New Orleans may be known for Creole and Cajun cuisine, but we also have several restaurants peppered around the city that are serving up some mouthwatering Italian food. For authentic Italian cuisine, this intimate restaurant in New Orleans is an absolute must. Let’s check it out.
Irene’s has been serving some of the most incredible Italian cuisine in New Orleans since they opened in 1993.
For many New Orleanians, a trip to Irene’s meant walking through that iconic cypress arched door on St. Philip Street. Last year they made the move to a larger space on Bienville Street, and if you haven’t been to their new location, you’re in for a treat.
The new restaurant captures the intimate and nostalgic atmosphere that kept New Orleanians returning to the St. Philip Street location for so many years while adding an intimate and comfortable vibe that you’re sure to love.
