In 1979, after over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Joe Impastato opened Impastato’s in Metaire. Only 5 years before, his brother Sal opened Sal and Judy’s in Lacombe. Now the family of restaurants extends to Madisonville with the opening of Impastato Cellars on September 5, 2013. The Impastato family decided to bring the same traditional, authentic Italian cuisine to the table on the Northshore along with the old world ambiance of a 600 square foot wine cellar featuring over 400 labels, in addition to a wide variety of spirits and craft beers.

The truth is, you don't become a Louisiana favorite just by putting the word "authentic" on your sign. When you've served Cajun meals as long as we have, you learn the difference between real food and a bland imitation, and our guests know it too. Grilled, fried or on ice-there's time cooked into every dish and time spent on every home cooked recipe, so that every aroma, every bite, every sip and every gathering is memorable. We've spent more than 80 years creating a recipe for something much greater than a place for a lunch break or night out. It's a place to share (or keep the whole plate to yourself), a place where you always have a seat ready at the table and a place where you're always part of the family.

    I tried the shrimp fajitas and family members got the ribeye fajitas and the food was fabulous as usual. I do wish they would turn the music down a little bit because it does tend to be rather loud. My other gripe is that when you order a large frozen margarita, they never fill it up. There's a good space at the top.

    I will go back. I loved their “ patatas bravas” it was a very authentic Spanish dish. The albóndigas were good too. The wine for lunch time was a slightly high price, but it was good. The coffee was wonderful, a big cup, as I like it. Service was very good, of course we went at lunch time on a Wednesday and they were not too busy. Very nice and cleaned place.
