Sam Petrossi and his wife opened Petrossi’s Restaurant in 1924. Their sons continued to run the restaurant after Sam passed away, until they sold the restaurant in 1985.
The next owner changed the name to Cafe Atchafalaya, putting a new spin on traditional New Orleans dishes.

When Rachael Jaffe and Tony Tocco purchased the restaurant in 2008, they shorted the name to "Atchafalaya" and introduced live music and cocktails and became a popular hang out for locals.
This trendy restaurant is pulling out all the stops when it comes to their menu.
