    The Baseline: For a Cajun Casual Dining establishment the creole flavors must be represented, there must be cajun offerings to the restaurant, and the experience must be true to the spirit of a the Cajun culture. Food: You will get fed at R&O! The portions are sizable and the flavors are there. The PoBoy is the really good go-to sandwich for R&O but also the Muffaletta is about 2-3 meals if you order the full. They are not messin' around on sandwiches at R&O. The onion rings are a good, tasty fried appetizer but it is a mound of onion and batter. All in all this is a great lunch spot with a good way not to ever walk away hungry. Service: Southern hospitality on steroids. Had a great experience with our waiter and all the staff. Kept my water and soda refilled. Ambiance: No frills, no muss, no fuss. This is a great sit down casual restaurant that is clean and up-kept. Clean bathroom and easy parking.

    Lovely Louisiana Italian food. Service is friendly, but be warned they are always busy so be patient. The vibe gives 90's restaurant on the bayou, where you will run into someone you know that will ask about "hows ya mom an dem." Very old school restaurant but delicious seafood and Italian dishes.

    R & O Special Po' Boy

    R & O Restaurant is a pretty solid choice for a meal. The ambiance is bright and while it isn't fancy,it is overall pleasant. My server was friendly and helpful. I went with the R & O Special po' boy. It was a good choice. Next time, I think that I will try their veal parmigiana. I was there on a Sunday and the place was packed. People definitely know this is a great choice. I would definitely recommend here.

    The pizza and the muffuletta were the bomb. Our server was perfect. The ambiance is a bunch of tables. But when you see all these "Times-Picayune awards for #1 roast beef"- I didn't even think when "the roast beef tastes like Worcestershire sauce" was mentioned. I said you could eat the: bread, tomatoes, mayo, and lettuce and it would taste better than Dinty Moore with Worcestershire sauce. It seems to be a common method like these new burger places. Bandwagon and propaganda. The roast beef even makes "short stop" look good. Roast beef is exactly that-roasted beef.

    Fried mystery fish plate

    OMG, Where are these great reviews coming from? Holy cow my fried fish was awful. It only says "fish" on the menu, not catfish, etc. It certainly was a mystery fish. Mullet or some other garbage fish. The fries were blond and mushy. I simply could not eat it. Someone else had stuffed crabs and he knew they wouldnt be great but didnt expect not to be able to eat them. He said it was like salty carboard. Another had meatballs and said the sauce was too sweet. When the waitress came back and asked if wanted to go boxes and we all said no, she said are you sure? We didnt bother telling her why. I do not understand how they have survived so long. Its an old neighborhood so maybe the clientel are as well and do not notice. 2 stars for the waitress.

    Shrimp po' boy
    Kim H.

    Super casual restaurant only open 3 hours at time. Priced fair food. Portions are huge. We ordered the fries as the sandwiches are à la carte. But the onion rings looked amazing. The shrimp po' boy had a ton of shrimp and cooked perfect crispy. My mom has been on mission to find a good roast beef po' boy and 3 people recommended this place. She was not disappointed and raved about the sandwich all weekend I was there.

    Sandwich wiping

    Disgusting, I just saw the Instagram video of a waitress wiping a sandwich under her sweaty breast before delivering it to the customer because he asked before receiving it to change something

    Large Pizza - Pepperoni, onion, Italian Sausage and Salami

    Amazing place...old school NOLA Italian and Seafood restaurant...a locals place. Great old style Nola hand made "greasy pizza"...just the right way. Come often enough, be a regular, I feel like "Norm" here, haha

    When I tell you my stomach is on full full, chile I mean it! Went here with the office and we were extremely satisfied! You feel at home from the moment you walk in til when you leave. Wait staff and manager (David & Ashley) were the best! Y'all know I had to try the roast beef poboy that Mr.Chime Time from TikTok recommended and babeeeeeee it did not disappoint! That thang was full of flavor and the French bread was nice and toasty and just enough bread! The crab claws were piping hot and tasty! Onion rings made to perfection, no sauce needed! I will definitely be bringing the family!

    Never miss this place when we're in the city. Highlights are Italian salad, boiled shrimp, and R&O Special poboy.

