lasagne, mushroom ravioli w truffles. Shew it was by far incredible and the espresso martinis by Matthew. Table service by Daniele and Connor are unsurpassable.

This small but powerful place showed up on our stroll to the sugar bowl parade! We were seated at the bar and had the best bartender ever! Try the bloody called the Wild Mary! Wow. Just ask for the story on the ingredients! We had the caprese salad and the penne ali’Arrabbiata. Holy great Italian food. Just GO. eat at the bar if you don’t have a rez!!

So amazing. Food excellent. Lasagna was very good. Service fantastic. We come here every year for Thanksgiving. So good that we won’t split a dessert. I want a whole Coppa Pistachio made with pistachio gelato all to myself. I don’t want to share it not even with my husband. Last year we regretted sharing.

We lucked into the Italian barrel one evening, situated on the edge of the French quarter and near Frenchman Street. Service was STELLAR! I must specifically mention our server Conner, for making a delightful experience! Our dishes were excellent. The lasagna, many times a very heavy meal, was pleasantly fresh and light. Portions sizes are just right. Definitely will be returning!

Had such a very nice dinner October 7. Our waiter was Blake. He was so kind and so sweet and so helpful really enjoyed having him as our waiter. I had chef Samantha’s Fusilli Pasta and it was amazing. Our dessert was extremely yummy as well so make sure you don’t skip out on that part. Absolutely love how cozy it is next time. I wanna be by the window. Only other thing I would add is much easier just to Uber to this location. Parking is tough and if you don’t know where you’re going, you could run into parts of the city that aren’t so pretty.
