It’s not hard to find an Italian restaurant in New Orleans, but it can be tricky to find a good one. When the craving for carbs strikes, consider heading over to the Marigny where you’ll find Paladar 511, one of the best restaurants in New Orleans with a menu full of Italian-inspired dishes in an atmosphere that’ll leave a lasting impression on you.

Tucked away in the Marigny, Paladar 511 is a neighborhood favorite for anyone looking to indulge in some of the freshest seafood and Italian cuisine in New Orleans.

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you...

...the industrial, open-air eatery is warm and inviting. Tall ceilings, exposed brick, and windows that allow ample light to shine through make this one of the most unique spaces to dine in the city.

Homemade pastas and fresh gulf seafood make up the majority of the carefully curated menu…

...but the pizzas will certainly tempt you.

From lamb sausage with garlic confit and tzatzki to spicy tomato with mascarpone and wild arugula, these aren’t your everyday pizzas.

Fan favorites include squid ink spaghetti with Gulf shrimp and pappardelle with spicy pork sausage, pictured below.

It's the housemade pasta that really sends this dish from good to great.
