Bosco's Italian Cafe Mandeville

Long over due review! Soooo I’m Italian and VERY picky about Italian restaurants but we we finally found a winner!! Yes we drive from Baton Rouge but it’s absolutely worth it. Our first visit was in October for our anniversary dinner. We had the place to ourselves basically. We had such a sweet waitress who helped me with the menu (I’m recovering from eye surgery) She was very attentive and we never needed to ask for anything. Our last visit was last month and I was honestly impressed that the consistency of food and serve are STILL excellent. You can taste how fresh the ingredients, food and sauces are. You WILL have PLENTY of leftovers to dream about until the next day. The drinks are stiff without the stiff price too. We met Giavanna (the owners daughter) who was very helpful with my menu choice… Do yourself a favor and order the Carmella (named after her sister) and order dessert even if it’s to go. As a home baker I can tell you I rarely order dessert because it’s something generic and premade. Here the cake layers are light & fluffy, fillings and frostings aren’t too sweet. I cannot wait to return!! -Pic 1 & 2 Soft shell crab with a shrimp, mushroom, artichokes and lemon butter cream sauce. Side on angel hair with EVOO, Herbs, and garlic -Pic 3 The wedding cake -Pic 4 CHICKEN CARMELLA PANEED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH A SHRIMP & MUSHROOM LEMON BUTTER SAUCE AND LB OF PASTA ON THE SIDE 🤤 -Pic 5 FRESH BREAD & BUTTER CHICKEN PARMIGIANA AND COCKTAIL -Pic 6 MOVE OVER REGULAR KING CAKE… DOBERGE IS WHERE ITS AT 😋 LIGHT CINNAMON CAKE FILLED WITH A SLIGHTLY SWEET MARSCAPONE FILLING AND ALMOND POURED FONDANT ICING

It had been a while since we had been to Bosco's and it didn't disappoint. Real Italian food and a great ambiance!
