Best Casual Restaurants in Metairie

Wonderful food and experience. My wife is Italian from New York City. She told Mary, one of the owners, that this was the best Italian food she has had outside New York and Italy. The service was expedient, the food was hot, the Lavazza coffee was delicious and the perfect complement to the cannoli. Ristorante Filippo went to the top of our list of Italian restaurants in Southeast Louisiana.

It was so nice, our food came out hot and fast. There was entertainment and made our valentines date felt so special.

Went there with my girlfriend for valentine’s day, she enjoyed her mashed potatoes and north atlantic lobster tail while I enjoyed my valentines day special which came with Scallops over beefroot risotto, then a main filet mignon with a north atlantic lobster tail, the desert was a cherry tart kind of pie with whipped cream, strawberries, and dried strawberries on top, all tasted very good and our waitress was attentive while also managing all her other duties so we tipped her well.

The happy hour is great. The pizza is delicious and there are even happy hour drinks and appetizers.

Our server was wonderful and service was great but the food has gone down badly in recent years. I tried the dynamite shrimp and the shrimp were the small frozen kind that tasted old. The Lettuce wraps were extremely salty and some of the Lettuce was a little wilted. Other than the staff, this place has gone down on food taste and quality.
