Wanted to try something local so we took an uber out to Casanova's for lunch. Crawfish was awesome, fried catfish and poor boys also amazing. The service was even better than the food. The seating inside is limited but fit our group of 6 just fine. Also the prices are half what they are in the French Qtr. Worth a trip. read more

Outstanding food! Great service and a friendly atmosphere. Came in with a large group and they were more than willing to accommodate us and made an effort to make us feel welcome. read more

The shrimp poboy was amazing! The best hole in the wall seafood place! Highly recommend!! The ladies working the register were so kind and patient! A group of 15 of us came in and they were nothing but nice! read more

Best seafood boils ever! I lived in the area in 2009 and use to get seafood here. I've since moved back to Alabama. Me and my family literally make the 5 hour day trip drive JUST to load up on seafood and come right back home to Alabama. It's THAT good! Leaving this review since I checked the hours because I'm driving down Saturday to load up. My sister just came back last weekend from getting seafood here now it's my turn to make the trip and I can't wait. We don't care about the French quarter, we go to Louisiana only for Casanova! read more

Its a hole in the wall outside of New Orleans. They have fresh caught seafood daily...that's what makes it so inexpensive! Crawfish was like 5 bucks a pound, I got 2 and was satisfied...the potatoes were good (you get a little bag for like a dolla) and same with the corn...which was a bit overdone and gummy too me...but the crawfish were the main stage...good size, and seasoned VERY nicely with a zesty lemon finish. My gf got fried shrimp platter...we both had beers...only 35 bucks!!!! Cant beat that with a stick. So if in Nola..check this little joint out. read more

Casanova's Seafood - Crawfish! - Seafood Near Me - Saint Bernard, Louisiana

Hole in the wall that you can easily miss - but DON'T. Fresh seafood, one of the best po'boys I have had, and near St. Bernard State Park where we were camping. Get there early to get the best selection, and they close at 7. Limited menu, but all fantastic. Few tables - we opted for takeout. I had the hushpuppies (again, some of the best I have had) and the shrimp po'boy (they were already out of oysters. The bread was perfectly sauced, the shrimp perfectly fried, moist, with just a hint of spice. Dressed perfectly so you could still taste the shrimp. I will definitely be making a trip or two back while here! read more

This place is way off the beaten path but is as authentic as you can get for a Louisiana crawfish and crab boil. Delicious, and tons of food for low prices. One of our family's favorite restaurants on our trip down South. read more

The family and I stopped by here for po boys while camping down the road at St Bernard State Park. The seafood was fresh and the bread was perfect! Prices have gone up, but these days everything is more expensive! Not much to see inside...order to go and find a nice quiet spot to enjoy or take home. Staff was very friendly and food came out quick. Don't sleep on this spot if you're in the area and looking for a great po boy or fried seafood basket! read more

Tried to place an order, left on hold for 10 minutes then was disconnected. Tried to call back and their phone was left off hook for over an hour. They definitely do not know customer service. read more

Amazing! Don't miss this family business with delicious fresh seafood. I had a mixed boiled plate with crawfish, crab and shrimp (prawns). Scrumptious boiled with mild Cajun spices. Had a great chat with the owners; very friendly and knowledgeable. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend. We'll be going back while we're in town. read more

It is by far one of the best sea food places in the Parish. The food is all made to order and the people working there are the great.

The best shrimp po boy I have ever eaten. The Crawfish was so fresh and good. It was fantastic! It is just an awesome locally owned place to eat. read more

Fresh tasteful friendly Would recommend anyone in area or visiting stop in or call ahead !! Good eating ..... read more

Best poor boys in New Orleans. We had the fish and the shrimp just perfect! Crawfish were great, a little spicy, so don't order them if you don't want spice. Finish up with pralines( you don't want to miss them). Prices are great and the ladies were wonderful! Our favorite place to eat! read more

They sure know how to boil seafood. It's not to spicy and not to bland. It's just right. The service is good. The ambiance well who cares about that when the food is so good and reasonable priced. read more

Best wrong turn gem ever. Just driving and caught the colorful building on the side. Decided to stop and so glad we did. Great seafood. You can taste how fresh the seafood is!!! Shrimp potatoes corn hush puppies fried okra, yep we had some of all of it. Then I find out about a magical potato sandwich I have to come back for. Bought some seasoning and lemon oil to take home and of course shrimp taters and corn for the road. This is a must!! read more

Food is very good. Speedy service. Cozy corner to eat in if you desire. Staff is very friendly.

Our family was on a quick drive through St. Bernard's Parish to visit a childhood home of my husband's. On our way back to NO we saw Casanova's on the left. I joked that I bet it got 5 stars on yelp. My husband said check and we were all blown away and laughing when they DID have all 5 stars! We turned around and went back. We ordered crawfish, shrimp and snow crab (and an order of hush puppies). Everything was wonderful. Once again yelp reviews got us to go to a spot we never would have tried! Quick note: it is NOT really a restaurant more like a seafood "to go" place. I was surprised to see the food lined up in plastic bags on the counter. Do not expect any ambiance but since we were far from our rental we ate on some tables provided in the back. read more

I absolutely love the crawfish, boiled shrimp and crab legs from Casanova's. Whether you are looking for seafood to boil yourself with some of their delicious seasoning or you'd rather let someone else do the work, Casanova's is the place to go. They also have a variety of po-boys, fried seafood platters and appetizers, but I've never had any of them because I can't go without leaving with the delicious boiled seafood. read more

Holy sh*t.... Tulane senior that just got done fishing at Hopedale Marina with some buddies. The shrimp po boy from here is the best sandwich I've ever eaten. I've never left a food review in my life but it seemed criminal to not shout this place out. read more

Great selection. Family neigjborhood grocery store. Bakery and hot food line are a plus.

