Finally went to Cena last night – and was not dissapointed. We got lucky and scored an inside table with no reservation right before the dinner rush. We started with a watermelon martini and an old fashioned. Neither of us are drink conisseurs but found both to be good. We ordered the fried caciocavallo to start. It’s fried cheese. It’s not going to blow you away, but it won’t hurt your feelings. The included chili sauce – a little goes a long way. The honey is there but for my tastes I’d liked it to be a little more prominent – but overall it was a good starter. I had the pork osso bucco and it was excellent. The pork fell from the bone easily but still maintained great texture and was not mushy. Was perfectly flavorful and when combined with the risotto made for an excellent comfort food experience. My girlfriend had the shrimp and grits and this was one of the few times she has ever cleaned a plate. She was a big fan. We finished up with a couple of night caps. Mine was an Italian coffee. It was warm, sweet, and great for sipping over conversation. Service was very attentive and friendly. We’ll be back.

Food, service, and atmosphere is excellent. The fish of the day is always fantastic! This is one of our go to spots in Hammond. Chance and his staff always strive to make your dining experience memorable.

The restaurant was very hot inside. We had the meatball appatizer. Meatballs were very small and had no taste. I ordered the pappardelle and there was very little sauce. It was dry and had no seasoning. We had to ask fir salt and pepper. Just terrible. Over priced and under whelping in taste. Will not return.

Truly incredible. This place is a must-visit. The pork osso buco was so tender and juicy that you didn’t even need a knife. The bed of parmesan risotto was good (but nothing special) UNTIL you combined it with the pork, marrow, and sauces. Then it became more than just a symphony… it became a true philharmonic experience on the taste buds. The pork, marrow, gremolata, pesto, marinara, and risotto all complimented each other flawlessly. It was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The tiramisu for dessert was very light and good, but ultimately underwhelming. Next time I will try a different dessert. Cena is an experience that you shouldn’t miss out on.

First time here. Went on a Saturday around 2 and it was not busy. Ordered the meat and cheese plate, and then I got the gulf crab napoleon, which was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Hubby got spaghetti carbonara, which he loved. Will be back. Great friendly service!

A must try! Tried many of the dishes here with my party and none was a disappointment. Our server also was able to suggest wines that were to our tastes. Really a superb service and experience.

So we ate at Cena’s Italian restaurant and the atmosphere and had good food not to mention how friendly the people were. My wife and I loved it. We would definitely go back. Everything was beautiful and the proportions was good. The only downside is the total cost is not possible to do once a week or even once a month for us. This was a special occasion as it was our 20th wedding anniversary and we want to have a nice sit down dinner with a chance to relax and relish the idea of being able to be in romantic setting.

Cena was recommended to us by one of our clients, and I’m glad they did! Wonderful spin on Italian cuisine and great wine choices! Very professional staff who love to talk food!

This place quickly became my favorite place in Hammond to eat. We are there at least once a week, usually 3-4 times a week. They actually cook real food in the kitchen, not just drop some pre packaged or frozen foods on a pan or into some grease. Pasta made from scratch IN HOUSE! Fresh herbs chopped daily, fresh veggies, fish specials on what ever is fresh that day on top of their phenomenal regular menu! Home made cheesecakes, I could eat the whole thing. I’ve had everything on the menu (except the kids menu*), literally! Everything!! Its ALL good! Oh, the drinks…the drinks are so yummy!! Staff is top notch!
