The seafood au gratin will get me back in the building. Yummy yummy!!!!! I landed in the crusted chicken salad and it didn't disappoint. I did add salt to mines though. The young walking around and our waitress were both very attentive. My hubby and I recently went to Rome and I just love this place for that reason. read more

The food was amazing, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. It has that cozy mom-and-pop feel where the chef even comes out to chat, which makes the experience more personal. It's definitely one of my favorite spots in the area so far. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive, and we noticed a lot of families coming in from nearby. The place was clean, which stood out especially being so close to the water. read more

This place was pretty disappointing for me in terms of the food, but I've only been to eat here once, so it could have been an "off" day. They seemed to have a lot of regulars, so some people definitely love this restaurant. I would take my review with a grain of salt and try it yourself! One thing that made the dining experience good was Tracy, the waitress. She was fantastic! So very gracious and sweet. Loved her! I initially asked for the spicy shrimp fettuccine ($20). Honestly, this was awful. I don't often send back dishes, but this was not right, and I couldn't eat any of it. The creamy sauce was too heavy on some sort of weird cheese. I suspect a processed cheese like American (you know, like the type that's used in Kraft singles or Velvetta?) was used. I asked about it and it was not confirmed, but that's what it tasted like to me. Not to mention, it was too acidic and sour, I'm not sure where that came from. I felt bad about sending it back, but Tracy was really nice about it anyway. I asked to replace that fettuccine order with the Shrimp Mediterranean Pasta ($20). I did not enjoy this either, unfortunately, but I couldn't send this back too, that would just be too much as we were already late in the evening close to closing time. This was also much too acidic and sour, the canned tomatoes were overwhelming. The tomato was also weirdly sweet, so too much sugar as well trying to compensate for the acidity? They should have leaned heavier on fresh basil working into the red wine. If they had used fresh roasted cherry tomatoes or substituted for sun-dried tomatoes, it would have saved the dish. Unfortunately, they skimped on the shrimp too as there was only five pieces for the entire plate, which was sad because the shrimp was both cooked and seasoned well. For $20, I think we could have gotten more than 5 shrimps, I mean, really? The chicken breast parmesan ($15) was okay. The chicken could have been crispier. I'm sure it was crispy when it came out of the fryer, but it had been sitting in the red sauce of the pasta for too long and it had already lost the crispiness by the time it reached our table. The tomato red sauce was okay, but again, it was a bit too acidic and sour for us. The fried eggplant ($10) was great. It was perfect with marinara sauce. This didn't have the same problem with acidity! We also tried a cup of the seafood gumbo ($7). It had a dark roux, and it was good, but nothing to write home about. Again, give this restaurant a shot for yourself! One of my complaints was the sauces here ran too heavy on the acidity and tasted too sour for me. If you like a more sour dish, this place might be for you! read more

The good: service was very kind, quick to take our order and attentive. The place is your run of the mill Italian restaurant, decor a little more upscale and less chaotic which is nice. The bad: the food was "meh." The meatballs tasted over -rolled, very mushy texture, and not flavorful. The sauce was basic and forgettable. We shared the stuffed mushrooms and sadly they were also very mid. My friends shrimp alfredo was okay. I don't think they're terrible but also won't be back. In a competitive area like New Orleans, you just gotta be able to do the basics top tier. read more

Had the breaded chicken as mozz with onion rings and French onion soup..so good! Order the eggplant shrimp and tomato soup to go. It was house soup. Rather bland. I expected eggplant but had more shrimp. I was so tired after Endymion. I was on my way home so hungry and was like let me stop here the chicken poboy is good. I had no cash at the parade. I was in need of food. But I was so tired I could barely eat. So I ate what I could for the rest to go.the bartender Jackie saw how tired I was. I so appreciated that.sometimes all a girl needs is food and understanding.Over all service and food was well I felt at home. I hadn't felt that way since my grandmother died..she was Italian. Spoke it. Unfortunately never taught any of her kids or grandchildren the language....thanks for the food Chef! read more

