" This was my first visit to Mosca's, and I will certainly be returning! The atmosphere was lively, and I loved the family-style dining. Our party shared several dishes, including pasta and shrimp which were both rich in flavor. The service was good, but it took a bit longer than expected since everything is made fresh. The highlight was definitely the Chicken La Grande; everyone raved about how tasty it was. A cash-only establishment, but definitely worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" When visiting New Orleans, Mosca's is a must. The appeal of a cash-only, old-school restaurant drew us in. Dishes like spaghetti and oysters Mosca showcased a delicious blend of Italian flavors with a unique Creole twist. The portions were generous, perfect for sharing among friends. Although the wait for food was longer than we expected, it allowed us to soak in the ambiance and enjoy a good bottle of wine. I appreciated the friendly service despite how busy they were. I’m counting the days until I can come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Mosca's is an adventure! The food is superb, and the vibe is right out of an old movie. From the crabmeat salad to the robust chicken dishes, this restaurant undoubtedly serves authentic Creole-Italian cuisine. Families gather around the table, enjoying large platters to share, which makes it a fun dining experience. The service was fast given how busy they were. I anticipate my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited so long to dine at Mosca's! What an experience! The atmosphere is cozy and bustling, filled with lively conversations and laughter. Our server was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The Oysters Mosca were a revelation—so flavorful! Each dish is made with fresh ingredients, and the portions are perfect for sharing. The cash-only policy is a bit outdated, but they do have an ATM on site. Overall, fantastic meal I’d happily repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Mosca’s was nothing short of extraordinary. The moment we entered, we were greeted warmly. The ambiance had a nostalgic feel to it, reminiscent of classic Italian trattorias. We all ordered family-style, and the food was just bursting with flavor. The chicken a la grande was beautifully cooked, and the garlic shrimp were to die for. I loved how everything was made fresh, and you could taste the love put into each dish. Service was attentive, with our server checking in regularly. I left feeling fuller than I could imagine and eager to return soon! " (*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*)
