• American • Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

Booked 54 times today

Brunch on Saturday and Sunday is primarily first come, first served. If you do not see the time you want available online, please call us directly. When owner Johnny Carrabba set out on his next restaurant venture, he knew his vision would include the fond memories he had of his dear grandmother Grace Mandola. Grace, also known to the family as Mama, was a Sicilian woman born to immigrant parents in Louisiana. She had a flair for cooking, hospitality, and deep faith.She was known to make bread from scratch every Saturday for her legendary three-hour Sicilian Sunday lunches; and, her newly established family roots in Louisiana added interesting flavors to her home cooked meals. The entire Mandola family, including her five children and fourteen grandchildren, was regularly greeted in her home with smells of warm bread, well brewed sauces and homemade soups. It was around her table that her family learned the true meaning and value of relationships, friendships and good food.

From the entry to the exit everything was great. We were visited by the owner. Provided great recommendations by both the owner and the support staff. The food was great and temperature matched to the max. The whole establishment was beautiful. It matched my husband and I vibe. Nothing disappointed. I would actually visit again. Thank you so much Confessions for making my Taurus husband smile and enjoy his birthday. ☺️