Two Tony's, owned and operated by the Montalbano family, has been in business since 1987 and specializes in Creole Italian and fresh Local seafood dishes. Their original location was in the historic French Quarter, where they catered to the locals who lived and worked in the Quarter. The restaurant eventually moved to its second location in Bucktown in 1993 and transformed from a locals restaurant to a "full-service" one that offered expanded seating and catered more to families. In 2011, with new flood control pumps being built near the restaurant, the Montalbano's moved less than a 1/4 mile east to West End. This newest location added seating for approximately 45 additional patrons in the dining room and a private room for parties up to 40 guests. The full-service bar can accommodate 22 people and features a very well-rounded wine list. The menu includes fine Italian dishes, fresh gulf seafood prepared to your specifications, and great soups, salads, and appetizers. On our most recent visit, I had a cup of Chicken and Andouille gumbo (spicy) for an appetizer. It features a very dark Cajun style roux with file and I opted for no rice in an effort to control my carbs. Kudos to the staff for filling my cup even though I skipped the rice. For my entrée, I got the Seafood salad, which consisted of lump crabmeat, boiled Gulf shrimp, mixed field greens, red onions, tomato, egg & house made vinaigrette. The salad was very filling, the chunks of crabmeat were big and plentiful and the house made dressing was excellent. My wife hit a home run when she ordered the Veal Montalbano, made from paneed veal topped with mozzarella cheese with a creole mushroom meuniere sauce. This veal was fork tender and the serving size was more then generous. (So glad she gave me a full medallion for sampling). I highly recommend this dish. Our server was good to go and I was glad to see they were spacing the tables in order to keep the patrons socially distanced. We had a great time here and will definitely be back. read more

I have lived in NOLA for 22 years and somehow never made it here until yesterday. What a mistake that was! The menu is huge, just about any Italian dish you could think of is on it. We started with the onion rings which may have been the best I have ever had. Crispy, not greasy at all, and so fresh tasting. The sauce that came with them was so delicious I wanted to eat it with a spoon! I had the plain fettuccine Alfredo as an entree, but there was nothing plain about it. Flavorful and rich, pasta perfectly Al dente. I did have to add a lot of pepper to it, but that is a personal preference, and they provide a pepper grinder at the table. My friend had his favorite which is the shrimp and crawfish pasta. The martinis we had were also great. Too full for dessert, but I hope to try it when I return! read more

Well that's Two no's for me! Won't be two visits either. Wanted to see if their spaghetti is better than my fav place in Metarie and most def not even close. Be prepared to add seasoning to it and the meatballs were just bad, mushy and bready and lack flavor. The noodles were done fine. The eggplant parm was just ok as well. The fried artichoke hearts were ok but i think it be better with a different sauce. The mushrooms were decent but little fishy which was odd. Service was slow. read more

The West End is a New Orleans neighborhood just south of Lake Pontchartrain. Seafood and boating are big influences here, and I saw quite a few suburban looking single-family houses and some condominium complexes as we drove around. No doubt, Two Tony's is a favorite of the nearby residents. It most definitely has a "hometown feel", the bar and lounge are very welcoming, and the food is both very good and very fairly priced. I was visiting the local chapter of a professional organization I belong to and attended their monthly dinner meeting at Two Tony's. They did a wonderful job feeding our party of 30. We had a group choice of seven meals (!) and the dinners were cooked to order. The choices were Chicken Parmesan, Eggplant Parmesan, Manicotti, Shrimp Fettucine, Grilled Chicken Salad, Spaghetti and Meatballs, and a Catfish Poboy. I went for the Poboy (fried thin-cut catfish in seasoned corn flour breading - $8.95) "fully dressed" which I learned means with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo) for a mere $0.75 surcharge. It was an enormous sandwich on what seemed like half a loaf of Italian bread with plenty of fish fillets and the fully dressed add-ons. It was excellent! The bread, the fillets, the dressings -stellar. It was nice seeing a different kind of New Orleans restaurant -a place the locals enjoy and where tourists (except for us) were pretty scarce. read more

