Mosca’s was opened in 1946 by Provino Mosca, who came to America from Italy in 1913. After originally settling in Chicago and opening up his own restaurant in the Windy City, he visited New Orleans and quickly fell in love with the Big Easy. After a few years, he decided to relocate his business and founded a charming little restaurant on the West Bank. The exterior may look unassuming, but we promise you, the food will make your taste buds explode.
Not much has changed in the 72 years since Provino opened the doors to this timeless restaurant.
