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. These memories are realized when one walks into Johnny Carrabba’s new restaurant, Grace's.

This was our first time to Grace's and the food was great. We had a 5 pm reservation and was curious why we were put into the bar area rather than the main dining room. While the service and food were excellent the noise level was a bit much. Next, we visit I will ask for the main dining room

The food is always delicious and the frozen mimosas and lemon drops are my absolute fave! I accidentally left my to-go box on the table and my server was so awesome, she set it aside for me. I came back 10 mins later and was so grateful for her! I can't remember her name but the service was wonderful.

We had Jamal. He wasn’t as attentive. We had to pour our own mimosa from the frozen pitcher we purchased. We’d ask for condiments and would take Jamal longer than it should have. He didn’t offer us basics when dropping the food off. He also didn’t know the menu options.

I have loved this place for a long time but just when you think it can't get any better -- boom! The special is beef tips and rice! phenomenal! We wanted to go back the next day to have them again! We never leave this place without the amazing baked potato dip and I have to have the tortilla soup - best in town! This time we decided to try the chocolate toffee cake! OH MY!! It was out of this world! Needless to say we were blown away as usual! GO HERE!
