The Mandeville Trailhead will soon enjoy the authentic Italian cuisine of a local restaurant owner – Giovanni “Gio” Vanchere – who was also a high-profile chef in Vegas while operating award-winning restaurants and briefly acting as the catering director at Caesars Palace. Vanchere will be moving his 10-year-old restaurant Gio’s Villa Vancheri to the corner of Woodrow and Lafitte Streets at 690 Lafitte St. in Mandeville.

This well-known Mandeville treasure has been located on the East Causeway Approach next to a Vietnamese

restaurant for over 10 years and has had a steady and loyal clientele, especially considering that getting to the restaurant was sometimes hampered by the road construction that had been an almost 3-year ordeal for people living and working off of Florida St. and Hwy. 190.  The new location previously housed the Opal Basil restaurant, which served its last meal April 29th.

The new location of Gio’s Villa Vancheri will open around June 17th. Vanchere is pleased to now own a location, instead of renting one, and he is going to use all of the available square footage to showcase his wares.  The bottom level of the new restaurant will features tapas – European-style – and an antipasti bar.  Outdoor seating will be available on the second floor and will be the main part of the restaurant serving the authentic Italian dishes that have made Vanchere popular over the last 10 years.

“It’s been very gratifying to have the following of friends we have now and our new location will have more room for them,” he said. “And, it will be my own building.”

St. Tammany Parish is in the top 3 fastest growing parishes in Louisiana.  The entire Baton Rouge area (Ascension & Livingston Parishes) had the highest amount of growth in 2016 at 3.66% and 3.27% respectively.  St. Tammany Parish grew by 3.08% from 246,026 residents in 2014 to 253,602 in 2016. The census shows that there is a lot of

“Southshore / Northshore movement” with people moving into St. Tammany Parish from Jefferson and Orleans parishes.  There are also new home residents moving in from Tangipahoa and Washington parishes, adjacent to St. Tammany Parish.  People from Pearl River County (Picayune, MS) also reported moving to St. Tammany Parish in 2016.

St. Tammany Parish has been on a progressive growth trend since 2010 with 7.5% growth from 2010 to 2016.  There are two main reasons for this – the birth of new children and the steady incoming tide of new or returning St. Tammany homeowners.  The actual numbers that show this growth are 234,568 residents in 2010 grew to 253,602 residents reported on the census during 2016.  This growth is not overshadowed by the “Katrina effect” where we

saw a surge of home buyer and renters from the Southshore right after the storm.  This growth is independent and accounts for 2,000 to 3,000 people moving to St. Tammany Parish annually over the last 16 years.

St. Tammany Parish also has a high “retention rate” with more people staying in the parish than moving out of it.  In 2016, for instance 2,416 more people moved into the parish than those moving out. Also, St. Tammany Parish has proven to have the ability to attract a “brand new audience,” attracting more people moving into the parish from out-of-state than any other parish in Southeast Louisiana.

Other facts to note include that births in St. Tammany Parish have been approaching the amount of 3,000 since 2011.  In 2016, that birth rate amount finally topped 3,000, so that has accounted immensely for growth in St. Tammany Parish. The “small town feel” with all of the trappings of commercial development, retail, entertainment, dining, and services of the cities of Slidell, Covington, and Mandeville are the draw of people moving into the parish.  Although still considered a “bedroom community,” St. Tammany Parish also offers homeowners pretty much any lifestyle amenity they could need.