This is an old school New Orleans Creole Italian place that  was in Bucktown for years (and the Quarter before that) and had to relocate to the West End due to the Corps of Engineers work on our levee system after Hurricane Katrina.  Their new location is a lot nicer with better space than their old cramped space so the move has been a blessing for them.  I've only eaten lunch here as dinner often gets really crowded and every time I've attempted dinner there has been a long wait. They have a good selection of local seafood dishes and po'boys along with the usual Italian options.  The seafood gumbo is ok while they sometimes are a bit stingy with the red gravy on some of the pasta dishes.  The service has always been friendly and efficient at keeping my drink filled. They have a pretty decent lasagna here and the prices are reasonable.  I rarely ate here when they were in Bucktown because R&O's was right across the street and really the only time I ended up at Two Tony's was when the line was too long at R&O's.  This is still a good place to grab some decent Italian for lunch and it might be nice for dinner too but I've yet to experience their dinner menu as the wait has been too long every time I've attempted it. Overall this is a decent spot to eat some New Orleans Creole Italian food and seafood. My video review of Two Tony's is here: https://youtu.be/e0wI2milvzc read more

I love this restaurant. My family and I have been coming here since it opened and we will continue to. The fact that Tony sometimes is sitting in the bar area to greet people is something truly special. The family atmosphere and the kids running around really makes the experience that much more enjoyable. The only thing I have to say is that my shrimp last night were the smallest I've ever seen them. It may be the fact that in the past I've been spoiled with extremely large shrimp? Maybe it's a supplier issue? Not sure. Still love Two Tony's! read more

We have been enjoying the lakefront area of NOLA. We found this Italian restaurant and so happy we did! I saw naked French onion soup on the menu & needed to try it.

After a lot of back and forth on deciding where to go eat, my mom recommended that we check out Two Tony's. I had been in this building many years ago when it was a different restaurant. I have a fond memory of watching a 7 overtime game with my grandfather when I had been in this building before. So it was fun to reminisce that experience. The first take away I had when we first got there was that it was good for kids. They had high chairs readily available and a separate kids menu that we could quickly decide on... which is very handy when you have two hungry two year olds. The adults at the table had eaten lunch pretty late in the day so none of us were particularly hungry. So we decided to get a few appetizers to split and each of us get our own soup. I went with the baked French Onion soup because it is one of my favorites and I don't typically see it on a lot of menus. As for the appetizers, we got the stuffed mushrooms, the onion rings and the calamari. All of them were fantastic in their own way. The mushrooms were full of delicious crab meat and the fried items were extremely fresh and not over battered. I look forward to a trip to Two Tony's when I am much hungrier to explore the entree side of things. read more

This is one of those places that I've passed dozens of times, over the years, and always wondered about. When the opportunity presented itself to eat here, I was excited. This is a pretty old school type of place and the restaurant definitely has that "my grandparents probably used to be regulars here" type of feel. Strangely enough, the restaurant wasn't as packed as the full parking lot would suggest, when I visited. I decided to start with the French onion soup and Caesar side salad and I got the lasagna as my entree. French onion soup- This was great! I'm a huge fan of FOS and their version is really good. It came out piping hot and topped with a generous serving of melted cheese. It was a great start to the meal. Caesar salad- This was a pretty basic, no-frills Caesar salad, and that's okay. The lettuce was crispy and good and I thought the dressing was nice without being too tart, as some other Caesar dressings tend to be. Lasagna- Okay, so I hadn't had lasagna in years, so when I saw it on the menu I was quick to order it. Their version comes with Italian sausage, ground beef, marinara and a five cheese blend all served in what is basically a skillet. The portion is huge and easily big enough for two people, especially if you get apps. I really liked it, but I had one complaint- TOO MUCH marinara. I like marinara as much as the next person, but the lasagna was drowned in it and I actually didn't taste much else other than the sauce. I saw the meat and cheese, but there was a lot of tomato happening here. If I go back, I would definitely ask them not to dump all of the marinara on top and maybe give it to me on the side. Other than that, I loved it and I would totally recommend it- sauce on the side is an easy enough fix. The staff was friendly and had everything out in a timely manner, although I think my lasagna did take a little longer than an average entree would take, but it was worth it. read more

I was pleasantly surprised that the fried seafood platter was on par with the best seafood restaurants in New Orleans. The oysters, shrimp & fish were perfectly cooked!
