Nestled within historic Downtown Ponchatoula, Ristorante Foodies is an authentic, fine dining Italian restaurant inspired by Chef Paolo Cenni. Chef Paolo describes his dishes as simple cuisine prepared on the principle that the flavor of the main ingredient is enhanced, but never overpowered, by seasonings and spices and garnishments. The freshness of the ingredients is also key. Paolo insists that his New Orleans suppliers provide only fresh ingredients.
