New Restaurant Alert: TANA Opening In Old Metairie

A well-known New Orleans chef is in the proverbial kitchen working up something good: a new restaurant. Michael Gulotta is planning to helm a new Italian restaurant in Old Metairie.

The news comes from the Times-Picayune, which sat down with Gulotta recently.

Gulotta’s new eatery is called TANA and will feature posh Italian cuisine. New Orleans foodies may know Gulotta from the delectable fare at MayPop, but he’s been around.

After graduating from the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute, Gulotta went on to open MOPHO, which now has two locations in the greater New Orleans area.

When Will TANA Open?

According to the newspaper, TANA will open sometime close to the beginning of 2023. The eatery is located at 2929 Metairie Road.

“This will be the Italian restaurant I’ve always wanted,” Gulotta was quoted as saying. It’s also the Italian we’ve been wanting as well.

If you don’t want to wait for TANA, you may be curious about some other places you can get authentic Italian fare in New Orleans.

New Orleans’ food and drink scene continues to grow with no stops on the horizon. Ready to try something new?
