San Lorenzo hands down. Osteria Lupo would be my second choice

Osterio Lupo
Avo

Vincent's is great as always but is more red sauce classic Italian. The other two are more modern Italian - both have their places.

I haven't tried San Lorenzo but it's on the list

Avo for authentic.

Vincent's for Nola Italian.

Avo is probably the better restaurant, but Vincent's is a top 10 favorite in Nola for my wife and I. We go there much more often than Avo.

Do you go to Metairie Vincent’s or Nola Vincent’s?

Somehow chefs in Metry can’t cook in Lester’s mind.

Uptown Vincent's building is smaller with more ambience. The Metairie one feels like what it is a - a strip mall restaurant in Metairie.
The cannelloni tastes the same in both places.

Went recently, and it was legitimately one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a while. This place is excellent.

Correct. And most important the corn and grab soup is damn good at both places.

Who knows the manager at Uptown Vincent’s. Younger guy with a big gut. Dude is an a-hole and might not be stable. Probably a friend of Lester’s

I prefer the maple st cafe to Vincent’s. I don’t eat there so I don’t know who that is
