Customers rave about the variety of dishes. Donna Fontenot describes the muffaletta and eggplant fries as “unbelievably great,” and I couldn’t agree more—these dishes exemplify the perfect blend of flavor and crunch. The eggplant parmesan and chicken parmesan, as noted by Kevin Smith, are must-tries. The homemade red sauce is a star here, enhancing every bite. And for those craving seafood, Peter Brady swears by their crawfish étouffée and fried catfish, both boasting authentic Southern spice and charm.
But it’s not just the main dishes that shine. The sweet potato fries are a delightful surprise, offering a sweet counterpart to the savory meals—a true testament to Castalano's thoughtfulness in their menu design.

“ Wow. Unbelievably great food! It's been a while since I've been this impressed. We had the muffaletta, the eggplant and portobello on foccacia, the sweet potato fries, and the eggplant fries. All excellent. Can't wait to try other dishes next time. ”
“ We were passing through Morgan City and stoped based on the Yelp reviews. It was worth the stop. We had egg plant parmesan, chicken Parmesan, and the Cuban sandwich. They were all delicious. Their red sauce was great. The only regret is we didn’t stock up from their freezer section. Bring an ice chest (they have them if you forget!). Don’t miss it. ”
