In 1979, after over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Joe Impastato opened Impastato’s in Metaire. Only 5 years before, his brother Sal opened Sal and Judy’s in Lacombe. Now the family of restaurants extends to Madisonville with the opening of Impastato Cellars on September 5, 2013. The Impastato family decided to bring the same traditional, authentic Italian cuisine to the table on the Northshore along with the old world ambiance of a 600 square foot wine cellar featuring over 400 labels, in addition to a wide variety of spirits and craft beers.

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch. Mr. Joe was there making fettuccine. The serving staff was so friendly, and all of the food was excellent. We had eaten at the Metairie location. We loved this one closer to home! We’ll be back.

I'll start with what was good. Calamari was nicely fried ..crispy yet tender. I wish it had been served with marinara sauce...I mean this is an Italian restaurant. The cocktail sauce didn't really match. Drinks were cold and delicious. Osso buco was good..maybe needed a bit of salt. What was supposed to be hot..was hot/cold was cold. Now the not so good...Our reservation was at 7:30pm. Restaurant was pretty empty with only one other table occupied. We ordered and our apps were brought out... followed almost immediately by our salads...then almost immediately by our entrees. At 8pm..our entrees were already being served... We still had not gotten thru our appetizers! When the salads came out..we let it go. But we weren't even half way thru our salads when they were bringing out the entrees...a half hour after we arrived! I had to ask them to take them back into the kitchen and keep them warm. We felt rushed and as if the staff just wanted to it get over with and get us out. Restaurant is dated...the desserts in a display case at the entrance make it look like a buffet. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good enough to overlook the rushed service and dated ambiance...we will not be back.
