Eating out in Lafayette can be expensive and the worst thing about eating out in Lafayette is paying a lot of money for a bad meal with worse service. That won't happen here. iMonelli never disappoints!. Excellent meals with great service.
Love this restaurant!! The food is amazing! Love the lunch and dinner menu. We went for lunch and they give you a free soup or salad with your meal. The spinach and tasso bisque is so flavorful! Paired so good with the homemade free bread! Service was great!!! I got the small crab cake with a side of pasta with …
We had a great dinner experience at Imonelli. Crab and artichoke appetizer was fantastic. We had the oyster Rockefeller soup and wedge salad. The wedge salad was one of the best I've ever had. For our entree I had the bone in veal chop with cognac cream sauce. My wife had the veal Italiano. Both were fantastic. Bone in veal …
The seafood crepes were delicious! We also had red fish and seafood tortelloni. Our server Presley was amazing. Atmosphere was quiet and intimate, a nice change from noisy restaurants, especially for my birthday. My only regret was being too full to order desert.

The Halibut special with lump crab meat was fresh, flakey goodness! The chocolate ganashe with raspberry sauce was delicious, especially with my last bit of red wine. Our waitress never dropped her …
This restaurant is a jewel. I've had the pleasure of eating here since I was a teenager in the 80s when I first tried the stuffed rainbow trout and could order nothing else for long after. Literally everything I've had here is amazing. The fact that their house cabernet is my favorite go-to J Lohr doesn't hurt either. Friday nights …
We had a great time at iMonelli. Our server Sarah was excellent. We had the crab and artichoke dip with fried eggplant to start. The crab and artichoke was excellent. The fresh bread was also excellent. The sorbet was a great pallet cleanser and transition to the Rack of Lab plate. The lab was excellent as was the oyster spaghetti. …
AMAZING experience! Grace was our server and she was phenomenal! Our favorites were the seafood crepes and dessert (turtle cheesecake & white chocolate bread pudding). Thank you Imonelli’s

The atmosphere was warm and romantic, and the food was so fresh and flavorful, every bite was so good. The service was kind and attentive, which made the night feel even more special. Such a perfect Valentine’s dinner, and I’ll definitely be going …
Imonelli is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Lafayette. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, elegant, and inviting—perfect for a romantic dinner or a special evening out. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I had the seafood crepes and the soft-shell crab, and both were rich in flavor and beautifully presented. Every dish …
