Deanie's Sea Food Kitchen

For over 50 years, Deanie's Seafood has been serving up authentic New Orleans seafood with Louisiana heart. Born from a family lineage of Sicilian farmers, cooks, and restaurateurs, our roots run deep in the rich culinary traditions of this vibrant city. We're proud to carry on this legacy, combining fresh, wild-caught Gulf seafood with local, scratch-made sides, all prepared with the passion and authenticity that only comes from generations of experience.

Our story began with Frank and Barbara Chifici, who instilled in us the importance of using only the highest quality ingredients and preparing each dish with care and dedication. This commitment to quality and freshness has been the cornerstone of Deanie's Seafood since day one, and it's what has allowed us to become a beloved institution in New Orleans and beyond.
