Why can’t someone just run it mostly the way it was? They had great po’boys that weren’t overpriced in a nostalgic setting. They also had some solid Italian plate lunches and those big frosted beer mugs. If I owned the place, all I would do is maybe try to add more taps to throw a couple good local beers next to the bmc, and that’s it. Liuzza’s is one of many restaurants struggling 99% due to Covid. It wasn’t a tourist spot, it’s a local joint and a cop hangout. They don’t need to be serving french polynesian fusion cuisine through a deconstructed quiche on burlap or whatever the hipster foodies are doing these days. They don’t need to be a fancy white tablecloth Italian creole restaurant where the entrees are $30-50 a plate either. F$&k Latoya and short-sighted landlords for destroying great neighborhood haunts like this one. New Orleans is a lesser city without Liuzza’s. I really wish that I could buy it for me and my friends to run.

I haven’t been this sad about a perminent restaurant closure in New Orleans since Nino’s on Carrolton or the City Park Bud’s Broiler closed.
