I eat at Rocky & Carlo's everytime I go to New Orleans. I like to get the veal parmesean with macoroni & cheese or the macoroni & cheese with an order of meatballs. The softshell crab is good also. I would never go there without...

I will be staying at Hotel De Paris for 2 nights prior to leaving on a 7 day cruise to Venice. I would like your help deciding on 2 fine dining restaurants for dinner in Monte Carlo. $$$ is no matter. We will be celebrating our...

Had dinner at Carlo's in Allston (Brighton Ave.) for the first time the other night. It’s become the regular date spot my roommates, so I thought I'd check it out. The food there is absolutely great, and it’s a great...

I wholeheartedly agree – great food, all homemade, wonderful people that work there. I've been a customer since it was Carlos' Sub shop and we’d go there on Fridays for the egggplant parm subs – There’s a...

What is the deal with Monte Carlo (not sure if that is the exact name) on Fairfax, 1 block or so south of 6th street? Is it open? I used to live at Park La Brea for 3 years and would see people going in there sporadically.

OK, I need to hear from folks who have actually eaten at the legendary Rocky & Carlo's in Chalmette. Supposedly the macaroni and cheese makes the trip worthwhile, plus you can get a nice helping of wop salad too. So is it worth a...

CHOW ALERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been keeping this place to myself for a long while . It is on 20 ave and either 53 st or 52 in BoroPark. They make one of the best veal cultes sandwiches in the boro.It’s a...

Sangria Texas Style

We are spending a few hours in Monte Carlo prior to boarding our cruise ship in 10 days. Any suggestions for a “quintessential” dinner experience? Costs are not material to our decision since we are already fortified...

Agua de Yerba Buena (Mint Water)

We just noticed that there is an Izzy’s Steaks & Chops in San Carlos. I did a bit of research and found out that the Habana Cuba Restaurant there wasn’t doing too well, so Sam DuVall turned it into an Izzy’s. Has...

A few weeks ago, San Carlos decided to start up a Thursday evening farmers market. I believe the hours are 4-8 pm. Location is on Laurel Street just South of San Carlos Ave. I've gone for the last 3 weeks and I think it’s...

Sadly I have to report that I believe Carlo's in Brighton is on a downhill swing. I was there the other night with the family and it’s not up to par. Carlo's was never fine dining, but was able to do the basic Italian...

I read a nice article about Parasol’s Restaurant and Bar, Parkway Bakery and Tavern and Rocky and Carlo's in the most recent Gourmet Magazine. Anyone care to comment. Interesting places. Thanks.

Monte Carlo is the only strip hotel I've never visited. I've participated on many Las Vegas forums and I think it’s safe to say that the Monte Carlo buffet has an extremely low profile — offhand, I can’t think...
