" A family tradition for years, Mosca’s never fails to impress. The dining experience is friendly and chaotic in the best way possible. Their seafood pasta was incredibly fresh, and the garlic levels were just right! Portion sizes were generous, ensuring you leave feeling satisfied. The decor gives you that old-school mafia vibe, making it feel authentic and rich in history. Mosca's is perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to be honest, Mosca's did not meet my rather high expectations after hearing so much about it. The wait was long, and while the food was good, it wasn't the magical experience I had hoped for. The restaurant's layout felt cramped, and I would anticipate that larger groups could have a more enjoyable experience. I’d consider trying again, but it wasn’t the ‘wow’ I was looking for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, dining at Mosca's was a trip worth every mile! This isn't just another Italian restaurant; it's a part of New Orleans' rich history, complete with authentic dishes that taste like they came from an Italian grandmother's kitchen. Our favorites included the savory shrimp Mosca and perfectly cooked chicken cacciatore, both laden with flavor and history. The warm and friendly staff made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our last visit to Mosca's was a rollercoaster. The food was delicious—especially everything we ordered with garlic, but we did have a long wait for our drinks to come out. The atmosphere was lively, reminiscent of family gatherings, but I felt our server could have checked on us a little more often. Overall, it’s a good place for a cozy dinner with large portions but prepare for some wait times! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated a birthday here with friends. Although the restaurant had a cozy and slightly chaotic atmosphere, our server was fantastic and made the night special. The highlight was definitely the chicken cacciatore; I believe it might be the best I’ve ever had! Each course felt lovingly homemade, perhaps even straight from an Italian grandmother’s kitchen. While we enjoyed everything, the portions were on the larger side, and we ended up taking some home for later. I can't recommend Mosca's enough—just remember to book ahead! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, I had heard so many great things about Mosca's, but my visit was just okay. The service was friendly, but it was very overwhelming to have multiple servers coming to our table. The food was average, lacking depth of flavor. I felt that the hype may not have aligned with my expectations. I might return to give it another chance, but I wasn't impressed initially. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful gem Mosca’s is! The food is simply fabulous—so full of flavor. The shrimp and chicken are flavorful and cooked to perfection! The family-style serving enhances the enjoyment as you can share different dishes with everyone. The staff was friendly and attentive, even on a busy night. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by; you definitely won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)
