Liuzza's Restaurant & Bar Restaurant Review

: When Liuzza's Restaurant & Bar first opened its doors, Harry Truman had been President for two years. Not much has changed since then. The po' boy sandwiches still bulge with fried oysters or shrimp, to be savored with icy, frozen mugs of draft beer. Pasta laden with artichoke hearts and pepperoni and Theresa Liuzza's bread pudding also rate among the signatures. The main dining room is where neighborhood types cluster at Formica-topped tables, enjoying a wide range of casual New Orleans Italian-Creole and Southern standards, ranging from fried green tomatoes with shrimp rémoulade to something called the "Frenchuletta," a huge, rough-made muffuletta on French bread. The place is also known for its “fishbowl” size cold beer and an irresistible peanut butter pie for dessert. Don’t look for a wine list, but there’s a separate bar that also doubles as an area to wait for an available table.
