Coastal Italian near the Lakefront in Historic West End

Breaded chicken fried steak topped with sautéed mushrooms and green onions, served with a side of creamy garlic pasta.

From a 4th generation New Orleans restaurant family.

For the Riccobono family, restaurants have always been about more than food. They are places where people gather, celebrate, and return to again and again.

That spirit lives at Sala Nola. A neighborhood restaurant shaped by family history, coastal & local flavors, and more than a century of New Orleans hospitality.

Step into the calm side of New Orleans

Located in West End, this area has always been the perfect gathering place near the lake. Sailboats in the marina, seafood on the table, and neighbors meeting for dinner after a long day.
