Monjunis Italian Cafe & Grocery

2025: Excellent overall. Nice artwork on the walls. Food was great. Halley was a great waitress, very attentive. The garlic french bread 🍞 was crispy and soaked with garlic butter. Delicious 😋.

The moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The food was flavorful, generous and reasonably priced. We even took tiramisu home and it was just as delicious the next morning.

Having lived in NY for 35 years, I acquired a taste for authentic Italian food. Which is hard to find here in Louisiana. Seen this place on a Google Search and my first impression was “Mom & Pop”. Which any good Italian restaurant in NY is. “Mom and pop” in NY, means made with love, family cooking. It is a term of endearment. That first impression was dead on! I knew I was in the right place when the Olive Oil and Vinegar for the bead as at the table waiting on me! And they have Cannoli’s !!!! I had the Lasagna, which came in the largest portion I have had here Louisiana. We also had a Sicilian Flat Bread, which was awesome. Yep, this is a NY style “Mom and Pop”, but one with a Louisiana flavor! Yeah, you need to go here!!!!

From the outside this looked like a bit of a dive but the staff was very friendly, the decor was kitschy but cute, and the food was very tasty. Went here with a teen and a tween boy and everyone left happy. I would eat here again.

Went here for the first time for my son's birthday. It is a very crowded space as they are trying to fit as many people as possible. Service is about average. Went without refills for a little while a couple of times. However we drink a lot and they were small glasses. But overall, she was very kind and got it done. The food was good. My son enjoyed his spaghetti. Their red sauce is a bit sweeter than some places, but we all enjoyed it. They do bring out bread, but we didn't know until after we ordered breadsticks, so we had LOTS of carbs. Haha. They did bring a bread pudding, but they do not do anything as far as singing for birthdays, just in case you are curious. Haha. Will likely return, but I definitely want to be sure it's during slower hours next time.
