When owner Johnny Carrabba set out on his next restaurant venture, he knew his vision would include the fond memories he had of his dear grandmother Grace Mandola. Grace, also known to the family as Mama, was a Sicilian woman born to immigrant parents in Louisiana. She had a flair for cooking, hospitality, and deep faith.

She was known to make bread from scratch every Saturday for her legendary three-hour Sicilian Sunday lunches; and, her newly established family roots in Louisiana added interesting flavors to her home cooked meals. The entire Mandola family, including her five children and fourteen grandchildren, was regularly greeted in her home with smells of warm bread, well brewed sauces and homemade soups. It was around her table that her family learned the true meaning and value of relationships, friendships and good food.

    Always consistent and fantastic. We love the calamari, pork chop, fried chicken, crab cake as well as numerous other dishes. My favorite is the grapefruit martini

    First time eating at Graces and everyone in our party of six loved it! The Campencha and Sticky Ribs appetizers were so delicious! The chicken pot pie was perfectly seasoned and so very tasty. Other dishes ordered which were equally delicious were the shrimp tacos and the beef stroganoff. The restaurant ambience was enjoyable on this Tuesday evening, and it was easy to hold conversations around our table. The choice of either valet parking or the parking garage made parking easy! We are already planning our next visit to Graces and talking about the menu items we want to order!

    I made 50 and Bradley our waiter made it so memorable he was awesome you can tell he loves his job! He should be the poster child of Gracie’s from his personal attitude to his exquisite disposition and fun loving attitude! I will never forget how special he made my birthday!! He definitely deserves a merit raise ! Thanks again and the food was on point as it usually is Great place for any occasional

    Amy is the best server I have had in all my experiences at Grace’s. She takes the dining experience to another level. Her service was as if I was dining at very expensive restaurant. The food is always great tasting and overall experience is great. Only thing I will say is that the cost of their drinks are much higher than most places for that type of restaurant. But going for the service and quality and taste of food is definitely worth it.
