One of the Very Best 11/25/2009

One of the best restaurants in New Orleans, the ambiance is cozy and comfortable (a perfect place for a date) and the food is fantastic. They have a superb wine list, mostly Italian wines, and the service is wonderful--you feel like you've been invited to an old friend's home. This is the only restaurant I go to every time I travel to New Orleans and the only place I recommend to others. Pros: Best food and service in town... Cons: None! more

Perfect 2/5/2009

Visit New Orleans often and always head to Eleven79. It is perfect. Perfect atmosphere and ambiance, perfect wine selection, perfect menu, perfectly prepared dishes, perfect service, and, well, you get it, obviously top notch. Even the patrons are interesting. This is the ONLY restaurant that draws me back to New Orleans. No one should visit NOLA without experiencing the Eleven79. Pros: All aspects of this restaurant are top notch. Cons: Take a cab. more

dark, romantic, lotsa pasta 7/26/2008

this is a strange place, inside its quite high end and charming, but its in the middle of nowhere, nestled next to warehouses under the bridge. only dined once, but the servers were attentive and detached, which i like. they specialize in veal but the veal i had didnt wow me and seemed overcooked. the pasta selections were plentiful, available in half-portions, and impressive. im italian and usuall find restaurant pasta bloated or lacking, but theirs was just right. the spicy red sauce w/ a touch of anise was fantastic. will go back. Pros: ambience Cons: unsure about the veal more

Spectacular!! 5/25/2005

I am such a food snob and I was blown away by this restaurant. I have tried almost every restaurant in New Orleans and this has to be one of the best in town. The atmosphere is dark and romantic. The best bread! Every entree I have tried has been excellent except one of the pastas was a bit salty. Pros: Great food, Ambiance, Bread Cons: bad parking, shady neighborhood more

Amazing! 1/6/2005

I visit New Orleans fairly frequently, and I always make it a point to eat at Eleven79 every time. The food is out of this world- I highly reccommend the ""Veal Eleven79"", or they usually have a Salmon special topped with lump crab meat that is to die for if you are not into veal. Great service, romantic, and, without question, the best Italian I've had in New Orleans. more

2nd best place in New Orleans 9/17/2003

Amazing meal. Amazing people. Amazing service. The only place I like better is Twiropa and it happens to be down the street. A great location. more

Eleven 79 is truly a dining experience. The professional wait staff and excellent cuisine is worth a trip off the beaten path of French. For the full enjoyment ask the staff for the evening specials and the outstanding wine list. Pros: outstanding wine list, incredible food, professional staff Cons: not enough parking, out of the way, long reservation list more

Never again!!! 1/23/2003

I have been eating in New Orleans and outlying areas for over twenty years. My visit to 1179 was one of THE WORST I have experienced. I will not return nor will the people (and their friends/coworkers ) I have spoken with. I was treated better at a Chili's two days later than I was at this restaurant. Cons: treated very poorly, no parking, bad area more

    Eleven79 is a throwback to old school Italian eateries. Exposed beam and brick surround a tiny dining room, where tables are close and conversation as loud as Grandma Leoni's...
