Relaxed neighborhood joint serving po' boys, seafood & Creole-Italian fare since 1947.
"This 1940s-era Creole Italian restaurant in Mid City is known for its own special twist on the classic muffuletta, called the “Frenchaletta.” Forget the round seeded loaf. Liuzza’s stuffs it all in po’ boy bread. It’s basically the opposite of the one at Parran’s (muffuletta bread stuffed with po’ boy fillings)." - Beth D'Addono, Eater Staff
"There are new owners of Creole-Italian stalwart Liuzza’s Restaurant and Bar (not to be confused with Liuzza’s by the Track), the latest round of ownership for a restaurant that first opened in 1947. Brothers Jason and George DeCastro, Erin Clark, and Michael Shelow are set to take over for the Bordelon family next week, a year after Liuzza’s co-owner Frank Bordelon died (the restaurant was on the market for a year before that, however). The brothers own sports bars in Miami, according to the Times Picayune/New Orleans Advocate, which Clark helps run, but they’ll relocate full-time to New Orleans, with Clark running the front of house and George DeCastro in the kitchen. As far as plans for the future, DeCastro might end up introducing dishes from his Filipino heritage, he told the newspaper, and Clark envisions creating an “Italian beer garden with bistro lighting” in the outdoor space." - Clair Lorell
"Mid City Creole-Italian restaurant Liuzza’s (not to be confused with Liuzza’s by the Track) is up for sale, with owners Lori and Frank Bordelon telling NOLA.com that they are selling the business to retire. They’d like to see it continue as is under new owners, they said, and will keep the restaurant open as long as they continue to own it. Known for its red gravy, seafood lasagna, and especially the Frenchuletta, a hot muffuletta on French bread instead of the traditional round, it’s been a neighborhood go-to since opening in 1947, despite changing hands a few times." - Clair Lorell
