Specialty Italian Bistro

Specialty Italian Bistro is located on the Westbank of the Greater New Orleans area in Gretna, LA and this area has a lot of restaurants to choose from. They have done a great job updating and upgrading this location which used to be a Kentucky Fried Chicken. This New Orleans Italian Creole restaurant is noted for their great lunch and wine specials which makes it stand out from the many other restaurants in this area. They have a great selection of affordable lunch options in here and unlike many other spots their specials are not smaller portions as the serving size here remain VERY generous. They have a lot of traditional Italian options, sandwiches, calzones and salads along with decent...

Hadn't been here in quite a while so we decided to stop in for lunch. Started with the spinach and artichoke dip which came out piping hot. I love the puffy pita that it comes with and the dip was creamy and delicious. The spaghetti and meatballs were a perfect lunch portion size. The meatballs were very tasty and the marinara was good although a little sweet for my taste. Hubby got the eggplant Parmesan and said it was delicious. A nice little Italian gem on the Westbank! Everyone is short staffed so be patient!!

First time there but what we had was excellent. Spaghetti and Italian sausage, and lots of sauce cooked to perfection. My wife's Chicken Parmesan was just as good. We didn't leave room for the garlic cheese pizza that came with each meal, but we made just enough space for coconut bread pudding. That was a warm, square of goodness in a not overly sweet rum sauce covered in almond and coconut shavings. Very very good. Definitely going to return to this place.

Always enjoy the food here. Great Italian taste... the Chicken Italia recommends with the Italian salad with its excellent, homemade Italian dressing. The pizza is always on the point, no matter how. If you are a dessert, and I try to be the red velvet cake or the lemon cello cakes are worth saving space. Great service, nice staff. Clean place, very old school restaurant.

Good service, food, and reasonable prices. Service was nothing short of outstanding. They were personable, well spoken, friendly, and professional. They worked together to ensure we had a good dining experience. We had the large specialty pizza and it was great! The price was also good.
