Barattini’s Bistreaux Gonzales, LA
Posted by ben on 06 Jan 2009 | Tagged as: Restaurants
I had a client take me out to eat at Barattini’s Bistreaux in Gonzales. It is located on 2507 S. Purpera Rd., in between Airline and Highway 30. This Italian restaurant’s motto is “Mangia e Statti Zitto!” (Shut up and eat!). That is exactly what happened. We placed our order at the counter, then sat and waited for our food to be prepared. I ordered the Eggplant Barattini which is “served over angel hair pasta with crawfish in a creole cream sauce”. My client ordered the Barattini’s House Salad that consisted of a “fresh blend of Romaine and Iceberg lettuce with artichoke hearts, red onion, ripe olives, and pepperoni tossed in [their] signature dressing. He also made it Supreme, which added salami, ham, additional pepperoni and lots of cheese.
The food took less than 10 minutes to come out and tasted really great. It was our first time there and we will definitely be back. I saw a few tables that ordered pizza that looked pretty good.

Tommy’s Fish House - Market and Restaurant
Posted by ben on 03 Dec 2008 | Tagged as: Restaurants
Since the shrimp season is about over, I planned on boiling shrimp for the Arkansas game (I just couldn’t eat anymore Thanksgiving leftovers). A few months ago, Tommy’s Fish House opened in Prairieville. It is located on Old Perkins by Wal-mart and On The Half Shell. Their prices are very reasonable and the seafood is always fresh and of high quality.
While I was waiting for them to package my shrimp, Chef John Folse walked in to get some of Tommy’s gumbo, saying how good it was. Next time you’re looking for fresh seafood or just a good place to enjoy a po-boy, give Tommy’s a call. Check out their menu below.
