Old School New Orleans as I remember it, from my first visit back in the early nineties. I returned for the oysters and spaghetti, yeah I left completely enamored with the oyster stew and one of the best cup of coffee in New Orleans and that saying something. As magazine Street turns into an open-air mall of expensive clothing boutiques, this is a reminder that New Orleans was once the funkiest of American cities we’re the best inexpensive food.

Casamento’s is literally a step back in time, a rare gem that was established in 1919 by two Italian immigrant brothers, a tradition carried forward by the 4 family generations that followed. The brilliant foresight of the original Casamento brothers in using Italian tile for the decor, floor to ceiling, which remains intact over 100 years later. Wonderfully simple, but most excellent menu with very tasty grilled oysters the Loaf sandwiches cut by hand from the loaf, hence the name. The fried seafood, oysters, soft shell crabs, catfish, shrimp, etc. is lightly breaded, always my preference. You really feel like part of the family here even if its your first ever visit. Come often as its literally an original.

Definitely a popular restaurant. When we arrived on a Friday evening around 6 pm we were met with a small line of folks ahead of us. The speed of the line went fairly slower than expected. The small, old fashioned and almost antique feeling cafeteria-like restaurant had each table filled. It’s a small, divey joint that transports you back to the early days. Subway tiles cover the walls in a classic style and are rumored to be imported from Italy.
I love dive bars and divey restaurants. This place had just a touch too much of that for my taste. The restaurant was moving from divey, to dirty, and almost, unkept.
I am a huge fan charbroiled oysters and had to try Casamento’s restaurant as one of the more popular and famous places for oysters in NOLA.
We ordered two dozen charbroiled ($24.75 ea) (one for each of us), two beers and a side of coleslaw ($2 for a 2 oz serving). Our server was friendly and our order came out promptly.
These oysters didn’t have any charbroiled taste. They lacked greatly in flavor. The cheese wasn’t melted, the oysters were warm, not hot. Overall, they were quite disappointing from a place that are “known” for their oysters. These oysters were more like baked oysters that came from an under-heated oven rather than charbroiled over flames. The coleslaw was simple and tasted as expected but in a smaller than expected portion for the price.
Overall, Casamento’s may have a place in the history books of serving oysters in NOLA and maybe they serve up a decent order of raw oysters on the half shell. However, as far as charbroiled oysters, there are many other establishments in the local area that serve up a much tastier plate.

Wonderful experience! First time to this restaurant which did not disappoint. I am GF and the calamari was sublime – husband not GF and loved it too. Had delish fried shrimp and it has been so long since I last had fried shrimp – one of my all time fave foods. The ambiance perfect, service wonderful and can’t wait to go back.

I’ve really tried to enjoy this place, but the food has been a unmitigated disaster. The oysters are rubbery, small, & inedible. It hurt me to give up & not even eat them all considering they aren’t cheap.
I’ve visited three times, trying different dishes each time, hoping to find something that was at least okay. I really want to like Casamento’s, especially since the inside is so charming and the staff is generally friendly. I’m just scratching my head about why the food is consistently terrible. I have reasonably low standards and it’s a pity when a restaurant can’t meet them after 3 separate attempts.

To me, there is nothing quite as cool as a great family-owned restaurant that has been running for generations. New Orleans has quite a few, and tiny Casamento’s on Magazine at Napoleon is one. Founded in 1919, the original Casamento couple lived upstairs, as did a few later generations. You can easily meet members of the 4th generation working there now, and the 5th generation is coming up now.
Casamento’s has a small menu of delicious fried seafood. We had the trout and the shrimp, and both were fabulous. Their French fries are properly fresh-cut, and the coleslaw is the creamy sweet variety – delicious.
I don’t know who originated the charbroiled oysters dish, and lots of folks swear by the ones at Drago’s in the riverfront Hilton. My money is on Casamento’s. Large, plump, fantastic.
The staff is warm and welcoming and loyal. I’d go there all the time if I lived in NOLA!

Absolutely adore this place. Like stepping back in time. Super old school New Orleans oyster joint. I like them raw, but they’re also known for fried. Tile everywhere, mechanical cash register. Cash only. Not to be missed.

Best just admire this place from the outside. It ain’t happening anymore. From the outside you think you’ve found a treasure from 60 years ago and indeed this place might have been good 35 years ago. I remember simple family places that served the Best food. But this was not good none of it . overcooked grilled oysters, the fried oysters of no particular flavor and the awful spaghetti and meatballs. The meatball was ok but the sauce onion and sugar hardly cooked. Atmosphere – besides the old worn out tables and chairs – two tv’s one in each little room. – so no escaping them. But at least it wasn’t too loud. The oyster soup tasted good but was watery and had maybe three oysters in it. So I gave two stars. And Cash only? Hmmm. Why would that be?

Came here for the nostalgia. Saw it on diners driveins and dives twice. The owner is very nice. Had the charbroiled oysters, fried crab claws, and a local strawberry beer. Crab claws were good. They make them in a old pot and fry to perfection. The oysters were fresh, however i would recommend they use more butter and garlic and less cheese. Great spot on magazine street to eat. SPOILER ALERT: CASH ONLY

This place is incredible. Classic hole in the wall local NOLA joint and it’s amazing! Staff is incredibly kind, gluten free fried seafood and it’s amazing. The chargrilled oysters were so good we had to order another plate. Crab and calamari were so good as well. Fresh horseradish was the perfect sauce mixed with the hot vinegar. Can’t wait to return here.
