I won't ever say no to pasta, and I will definitely not say no to cheesy pasta that is set on fire, table side.
Why it matters: That's one of the dishes on offer at Tana, chef Michael Gulotta's newest restaurant in Old Metairie.
What I ordered: Tagliatelle Mantecata nella Forma di Grana Padano alla Tana ($29) with jumbo lump crab ($18).
- The menu description is simply "that cheese wheel pasta," because we all know what we're doing here. And in a restaurant where the menus light up like children's singing birthday cards, we definitely know.

Order the pasta, and you get dinner and show because a server will wheel a cart over and prepare the dish table side.
- There's a bit of flash and flare as the sauce is flambéed, then it all comes together as the heat melts within the hollowed out cheese wheel.
- The noodles stretch and swirl though the hole in its middle, and the result is a nutty, buttery pasta you won't want to share.
