I visited here for the first time this past Friday evening. There is onsite parking which is convenient. Although it was quite busy, we were able to be seated without a wait. The staff were helpful and showed good service. I ordered a glass of rose. It was ok. I ordered the mussels as an appetizer and I enjoyed them. I ordered the Salsa Rossa as my main dish with some tomato basil soup. The tomato basil soup was tasty. The pasta sauce was a bit bland. I was hoping for more flavor but it still tasted fine. I ordered the white chocolate bread pudding for dessert and I thought it was good. It was not too sweet which is how I prefer it. Overall, I had a good experience here and I would return. read more

Food is great, service could be improved so we don't have to endure the "4 karens" that want to have a reunion in the middle of the restaurant coughing on everyone.... Finally-a place that doesn't pull out a spray bottle to clean tables. read more

Dined here for dinner after shopping in the plaza. The dining room is dim, tables well spaced and they allow reservations. What I wanted wasn't on the menu but the waitress worked it out with the chef to make it happen. The pesto chicken Alfredo was good and I'll be back to try the meatballs. read more

Let me say I was very impressed with the speed food was delivered after we ordered. As for the taste it was good not great. But of course it was a lunch menu so that's probably why. I'll be back to try more options. read more

Sandro's Trattoria - Bread Before Meal - Italian Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

My husband and I came in for a date night and loved everything we got. We ordered egg plant sticks for an appetizer and they were crunchy with a good red sauce. We split the Daube and we both thought it was delicious, great flavor and super tender meat. It came with a Caesar salad that was pretty dry, it definitely needed more dressing. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and it was light and fluffy with a good rich flavor. I also ordered an aperol spritz and it was good, a little bitter but still good. Service was quick and she was very sweet. read more

The food is wonderful. Italian food that makes you think you are actually in Italy. Friendly, helpful service.

Had lunch today for the first time in a very long time. It was fantastic. I had panned chicken and pasta Alfredo. My friend had panned chicken and grilled vegetables. The grilled vegetables were DELICIOUS. When I go back I think I could make a meal on the grilled vegetables!!!! read more

We stopped in here after a long day of traveling and it really helped us reset. Our server was Katie and she was super friendly. She was very quick with drink refills and very helpful in general. I got the fettuccine sautéd in brown butter with parmesan, it was amazing. I wish I had a bigger stomach to eat as much food as I was given. The pasta came with soup or salad and I got the tomato soup. I could drink that soup anytime of the day but especially after a long day it was nice. The bread was also elevated, it was so warm and refreshing. The vibe was good, it wasn't too loud and they were playing good music. Overall it was a great experience and I would come back again. read more

The place is a nightmare. I brought my mother to this upper class restaurant and the maitre' d kept bringing salty bread then salty meatballs and the lasanga was bitter and no taste. I told the waitress and the head waited this and they did nothing. The service was horrible and they played extremely loud music I didn't want to hear. The ambiance was like for a creepy Halloween party. I don't advise anyone go to this restaurant it's like a bad trip that wouldn't end and was extremely expensive. I brought my mother to this mess for her birthday in February. I was left really embarrassed. They didn't explain just said get out and don't come back. read more

The food is always incredible and I've never had anything but great service. It doesn't look like much from the outside but what they make in that kitchen is extraordinary! read more

I had never been to an Italian restaurant cause I'm not a big pasta guy, but I loved this place. The veal parm was amazing and I loved the Ceasar salad. The pistachio gelato was some of the best ice cream I've ever had too. The interior was really cozy and the service was great as well. Fair prices too. read more

Absolutely the best service, delicious food and wonderful Chocolate Mousse Cake. Highly recommend.

