Tried Voleos for the first time after watching the TV episode for Gordon Ramsey, and the did not disappoint! Reservations are recommended, and they had our table ready on time! Very casual and family friendly dining atmosphere. It is family owned and I had the opportunity to speak to them, and you can tell they absolutely care about their customers and their restaurant is their passion! They are absolutely some of the friendliest and sincere people I have ever met. When the food came out, looked great. While my son just had a children’s grilled cheese and fries (looked great), my wife had the eggplant Parmesan and I had the fried catfish with Jambalaya. Portions were excellent, so much so we had to take food home. The fried catfish was wonderful and tasty and the eggplant Parmesan was a huge amount and my wife loved it, of course I snuck a few bites too! While we did not get it, they have very large portions of onion ring appetizers which I’ll definitely try next time. We will be back and highly recommend this family owned restaurant.

I saw this restaurant on TV and decided the next time I visit New Orleans, I'd give it a try. Welp, I was not disappointed! The Chicken Parm was delicious and has large portions. The crab boudin balls were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I finally had a good hot sausage Po'Boy. Excellent customer service! It gives you the feeling of a mom and pop and you're like family. Wish they'd open up in Atlanta.

A very typical small Louisiana food establishment. Small and comfortable lots of interesting Thanks hanging on the walls. For a small place, there was lots of seating available. The food was fantastic, especially the oyster pasta. Other people in the group had the fish platter and the seafood platter and both were very good. Service was fun quick. All of the people there owner's servers, cleaners, etc. Were fun to watch and great to deal with. Highly recommended.

Was in town for work and stopped by for lunch. I got the Bayou Trout and it didn’t disappoint. It was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The service and food was great. I have no complaints.

Cute little family run restaurant. May not look too inviting from the outside, but inside is a different story. The server Janet is incredibly nice and welcoming. As for the food, took a while to decide due to a large menu, but I went with the Flounder Lafitte, a dish that Gordon Ramsay tried when he visited for the show “Kitchen Nightmares,” which this restaurant WAS featured on. Don’t let that fool you... The food was amazing and fresh. I sampled other menu items that my guests ordered... no complaints at all. Portion sizes are large, so be sure to come super hungry! Highly recommend!!!

Very authentic look and atmosphere, Family owned and operated. If you’re coming to Louisiana I believe this is a must stop to grab a delicious bite. The salad was a good portion, it was my first time trying hush puppies so it’s hard to compare but they tasted very doughy. The BBQ Shrimp was amazing but the bacon could have been a little more cooked. Now for the two entrees, starting off with the shrimp and crawfish fettuccine was cooked to perfection, a nice pasta with a flavorful sauce, the toast was an added bonus. The chicken and oyster noodles were as well delicious but came more watery than the pasta almost like a soup but rich with flavor. This establishment made me feel right at home and very clean with amazing service. I look forward to coming back.

Voleo’s seafood restaurant is a great Mom and Pop’s type place. Definitely a hidden gem. Food portion was huge. The shrimp pasta was delicious! It even heated back up very well later on (since I couldn’t finish it and one sitting). Honey mustard on the salad tasted homemade. I can’t remember the name of the older woman who served me, but she was very kind and helpful. Things to note: This place is small and confined, but don’t let that deter you from their wonderful service and food! If you don’t like small places, I recommend takeout. Unlike some place that never answer the phone, their phone was ringing off the hook, and they were answering every call! I noticed this when I walked up front. It was really cold inside even with a coat. I wish it was a little warmer inside. My overall experience was great. I will return if I’m in the area!
