About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Founded in 1913, this family-run, Italian-Creole restaurant is located in uptown New Orleans. It is famous for creating barbecued shrimp.

This neighborhood restaurant is vintage New Orleans, from the service to the decor. The oyster bar is always manned by a friendly shucker. The oysters are fresh, salty, and delicious.

The old time oyster bar and cocktail bar offers raw oysters on the half shell and all types of cocktails. We offer fine seafood, Italian specialties, and delicious steaks.

In 2023, Dickie Brennan & Co. welcomed Pascal's Manale into their restaurant family.

    Menu seems dated, food was average. Seems like everything needs an update. Salad was mostly floppy lettuce and some canned artichokes and olives. Gumbo was watery and arrived with no sausage or chicken. Mozzarella app was super salty and the ratio of cheese to breading was too high so it was soft and not pleasing to eat. Veal piccata had two small pieces of veal and sauce was disappointingly bland, and pasta with meatballs was fine but meatballs were dry. Server was very pleasant and dishes came out quickly.

    All of the diners seemed to be located in one room to make service more efficient, but it still wasn’t great. The waiters and staff were working, but not a lot of management seemed to be present in the room where we were, which led to poor water service, poor bread service and long waits for the check. The food was fine, but probably not good enough to make us come back for the price point, given the service deficiencies.

    I love this gem of a restaurant. It’s a classic New Orleans spot making delicious traditional dishes. Everyone should go here for some raw oysters and their iconic bbq shrimp-best not wear a white shirt.

    Nice menu that failed to perform. Food was cooked well but did not deliver on flavour and had watery sauces. The spinach and asparagus sides were good. The fish and veal were well cooked. The pasta was over cooked. The sauces were watery and bland. Our meal could have been so much better with little extra effort.

    The food was horrible. Meatballs were tough and dry. Pasta was universally overcooked. Mushrooms in the fra Diavolo and Bordelaise were slimy and gross. Veal was hammered. Some of the worst Italian food ever.
