Rocky & Carlo's Restaurant & Bar: Authentic Italian Dining Experience in Chalmette

A true local neighborhood restaurant. Lots of variety to choose from. There is a cafeteria style with daily specials. However, you can order off the menu. I know many who love their mac & cheese. It's unique and ok, but personally, I love creamy cheesy baked macaroni & cheese. This is not that kind. But I did like their Muffaletta despite it needing more olive oil with It's salad. The stuffed artichoke was good. The fried shrimp was good, too. My family enjoyed their food and trip here. The staff was amazing and friendly. It's worth a try with so many options and the large servings.

We have driven by Rocky & Carlo’s Restaurant & Bar dozens of times and never really noticed it. Friends told me it was great so we made a trip there. The place is very casual with really good food and service. Most of the other clients I spoke with were regulars, a good sign. The portions are huge! One order could have easily fed us both. Definitely on my list of regular places to go from now on.

Simplicity awesome food with large portions! Had the small order of macaroni and cheese, couldn't finish it with the other food! Oyster were perfectly fried! Also had the WOP salad and a fried soft shell crab! Great service and food! Glad we got there at opening because within 20 minutes there was a long line ordering and the place became packed!

Awesome food, great portions, amazing prices, fantastic service. I have eaten all over the world and this is one of my top 20 destinations after many years. It's simply the great quality that used to be common. It is not so common any more. That is why Rocky & Carlo's is so exceptional, time after time.

What a great place!! This place has been a well-known local gem since 1965. Huge potions of some of the best local tasting fare. The motto: “Be nice or leave” & “Ladies invited”. You will not, simply will not, be disappointed with a visit to Rocky & Carlo’s!

I was in New Orleans to check out a shooting range I had seen on YouTube Neutral Ground Gun Company (@neutralgroundguncompany) and after the visit asked for recommendations on local fare. Being allergic to shellfish (and it is Crawfish season) they pointed me to Rocky and Carlos, a local establishment that has been there over 50 years. Well, I made my way over to them and I’m glad I did. It’s a quaint spot with lots of parking (around back) and a cool diner vibe inside. They have a really nice hot food counter, but I was told I had to order the “Beef Sandwich, Dressed”. I did as I was told. Boy am I glad I did!! I got a huge sandwich on a po’boy roll with some very flavorful beef and gravy. The dressed part was tomatoes, lettuce and not sure what else but it was awesome. I am glad they had napkin dispensers on the table because I used enough to cause a paper shortage. It was SO messy and SO good. After finishing half I had to stop to take the other half back to the hotel. I was told the Veal Parmigiana was the special Thursdays and so I will be back then. Everything looked and smelled so good. The dining room was spotless and the employees seemed happy and friendly. When in New Orleans area this place is worth the trip! and to top it off “ Ladies Invited”

All menu items come with an excessive amount of food. Get in line to order and pay then a staff member will bring you your food. Not as busy as some other po boy places but at least as good.

This is the best place to eat. The food is so delicious and amazing. It’s cooked fresh and hot. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. I got the Wednesday special, brucioloni. It was so delicious with the Mac and cheese and eggplant dressing. You leave hungry, something is wrong with you.
