Best Italian Restaurants in Algiers Point

Great food and wonderful service all around! The carbonara was delicious.

First time here. Came to the city for a show at the Saenger. The restaurant has several dining rooms and a nice bar area. We were greeted and seated promptly at the street-side area. A fresh candle was lighted at our table. The overall ambiance is very good. The place started filling up quickly after about 5:30. As one might expect in a vibrant French Quarter location, folks were somewhat animated with their voices. The food was excellent. We had the escargot aux champignons for a shared starter—divine! She had the crabmeat au gratin which she really liked. I had the San Francisco style Cioppino. It was loaded with fish and shellfish. The only drawback was it was a little over-spiced for my taste. Otherwise I highly recommend it. Dessert was shared: Bananas Foster bread pudding a la mode. Delicious. Extensive wine list, with by-the-glass options. Service (we had Michael) was attentive; dish descriptions were thorough and accurate. Something we would like to see changed is the volume of the music. It was quite loud and made conversation challenging. The selection of songs was great, however. We will be back again on a subsequent visit to the Crescent City.

Great experience! Everything we ordered was fantastic and our server was awesome (and her suggestions were perfect).

We have been eating at The Italian Barrel for 10 years or so and we have always had a great experience. The food is always great by NOLA standards which is saying something and the service has always been efficient and friendly. Saturday night was a birthday celebration and David, our server was great with food recommendations as well as wine. We could not recommend The Italian Barrel strong enough. You will not be disappointed.

Four of us went there for my aunt's birthday. "Young Mike", a handsome New Orleans gentleman, was our server. We had a fantastic time with him as he was very personable and attentive. He made excellent recommendations and the food was wonderful. The entire staff was extremely nice and welcoming. The food was very good and the prices were not outrageous (it wasn't inexpensive but the food was worth the $). You MUST try the caeser salad.
