“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“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“My wife and I just walked in early evening on a Friday, haven't been here in 10 years. What a mistake. I'm so upset I've missed out all this time. We were seated immediately. Our team of JP, Carson, and Kodi were phenomenal, Ill remember them and asked for them again if available.The drinks were 10/10, the food was even better. Take your pick of the oysters and get the cheesecake. If Grouper is an option it almost made my wife cry. Can't wait to come back and we're sorry we haven't been sooner“

“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!“

“I walked in as part of a large group but the workers very quickly took our orders and had the pizza out in just minutes. Very impressed with their efficiency

Matt and Jamar very thoroughly welcomed us in and served with a smile while having some pleasant conversation about our plans for the day and whatnot. (not the fake kind of obligatory customer service small talk)

While the food was excellent, the customer service from those two stood out the most.

If I owned or managed this place I’d made sure to do what I can to hold onto those guys. They represent your business very well.

Very pleasant all the way around, and I must give more credit to the pizza. It was high level restaurant quality pizza served in seconds.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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