14 Best Italian Restaurants near Denham Springs

“The appetizers were awesome! The next time we go we will order from the appetizers and split them. Eggplant parmesan was absolutely amazing! The complimentary bread seasoned with olive oil, herbs and parmesan cheese was the best I have ever had. I was disappointed in the Chicken Marsala. It was bland and lacked the rich flavor of the same dish I have enjoyed at Carrabba's in Baton Rouge. We will give them a 2nd try though.“

“My first time to dine at Cafe Phoenicia was a very good dining experience. The food was all top notch and very tasty. The service was superb. We had a very sweet and helpful waitress. I will definitely recommend Cafe Phoenicia and will eat there again in the future.“

“Love the chicken Cesar salad but the last couple of times I got it the dressing is different and it’s not good. The chicken is also not as good idk what was changed but it needs to go back to how it was.“

“Honestly, the best authentic Italian food I have eaten. Even better than the well known, very pricy restaurants in BR. So far, Everything I have had has been delicious. My husband and I have started ordering different dishes and sharing just so we can try everything! If you haven’t been there yet, you need to go.“

“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“

“Food is absolutely delicious. the sauce is perfection and I always look forward to going there with a big group. Happy taste buds, Happy life! 😋“

“We had an incredible experience at Portobello’s Grill . The staff and food were incredible. They helped accommodate my daughter’s birthday party and without a doubt, met her expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to hold an event.“

“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.“

“Ruffino’s is just a great place all around. The food’s always spot-on, the drinks are excellent, and the service is hard to beat. Everyone there is friendly, quick, and makes you feel welcome every time.

My wife loves the Bubble Bath — it’s one of her favorites — and I usually go for the Old Fashioned made with Blanton’s. The fish Katie’s is my go-to, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The specials are always solid, especially if you catch the butter steak — that one’s amazing.

It’s one of our favorite places to go for birthdays, anniversaries, or just when we want a really good meal in a great atmosphere. Highly recommend Ruffino’s.“

“Had a great experience here today. The soup, salad, and breadsticks lunch was superb. The Zupps Tusacana soup was perfect, the salad was plentiful and well dressed, and the breadsticks were warm and fresh. Richard was an excellent waiter. He was attentive, highly responsive, and completely on the ball. I would recommend going here for lunch anytime!“

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