This Louisiana Italian Restaurant Makes Its Pasta, Pizza Dough And Ice Cream From Scratch

A blue crab pasta in Louisiana comes with a twist, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The noodles are made in-house, and so are the pizza dough and the ice cream. That’s a lot of from-scratch work for one kitchen. I like how the menu blends Italian ideas with a Gulf Coast attitude.
