Not many people know that New Orleans has a pretty significant Italian population and heritage. Tony Angello's is quintessentially Italian-American...like you're in a Soprano's episode!

One of our favorite New Orleans "character" restaurants. Perfect for both brunch and dinner. Great ambiance, even better Creole food.

A bit off the beaten path, but well worth it for great po-boys. From the creators of Jacques Imo's, so you know they have good taste. Must try the shrimp po-boy and the duck po-boy!

Local New Orleans institution. Both a restaurant and a small seafood market. Great place to get crawfish during the spring: good quality at much better prices than Big Fisherman.
