BEST ITALIAN FOOD. PERIOD. FIVE STARS NEXT LEVEL…read more If you haven't been to Gendusa's Italian Market & Restaurant, you are missing out! Everything we ordered was absolutely incredible: 5 Stars - Crab Dip 5 Stars - Stuffed Artichoke 5 Stars - Artichoke Spinach Dip 5 Stars- Spaghetti & Meatballs - These meatballs are HUGE (1 lb each!) and taste just like Nonna's homemade Sicilian meatballs. Ted never orders meatballs at restaurants, but these were AMAZING. 5 Stars - Shrimp & Crab Ravioli - Next level delicious. 5 Stars - Chicken Parmesan - Perfect with angel hair pasta and homemade red sauce. 5 Stars - Lasagna - Rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And the cannolis... WOW. Fresh, homemade, and the BEST we've ever had. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and on point all night. Service was top notch from start to finish. The atmosphere has a cool speakeasy vibe, and they even have a beautiful upstairs space for weddings, parties, and events. 5 We've eaten a lot of the menu here and have NEVER had a bad meal. GENDUSA'S is our GO-TO for the best Italian food around! If you love Italian food... GO. You'll thank me later.

Great Italian food but not so great pizza…read more Gendusa's is pretty solidly dependable (very) local Italian restaurant in downtown Kenner. It's right on Williams in Rivertown, so there's plenty of parking. It's a popular place, so expect to wait 15-30 minutes most nights. Inside it's a gaudy mess that takes its theming from mafia movies. Hokey and tacky but you're not there for the interior design, so it's fine. It's very family friendly but sometimes too much so in that there are often kids running around playing next to your table, doing splits on the floor, or just banging on stuff and acting up, and since there don't seem to be managers around ever, no one tells the bad kids' bad parents to act right or leave. Food wise it's typical southern Italian food. Good flavor and well cooked. Portions are decent and not out of line with the pricing. A better value than most Italian restaurants for sure. Where Gendusa's repeatedly falls flat though is with their pizza. They try. You can tell they do because they're using high quality ingredients and they don't skimp on toppings. The crust could be better but it's not bad. The sauce has a good flavor but they barely put any of it on the pizza. Even if you ask for heavy sauce the only place you can see any of it is right near the perimeter. Without enough sauce and with a not so flavorful crust, the taste of the pizza is pretty much just that of the toppings. The toppings, though, is where their pizzas really fail. As mentioned above, they do use high quality toppings and they give you lots of them. But, the toppings are never cooked right! They're either all basically raw / uncooked, or if you're lucky, the toppings at the very top will be nicely cooked on the very top surface, but nothing below that very top surface bit of oven exposure is ever done. In fact, every time I've gotten a pizza there, most every topping has been still room temperature even when the rest of the pizza is too hot to eat. Gendusa's clearly know how to cook, but they don't seem to know how to cook pizza. They know how to make a pizza. They just don't know to cook that pizza. My guess is they need to cook their pizzas at a lower temperature for a much longer time...long enough so that every single topping at every level gets fully cooked all the way through...and only then maybe move the pizza over to higher heat to give the crust and such a good finish. Check out the photos below. You can see how the sausage on the very top got nice and done as did the edges of the ham, but the pepperoni and such below is cool to the touch and entirely uncooked. If Gendusa's can fix this, they'll have some solid pizza to go with their great Italian food. I hope they troubleshoot and make improvements.

First Time!!! Tried…read morethe cheese pizza. Such a large slice, easily could measure up to two large slices anywhere else. Definitely full. I ordered the seasoned waffle fries which had a Cajun kick to them and very crunchy. I ordered a small and they definitely gave me a small. Lol. This is a very nice express to pizza eatery. The bright orange and white decor gives it such a fun family vibe. I love that they have a mini game room to keep kids occupied and even a little game room for the adults. The menu is pretty straight forward and gives you original options. Offering pizza, wings, frozen adult daiquiris, and my favorite MILKSHAKES. I didn't get one this time but don't worry you know I'll be back.

Something different. I cannot say we were overly impressed. I often get the lasagna and I just did not like the red sauce they were using. That to me can make or break the dish and to my taste, it just did not do it. We also found the service on that particular evening to be, well, unattentive. The girl was at the bar chatting more than making her rounds to see who might need a second drink or something of that nature. I hate to say this but there are, in my opinion, better restaurants for Italian food and will likely will not return.

Second visit there was only one server and the place ended up getting packed and I felt terrible for her because she had so many tables. It probably took 20 minutes to get to me for a drink order and another 10 before I could place my food order. She was very nice, but there needs to be management there to help out when things get this rough. Third visit is probably my last. Hardly anyone in the restaurant, the young man waiting tables is OK nice. My other two visits both of my entrées came with beans and rice. I ordered Daddy's special An outage came on a huge plate with a tamale, flauta, and a chile relleno. There were no beans and rice and I asked my server if I could get a side of beans and rice for the plate? Few moments later he came out with a rather large plate with beans and rice on it. About 30% more than you would get on a normal plate. When my check came, I was shocked. For the side of beans and rice that was 399 each which brought my ticket total up eight dollars! That's right, $8 for side of beans and rice. I'll skip this place and go back to my regular spots, Casa Garcia and Caretta's.
