Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

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.

The split unit on the back patio WAS DRAFTY and made the entire stay uncomfortable. We added sweaters but the forced air was directly upon us. We asked if a directional change could be made and assume it could not. The serving staff was nice but were unaware at 7 pm what entrees were no longer available sending us back to the drawing board. These need to be identified by the wait staff at the time of sit down. Two requests were unavailable by 7 pm. It is worth visiting again with a few tweaks.

As an early Valentine’s Day dinner with our mom, my husband and I enjoyed every moment of our dining experience. Both food and service were excellent. Every accommodation was met with grace and the blueberry/banana cheesecake to end the evening was amazing. Will be back!

Except for a very noisy table next to ours, the evening was perfect. Comfortable ambiance, good food and service. Was happy to see they had the five course menu like Impastato's in Metairie. We will be back.

Our reservation through Open Table was confirmed for 6 pm. We arrived early and our table was not ready. Upon asking about the delay, we were told any minute as the table was still occupied. Our party of 6 stood in the very crowded waiting/check in area for 40 minutes. One of our guests had to sit after feeling dizzy. Perhaps we could have at least been offered a drink at the bar on the house. At 6:40 pm we were brought to our table. At 6:50 our server stopped by to get our drink order and said the busboy would be getting water for us. We finally got water at 7 pm. The Shrimp Au Gratin appetizer was very good. The fettuccini Alfredo was quite bland and somewhat dry. The entrees were average. We did not finish our meals until 9:30, and asked for desserts (that came with the meal) to be boxed as it was so late. We finally received corrected checks and left the restaurant at 9:40 pm. It was a disappointing experience as I had truly been looking forward to trying this restaurant.
