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.

First time back since the pandemic. Food was ok but not as good as we remembered. The menu feels kind of dated. Still like the atmosphere and laid back feel but with excellent service.

The food was extremely salty. My party had a variety of dishes yet all were very, very salty. I advised the manager only to be told "we tend to really seaon our food here." I/we know the difference between well seasoned and too much salt! I was very disappointed in the taste and the manager's response.

The food here is good but my only complaint is that it is too salty. I had the aunt Margaret Anne’s roasted chicken with macaroni and cheese and broccolini and all of it was tasty but way too salty. My recommendation would be to cut down on the salt used in the kitchen.

We had the most lovely time visiting with friends and enjoy the most wonderful lunch. We ordered the Beet Salad , Steak Salad and we shared an order of Brussels.. The corn bread that they placed on the table was a treat, so yummy! The coffee and cappuccino was perfect too, but we left. I room for dessert On top of our delicious lunch, our waiter was the kindest man, never rushed us and shared all his favorites for recommendations! You can’t go wrong here! Enjoy!

The food was amazing, however next to us there was an extremely loud family. The servers kept coming by and they made it worst. It tainted my experience, however the moment they left it was better. It would have been nice for management to acknowledge the situation and ask for the family to lower their volume.
