"This family-owned Sicilian restaurant has ruled in Gretna for more than 40 years, and with good reason. Tony Mandina’s is wonderfully old school, the kind of place where bridal showers are big affairs and red gravy is serious business. Classic meatballs, veal Alfredo with crabmeat, and an awesome chicken parm. It’s 10 minutes from downtown, make it happen." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
