Tommy's Cuisine

We loved everything about our visit. The food was amazing! The ambiance is amazing! It is a bit small but they make the best of the space (tables close in proximity and near the wall). Crab cake was delicious and the angel hair pasta on the chicken parm is great! The bread they give taste fresh and delicious. Next time we will try desert!!

Enjoyed a lovely dinner here tonight. Service was amazing. Not only was our server attentive and friendly, but so were the other staff we interacted with. We had warm burrata, italian chopped salad, veal blue crab piccata, shrimp fra diavlo and creme brulee. I didn't see a lot of blue crab in my entree, but it was still really good. I would not get the salad again only because I didn't like the dressing of the celery in it. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend

This is a fantastic restaurant. Our server was just the best. The food was delicious. Two of us ate for $110 including tip. The place is really cute. The food is delicious. I would have given them 5 stars but I felt like in the pasta dishes which had meat the meat including seafood was a bit scarce. With that said every single things was delicious.

We have eaten at Tommy’s Cuisine several times and have never been disappointed. The food is always good and it tastes like really fresh ingredients. The service is also consistently good. Tommy’s is a nice place, just fancy enough to be attractive without being at all stuffy.

As usual the food was amazing. The pull apart garlic butter rolls are the bomb, thr calamari was good and the best was the veal and blue crab picatta. No room for dessert.

We really loved this place. The food and service was phenomenal. I was just a little disappointed because I expected more of a fine dining experience. When we walked in there was a volleyball team in gym shorts and jerseys and a lot of people dressed casually. The service was also very casual. We also noted that we were on our honeymoon and didn’t receive anything special like a nice dessert. Just not what we expected. We enjoyed our dinner though.:)

Went to Tommy's last night with my girlfriend for our first time eating in New Orleans and it was PHENOMENAL. The complimentary bread with oil was nice to start, the Chicken Parmigiana was the best chicken Parmigiana I've had in my life. It was crispy while still being moist, the cheese on top is ooey gooey amazing, the angel hair pasta and gravy was heavenly. I loved it. My girlfriend got the fettuccine Alfredo with the gulf bay shrimp and she also loved her dish. They also certainly do not skim on the portions. She had to get a to go box And I left STUFFED. We split a tiramisu for dessert and also very much enjoyed it. Dim lights, candle light, very romantic spot and I'm so glad I took her here. The service was very friendly and our server was sweet and personable with humor. Absolutely zero complaints about our experience here and would love to come here again. It may be pricey, but it is well well WELL WORTH IT. I'll be recommending to anybody I know who is visiting New Orleans as it was the best way to start my birthday weekend.

We had a spectacular thanksgiving dinner. The thanksgiving special was great. Turkey was moist and green beans, crawfish dressing and sweet potato casserole were perfect! Emily was our waitress and we were delighted with her service. Congrats!

My husband wanted to try something new. I'm not so good with new. I have my favorites, and New Orleans is the foodies lover's delight. We can't go wrong so, I went. It was all that! Went early to the bar, NOSH. Thank you Ashley and Erin for one of my favorites,espresso Martini. And for making us feel so welcome. What a nice resting spot with a huge cool vibe lounge. Out next trip here in December ,we will bring our family here. Next up, the dinner right next store. Tommy's Cusine. Large size plates, the best apps, and my God the pasta! Don't think twice...just go experience.

When you go to New Orleans, you just expect to be eating great food at every meal. Unfortunately Tommy's was, at best, good. It was not great, and I would not make an effort to return to this restaurant in my future visits to New Orleans. As I thought about the difference between service and quality of food on this occasion, service definitely exceeded the quality of the food that we ate. Our server was attentive and busy and we felt like we mattered to him. What was wrong with the food you ask? It was bland. There were no strong flavors to get us excited about. We did enjoy a very good bottle of Seghesio Zinfandel. Even the glassware seemed a bit cloudy. Again, very good service, but we were not comfortable with the environment as well. Probably my fault, due to the high expectations that I had for eating in New Orleans.