Early Saturday dinner. Few patrons, but got there JUST before 2 large parties. Quiet surroundings, even with the parties, and ample space between tables. Scott was our server, and he was on point with everything. In addition, the bartender checked on us, and another server grabbed finished plates off the table as well. LOVE the teamwork. (Having been in the service industry, I know this can be a saving grace for a restaurant.) Bread was brought to the table, and between the tasty grilled panini style bread and the olive oil dip placed on the table, I had to make myself say no when asked if we wanted more. I could have filled up on just the bread. Salads with our meals came with house dressing which was light, not oily, and had chunks of olives. Yum! Husband went with the Chicken Marsala, which had the most delightful white wine, lemon, caper and butter sauce, and the chicken was SUPER tender. In fact, my husband asked if I could make it at home, and in spite of being a great cook, I said, "Doubtful. There's something about it." Leftovers reheated beautifully. My Beef Bushaloni was to die for! The beef was tender, which was my only hesitation about ordering it, and the stuffing of prosciutto, spinach, artichoke hearts and breadcrumbs was a perfect complement and didn't overwhelm the beef. It was served with a side of angel hair, and all was covered/served with the most delightful marinara that wasn't a bright red, which made me think it maybe had a reduction of some sort included; it was stronger than a marinara and something I wish they would bottle. My husband did have a margarita, which at $12 kind of made my eyebrows shoot up, but he said it was good, so who am I to deny him? :) Definitely still on our favorite Italian list! read more

All I can say is incredible! I got the Ossa Bucco and it was fabulous. My wife got the chicken parmigiana and it was crispy and delicious. The red gravy was sweet and extremely delicious. This place is most definitely worth the trip. Loved it!!! read more

Excellent service and food. Came here on a whim and glad we did. Charming inside. It may have taken the place as my favorite Italian spot in Metairie/Kenner. read more

This was our first time and we are amazed at howgreat it is. The service is fantastic- friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Casey was our main server but three other servers were part of the team. All were top notch. The food was excellent with reasonably priced large servings. We shared the oyster appetizer, as well as the Osso Bucco and Fruta Del Mar. We will be coming back to sample more of the menu. read more

They have the best red sauce.Food is always great and service is excellent. We go here often.

Clean restaurant with fast friendly service. Food is decent and it's served hot. You won't be mad you tried it but you also probably won't run out to tell your friends to try it either. read more

Primo in every way. I appreciate how authentic Italian it is. Fresh cuisine with best ingredients. A true trattoria and impeccable service. A must-visit. read more

If you're looking for a meal that will make your taste buds break into a standing ovation, look no further. Let's start with the eggplant lasagna; layers of rich, cheesy goodness with perfectly seasoned eggplant that tastes like it had a spa day before getting to your plate. It's like a cozy blanket for your soul. Then there's the beef bushaloni which sounds like the kind of thing you'd eat while reclining in a leather chair with a glass of wine and contemplating the meaning of life; rich, tender beef wrapped up in a symphony of flavors that'll have you wishing you had two stomachs--one for each bite. Five stars, two thumbs up and a standing ovation for the overall experience. read more

Reliable , dependable, the food is remarkable! We had a store next to them for maybe 15 years ! No negative words to be said great place to try the food ! Lisa and Vinnie read more

Only ordered take out so far. Ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken but when I got home they forgot the chicken and the soup it was supposed to come with. The Alfredo was still good. The staff was really nice when I picked up. The restaurant itself was cute and small. A good place for an Italian date. read more

Great Italian restaurant and appetizers! Super Italian meatballs! Specials are superb! Service is excellent and fast and friendly! .... Great familiy restsurant read more

We had a bear perfect lunch at Sandros. The atmosphere is so charming and the service was excellent. Between three of us we ordered- chicken piccata with salad, baked oysters with garlic butter pasta and tomato soup, fettuccini with brown butter and fried shrimp and salad and tiramisu. The salad is interesting and has a unique combo of ingredients. The soup was smooth and deliciously balanced. All of the pastas were wonderful, the least favorite was the brown butter fettuccini (the least flavorful). The garlic butter pasta with tomato and spinach is phenomenal! The main complaint is that they didn't clean the shrimp. The tiramisu is excellent. read more

