Sal and Judy’s on the north shore

I like traditional. I LOVE Vincent’s on St Charles.

I think they’re great. Nice Metairie location too.

Irene’s

New Donald Link restaurant, Gianna, is awesome! Only been open for a couple of weeks. Convince the rest of your table to go for the family style option.

“Italians have had a presence in the area since the explorations of the Europeans,[2] Many Sicilians immigrated to New Orleans in the 19th century, traveling on the Palermo-New Orleans route by ship.[3] but most immigrated in the late 19th century, and most were from Sicily.[4] The number of Italians who immigrated in the late 19th century greatly exceeded those who had come before the American Civil War.[5]”

“Cuisine
Edit

Italians in New Orleans brought with them many dishes from Sicilian cuisine and broader Italian cuisines, which influenced the Cuisine of New Orleans. Many food businesses and restaurants were started by Italians in New Orleans. Progresso, now a large Italian food brand, was started by Sicilian immigrants to New Orleans. Angelo Brocato's an Italian Ice Cream parlor and bakery, established in 1905 by a Sicilian immigrant, is still in existence today. Central Grocery, also founded by a Sicilian immigrant and still in business, originated the muffaletta sandwich, served on the traditional Sicilian muffaletta bread.”