On our last night in New Orleans we decided to walk down to Tommy's Cuisine from our hotel. It was a Monday night, so not busy which means we didn't have to worry about waiting for a table. And, we got plenty of attention! The restaurant has an old-school Italian steakhouse feel and we settled in as soon as we entered. My only complaint for the night was that the complimentary bread service consisted of some pretty dry and crunchy bread - didn't have a lot of flavor. Luckily, things got WAY better when the food arrived. The meatball appetizer was delicious. The meatballs were flavorful and doused in a yummy red sauce with a dollop of ricotta. I ordered the chopped Italian salad as I had been eating a lot of fried and rich food and wanted something crisp. It was full of fresh veggies, olives, and onions and dressed with a light vinaigrette. The other dishes sampled were the Eggplant Napoleon - an amazing concoction of fried eggplant, topped with a crawfish and blue crab dressing and shrimp. It was doused in a heavenly lemon butter sauce. Super rich and super unique. Finally, my son had the grilled filet mignon with a side of crawfish. He said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had (and he's had some really pricey steaks). It was buttery smooth and full of flavor. For dessert, we split an expresso and a slice of melt-in-your-mouth tiramisu. Overall, this was one of the highlights of a trip FULL of amazing food.

Had a larger group dinner here while I was in town for a conference. This place is the epitome of charm! I loved the atmosphere! The staff was fantastic! I really appreciated their menu here too! Good variety! My meal was excellent! I even left with a bottle of wine that was on sale! Overall, a great evening here! I would definitely return!

If you want some authentic Italian food in New Orleans, this is absolutely the place to go! The first time I had anything from this restaurant, it was takeout and I was blown away. I am a huge fan of Italian food and the house marinara is breathtaking! I came back to dine in for the first time during Essence fest 2024 to get away from all of the crazy crowds and we were the first people there as soon as it opened. The server was one of the sweetest guys ever and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. I went with what I got for takeout, which was the chicken Parmesan Entrée. Their portions are huge and very filling. The sauce is made in house and it was exactly the same as the takeout. We also ordered a bottle of rosé was half off due to their happy hour. You feel like you are in a little piece of Italy inside as the decor and the feel is very Italian. I had leftovers but accidentally left them on the table and I was very upset that I did that. Lol we will be back!

Everything about our Sunday evening dinner here was great. Our server, Nadine, was very attentive, personal, and a great waitress. She was quick to greet us, took our food order in a reasonable amount of time, and checked on us periodically throughout our meal. Ambiance is elegant - white table cloths with clean glassware on the tables, bistro type chairs which give you that "Italian" feel. Food was yummy! We got the fettuccini Alfredo with breaded chicken, meatballs, duck and andouille gumbo, and the filet mignon with potatoes and broccoli. Everything was yummy. Meatballs were to die for. Steak was cooked to the temp we ordered and was juicy and flavorful! We would recommend this restaurant. Oh, and save room for dessert!! The creme brûlée was perfect.

A beautiful meal and experience! All the food was excellent. We had meatballs and a Cesar salad to start. The meatballs are my favorite in the city. And I know my meatballs. Service was impeccable as is always the case in NOLA. We dined on the Shrimp Diavolo and the Chicken Marsala; both were divine. We ended the meal with a spectacular tiramisu and expresso. Just a magical evening between the ambience, the wine ,which was chosen by our server, the service, and the food. This is going to become a regular for me. A+++

I went to Tommy's while in New Orleans and it was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing and offered great suggestions to try. The gumbo there superb I believe it was the soup of the day. The chicken Marsala was delicious. If you are visiting or live in the city I suggest giving them a try.

Excellent service and food. We were seated promptly without a reservation; however, we were there early and might not have been so lucky if we had been late. We would definitely return.

I wasn't surprised the food was delicious, because it's New Orleans! I had the spaghetti with a glass of well blended red wine. It was a great pairing. The waiter was great and helped me decide which would complement the bolognese best. My colleague and I went for dinner on a Wednesday night and the ambiance was calm and gave an old luxury feel. I highly suggest this restaurant.

Made reservations for Thanksgiving 2 months ago. Found out it has closed 5 days before Thanksgiving. And that we happen to find out on our own. Never given a heads up. Try to make reservations anywhere 5 days before Thanksgiving.

