Mandina's is a Mid-City institution since 1932 serving honest, unpretentious Creole-Italian cooking to generations of New Orleans families. The turtle soup, fried seafood platters, and Italian sausage with red gravy are exactly what you want them to be. The room is old-school and comfortable, full of regulars who've been coming for decades. Cash is preferred and the vibe is refreshingly unself-conscious.
