Best Italian Restaurants in Kenner

This is our second time at Irene’s and it doesn’t disappoint! Excellent service every time. This time we were taken care of by the amazing Brandon. You can tell he enjoys his craft and dealing with people. His description of the culinary options was nothing short of artistic. He made great recommendations and gave us excellent service and a fun time!!! The food was excellent as always. I had one of the specials, a whole fried moon fish that was flaky and very tasty, without having to add anything, not even lemon. The ambience in this place is incredible with old fashioned tunes like Sinatra playing in the background at all times, at just the right volume! Enjoy!!!

Excellent meal. Great atmosphere. All the food was delicious - meatballs, pasta wheel and lamb shank were standouts. The service was very good.

We were there to celebrate 4 birthdays, the waitress took her time to explain the menu to us and didn't feel rush to place our entree order. Overall, everything was excellent we will definitely go back.

Start of the evening was a bit shaky, as we sat for 10 min. before the host noticed we had not even gotten water, or been seen by the server, but he was apologetic and things quickly improved. The restaurant is NOT a place for a quiet dinner for two--it is very "high energy" (loud!) Cocktails were well-made and tasty. The two different pasta dishes we had were very good, with the pasta itself perfectly cooked. Grilled Napa lettuce appetizer was delicious as well. The Barbera by the glass was a nice wine. Panna Cotta dessert was delicious. Overall, a very good meal- we will return (I want to try the pizzas, which looked great).

The Oysters Severn were epic. The peas au gratin were delightful. Nate’s service was inimitable, fun and whimsical. All around great!
