Hidden gem! My friends and I had a casual dinner at Caetanos Cucina and we had a great time. We had a nice dinner, food was delicious and ambience was very pleasant. Alex was our server and took care of us. We had stuffed shrimp, chicken marsala, salmon , every dish was fresh and savory. We are definitely coming back soon. And it’s BYOB so you can bring your favorite bottle of wine.

Small quaint place in the back of the Sandwich shop. You're kind of skeptical walking in, but once you start eating, you realize why this place is so highly rated. Kind of reminds me of the speak easy vibe in NYC where you have to walk through the Pawn shop to get to it. The food is so much better than your first impression of the place. This place is great for small groups of up to 12 ppl (you could go larger, but you'd be taking up half the seating). Food was amazing and incredibly reasonably priced. BYOB helps too.

Had a wonderful dinner prepared by Caetano himself. There is a reason this place has a nearly perfect 5 star rating and vaguely reminded me of being @ the Cheers Bar. All the locals know Caetano and this place is a hidden gem worth traveling to enjoy! While there is no specific kids menu, they will prepare a delicious dish for their taste. Mine loved the penne alla vodka. The adults ordered the shrimp scampi and the filet mignon. All the dishes were cooked to perfection. You will not leave this place hungry or unsatisfied. Caetano cooks each dish with love!

Chef Caye has a hidden gem, and a great experience in fine dining. Our reservations were for 5PM, despite the restaurant not opening until 5:30. The interior is tastefully decorated, and the table set with elegance. This is a BYOB restaurant, and if I am eating good Italian food, I am drinking a good Chianti Classico. We had a delightful young lady who was an efficient server. I had to start with Clams Oreganato, which I do not see in New Orleans. Here, oysters are plentiful and the dish is usually a casserole. Chef Caye makes his version in the same manner we make Oysters Rockefeller or Bienville. Not only was this dish novel and creative, but it was a dish to be savored. A friend got a perfectly cooked steak, another got the Veal Parmesan, another the Chicken Marsala. Recently, a local

As promised, I am giving 5 stars for my experience at Caetona’s. My family and I loved each of our dishes and we made it a great time. The restaurant is on the quieter side but the food is worth it and made fresh with each order. Looking forward to trying more dishes. The owner is very cool and took the time to hang out with us as well as serve some of the dishes himself. Even as we were past the closing time, they never rushed us out. Byob is a plus!
