Sandros Trattoria

We have been a couple of times, and each time has been just wonderful. Last night we were there for a birthday party and we had a small room off the side of the kitchen which was just perfect for the 5 of us. The food was great, as was the service from the wait staff, Casey (sp?).

My wife and I stopped here for a late lunch this past weekend and loved the atmosphere in this place... reminded me of a rustic café I visited while in Trieste IT back in 2016 during my final deployment in the Navy.

Food was cooked well, although they could have put a bit more salt in the dish to give it some flavor. Salads were on point, and the toasted bread with olive oil and Italian seasoning was a great starter. Would eat here again, but as stated before, a bit more seasoning in the entrees wouldn't hurt.

Enjoyed a good meal at a local Italian place. We have been here before and always get good food and service. Try the Fruita Del Mar if you like seafood.

First time stopping by to check out this restaurant.
Heard many great things about this place; so we decided to stop by for lunch.

We were immediately greeted by a very friendly staff member and escorted to the bar area where there was seating.

As we walked by, we saw a packed house with people enjoying themselves very much.

As our server greeted us, they proceeded to ask us our drink order and if we wanted any appetizers.

Start off with two waters with lemon and the crostini bread they gave us. The bread was fantastic!

I decided to go for the house salad and daube panini and my wife got the caprese salad with the lentil soup.

Everything came out very fast.

I thoroughly enjoyed my panini and my house salad. Very fresh ingredients.

My wife enjoyed her caprese salad and her lentil soup.

We most definitely will be back here.
Looking forward to seeing what they offer for dinner course.

If you're out and about in Metairie please think about coming to this wonderful place, you won't regret it.
(Don't let the strip mall fool you-this place is a hidden gem)

Grazie mille Sandro's Trattoria

Thursday afternoon lunch at this hidden gem located in a strip mall area was a unique experience. The atmosphere screams fancy and so does the food and service. Our waiter, Scott was knowledgeable and attentive. I ordered the tomato basil soup and portobello mushroom panini and it was delicious! Best tomato basil I’ve ever eaten. Hubby ordered the chicken parmigiana which is always delicious. Do yourself a favor and request any other pasta except the angel hair that comes with it. All pastas come with a soup or salad, and the Caesar salad dressing is pretty darn bland and flavorless. If you are looking for good cocktails, this place is definitely NOT it. The margarita was sub par and my cosmo martini was served half full (not 1/4 rim). We actually left the terrible drinks on the table and didn’t even try to finish them. They were sadly also all out of tiramisu, which was a huge disappointment. Place is a bit on the pricier side with entrees ranging $15-$20. They do have some lunch specials, but not many. Overall it’s worth a try.

***edit** Y’all know I came back for the soup and tiramisu, which they actually had this time. The tiramisu was frozen like it needed to thaw out, making the cake really dry and the ice cream really hard. I was not happy. The soup however was delicious. Too bad they won’t share the recipe.
