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.

For my entrée, I went with the penne pasta, which came with chicken, spinach, mushrooms, and garlic--absolutely delicious. I also tried the lamb meatball pizza, and it was full of flavor, topped with dollops of creamy ricotta that took it to the next level. I loved it. Overall, Oak Oven serves outstanding food, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I'll definitely be back to explore the menu.

But the value doesn't match the price. I paid $17 for a very small lasagna, and $27.50 for a fettuccine that came with what looked like barely one chicken breast and maybe half a portion of noodles. For the cost, the portions were surprisingly small. For a $30 plate, i'd expect more food Overall, the food is delicious, but the portions don't justify the price. If they offered more generous servings, it would easily be a top-tier experience! 4.5/5 for the food taste 2.5/5 for the value and portion size 3.5/5 for the vibe / ambiance 4/5 staff

Even at 6:00 on a Thursday evening it was nice to see quite a few tables occupied but it wasn't packed thankfully. The bar seats were mostly occupied with what looked like regulars so that's always a good sign too. We were seated at a table near the bar and so the bartender was also our waitress. She was also waiting on other tables in the area and for that reason I think she was a bit overextended. She was attentive but always rushing and really no personal service to speak of. We never did get bread plates and didn't have an opportunity to ask for any unfortunately. The breadsticks were brought out first, way before the meal, and weren't anything special. We each ate half of one and no more. My dinner came with a salad so that came out first. Tasty and fresh, and just an everyday side salad. Our meals arrived and at first glance, there just wasn't anything special about them. I'm not sure what I was expecting really, except with the price point I thought there would be a nicer presentation. The eggplant parmesan was cooked nicely but we were never offered any cheese and for lack of a better description, it was like something I would throw together at home, not a restaurant meal. My friend's food did not look appetizing on the plate, again, like a home cooked meal and not restaurant quality. The potato had been in the warming oven for a while it seemed, not fluffy any longer and the salmon was way overcooked and dry. I won't be giving this spot another go. Some folks here seem to like it but it's just not the quality I look for when dining out.

Had a Heineken Zero and husband had Coke. I ordered the Penne Buratta, husband wanted the traditional Lasagna, and we ordered a small Take & Bake Lasagna Pie pizza. My Penne Burrata was to die for! Husband's lasagna was super as well. Service was timely without being rushed. We had a few leftovers, though I have to admit, should have been more but I couldn't stop munching. Bill came with cash and credit card amount on it, which I appreciate. ($67.55 w/tax cash) Check out was quick, and for the amount of food, the pricing was reasonable. We did cook the pizza the next day (suggested not to wait more than 24 hrs) and it was very good. I think next time though I will choose a different flavor. Will return.

Their lasagna is really tasty as well as their spaghetti and meatballs. They also offer more Italian classics and tasty pizza to boot! Soups are nice and hearty. Service is always friendly and cordial. They offer a really nice selection of wines but nothing on the cocktails side. The ambiance is OK. Not what I would call a chick restaurant. The restaurant could use a little face lift and refreshing. But it is good for families, it is always clean and the service and quality of food makes up for it. It's because of the ambiance that I don't give it 5 stars, but I most say I think they do have the best gravy/marinara in town. It is just perfect!

The hubs and I ordered the cheese sticks and then split a pizza. It was so delicious!…read more The cheese sticks were in a very thin type of crust. There was plenty of cheese and the dipping sauce was great. The kids order chicken tenders and spaghetti with A meatball. ($5.99 each) The pizza was awesome. Soft but fully cooked pizza dough and crust. Plenty of toppings and hot. Delicious. The spaghetti was noodles and one medium meatball. Absolutely nothing fancy and want enough for my kid. I would have rather gotten him the 3 meatball appetizer for $6.99. The chicken tenders (2) were clearly from frozen bag... and warmed up in microwave. My kid wouldn't eat them. They were dry and cheap and flavorless. I get that it is a kids menu but still expected more. The cups were all plastic "to go" cups so you couLd take it with you. ... or they threw them away afterward. That seemed like a lot of plastic waste to me. Food was great. Avoid the kids menu.

We've ordered Detroit style elsewhere and while they can be smaller, this feels a bit extreme. So taking stars away for cost and sizing.

She told me I needed to purchase it first, so I did -- right there in front of her. Once I showed her the purchased Groupon, she said, "Oh, I thought this was another app. We don't accept Groupons." She then asked me to open the Groupon, but I refused because doing so would mark it as redeemed. I explained that she should've told me not to buy it if they don't take Groupons. The part that really bothers me is that the Groupon offer is still listed on their app, so it's misleading. Now I'm stuck trying to get my money refunded, and the whole experience left me feeling like they didn't want me and my son there. Very disappointed with the lack of communication and customer service -- is this how you treat potential customers?
