Italian comfort food in red sauce red and garlicky olive oil golden, at @faustosbistro .

This Metairie spot is as classic as that neon sign out front, but it got a new lease on life back in 2024 with new owners and they’ve really lived up to the task.

Check the arancini, lasagna, veal Vittorio and especially that linguine allá vongole — with seemingly equal parts clams and garlic slices, just asking for twists of Italian bread to drag through.

Open on Mondays, which is good to remember when comfort food is your craving.
