In a city that takes dining so seriously it is logical to conclude that the best restaurants, like Tommy's Cuisine, are those favored by locals. Their formula is time tested and in no small way the signature of proprietor, Tommy Andrade. A present and active owner, an experienced wait staff and a simple, classic menu served reliably and properly.

At Tommy's the cuisine is Classic Creole Italian, a storied part of the local culinary lexicon dating back well over a century…long, long before it became fashionable for chefs to hyphenate any and every combination of ethnic cuisines. In fact, Creole Italian as a distinct style originated in the late 1800's when a wave of Italian immigrants settled in the French Quarter. Within forty years the waning Creole neighborhood was transformed into an ethnic stronghold of French and Italian cuisine.

Today this intriguing culinary crossroad can be enjoyed at Tommy's Cuisine, a decidedly upscale restaurant located in the city's most exciting and fashionable neighborhood, the Warehouse District. Located next to the art galleries of Julia Street visitors to Tommy's can enjoy the energy of downtown without being limited to the French Quarter. For travelers to New Orleans the restaurant is a short stroll from the vast majority of the city's hotels and only two blocks from the Morial Convention Center.