Wow! Just wow! Food was delicious, and I mean absolutely delicious. Service was amazing, servers were attentive and quick. We went for a revellion dinner so it was a limited menu but everything on that menu was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!!!

We went there for the Revellion dinner. As we do, we each had something different so we could share. Turtle soup, shrimp linguine and the fish were our favorite. Two bonuses-1/2 price on all wine so we had Caymus Cabernet and our wonderful waitress Kevine - like Devine but with a K. Thanks for a great dinner!

Been here a few times over the years. Recently had the duck and sausage gumbo. Outstanding! The service was excellent as well. I need to come back here soon! Highly recommended.

Mediocre. The waitress was nice but would spill water on the table and had an attitude whenever we would order or request something. The spinach artichoke dip was lite on the artichokes and spinach and heavy on the cheese and mayonnaise. The chicken picatta was mediocre. Not many capers in it and not much lemon flavor. The chicken did not have a lot of flavor, but the green beans were cooked well. Over all the food lacked flavor and would probably not return to the restaurant.

Dyson truly made our experience a memorable one. We drove in from out of town not knowing it was 15 minutes until closing and the kitchen and his service still executed. He was knowledgeable of the menu and even recommended delicious dishes! We ordered the pasta capri and veal piccata which were both phenomenal. Thank you, Dyson for your immaculate service!

Food was delicious! I ordered the 5 course meal with grilled gulf fish Capri. Sooo delight! My server LaLa was very knowledgeable of the menu. She was pleasant and personable. She made sure i had everything i needed and that i was satisfied. When you come ask for LaLa! You won't be disappointed!

Called and whoever answered phone said they had gluten free pasta. Arrived and they did not. We should have left when we found this out. They were out of multiple things. Had almost no wines available by the glass and the service took forever. Food we did get was just okay. Will not be returning.

I guess we had the non-privilege to dine here on its last night of operations. Wish they would've reached out to the people with reservations to let them know. One of the worst meals I've ever had in my life and the place was filthy. I can see why they closed. It was awful, beyond words.

OMG! Krystal was amazing ... simply amazing customer service -- from the delightful bourbon cocktails to meatball appetizers that were a meal all by themselves - Lasagne - red fish and Cobb salad! Yummylicious! Don't forget the Creme Brûlée - Heaven! Thanks Kim, Malcolm and Sandra - Atlanta

Nice white tablecloth restaurant with excellent ambiance. We made a reservation online and were seated within five minutes of arrival. Our server Krystal was amazing. Perfect timing of ordering and serving of multiple courses, personable and outstanding service. Food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the Eggplant Napoleon, which was a very unique dish. Also, half price wine! We would visit Tommy's again!

Service was great even though we had a large party. The food was worth wait, delicious! 10 out of 10 for this dish! Great for Italian lovers.

Service was amazing. Krystal was great! Food was excellent and the atmosphere was great too. Can't wait to get backs!

A solid Italian choice when surrounded by Creole cuisine! My party of six stopped in last night for dinner for something different than the usual New Orleans cuisine. The restaurant is beautiful inside, and most of the patrons give it an upscale vibe without prices matching that vibe! Wine here is always 50% off of all bottles which I can appreciate due to the high markup at most restaurants. The food is pretty spot on for a town not known for Italian cuisine. The calamari is fresh, lightly battered, and served with a few nice spicy fried peppers! The spaghetti and meatballs were outstanding with meatballs that anyone would be proud to serve! You can get some Italian dishes here that have a creole twist and one of our guests did just that by ordering the sheepshead fish of the day dish. It was extremely flaky, seared nicely, and a very flavorful dish overall. **Warning** I would be remiss if I didn't mention that you need to review your bill before paying!! I feel as though sometimes a server will capitalize on a larger group that is ordering, drinking, and having a good time by trying to slide in extra charges. Our server, Steven, who was as pleasant as you could wish for as a server, did exactly that very thing! When bringing the bill to the table he had added an extra bottle of wine to the bill! Keep in mind that he was the ONLY one working our table. When the bill was handed back to him and noting the extra bottle of wine his exact response was "I was going to take that off eventually"!! Eventually when? Once I hadn't noticed and actually paid for it? So if you knew it was on there, how unprofessional of you to deliver it to me to see if I'd pay for it! Great food, great wine prices, but be mindful of your bill for extra charges!

