Reviews for Assunta's in Slidell, LA
I ordered the lasagna. It was fantastic in my option. The sauce was a little sweeter, which I like and there were several meats... in it. The wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Cozy atmosphere. Can be a romantic outing or somewhere you can take thefamily. They do have child sized portions and a price that reflects the size. Read more
Finally tried this place after years driving by it and WOW!! The food is right up there with the very best Italian restaurants... I've ever been to. But the prices were more reasonable than those other places. I got crab cakes, chicken Parm and breadpudding, and everything was impeccable. Even the house dressing on the salad blew me away. Service and cozy atmosphere wereboth great. Don't let the humble outside appearance fool you, this place is world class good, I like it more than sal and Judy'seven. Read more
Dinner was lovely - my husband has the special pork tenderloin parmigiana & it was fabulous! I had chicken cacciatore & it was... good but not great. The toasted ravioli appetizer was devine. Read more
I remembered going to this place as a kid, around 1989 or 1990 or so. And then I was never back for the next few decades, until... recently, when I remembered this restaurant, and decided to try it again. And I'm glad I did! I've gone three times this year,and have been extremely happy all three times. I've had chicken parm all three times--I'm not exactly an adventurous girl I know^_^--and it was cooked to perfection every time! Tender and flavorful and not dry at all! I really should branch out a littlebit and try something new next time. Maybe ^_^; The sauce is delicious too, I should add! For dessert, I've gotten the chocolateconfusion, a cake-mousse hybrid thing, and it's sooooo good! I kinda' want to try something else, but I just loooove thechocolate confusion so so much! My waitress has been amazing, and despite not having gone that often, clearly remembered mefrom before. Allowed me to get extra pasta instead of side salad, and even remembered I liked that! Nothing but good things tosay about her, friendly and attentive. It's a cozy little building, almost looking more like someone's home from the outside,and has a cozy home-y atmosphere inside. It's a little out of the way, tucked neatly among the trees, but well worth going andenjoying ^_^ Read more
Started off with the crab cakes (9/10). They were very good however lacked it crab flavor. More bread and sause than anything... but still a very nice flavor. The salads were as advertised, nothing the really write about there. For an entrée, I ordered thelasagna (7/10). The only flavor I could pick up was the marinara with the other ingredients providing more texture than flavor.My wife had the chicken parm (9/10). Pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly with the only complaint was the sauce being alittletoo runny. Finally, for dessert, I ordered the tiramisu (10/10). The bold expresso flavor was absolutely delicious and pairedwith the creamy texture made it a prefect end. The wife ordered the chocolate confusion (10/10). The only complaint was it was atab bit rich but very delicious none the less. Service was up to par and I would be bring visiting family here. Read more
Most consistent restaurant ever. They never cease to impress. Atmosphere is romantic and cozy. The waiters, bus staff and... bartenders are super friendly and pay attention to detail. Always a fun and family oriented place to dine. Everything on themenu is fantastic. I always recommend a soft shell crab and Heather shells. If you haven?t dined at Assunta?s what are youwaiting for? Always remember that restaurants can?t be responsible for takeout when using GrubHub or those type services. Irecommend dining in or picking it up yourself. Cheers Read more
After wanting to try this place for a while and after reading the raving reviews, we are super disappointed. We picked food up... to go tonight. My boyfriends portion of veal was pitiful for the price. I got shrimp pasta, the pasta was over cooked and gummy.The dish had zero flavor and about 5 shrimp. Even the side salad was skimpy. Needless to say after 50 bucks wasted we won't beback. I couldn't even eat mine due to no flavor. Read more
The staff was very friendly and the high note for the visit. Unfortunately, the ambiance is lacking and noise levels are not... conducive for conversation between two people. The food was mediocre and slightly disappointing for the price point. Would notbe a restaurant I would choose, but would return to if another person desired to do so. Read more
