Osteria Lupo, the highly anticipated new restaurant from the team behind Costera, is now open on Magazine Street in New Orleans.

In the kitchen: Chef Brian Burns is at the helm. His resume boasts stints at places like the Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon and Château Cordeillan-Bages in France, as well as closer-to-home names like Herbsaint and Peche.
