Located in Houma, Louisiana, the Cristiano Ristorante
provides a classic Italian menu, with added seasonal
dishes to inspire variety and showcase the best local
ingredients. Cristiano Ristorante is definitely worth a
reservation while you’re visiting the Louisiana area,
even if you never thought you would be sitting in a
classic Italian eatery in the middle of the deep south.
The restaurant has been rated several times over as
one of the “10 Best” restaurants in the state.
On the classic menu, you’ll find treasures
like the Anatra alla Noce, an
almond-breaded duck tenderloin in
honey buttermilk, topped with a spicy
Pomodoro – or, the veal burger, with
smoked gouda, pesto mayo, and local
baby greens on a freshly-made bun.
On the seasonal menu, look for items such as Tim-
ballo di Coda di Bue, which translates to a slow-
roasted oxtail pot pie. Their seasonal small plates are
always a hit, so be sure to try one – the Conserva di
Tonno, a lemon preserved tuna served on wheat toast
with pickled fennel, a garlic aioli, and a quail egg, is
always a good choice.