Dinner tonight was just "fair" at best. Starting with service, our server was just not engaged and probably very new. It took him over 15 minutes to find a bottle of wine that we requested. We had to show where it was. The calamari was undercooked and not particularly tasty. We ordered two salads, only one was delivered. It took forever to get the missing Caesar salad which by the way was about the best thing I experienced. Again poor service here. Our server was nowhere to be found and others we asked to get it were not terribly interested in helping. My main course was chicken marsala. Again it was fair at best, and the green beans were too salty to eat. We asked for some cheese to put on the pasta, again that took forever as well. The restaurant was not very crowded this evening. I'm wondering if the level of service and quality has caught up with them. They do have a decent, not great wine list at basic retail pricing. That was probably the highlight of our dinner. As the eternal optimist, writing a two star review is not something I like to do. That said, there are so many great choices in Nola and this just wasn't one of them.

We really enjoyed Tommy's and will return. Excellent Italian comfort food with just enough NOLA flair. Great wine list of solid wines, cheaper than at the liquor store. Crystal was wonderful!

We dined here tonight to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Our waiter, Leon, made the night wonderful.

My initial visit to Tommy's Cuisine revealed a shadow of the renowned New Orleans establishment it once was. The fish capri I ordered was overly salty, prompting me to return it, while my companions expressed dissatisfaction but chose not to send their meals back after a lengthy wait. Moreover, we encountered an issue with an unauthorized 20% tip added to my daughter's credit card, despite our shared payment which included an 18% gratuity. Thankfully, the manager addressed this by issuing a refund. Regrettably, we do not intend to dine at Tommy's again.

Underwhelming. I have had good meals here in the past. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. I will start with what is good: the wine prices and the wait staff. But that is it. Turtle soup was stringy and lukewarm. Crab cake was full of shells and cold in the middle. Salad tasted like bottles Italian dressing. Oh, and it took over and hour and a half for food to arrive after ordering. Something is seriously off with the kitchen. A bit of useful history: Tommy got his start as a chef at Irene's in the Quarter, and then started Tommy's back in 2003. It was good for years, but then Tommy sold the restaurant at some point, and it is now in the hands of "creole cuisine restaurant concepts", a corporation which owns a string of subpar restaurants and daiquiri shops around New Orleans. For example, they own Broussard's in the Quarter, which is also a lousy restaurant, especially when there are so many better choices. So save your time and money. Avoid Tommy's. Maybe if someone else takes it over it can be redeemed.

Great local Italian spot with creole flavors. Delicia was a wonderful server, and every course was better than the last. Definitely recommend!

Our server Leon gave us the best service in New Orleans during our 5 day stay. Polite, informative, and attentive, thank you so much Leon!

Dinner at Tommy's last night...id give it 6.5 out if 10 stars. The manager was personally walking around welcoming everyone. That was really nice. Our waiter was nice, but a bit unpolished. She spilled my first taste of wine on the table, bread basket and my plate. Phil had to ask her to replace my glass so it wouldn't get on my white clothes. My warm burrata salad was over cooked. It wasn't warm, it was baked, so the burrata had no creaminess at all...it had the consistency of baked mozzarella (photo shows what the dish used to look like compared to what it looked like on this visit). My crab cake was pretty good, but can't compare to Rizutto's. Phil's duck gumbo was delicious. His shrimp pasta dish was good. It didn't wow him, but it was good. Their wine prices are amazing!!!! I probably wouldn't return.

Was expecting a little more from this place to be honest. It was cute inside and we sat in their little wine room. Started with the Italian Chopped Salad and Chicken Andouille Gumbo. The gumbo was great, but the salad was drenched in dressing. For dinner we had the Crawfish And Louisiana Blue Crab Capri and Bone In Chicken Rosemarino. The pasta was absolutely amazing and I could probably eat it every day! The chicken was meh and they forgot the potatoes that go with it, so it was literally just a chicken on a plate.

