Good locally owned restaurant in NO

Venezia. Great steaks and Italian. Great seafood platter off menu as well.

You won't hear that rec from anyone else. The more popular suggestions will come from some others but Venezia is great. Also Brocatos Gelato is right down the street

Venezia.

They make a great pizza pie and you feel like you walked into 1955 Mafia heaven.

I'd like to go to Brigtsens. Haven't been in 2 years now and I love the place.

mopho on city park ave, then go to brocato’s.
actually if you are there during the day Saturday go then, they do a roasted pig or a lamb and it’s fantastic

Not sure the type of food you are looking for but, Veniza’s has been sold 3 times and recently was the latest, not sure who own it now.

If you are looking old school then I would say in no order:
Brightsons
Mandina’s
Katie’s
Fury’s
Fausto’s
Vincent’s
Two Tony’s
Domolise’s
Clancy’s
Gautreau’s
Irene’s- edit to add

These are just some locally family owned.

I'll say it again. Patois.

And Costera.

I love Venezia, but I don’t know if It’s good/unique enough to give it such a high recommendation for someone visiting from out of town. I feel like most cities have an Italian restaurant as good or better than Venezia. It’s just a typical good and fairly inexpensive Italian restaurant.

Gabrielle is a great recommendation. Other great neighborhood restaurants:

Clancy’s
Patois
La Petite Grocery
Brightsen’s
Bistro Daisy
Rosedale (in Lakeview/Navarre)
