This cozy little Italian Creole eatery is nestled on an obscure corner in the Vieux Carre. Irene leads the kitchen in grand Italian style. Scrumptious sensations range from Italian sausage steeped in roast peppers, roasted chicken bathed in olive oil and herbs and manicotti overflowing with ground veal and mozzarella. The Italian-style Baked Alaska is covered with a blue flame of ignited Grappa liqueur. The popularity of this spot is obvious if you come at peak dinner hours. You may have to wait in the "holding room" prior to being seated.
