The Best Italian Restaurants in New Orleans

"Try a negroni — they are excellent here — and enjoy the Italian Barrel’s Northern Italian accent just steps from the French Market with dishes like veal meatballs in red sauce, penne a la vodka, and osso bucco. Sit at a sidewalk table and people watch or inside in the understated dining room." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
