The seafood cup and Mama's eggplant are wonderful, even though it was half parsley.

The best Italian food ever! Frankie is the best cook. You can't wrong with any item in the menu. The eggplant roll and the pasta vacca were incredible! ...

We were WOWed by this dining experience. Let me start by saying that the gentleman who waited on us was fantastic and made the experience extra special. He even sang to us in Italian. The dinner was probably the best Italian food Ive had in New Orleans. I ordered a special that was steak tips and a side of the red sauce pasta, so I did not have to give up the red sauce. It was tender and pink in the middle and one of the best things I have eaten. My friend got the veal with peppers and mushrooms also fantastic. (I tasted it to be sure) We also got a fried eggplant medalion with I forget what kind of seafood sauce. We could have licked the plate. It was not crowded. Really nice inside. There is a long bar. Plenty of seating. If you arent eating here, you are missing out. Good date spot, but there were families eating there. For dessert, cannolis with a cinnamon chocolate filling made there, coconut gelato, and a small cheese cake with cappucinos. A

A real Italian experience. We got the feed me course meal and it was delicious. One of the waiters was singing in Italian. Romantic, open air feel to the atmosphere. One of the best Italian restaurants in Metairie. Loved it. Definitely worth a date night.

We’ve been making the drive from the north shore to Nephew’s as long as they’ve been open. The recipes are authentic Italian and incredibly delicious. The service is personal and perfect. And we always find ourselves talking our meal for days after the fact. Don’t pass up this local favorite.

There is an order here called the feed me. If you order the feed me, they bring you course after course after course after course a little bit of everything. Delicious. Pricey but worth it. Excellent. Excellent Italian food.

We had dinner at Nephew’s Restaurant with two other couples. The experience was really great, from start to finish. We were very politely greeted by the valet upon arrival. The waiter was super friendly, brought our drinks, explained all the specials and promptly served our food. The food was excellent and the portions were huge. This is a great spot to eat and we will return.

We waited quite a while to visit this restaurant because of some negative reviews on sites. However, last night we decided to try it with our close friends who had experienced Tony Angelos often with us in the past. I can assuredly tell everyone that our experience was at least good - and quite possibly better - than any past dining experience at Tony’s. I am now going to be skeptical of negative comments in review sections. Perhaps it is because the space for this restaurant is in a small strip on West Metairie. Doesn’t matter to me where a place is located IF the quality of the food and experience is rewarding.
