Liuzza’s on Bienville Serving Food Again
I hate to detract from the typically downtrodden mood of this blog, but there is actually some great news to report. Liuzza’s Restaurant has finally re-opened their kitchen. Their bar has been open odd hours for a few months now, but now they are finally doing what they do best– making food. This makes them the first of the Mid-City Creole-Italian holy trinity to open their doors. Mandina’s and Venezia, the other corners of the trinity, do plan to re-open. Rumor has it that Venezia will be open early fall, and down the block, Angelo Brocato’s may open next month.
As is the norm these days, Liuzza’s has a limited menu but all the standards are there; the frenchuletta, some po-boys, their excellent fried pickles, some italian dishes, some New Orleans standards. I am particularly looking forward to trying a new dish on their menu; the Crawfish Telemachus. Liuzza’s is located at 3636 Bienville St, corner of N. Telemachus.

I’m reading this while eating some reheated pizza for dinner…somehow, it’s lost it’s non-existent flavor.
Forgive the ignorance, but can someone tell me what a Crawfish Telemachus is? Thanks…
It is Liuzza’s own creation, named after the street they’re on. It is some kind of pasta dish, probably similar to Crawfish Monica.
