Description: In January of 1982 after establishing Jacmel Inn, a fine dining restaurant, and Brady’s Grill and Bar in Hammond, Hoot Owl owners Paul Murphy and Rick Colucci along with Mandeville native Wallace Simmons took over the lease of the former Prieto Dry Goods store on Girod street in Mandeville. Paul, Rick and Wallace completely remodeled the interior on their own with a vision to bring a classical New York style dining room to the quiet North Shore town. The extensive remodeling was an example of keeping the unique New Orleans style structure outside intact while creating a rich restaurant experience inside. Upon entering the foyer of Nuvolari's, you can tell that a unique restaurant lies before you. Rich hues of wood and soft lighting create an aura of sophistication that relaxes patrons and prepares them for a wonderful dining experience. This one of a kind architecture, consistently superb cuisine and wonderful staff make Nuvolari's a true dining experience!

This local restaurant has been consistently great every time we have a meal there, but for some reason we don't go that often and usually go in to New Orleans instead. We recently had a birthday dinner there for my daughter as per her request. All meals we exceptional. The salmon was particularly prepared with perfection and was well seasoned.... More

Made reservation at the last minute, very nice table at the front window. The accommodations were great until the front door kept banging shut. Had a napkin in the door when we arrived, now I know why. Service was good, our waitress was new. Appetizers were very good, calamari and the flashed fried oysters and Bree Entrees were not as...

This place has some decent food but is very expensive. Cool atmosphere and service was average. If they would reduce the price a little more people would go eat there.

This little quiet spot has some of the best shrimp,scallop, and crab pasta you will ever eat. We try to make it on every special occassion, but it's casual enough to go every night. I will try to go again soon (salivating just thinking about it)

My wife and I dine here regularly, and other than one experience that was miserable due to being seated next to a hillbilly family with screaming children, we've been very pleased. Ten years ago, I would not have given this place a very good rating due to poor service, but now it's a first-class operation.

This place is over priced. The food was Ok. Service really sucked. My wife asked for a particular alcoholic beverage and they didn't know if they could make it, so they went to ask the bartender or manager and they never came back with an answer.
