Phil and Mary are delightful host. Dinner was outstanding. Laurie our server is personable, knowledgeable and beyond efficient. Everyone including busboys treat you like family. And the food and drinks are exceptional. Busy night the Friday before Christmas and didn’t miss a beat. Highly recommend.

We love dining at Ristorante Filippo! It is a special place for us. We love the food and the ambiance. My husband had my surprise birthday party in the upstairs private room earlier this year during the summer and it was wonderful. We always keep coming back and I am looking forward to the next time!

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!
