Everything was great at the restaurant but for some reason the restaurant did not have our OpenTable reservation. We were still seated but I am concerned that the reservation didn’t go through from OoenTable(?)

Hands down, the best Italian food I’ve had in New Orleans. I could drink the red gravy. All of the food was superb from pasta to steaks. The drinks were great. It was pretty expensive though- specifically the drinks. 5 people , dinner and drinks sharing 1 app was $500. I’ll definitely go back though! The main restaurant was pretty spacious but we were crammed in the bar area table and it was quite tight. We did book reservations well in advance so it wasn’t because we were last minute. Service was fabulous. All in all, you can’t do much better if you’re looking for great Italian!

Was real excited first time there. They sat us at a table next to the bar and welcome desk. The waitress was sweet but not real attentive as much as we would have liked. The food was a disappointment, Veal piccata had two medallions for veal and about a whole can of capers. Sauce was sloppy and we had to ask for refills on drinks. And finally we had to call for our waitress for a box to go and our ticket. Too much commotion

Our experience at Ristorante Filippo was absolutely perfect. We were greeted with such warmth and hospitality, and the night just got better from there. We were a larger party so we were seated in their small little private room, which was truly charming. Our server Kasey was attentive and sweet, and the food was utterly incredible. We are out of towners so we weren’t sure what to expect, but we were blown away at how fantastic our meals were. Highly highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

I have been here many times and it is always on point. The lasagna is to die for. Their red sauce is a little sweet, which I really like. I highly recommend this restaurant.
