“Crab spaghetti with lemon butter sauce and toasted breadcrumbs was amazing. Staff was very friendly, attentive, and over all a 10/10 experience. First time there, will definitely be back soon. Great job guys.“

“Absolutely wonderful! We had the veal cutlet and Mac n Cheese, the veal w Crabmeat sauce, cauliflower casserole and Mac n cheese, and the chicken parm w Mac n cheese. They were to die for and more than we could eat. Laurie was a fantastic waitress seeing to our every need!“

“I hosted my son’s rehearsal dinner at Del Porto and could not have ask for a better experience! The environment, the service, the food was all top notch. They really went the extra mile to make such a special event happen. I highly recommend them for your private event.“

“I absolutely love Marcello’s! This is a family favorite for everybody. Great service and exceptional food. The best Italian restaurant on the northshore.“

“I have been going here for a long time and the food has always been good. However my last visit was disappointing. Meatballs and spaghetti were not good, meatballs were very bland and not tender. The muffaletta was good but the amount of meat was smaller then in the past. Would rather pay a few more dollars for more meat, cheese and olive salad.“

“Wow !! The food, the service & atmosphere were all top notch ! My favorite is the Bayou Redfish!! Very clean too! We will be back!“

“Had a wonderful lunch with great service“

“Always love a Fat Boys Pizza. Weeks ago I had ordered one through for delivery weeks ago and it was overcooked. After calling the Manager they had agreed to replace the with a brand new pizza on the next order. I had assumed that the order came from Covington since I also live in Covington and it’s a location I frequent. I planned to order a second pizza for delivery and simply have the free/replacement pizza sent along with it. The Manager was very kind and to send me my new pizza hassle free. I hit “re-order” on my last order I assumed all was right. It was not until later in the Manager called me back to let me know he did not see a delivery order placed. Turns out I had called the wrong location…Covington instead of Mandeville. Even though I was not purchasing anything from his store, the Manager offered (and followed through on) contacting the other location to help me get my replacement pizza corrected and delivered with my order. Thank you for not only making great pizza, but for going above and beyond on service. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“The only issue I found was the concrete floor was very dirty ( or look dirty), I spoke with the manager and he said that company was hired to clean the concrete floor, he was hopping it will look better. I love the place, but the way the floor looks like doesn't go with it.“

“I wish I had tried this place sooner! Cozy on the inside, very friendly staff, and the food--YUM. Had a lunch date here and split a salad, panini, and a pizza. Meant to save room for cheesecake but guess that's just a reason to come back sooner.The bread is unreal and I could eat the quattro formaggi pizza everyday for the rest of my life <3Thank you so much, see you soon!“

“It's a perfect place to celebrate an anniversary. We arrived and had roses on the table and received complimentary champagne due to it being our anniversary. The ambiance was romantic. The service and food were superb. We'd highly recommend it. It's a little more expensive, but it was worth it to us. We had a memorable experience.“

“I've tried to go to this place several times. Once it was a walk-in and they were very busy and explained to us that they mostly work off of reservations. The next time I called to make a reservation but it was 2-Hour wait so we went somewhere else. So finally on the third time we went in the afternoon at 2:00 when the lunch rush is gone and hopefully we would be able to get a table. We did get a table. We got a table in the bar area where there wasn't any one else there at all. The service was great. The food was even better. We got a $23 Pizza and didn't finish it all. I brought it home and it was still really good several days later. The wings were really great, especially the price. And I got the Italian salad which exceeded all my expectations of what an Italian salad should be. It had artichokes olives, a really great dressing sun-dried tomatoes. It was superb. I enjoyed seeing the old pictures on the wall and the traditional Italian atmosphere.“

“The best wedding venue in the nortshore!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!“

“I never leave restaurant reviews but this place deserves one. My husband and I went in for lunch today. We were craving Italian food. We aren't from Mandeville/Covington area. Fazzios pulled up in the restaurants near us search so we decided to give it a go. He got the Calamari. I got the Gumbo. I know gumbo at an Italian restaurant should be ok at the least. It was fantastic. Probably the best I have every had. The Calamari was breaded and fried to perfection. He got the chicken parm. I got the aiglo e olio with breaded chicken. Both of our food was so good we couldn't stop eating! If you like martinis try the blueberry lemon drop. So good! The staff was so nice. It almost felt like being home. We loved the small hole in the wall feel with elegance this place brought.“

“Great spot for consistently good Italian food. Portions are huge so you can definitely split a meal here. Very good local seafood dishes like fried soft shell crab (in season) and nightly fish specials. My favorite is their tomato cream sauce.“

“My family and I have been going there for 10 years or more. We've never had a bad meal. The food and service are always consistently good. Craig is the best bartender on the Northshore. He makes a killer Vodka Martini, and with blue cheese stuffed olives!“

“I had eggplant parmesan. Plenty of food but gravy was really thick & slightly bitter with very little cheese on top. Service was good.Others said it was good, but one ate meatballs and spaghetti.Kid-friendliness: Kids meal was fine but they did not eat very much. That is not uncommon so I doubt it was anything to do with the taste.Nice big booth to keep kids from getting up and down from a chair. Kids were 4 and 5.“

“I recently ordered the manicotti for dinner through DoorDash and with every bite, I was in heaven! It was absolutely delicious and I’m excited to order it again in the future. The only very minor issue I had was that the caesar dressing to my salad was missing from my order, but we’re all human and small mistakes happen so I wasn’t worried about it! I highly enjoyed the food itself and highly recommend trying this restaurant if you haven’t already! Thanks for an awesome dinner.“

“LOVE coming here- great food and servers (ISABEL/Izzy is the absolute best of the best!!!) - my family LOVES this place better than the other pizza joints because of the Pet/Animal TV channel. We laugh EVERY TIME and the combo makes this one of our faves.Kid-friendliness: Color sheets and the pet shows always on!“

“We have been coming to Nuvolari's for many special occasions for a while now. Every time, the food and service are impeccable. Their staff is very personable and seems to genuinely care about the dining experience. It has an elevated but lighthearted atmosphere. The food is to die for and they regularly update the menu so there are always a few new things to try.“

“We decided to try this restaurant for our Friday night dinner, they might need a new hostess because that is the first thing you see when you walk in but she looked very grumpy and not happy at all. But rest of my experience was good. The food was good and the service was also excellent.“
