26 Best Italian Restaurants in Baton Rouge

“Visit Crust Pizza today . Got the lunch special, order chicken club and a 7 inch pizza . Very filling and delicious!! Highly recommend this place!!�“

“My husband and I went last night for an early Valentines dinner. We loved the small, yet quaint dining room, the atmosphere was perfect, the playlist for the background music was on point, Zack was our waiter and he was top notch. The food was AMAZING!! It is my new favorite date night restaurant. The new owners are very friendly and they are hands on. 10/10“

“Checked out the new Bistro Italia location and we loved it! We ordered the tomato basil soup, Big Lou pizza, Shrimp Primavera, and Diablo shrimp. Everything came out hot, was delicious and you could tell the ingredients were fresh! The team was friendly, the atmosphere was upscale but still very comfortable, and the prices are very reasonable (sharing the menu pics for anyone curious). The updated restaurant is beautifully done. Also love that it’s a family owned and run restaurant.“

“A few of our African Violet group members took a day trip from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to attend the Louisiana Lagniappe African Violet Show and Sale. I moved from BR 9 years ago, and realized that the deli was in a great location near our destination. We were greeted by two very kind young ladies! We receive prompt, friendly service and a delicious lunch! I had the pasta salad, which was wonderful! Two of my friends got the lasagna, and they enjoyed it too! Thank you for such a great dining experience! My friends all enjoyed it too!“

“Excellent food great service“

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience! Great food, friendly atmosphere, awesome staff! This is by far the best pizza in Baton Rouge!“

“Had dinner with friends last night at Gino’s, the food, service and atmosphere were awesome! I had the lasagna and it was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend it. Wait staff were very professional and friendly. Best of the best!“

“Great food and great service! Ask for Tye, and she’ll make your experience great!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love the atmosphere! The food was just okay! Not enough flavor in the veal Parmesan. Sauce was okay...not enough flavor in the tomato sauce. My fish Katy was very tender and cooked to perfection, but the sauce was blah. No real significant flavor. There was very good portion of crabmeat. 👍 The service was outstanding. Desert menu...I don't understand why a place with so much ambiance and notoriety doesn't serve bananas foster or cherrries jubilee! Or a sophisticated after dinner coffee. Therefore, it's just okay.“

“Superb Italian food . We stopped driving to New Orleans for Italian when we found Fratelli’s. Owner is excellent at finding a wine to match your dish and your palate at reasonable prices never stops surprising us with wine we have never experienced at reasonable prices.“

“Felix was an amazing host at Olive Garden! He greeted us with a warm smile, got us seated quickly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. His friendly personality, professionalism, and positive attitude really stood out. Felix helped make our visit memorable, and we look forward to coming back!“

“Favorite pizza place in the city! Love everything from the delicious pizza, pour your own beer, to the family friendly atmosphere complete with great hand washing robot machine thingy! And the staff are my favorite, such wonderful people work there! Can't say enough good things!!!“

“Always an excellent experience. Great food.“

“Delicious! The Bloody Mary’s are great.“

“My girls and I had our Galentine’s dinner at Pizza Art Wine. The food was excellent, the service was excellent. We enjoyed ourselves and I can’t wait to go back. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Don't eat here. One of the co-owners are the type to celebrate the death of a good man. No one should ever support a political assassination like this. But here is co-owner and executive chef Le Fort Erik Erik S LeFort Erik Lefort doing just that. No conservatives should ever spend here.“

“It’s good pizza…not earth shattering The service and smiles are great to see. Prices are fair. If I could suggest one thing, change the hamburger/beef topping. The pieces of beef are very small and dry. Please go for bigger portions regarding that. The Mike’s Hot Honey and pizza combo is terrific.“

“Every time we visit Reginelli's in Baton Rouge, we are never disappointed. We have been going for years. Tj was our sever the last few times and he has been awesome. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and a super waiter. The food is also been really god. We do miss the outside tables that was once there, but we understand the reasoning behind it. Thanks for being in Baton Rouge.“

“Awesome place for the per game meal!!!!“

“For a drive-through calzone place, it’s honestly not bad. I went in with pretty low expectations, and it ended up being better than I thought it would be.

This is definitely the kind of spot that makes sense after a night out or when you just want something quick, hot, and filling. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll probably enjoy it.

That said, if you come here expecting a gourmet experience, you’re probably going to be disappointed. It’s not fancy, but for what it is, it does the job.“

“Awesome place always enjoy the food also love the service nice very nice“

“Great food but amazing customer service. Our waiter Brian L. was really courteous and attentive, even though he was working by himself (as a cashier+waiter), he managed to take care of all his customers with a smile on his face, he made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. What an outstanding employee and an asset to the company. We will definitely be back to this Rotolo’s“

“After finishing an event at The Royal Standard we walked over to decompress from the long day. Highly recommend the spaghetti and meatball. Great service and atmosphere!!!“

“Always a great experience. The bread is unparalleled!! Bring your appetite! 🥂“

“Great place come see Wade!“
