The Best Big Group Dinner Restaurants In New Orleans - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"One of the best nights you can spend in New Orleans is one that ends with dancing in Frenchmen Street clubs. And with that rollicking stretch of roadway just a handful of blocks away from Paladar 511, this Bywater spot is a great place to start. The warehouse-style space bounces sound around easily, which makes the whole space feel lively from the jump. The menu mixes contemporary Italian flavors like pappardelle with spicy pork sausage ragu, and a squid ink spaghetti that comes swimming in chili butter. It’s the pizzas, though, that make feeding a crowd so easy. Pick out several for the table, but don’t skip the spicy San Marzano, which comes with a nest of wild arugula on top to give every bite a peppery crunch." - chelsea brasted