As long as Sandro's Trattoria has been around I've only recently eaten here for the first time, and I must say I've been missing out. The inside of the restaurant is like an Italian getaway and you can forget you're still in Metairie for just a little while. I love that about the restaurant, and that the servers are so attentive to details. We tried a couple of different dishes which included the meatballs and veal piccata both of which were excellent. I'm excited to visit again and try other menu items because I imagine they are very good as well, and I want to find out. If you're looking for a little getaway to forget the world outside for a short time and enjoy a lovely meal this is the spot for you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! read more

This is our spot for special family dinners and tonight was wonderful as always. Want to give a six star of excellence review to the staff tonight. especially to Katie and Mikey who gracefully helped me after I spilled my to go dinner on the floor. This place never disappoints and there is something new to love every time! read more

Fantastic! You can't imagine it, but this is a great Italian restaurant tucked away into a shopping center. The wife and I found this place by accident and have loved it ever since. The food is delicious! The service is top notch and it really feels like you are welcomed as family. It is our go to destination for Italian! read more

It's not often this happens, but it was a bad experience overall and will never be back. The pasta seemed as if it was cooked yesterday and was just heated up in a pan with extra oil. Very disappointing considering that this was suppose to be an authentic Italian restaurant. The service was not great either. Not only were the staff rude, but come to find out they didn't like the fact that two friend in our party were a same sex couple. It's laughable that this is still a thing to frown upon in 2024. The ambiance was alright, but a very small place. Unfortunately, this place is just another example of why Metairie needs to catch up with the real world. read more

Introduced our cousin to this gem. It was totally on point as always. If you haven't been lately, they expanded and the new space is, well, spacious. Staff is always very friendly and approachable and the food is always superb. Highly recommend! read more

The restaurant is rather crowded and seems a little dingy. There are few vegetarian options, and the majority of them included peppers which give me indigestion and the kitchen could not alter the recipe to exclude the peppers. The grilled mushroom and grilled eggplant appetizers were alright, but they pretty much tasted like oil. They were very greasy and rather high priced for the product. Also the pasta sauce is not vegetarian, so even traditionally vegetarian options, such as eggplant Parmesan, were not an option. The meat eaters with me seemed to enjoy the food, but personally I didn't find the foods available for me to eat to be well seasoned. I settled in an entree of pasta with garlic butter, spinach, and tomatoes. A bit disappointing to not be able to have other options. The service was alright. read more

Great service. We got the Mussels and the veal. Food was delicious. Will definitely go back.

Delicious! Love this little secret Metairie restaurant! Our waitress, Emily, was amazing! It was rather busy on a Saturday night at 6pm! We were served with toasted bread and water immediately as we sat down and everyone was so accommodating with me and my baby. We ordered the fried eggplant which was delicious and then I got the panne chicken with fettuccine Alfredo and my mom ordered the chicken parmigiana. Everything was cooked to perfection. My baby was in awe over the waitress. He was totally in love and she came and held him for me while I packed our to go food! So funny! I wish she could babysit!! Well definitely need to come back! read more

Great food, great service and great prices. Love it, we go as often as we can. Once you discover it you cannot resist it.

Perhaps this place was good back in the day, but it is certainly not anymore. I was gravely disappointed with the food. 1st thing 1st, the service was very kind and polite. The ambiance felt like an old school Italian restaurant - very cute and homey. Now, on to the most important part, I tried the con salsa rossa with meatballs (essentially, spaghetti and meatballs), along with a house salad and bread. I wanted to try a rather simple meal to determine if I would return to try other items. I will NOT be returning. The spaghetti sauce was NOT homemade. It tasted like jarred spaghetti sauce, and not the good kind. It had absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. The meatballs were homemade. I identified bell peppers and onions in them. However, the jarred sauce was poured all over them and the angel hair pasta. What a sad turn of events. The house salad was unique, at best. Not my cup of tea. The bread, garlic bread, oily bread...not sure what to call it. It was drenched in oil. Don't quite know what to make of it. Wasn't good at all. Overall disappointing. read more

The food is outstanding. We had mussels, bushaloni and veal marsala. The service is great and the new addition with bar seating was fun.
