Irene's

Italian restaurant · French Quarter

@eater

"This family-owned Creole Italian restaurant sets the standard for New Orleans-style Italian food, a unique, Sicilian-influenced cuisine that is homey and cheesy while remaining elegant. Open since 1992, Irene’s is much loved for its lasagne Bolognese, cioppino, and crispy duck St. Philip. Its newish location on Bienville Street is bustling and welcoming and begs for a pre-dinner martini in the piano bar before tucking into a satisfying feast." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
