Business Description from the Web

The design of the restaurant, which owner Antonio Mingalone named in honor of his father, is reminiscent of the family’s trattoria in southern Italy, with an open kitchen, elegant interior, and a diner-friendly bar.

Most cooking is done on our grill with popular dishes like Grilled Lamb Sausage, Grilled Atlantic Salmon, and Grilled Medallions of Beef Tenderloin with Chianti sauce. You’ll... more

The Scene Situated in downtown's Bayou Place complex, this popular Italian restaurant often finds itself hosting an avalanche of diners frantic to eat well and move on to nearby venues. Still, this airy restaurant shines, showing off its upscale Mediterranean character and reliable menu. When weather permits, outdoor tables provide a great view of the Theatre District. The... more

Food is OK at best, but the real problem here is service: we had to wait almost an hour for our orders, despite telling the waitress that we had show tickets in a little over an hour and ordering off of their so-called "thiry minutes or less" menu (and her assuring us that we'd have our orders in plenty of time). An hour later we left on empty stomachs. You just can't trust this place, unless... more

This restaurant is highly overpriced and the food didn't even come close to being good. Got some sort of chicken with goat cheese. There was less than a one spoonful of cheese and the chicken breast was bland and tiny. I should have stayed home and made my own. I would NEVER return to this place nor would i recommend it.

I really have half a notion to call the manager/owner and let them... more

Calamari, rubbery and bland. Food came out and was cold and unimpressive. Do not waste your time or your money when there are significantly better restaurants a couple blocks away. The extra walk is more than... more
