re: Favorite New Orleans style Italian restaurant

I don't know if it fits the criteria or not, but I like Maximos.

I used to like 1179 before the old chef died. It hasn't really been the same since.

I really try to like the place, honestly, but Vincent's does absolutely nothing for me. Hell, I make it a point to hit it up every year or two, just to make sure, and I never walk out thinking differently. I walk in expecting something akin to Ginos (actually pretty similar menus), and I walk out just thinking ehhhh.