    My wife and I are doing a pizza survey this summer just for fun. We decided to try a new pizza…read moreplace every couple of weeks to see which ones were worth all the fuss. Il Supremo stands as tall as the rest and maybe the best although we have not finished our survey. This location has a lot of fond memories for me. When I first moved to Old Metairie in the 1980s, I often dined at Delerno's which served amazing food at this location for over 40 years. It was an old style neighborhood Creole Italian and Seafood restaurant, examples of which can still be found throughout the metro area although the numbers are declining. The owner reportedly was one of the first New Orleans restaurant owners to include crawfish on his menu including a Festival of Crawfish featuring what we would essentially call a crawfish platter, crawfish prepared different ways. You have to love a guy like that. I was so sad when it closed. Anyway, back to the pizza. Il Supremo makes pizza as delicious as any pizza I've had in New York or San Francisco. The crust is thin and crunchy with what appears to be a cornmeal dusting. The crust is baked to perfection, brown and crispy with a few, but not too many, burned areas- just the way I like it. The cheese is excellent as is the sauce which has a bit of a kick but not too much to be overpowering. And the amount of sauce is perfect, not too much for those who like it stingy, and enough for the red gravy lovers of the New Orleans. We ordered the Wooster which was pepperoni, roasted garlic, shallots, and basil. It was outstanding. The garlic and shallots were a perfect complement to the sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. The basil frankly looked great but was not very evident, if at all, in the overall flavor profile. Perhaps it would be were it added after baking. The space itself is decent with only a few tables but crowded and noisy even at 5:30 on a Friday afternoon. It shares space with Super Witch ice cream, so if you want dessert, you don't have to go far. I will definitely be back for more pizza from Il Supremo. NB The website is a little heavy handed and full of rules and caveats including that pickup orders have to be ordered 24 hours in advance. I ordered the morning of my pickup and had no problem. I have no idea why you would have to order 24 hours in advance. Regardless, that is the rule. I guess you could call and ask if you're too late to order but, of course, they have no phone. Such is life in the new millenium. If you called Delerno's, Mrs. Delerno would answer.

    While the food was good, the service was frustratingly slow and disorganized. The staff could hand…read moreout pizzas quickly, but anything extra threw off their workflow, resulting in near missed items for multiple parties. They completely forgot our pasta, leaving us waiting 30 minutes while our pizza sat in the heating drawer--and they never called us up when it was ready. Being from Chicago, we've been pleasantly surprised by the decent pizza and pasta scene around Metairie and New Orleans, but will most likely not come back. Edit for date we visited was Sunday 7/5 around 6-6:30 pm

I came in for their summer special sandwich but quickly detoured to the Pick Two deal they have. I rarely see Pick Two deals so was happy that it wasn't just a lunch special. I chose the half-sandwich and slice of pepperoni/sausage Detroit-style pizza. Since I'd not been here before, I decided to pick up an order of the appetizer meatballs, as well. The suburbs of New Orleans is celebrated for its strong Italian roots and I wanted to see if the meatballs were authentic-local. My advice is if you're ordering to-go and you have over a 15-min commute, then don't get the Dream State sandwich. It's best eaten right away and I can respect that so the sandwich was a little over-steamed and limp. Having recently returned from a trip to Cleveland where I had Detroit-style pizza several times, I was happy to see the same ingredients on Reginelli's. Now when they say "double-proofed dough", they mean you're getting a thick slice of square pizza and you're going to love it. It had all the Detroit ingredients, too: marinara, Bourbon honey, Ezzo pepperoni, & crispy edges! I cut it in half and made two meals along with the meatballs. The meatballs were a standout for me. They used veal, pork & parmesan in the mix and served it with marinara, some ricotta cheese & fresh basil. This Sicilian neighbor used to make them like that with the two meats and the ricotta so my vote is authentic suburbs-style. Since I didn't order in advance, I had to wait about 15 minutes. I know they were making the pizza to order so was happy to wait. The serving staff made sure to check on me, let me know they were working on the order, and offered me something to drink while I waited. I'm planning to go back for a sit-down meal and try that Emilia sandwich soon.
