Best Italian Restaurants in Louisiana and Texas
SHREVEPORT, LA - Italian food is so comforting. It's hard to choose, but what Italian restaurant is the best in Louisiana and Texas?
It probably depends on your taste. I know I get food cravings and often I want a great Italian meal. Pasta is just so comforting. There's nothing like a big plate of pasta to give you a pick me up. You might need a nap after that big meal, though.
What's Your Favorite Italian Dish?
I would have to say a good meatball is amazing. I also love homemade ravioli. But you can't go wrong with fettuccine alfredo or chicken parmesan. Another great part of a spectacular Italian restaurant will be the great selection of wines to pair with your delicious meal.

Vincent’s Italian Cuisine in New Orleans
loveFOOD says:
Vincent’s is without a doubt one of the best Italian restaurants in Louisiana, having been nominated numerous times by readers of local publications. It was opened in 1989 by a New Orleanian named Vincent Catalanotto who grew up in a Sicilian family. The menu is quite meat-heavy with dishes such as lamb chops with marinated vegetables and osso buco.
