Loved this quaint little classy Italian restaurant in Metairie. The service was great and the food was excellent. This was our first visit to this place, but we will definitely be back. Did not meet the Chef, but we met his wife and she was a wonderful host. They have been in business 24 years and the service and quality of the food are why!

Two couples went on a weeknight, and found this place to be nice, clean, safe, and friendly. Menu was full of Italian goodies and we enjoyed several. The bathrooms are upstairs, so be aware. We had good food and a nice time there.

Our waiter was uninterested, lacked menu knowledge and frankly did not care about being in the building! The meat (veal) was prepared well but very small portions. Veal piccata was primarily pasta and too many capers. Flavorful but minimal meat. Used to be one of my favorite restaurants in the past…disappointing.

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.

Ristorante Fillipos on West Napoleon and Causeway. I had chicken scallopini and my husband had pasta with Italian sausage. Both dishes were excellent and the chocolate martinis were the best. We enjoy eating here.