Best crawfish around.. Even as a master boiler when I don't want to cook them this is the place to go!!! Love the lemon accents in their boil! read more

My first trip to St. Bernard Parish was to volunteer with post-Katrina rebuilding, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life, thanks in part to the hospitality and well-told stories of Casanova himself, so to speak. Three of us departed Camp Hope intent on trying crawfish for the first time. We went to Casanova's which we thought was a restaurant, and it does have tables to sit and eat, but it's mostly a seafood shop and we arrived just 15 minutes before closing. No matter, Robert and Judy Casanova welcomed us with open arms and served up a delicious boil of crawfish, shrimp, corn, and sausage. YUM! The corn and sausage were especially delicious. But best of all was the company itself, and we all had a great evening chatting away. Them's good people. Now when I return to "da Parish" I try to stop in for some take-out corn and sausage (I haven't been back in crawfish season yet), or a snowball if the stand is open. You should stop in too. read more

People can argue all day about who makes the best crawfish. As far as I'm concerned the argument starts and ends with Casanova's. Outstanding. Don't bother trying other places, just go straight here. Crawfish, potatoes, and corn were great. Oh, and the prices can't be beat. Love this place. read more

Casanova's Seafood - Before and after - Seafood Near Me - Saint Bernard, Louisiana

Got an order of seafood balls & hushpuppies- both were pretty dang tasty! The balls (I believe) are jst the crab stuffing battered & fried. Golden brown & light- as opposed to dense w too many bread crumbs, these are fairly rich- in a good way! Hushpuppies may actually b homemade- sweet & crunchy w pieces of corn. If not, I wish everyone bought from their supplier :) Cocktail sauce is good, slight bit of heat, but more from hot sauce than horseradish- I cld hv taken more horseradish in mine. The tartar sauce was good, but a tad sweet for my preference. My guess: cocktail homemade, tartar store bought Regardless, they were very generous w the portions :) Service was very friendly & efficient Don't believe they have seating, unless I wasn't paying attention I had called my order in to go Didn't realize they had more than fresh & boiled seafood, it's relatively new development. So unfortunately I'd already bought a togo lunch elsewhere. I can't wait to try some of the other food! read more

Best seafood on the parish IMHO.. always seasoned perfectly! Sometimes it's necessary to call ahead to order seafood .. Especially during lent. read more

Great place to get boiled crawfish! We've been getting crawfish from them for nearly 5 years and they are always very consistent with their seasoning and boiled to perfection. We've tried crawfish at different places in the city but now we only get them from Casanova's. I've had their lunch plates and they are good also. They have about 4 or 5 tables so you can dine in. Very friendly family owned business. read more

Very satisfied when getting my live seafood from there. Its readily available and consistent quality.

For the most part they are good... But one time I went there for crawfish and they gave me 2 pounds of mostly Crawfish heads

Awesome food! Great seasoning! This is a must go to! Staff is very friendly. Food is very reasonably priced! We enjoyed it so much we took some Togo! Best hush puppies and fried okra I have ever eaten! read more

We ate here during the crawfish festival in Chalmette in March. Delicious crawfish, shrimp and all the sides. Great prices too!!! We will always come here from now on when in the area. read more

Best crawfish I have ever had. We adore Casanova's and have come here every time we visit New Orleans. It is always worth the trip from wherever we are staying. Sadly when we were in the city last they were closed for the holidays. Our tastebuds cried a little, because we love it sooooo much. read more

Great crawfish, not to mention all the fixings. So good that I decided to go back and try a po'boy. It was just as good as the crawfish. It was so stutffed that I could only manage to eat half of it! Sometimes you need to call ahead to be sure they have enough crawfish if you have a large order, especially during lent but it's worth the call. read more

Not open on Mondays and they close early, so be sure to get there when they're open! Best fried fish in town and generous portions as well. Also they have half ears of corn on the cob (frozen or cooked), great shrimp(w/heads), and sausage, boiled potatoes etc. we're going back! read more

Hands down best seafood restaurant in the area! I've been to them all, none of them have signature seasoning and fresh "off the boat and down ya throat" seafood from the local fishing industry. Fresh seafood is what they do! Call ahead for pick up, they only make a certain amount in batches, once it's gone, it's gone. read more

Possibly THE BEST seafood I've ever had, granted I am from Tennessee. First vacation to NOLA, & the best food hands down we've had so far. The boiled snow crab, blue crab, & shrimp are outta this world! I'm not a big touristy person on vacation, so I searched for something different & found seafood heaven! Stopping before we leave for Tennessee to try their fried crab claws! Oh, & BTW the staff is so humble & nice! Wonderful experience! read more

This is perfect if you're looking for reasonably priced no nonsense seafood. The boiled shrimp and crawfish are not to be missed. Enjoy!
