Assunta's - Slidell

We came here for my wife's birthday. Everyone was friendly and the place felt very inviting and comfortable. The best item we ordered was the appetizer, which was fried ravioli with lobster bits (a little overpriced). The food was really the main disappointment here. I should have realized this would be the case when I was served instant lemonade. I don't remember exactly what dishes we ordered, but I had some kind of seafood stuffing wrapped in pasta and my wife had a pork tenderloin which was the special that day. None of the flavors really stood out and none of was all that impressive. I couldn't tell what part of my dish was a crawfish, which was lobster, or which was shrimp. Very overpriced. I suppose it would be nice home cooking for some relatives. I don't drink, but I suppose if you're into that Assunta's might be a decent place to have some wine. We were dined here on 08/03/2023

Worth every penny. Large portions DID NOT come at the cost of quality ingredients and skilled preparation. Hands down best tiramisu I've had. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fettuccine with White Cream Sauce, Shrimp Pasta, Chicken Parmesan

The waitress didn't know the price of the specials and never went to find out. When I inquired about something, she told me it was on the menu and never answered my questions about it. After she placed our entrees on the table, I started to pray. While I had my head bowed, and I was saying the blessing audibly, she spoke over me to start asking other table guests if they wanted cheese! While my sister was actively eating from her plate, she was asked numerous times if she was done or if she needed her food to be boxed! This happened with her salad and with her entree. I felt they were just going through the motions. It was a special evening out, and the four of us still enjoyed ourselves, but the atmosphere was not hospitable. I felt as if I were an intrusion. The food was pricey, but, thankfully, it was good.

Food was delicious. Staff was great. Worth the drive for real Italian cuisine.

Our favorite Sunday breakfast place. Try her Escargot over Angel Hair Pasta. Superb!
