The Little Village on Airline near the Kleinpeter sub-station is really good. The pre-meal bread alone is worth the trip.

Monjunis'.

Came here to say this. Their red sauces are a bit on the sweet side, but otherwise pretty good.

Gino's on Bennington is probably the best Italian in BR. I haven't personally eaten there in quite a while, but used to go frequently. I hear it is still good.

I am not a fan of Monjuni's-has not been very good in my opinion, but some people seem to really like it.

There are a couple of Italian deli's that are good for muffs and such--not a great restaurant atmosphere, but authentic italian. Anthony's on Florida Blvd, and Pocarella's on Coursey.

Deguilio brothers is one of the little known ones with exceptional food and atmosphere.

Two places and both of them are not cheap.

This place is awesome, but very small so get there early.

Then as mentioned before there is Little Village. The downtown location has the best atmosphere for a date, but both offer their great food. Remember to try some of the Village Bread.

+1 for Monjouni's and Pocorello's.

Pinetta's is good. It is a little hole-in the wall place but very authentic European. Only downside is that portions are relatively small (compared to what most American restaurants serve). Their veal scallopini has a very unique and delicious red sauce.

However, their best thing is the German dish, Schnitzel Holstein. It is a breaded veal cutlet with a fried egg and two anchovies on top, with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Mix it all together and have a Warstiner Dunkel with it.

if you ever come to new orleans, try vincent's. its on st charles almost to carrollton. I ate there a while back and it was hands down the best Italian I have ever had.

I forgot about degiulios--haven't been there in years. But they should be on your top two choices.

Funny how places you used to go to often, just over time patterns change.

DeAngelos on Jefferson who so near my house that we always go there for Italian. It's okay, but I wouldn't recommend it as great for someone from out of town.

Anthony's has an AWESOME meataballa sammich!!! They only use one meataballa, but it's the size of a softball.
