I visited Mosca's Restaurant for the first time with a large family group. The food was absolutely excellent—each dishes were full of flavor and perfectly prepared. I especially liked the Oysters Mosca. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our group was well taken care of throughout the evening. It was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is fun, though. There were large groups, and everyone was having a great time. The staff was excellent and they all worked well together. Make sure you make reservations and bring cash since this place is a cash only

Despite making reservations 3 months in advance for 8 people, when our party arrived, two mismatched tables were put together, which was uncomfortable for those of us at the smaller table. In addition, we asked the server to turn down the air conditioner and we were informed that they could only turn it on or off because the control was broken. She then offered me a tablecloth to help me keep warm. She said this is what some customers do. The food was average and I don’t believe we were offered the option of ordering dessert. Not a good experience.

For years now a good friend of mine has raved about this restaurant and tried to describe it to me... finally we were both in New Orleans at the same time so a group of us went for dinner....
Well, Mosca's was everything he described and more. Every dish was delicious, the service was great... I just went along with his suggestions, including starting with a gin martini before tucking into a delicious barollo with dinner.
The oysters are a must, their signature chicken will live in my memory for years to come and the spaghetti bordelaise was an example of simple perfection.

A 30ish minute drive from downtown New Orleans and is totally worth it. Everything we ordered was great, especially the crab salad and the Oysters Mosca. We also got the chicken and shrimp which were awesome as well.

I visited Mosca's Restaurant for the first time with a large family group, many of whom have been coming here for decades. I can see why they love it! The food was absolutely excellent—each dishes were full of flavor and perfectly prepared. I especially liked the Oysters Mosca. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our group was well taken care of throughout the evening. It was a wonderful experience, and I’m already looking forward to the next time. Highly recommend!

I don’t get it. Oyster Mosca was good, but that was it. The meatballs didn’t have great flavor, and although the pasta was delicious, there is nothing special about it or the sauce. The sausage and potato was just outright bad. Chicken Cacciatore was a lot of bones for some chicken of mediocre flavor. I get that it’s a funky little place outside of the city, but I would advise anyone from going out of their way to make the trip here. $500 later felt like a serious rip off for the quality of food and wine.
