Gendusa's Italian Eatery

This was a really cool experience and atmosphere. It's like a secret restaurant behind the bakery storefront which are to the mob boss vibe. They had godfather playing on the background which was awesome. The food was great! Had the platter, spinach dip, calzone and chicken parmesan. All of it was delicious. Highly recommend this location if you're looking for a great Italian spot. Live music as well!

Delicious! Great Italian and huge portions. The veal Oscar was divine. Pizza was excellent. Service was good too. I'd eat here again.

Great authentic south Italian cuisine! Hugh portions of veal and chicken parmagian! Both veal and chicken were thick pieces of meat flash fried to a crispy golden crust and very juicy. The sauce was perfectly seasoned. I asked for more and it came out quickly and hot! Love that they serve angel hair pasta. The Gelato selection is amazing, creamy and flavorful. Looking forward to our next visit

delicious, kind staff, big portions, had a live musician, and great atmosphere. unique, historic to Kenner, authentic. cant recommend it more. I went for my senior prom dinner, for birthdays, family reunions - its all great. this time I got the calzone. it was incredible, and the marinara is to die for. the spaghetti is a KIDS PLATE and the meatball js bigger than my sister's hand

We had breakfast at Gendusa's and it was delicious! The chicken and waffles are so good and the pancakes are very fluffy and tasty. The service is excellent and coffee cup stays filled. We also ordered the mimosas and my wife had the blueberry mimosa and loved it. I highly recommend everyone should go try this place out if you haven't. Definitely worth it! The price is very affordable!

I loved it and wish I lived closer. We decided to give this restaurant a try based on other reviews, and it was well worth it! Enjoyable experience. The waiter was knowledgeable and recommended a very nice wine that went well with the crab cake meal. As we were there on a Sunday night, we even got to enjoy the live music. Definitely added to the experience and well done both in technique, song choices, and especially volume for the space. The crab cakes were phenomenal and very well enjoyed. Wanted to try lasagna, but they were already out. Decided on my second choice, angel hair pasta and meatballs, and they did not disappoint. The the meatballs are HUGE! Again, wish I lived closer that I could come back and try more of the menu.

This gem is not far off 1-10 and is located one block from the river. It’s nestled in a little neighborhood setting that is both nostalgic and welcoming (there are lights strung on all the buildings). The atmosphere of the dining room speaks Italian. The food is awesome and truly is some of the best around. Portions are decent. We had Carla as a waitress and she was super. We left full, glad we visited, and committed to returning soon for an evening date night. Highly recommend!!

No matter what I get, it's always delicious. Great flavor, the portions are big and not pricey at all
