"At 2929 Metairie Road, Tana is a forthcoming 5,000-square-foot upscale Italian restaurant from the MoPho and Maypop team of Michael Gulotta and Jeffrey Bybee that revives a popular pop-up of the same name: the original served Sicilian-style dishes such as garlic spaghetti with clams and sausage and grilled snapper with harissa-roasted cauliflower, and the new incarnation will feature Sicilian dishes influenced by Gulotta’s great-grandmother Gaetana (nicknamed Tana), with a bar and lounge area; a Maypop sneak peek from September 11–24 previewed items like barbecue lobster, four cheese ravioli, and veal chop parmesan." - Clair Lorell