BE CAREFUL!! CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENT AFTER DINING HERE. The servers, one in particular named Boogie, stole my money. I went with a party or 6 and we had two separate checks. We decided that one person would leave the entire tip for the table on her card. I happened to check my bank account when I got home and saw that the server decided to add a 20% tip to my card. I did call the restaurant and a manager patiently assisted me and refunded the amount that was taken without my permission. She told me that she was able to see all of that server's receipts for that day, except for mine. My receipt was the only one missing. What a coincidence. The Manager advised that the server would be reprimanded but that is a fireable offense, in my opinion. Tommy's needs to reevaluate the people that they employ. I can guarantee this wasn't his first time stealing money and probably won't be his last. In addition, the food was mediocre. I will never return.

Had a great date night here with the wife. Atmosphere was great and had a table with very little foot traffic. Service:( our server La La was on point all night. Wine selection was excellent. Low stars on food as it was just ok. Wasn't bad, but wasn't oh my god this is great. Felt typical American Italian food done ok. With that said, would absolutely go back for the service and atmosphere

Our party of 10 had a wonderful dinner at Tommy's last night. Ashley was our server and she was amazingly attentive and so much fun! We ordered delicious drinks, bottles of wine, and amazing food. Everything was wonderful and we were able to sit and enjoy each others company without feeling rushed! Can't wait to go back!

The food was severely lacking and we felt robbed for the price. We came here on Aug 2nd and were severely disappointed in the quality and taste of the food. We had the coolinary experience and it was very fishy and a struggle to eat. We felt very bad saying anything to waitress about it and ended up throwing out the left overs. The only highlight of the dinner trip was the half off a bottle of wine.

The menu and food at Tommy Bahamas is surprisingly good! I don't know why that surprised me. I guess I think of it as just a clothing chain with lots of logos:) They also play live music that is also consistently good and not so loud that you can't hear the person you're with.

(Comment to business reply; we were 2 couples. 4 people, not a large party) Food was ok, nothing memorable, but the service was horrendous. We were seated at a table with menus already there. We sat there no less than 20 min before a waitress finally comes by to ask if we know what we would like to order. I asked if we could order a drink 1st. She looked like a deer in the headlights. She took our drink order, 10 min later she came back asking to take our food order. I said we are still waiting on our drinks. It took another 15 min to get our drinks. 15 min later we placed our order. We are now at the hour mark. Food service was timely, took maybe 20 minutes for the first course. My caesar salad was worst I ever had, lettuce on a plate. Gumbo wasn't traditional, too spicy for me. Entrees were ok. Paneed chicken had a heavy coating, almost like fried chicken. We ordered second drinks when the entrees came out but we were done eating before our drinks arrived. We were going to have coffee and dessert but had to finish our cocktails and decided we didn't want to waste any more time. We got there at 7pm, we left at 9:45pm. The waitress was never rude, but appeared to be very inexperienced and awkward in serving. I have no idea why everything took so long. It's a good thing we were with good friends. There is no reason to ever return.

This is our anniversary dinner every year. We love the whole vibe of the restaurant and our waitress was super sweet! (Lakeisha). The food was perfect!! The wine was even better! Can't wait for next year to come back! Thank you Tommy's!!

Service was fabulous. Yet front hostess need to be more friendly and inviting. My server was fabulous and she knew the menu and the bartender made adjustments for the beverages we ordered. Crab cake and shrimp pasta was delicious and flavorful however it was full of shells . Therefore the enjoyment was so so . Overall will I return no but I will recommend.

My fiancé and I stumbled upon Tommy's Cuisine while staying at the Renaissance Hotel. It was such a great experience. Our server McKenzie was personable and answered all of our questions with ease. We loved the Italian margarita she recommended. We ordered the pull-apart garlic rolls with a Caesar salad for starters. I chose the crab cake and shrimp fettuccine Alfredo as my entree. Followed up with the banana foster bread pudding for dessert! It was a perfect experience!!!!! I honestly can't wait for a chance to go again.

