When owner Johnny Carrabba set out on his next restaurant venture, he knew his vision would include the fond memories he had of his dear grandmother Grace Mandola. Grace, also known to the family as Mama, was a Sicilian woman born to immigrant parents in Louisiana. She had a flair for cooking, hospitality, and deep faith.

She was known to make bread from scratch every Saturday for her legendary three-hour Sicilian Sunday lunches; and, her newly established family roots in Louisiana added interesting flavors to her home cooked meals. The entire Mandola family, including her five children and fourteen grandchildren, was regularly greeted in her home with smells of warm bread, well brewed sauces and homemade soups. It was around her table that her family learned the true meaning and value of relationships, friendships and good food.

    This is a staple in our dining choice as the food is always good and the service is generally always friendly. You can tell it's an enjoyable atmosphere by the noise level, so if you are not bothered by this you'll have a great time.

    Grace’s NEVER fails to disappoint which is why it’s my absolute, most favorite restaurant. Ana greeted me at the front desk and she’s always warm and welcoming and our waitress Jackie was also awesome. Todd was the only thing missing but I know he works at night now.

    The lead hostess was not kind on last night 1/18/24. We had a reservation @6:30pm for our Christmas Celebration and we could not be seated until another family got up from that same table @7pm. Communication was poor and the manager did not come over to our table afterwards to apologize. We were made to feel like it was our fault. She sent an appetizer to the table but did not come over to speak with us herself. This is unacceptable!!

    Ton and Trey were excellent servers and were very warm and welcoming. They took excellent care of us and even had their manager, Todd, help us with an extra question we had. We really appreciated Todd taking the time to talk to us! Probably one of the best times we have been to Graces!

    Grace's restaurant consistently impresses with its exceptional service and delightful atmosphere. Marissa, our server, truly stands out; her attentiveness and friendly demeanor make every visit a memorable experience. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all our needs are met, contributing to an excellent dining experience. Whether she’s recommending dishes or checking in on us throughout the meal, her pleasant attitude adds an extra layer of enjoyment to our time there. It's always a pleasure to be served by her!
