Giorlando's Restaurant

I love this little Italian Gem!The food is consistently delicious every time we go no matter what we order. The ravioli is my wife's favorite. We often grab a roast beef po-boy to take home. It's ALWAYS outta this world!

The ambiance is not trendy, it's traditional. They still use telephones & have a big take-out biz. The service is always excellent no matter who the server. The food is ultimate: the $10 onion rings, the $10 eggplant stocks, or whatever else they have. We had the chicken Alfredo and a 1/2 muffuletta. Always a great pick.!!!!

Weekday lunch with husband. Craving Italian and this came up on a Yelp search near our location. Seated immediately. Reasonable crowd around noon, moderate conversation noise, "homey" atmosphere.Server, Abigail, was busy, so it took a minute to get out drinks ordered. Food was ordered shortly thereafter. No specific lunch menu. Watching other plates come out before ours, wondered if we should have ordered a sandwich; fries looked fantastic!Side salad with homemade 1000 island was okay. Was expecting more from a homemade dressing; tasted like a dressing off the shelf. Husband's Chicken Alfredo, blackened, was REALLY good. Nice portion. My Chicken & Eggplant Parmesan was okay. Good flavor, but lots of breading and not enough marinara, in my opinion. Portion of bread left something to be desired. Meals were around $17 ea, salad extra.Husband's Coke was refilled, and our check out was speedy.Unsure if there will be a repeat business in the near future, but if we do, we will probably lean away from the Italian. Maybe a sandwich?

Giorlando's Restaurant is one of the oldest Italian restaurants in greater New Orleans and one of the best! We prefer to dine here early to avoid any waiting, but if we must wait it is well worth it. Our favorite starter is the Shrimp, Spinach and Artichoke Bread that is shock and awe delicious. Few restaurants (really none) have ever combined these three items in this manner. Seriously this appetizer is so good you will consider fighting your loving spouse or mom for the last piece of Italian shrimp spinach yumminess! Now let's have a talk about their Lasagna. This is not your mom's Lasanga, unless your mom was born a hundred years ago in the Italian countryside and makes the best lasagna in the world as handed down for generations. I absolutely love the perfectly tenderized Beef Cutlet that is so good that months later you will dream about it and then plan out a day trip / date night to feast on this legendary epic beef & pasta. You can't eat at this restaurant only once, you must make regular pilgrimages as after one visit you will make a lifetime commitment to enjoy everything on the menu. On a side note we always get an order of the old school cannolis to finish up our meal.

Hands down the best muffuletta I've had. Our waitress was attentive and communicated well! She reminded me of my auntie loved the family atmosphere.

This is the worst food I have eaten in a very long time. I have had much better marinara out of a ragu jar. It is lacks any flavor. Very disappointing. Won't be back.

Absolutely delightful last meal on this trip. The family runs a fantastic restaurant with love flowing out of the service and the food. They have a good quality selection of items and wine. The food was yummy but no amazing. The wine paired perfectly. I loved the ambience of this old school traditional feel. I adored the service and attention to detail. The food quality exceeds the price point and again, if in the area, it's worth stopping in for that oh so special classic experience.

Very disappointed Roast beef po- boyMeat very fatty and toughAn order of onion rings which were delicious, but there were a total of 6 rings for $10I'm done.

Change the oil once in awhile , expect better from a family run place. Was to go order , shame shame !

Never had a bad meal here. Service can be a bit off, but only when its busy. The servers are working their tails off, but a full restaurant might just be to much for them to handle. If its not busy, I've always found them to be on top of it. Drinks refilled before they're empty, etc.We tend toward the shrimp etouffee and the chicken parmesan. Both very solid, and above all, consistantly the same and good. Fries and alfredo pasta are good as well.All in all, I'd pick Giorlandos over 90% of other restaurants in Metairie. Highly recommended.
