Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Central Business District

Jack was an incredible server! I am a New Orleans native visiting the northshore. Atmosphere was on point. Food incredible. But the star of the show was Liam our back waiter! Promote this man immediately, his charisma and ability to deliver his own amazing personality to everyone at the table was impeccable. 10/10 would recommend.

I love the pesto pistachio pasta every time……………..

We celebrated with friends and had a great time at Tana. But were sorry to see they no longer offer valet parking. It was a busy night but our wait staff was good and attentive and Nick was excellent! The whole place was full so the noise level was high and conversation a bit difficult between us but we really enjoyed the overall vibe. Two of us loved the appetizer of perfectly done Oysters Bordelaise and wanted to lick the plates! And we also had the delicious Gulf Shrimp Paccheri which was a delight with its perfectly cooked shrimp and handmade pasta in a not too overpowering complex red sauce. However, the Braised Meatballs were nothing special and the Creamy Italian Salad was made from a whole head of butter lettuce dressed well but tasted like there was fennel in it which made for an odd taste. Then two had the Four Cheese Ravioli with truffle cream which was VERY rich but rather mediocre.The home-made pasta was very large and well done but very little taste of the truffle. We were all too satiated for dessert but will definitely be back again even if we have to drive out to Metairie for the top-notch service and food.

The entire experience exceeded our expectations!!! Jamie’s knowledge of the wine and food was superb and he guided us on a culinary journey.

This was our first visit. The overall experience was good but was disappointed that the hostess counted locate our reservation. After a couple of minutes and several questions, she did seat us anyway. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was great. The salad dressing was a little on the tart side but that is simply personal taste. The entrees were very flavorful, prepared as ordered and served promptly. Dining room noice level was low, even as the room filled. Overall, will return and recommend to others.
