Gendusa’s Italian Market

I had the pasta and meat balls. The pasta was over cooked, it was mush. They never heard of aldente. The meat balls had too much bread crumbs in them, however there were two and they were large. The red gravy was on a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 5. They need to give you a large spoon when serving pasta, they did not. Caesar salad that came with the meal was a good salad but was not a caesar. I enjoyed the saying on their cups Take the Cannoli leave the gun. Phil P.

Awesome food and atmosphere! Service is on point! This is my second time here and it amazing! The owner is present and personable. He truly enjoys cooking and it shows in his food!

Everything was delicious from the eggplant breadsticks to the pizza and ended with cannolis! Pizzas are thin crust, loaded with toppongs New York style! Will be back very soon!

2^nd night in a row… 90 minute wait for a takeout order! Unacceptable. Please rectify this!

We’ve only had the cannolis and cappuccino, but both were delicious! I can’t wait to have a meal. Atmosphere is precious, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. They didn’t flinch when we rolled in 20 mins before closing. Will be back!

Was great /​lov the atmosphere in South Kenner /​feels like yu eating in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Cannoli’s and Tiramisu are to die for…
Going back to try the Pizza…

This place now accepts credit cards but, alas, no alcohol. The food, however, was quite good. Place is relatively small with only two tables designed for more than four diners. Service was fast and friendly. Owner/​chef came out to see if we were satisfied.

First off, everyone that works there is super friendly and nice. The food is very good. We ordered the meatball po-​boy, roast beef po-​boy, muffuletta and the child’s pepperoni pizza. We also split a Caesar salad, which probably was the best Caesar salad that I’ve ever had. Complete with homemade French bread seasoned croutons. Everything was great. The meatballs and the roast beef all appeared homemade. My only complaint about the muffuletta was that it wasn’t heated all the way through and the meat was still cold. It was toasted though, as were all of the sandwiches that we ordered.
I couldn’t give five stars based on the fact that they don’t accept credit cards, and the muffuletta wasn’t heated all the way through.
The gelato and bakery case in the front were honestly a little underwhelming. I’m sure the Italian cookies and gelato that they had were good though. We didn’t try any desserts.
There is plenty of parking across the street in the open public lot. They are open every day until 9pm.

spaghetti and meatballs were awesome !
make sure to get the sea salt caramel gelato for dessert

Italian is not my number one choice. This sits next to another Italian place in Kenner. My first thought was, it’s not going to be that good. I was wrong, my husband ordered chicken parm and I got shrimp Diablo. Awesome awesome awesome! We will be back to try everything in the menu!

Good food. Stuffed artichoke was nice and garlicky like I like. Tiramisu was tasty too. My Ma said it tasted different than last time, must be different BOH.

We were passing this place & was craving something sweet so we stopped had no idea what to expect. We purchased two delicious cannoli’s. The owner was very nice. We will definitely go back for Italian food.
