Reviews
Amazing evening with my wife at this great restaurant. There are too many good things on the menu to choose. We ended up with the raviolis and the gnocchis and both were delicious. We also had a salad with blueberry goat cheese (also highly recommended). For the service and the atmosphere, we felt like we were part of the family. The staff work with each other like a well oil machine. The highlight of our evening was a special service from chef Sierra, who entertained us all night. We cannot more recommend this restaurant.
I had an outstanding dining experience at this Italian restaurant. Every aspect, from the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine, was truly excellent. The atmosphere exuded a delightful charm, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. The menu showcased a remarkable array of authentic Italian dishes, each masterfully prepared with attention to detail and a burst of flavors. The staff's knowledge and passion for the cuisine added a delightful touch to the overall ambiance. This restaurant is a gem for those seeking a top-notch culinary journey in New Orleans. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates excellence in dining.
In the past we have found the Italian Barrel is normally a very busy restaurant, especially on weekends. This time we made an early reservation and were extremely pleased. The service was great, friendly and attentive without being bothersome. The food was good, especially the pumpkin ravioli that I had. This was a very nice dining experience.
We went to New Orleans for our honeymoon and decided that the Italian Barrel would be the perfect place to celebrate Just the Two of Us. And they did not disappoint! It was very romantic! My husband and I have zero knowledge of wine but we told our waiter that we definitely wanted something white and very sweet and he said I have just the thing, then he proceeded to bring back a bottle of wine that I'm definitely going to call and get the name of because it was perfect exactly what we were asking for! He was very knowledgeable of all the wines they offer and knew every ingredient of each dish that we were looking at! Everyone there was very sweet very attentive and it was just so perfect for a delicious romantic dinner! Can't wait to go back next year for our anniversary!
I’ve always been a big fan of this place. Every time i’ve eaten here I leave full of good food and a little tipsy - it’s always been a good experience. The menu is a little pricey, but their food reflects the prices in taste, it’s always been really great dishes. The portions for the entrees can be a little small which is unfortunate but a constant here. Their charcuterie boards are a must try - so so good every time. Overall, indoor or outdoor, this place is a great little spot to have a nice dinner. However - if it’s warm outside, i’d highly recommend sitting outside so you don’t sweat your whole meal.
Very nice little Italien restaurant. Really good food, I had a Lasagne, which was really good. The waitress was really kind, the only thing is, that I asked for wifi, because I saw, there is wifi called "Italien barrel". The only thing I needed was a password. But the waitress told my, when I asked, that they would have no wifi. Maybe a lie or just not for customers, I don't know.
The Ambiente was nice, little street in French quarter, not to busy, but not too much hidden.
This place was fantastic!! They were able to seat us quickly even though we didn’t have a reservation. I am, temporarily, in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating. We had Rhonda as our server and she absolutely fabulous! I had the lasagna and recommend it, highly! The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and warm!
Lovely late lunch at this authentic Italian eatery! The bruschetta started us off with mild and delicately shaved Parmesan cheese, in a generous portion-size, enough for two. The main course selection included the Penne Alla Arrabiata and the Pesto E Scampi, which were beautifully plated and tasted like home made. The sausage meatballs had the perfect amount of fennel and were very aromatic. The pesto E scampi combination worked well and was not oily at all, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection! To top it all off, the service was prompt, courteous, and Alessandro brought us a taste of his beloved Italy in NOLA’s French Quarter! He owes us tiramisu, but he made up for it by suggesting the best place for beignets! Cafe Du Monde! All in all a 5/5 experience.