The service was phenomenal! Boogie was very professional and took care of us very well. Loved the atmosphere and overall layout of the dining area and bar. Beautiful interior. The food wasn't bad, Cesar salad could have used a little cracked pepper and a little more acidity, squeeze of lemon would have definitely elevated the dish overall, the lasagna was a little salty but very tasty nonetheless. The bread pudding seemed a little dense, and the ice cream was crystallized. (Maybe a little old, seemed a little yellow compared to my companions who's was smooth and creamy) not terrible overall.

I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area! The restaurant has a cool vibe, everything we ordered was delicious, the staff was amazing. The waiter Stephen(I believe) was so nice to us. When we arrived we felt a little underdressed (everyone felt a bit older as well or on a business type dinner) so that made us feel a bit on edge or uncomfortable as everyone was dressed semi formal but he made us feel so comfortable. We definitely will return just wearing a better outfit We ended the night with the tiramisu to-go and wow... best tiramisu I've ever had.

Tommy's Birthdays are an annual tradition to celebrate life and reflect. To celebrate, some may buy a cake, others may travel, but what is most important is to be around loved ones, so that's exactly what I planned for my grandmother's 65th birthday. I gathered my family together and we all dined in @tommyscuisine, a local homestyle Italian Restaurant. Alexia, the hostess was the absolute best. She was very pleasant and accommodating. With 16 guests, we were able to sit in a quiet area where we did not have to worry about disturbing other patrons. AWESOME! Now due to COVID, many restaurants have been short staffed if they can even stay open. Unfortunately, this was the case. There was only one bartender for the entire restaurant, which caused errors and long wait times. There was also only one server, Morgan, who handled things pretty well considering the circumstances. As far as for food, I started with "Meatballs", "Louisiana Blue Crab Cake" and ate some of my mom's "BBQ Gulf Shrimp Bruschetta". Out of the three, the crab was my favorite. The lemon butter sauce went so well with the lightly fried crab. The fresh arugula salad on the side was a bonus. The Bbq shrimp were a classic, however nothing about it screamed bruschetta. The meatballs were my least favorite. They were smothered in the "Sunday Gravy" way too heavily, so much so that it took the taste away from the actual meatball.  For our main courses, they were all pretty good. I ordered the "Gulf Fish Capri'. The fish was seared very beautifully, the broccolini was the best, perfectly cooked, and the lemon-caper butter sauce complemented the crawfish and crab well. My date ordered the "Grilled Filet Mignon". The steak was cooked at the right temperature, but the garlic butter roasted potatoes were the star of the dish! Other than a few lukewarm dishes and inconsistent cocktails, overall everyone enjoyed themselves. Make sure y'all check out my other reviews on ig @iamtygreen!

Duck gumbo was incredible, chicken Marsala super yummy, and the Duck with raspberry was out of the world. Krystal was super nice and attentive our entire reservation! Would highly recommend

Food was delicious, however server was not as responsive as I would have liked. Seem cheap that the table was covered in a paper tablecloth.

The chef is wonderful. The management is hands on and helpful. The food is spectacular. Highly recommend.

Came to the bar for a quick bite before the next spot. It took forever to receive the glass of wine ordered...actually, 5 people walked up to the bar and ordered Tito's and soda and they received their mixed drinks before me. The Bartender lazily placed the bread and butter in front of me and about 5 mins later came the silverware...but never a butter plate. Luckily I got silverware so I had to stop using my bread as the knife. It appeared the bartender was waiting on other tables but there wasn't anyone at these tables. Just weird. No sense of urgency. Menu...I asked how was the calamari...he said it's okay. Not what they are known for. They are known for their oysters - ordered it but comes back and says they out. I ordered the warm buratta and meatballs- all apps. Meatballs were a wonderful consistency and tasty. The warm buratta was delicious as well. Asked for check, he proceeded to tell me the amount! Holy crap! Coming from a service industry background and in fine dining as well...WTF. I told him I would like the check. He charged me for a meiomi when I ordered a cab. At this point, bring on the bourbon. Paid check and left. Never saw a manager or person in charge checking on the floor.
