Brick Oven Cafe - Kenner

Dinner by myself in the Big Easy. Off to a rough start confusion on who should wait on me and extended time +5 minutes to get first wait staff to acknowledge me and take drink order. I ordered the fresh hot toasted bread it is served with cold hard butter I sent it back. I ordered the soup of the day it was served lukewarm, I asked for hot soup. New cup was hot. I ordered the shrimp scampi , a cream garlic based sauce, full of flavor and spiced just right. Big pieces of shrimp. The manager/cook (Tony) came out to talk to me and explained what is going on in back of house two new servers. It's all good I told him I just wanted to bring it to a manager attention. Tony offered me a dessert an Italian cannoli with a French twist on the presentation and colors. The dining room has a very festive Italian decor and cozy atmosphere. Lots of vintage bottles of wines and oils on display. Overall not a bad dining experience just a bumpy start that ended on a positive note. If you're in the neighborhood I recommend you give this place a try.

This place is huge. Plenty of parking. There is plenty of seating inside if you have a big group. Nice itlaian decor throughout. Service treated you like family. Nice clean bathrooms. The food was mediocre, though, and the pricing was high. We had fun and enjoyed the experience. But overall, it wasn't the best Italian restaurant I have been to.

I don't know what happened to this place. I been getting their margarita pizza for years. Got one yesterday was terrible. The crust was rubbery with no flavor. The sauce was hardly noticeable and the cheese was just enough. They had some basil on it but even that was tasteless. The pizza was $22 and I gave them $30 and to keep the change. It's not about the money but the loss of a good pizza.

Let me say the best puttanesca I've had in my life was here. We had the margarita pizza and it was thin, Crispy and just right. My server was so warm and kind Lisa, do yourself a favor and ask for her. She made all the right suggestions and the ambience was very nice and cozy. Make sure you come hungry because the portions are hefty, you def pay for the amount of food you get. Overall I'd def return here and strongly recommend.

Decided to give brick oven cafe a try. The Caesar salad was good but dressing was extremely light and not Caesar style at all. The lettuce was crisp and fresh. The eggplant parmigiana was fried to death served with low quality tasting cheese and cafeteria sauce. The pasta you could tell was cooked way prior because it was so wet and over done that water pooled under the sauce. It was truly inedible. I asked for some bread because I couldn't eat my meal and it was a $1 charge. My waitress Lauren was super nice and attentive.
