Best Italian Restaurants in New Orleans
Two Italian spots clear our bar in New Orleans. Both land Damn Good.
Osteria Lupo in Uptown and Paladar 511 in Marigny, both $$$, both Damn Good. Osteria Lupo carries a Michelin Selected 2025 nod; Paladar 511 holds its own without one. Not a deep bench, but two solid picks out of 225 spots we track in this city. Start with whichever neighborhood is closer.
