First time experience tonight, unfortunately wasn’t great. Read all the great reviews and was excited. Waiter was outstanding for most of experience though. My lasagna was so spicy it was not edible. I did inquire if it was supposed to be so spicy and waiter advised no. He may have been busy, but didn’t offer to remedy even though I clearly didn’t touch the dish after one bite. My kids did love the Alfredo. We were there for my moms birthday and she did ask the hostess (bangs and glasses) tonight if she could snap a quick photo of the family and she said “no, she was too busy making calls” I realize taking a photo is not her job, but as the first/last person to make/leave impression on customers I would hope it would be someone slightly kind. Her attitude made everyone very uncomfortable, sadly don’t think we will give it a second try. Presentation of dishes were nice.

Listen here. To all yall 1/2 star reviewers… how could yall say anything negative about this restaurant!? Everyone contributed to my great experience. Wonderful service service, ambiance, delicious drinks and the best ribeye pasta I could ever ask for. The big time chef came n visited my table and I showered him with complements. The man knows what he is doing and every dish is crafted with art and care. If yall can’t wait for your food knowing that go somewhere else… like olive garden. Also shout out to the staff they work so hard. BONELLI’S is simply delicious. I’ll be back from new orleans soon enough.

Italy is on my bucket list, one day I hope to go. I’ve always wondered how true Italian food tastes until today, I think I have an idea now. Bonelli’s is an unassuming family owned Italian restaurant with amazing food. First off, please make a reservation, it’s a very small space.

This was the best pasta I’ve ever had, would 10/10 recommend. The service was great as well, and the food was a bit slow but you could tell it was made to order with how fresh everything was. I got the shrimp Diavolo and the shrimp was so fresh and cooked perfectly, although the medium spice is not as spicy as I had hoped (I’ll go up to hot next time). The portions are nicely sized and the bread+dip is a nice snack while waiting for the food.

The food was excellent. But the overall experience was a little mixed. We had reservations for 7:00. We didn’t get seated until after 7:30 and we didn’t get our food until closer to 9:00. Apparently this place is known for being very slow with bringing the food. Also the menu is a little confusing with the way they price the food. My friend dining with us ended up paying $40 for his meal because he was confused about the pricing. I was also a little confused about the pricing and had to get the waiter to explain to me how much my meal was going to cost before I ordered. However, if you know this ahead of time and don’t mind waiting, then you’ll have a great experience.

We made reservations for four on a Friday night. We were seated immediately. Our server, Amy was friendly, efficient and very knowledgable. Charming and small the restaurant is clean and well maintained. They also have a couple of outdoor areas, perfect for cooler times of the year. Inside is small and the smells from the kitchen are like a symphony for your nose.

Place is a gem! There are two buildings and we were lucky enough to get to eat in the old home now restaurant. Food was delicious and our service was exceptional. Plates are big enough to share remember this and try to fill up on the warm buttery bread but we were happy doing so. Enjoy!

I can’t say enough good things about this spot. My wife and I had heard great things, but it took us a while to make our way here. I’ve never had Italian food this good. My wife and I ordered an appetizer, 3 entrees, and dessert, and I swear all of them were equally foodgasmic. Meaning, your eyes roll up in your head when you take your first bite because it’s THAT good.
