With that said, the lasagna is an insult in so many ways it's unbelievable. Two noodles with literally a paper thin layer of ricotta between them and the same layer of sauce on top then literally 2 inches of cheese baked in an oven. What you end up with is a pan of cheese with a little flavour with overcooked noodles lining the bottom of the pan. Avoid the Lasagna, they should remove it from the menu or have someone come help them. Thankfully the service was especially great or the review would have been a total failure.

The server took drink orders 2-3 at a time and would then bring them. It took over 10 mins for me to get my drink. I was so excited for the food. It looked fantastic.

Everyone was so helpful and enthusiastic, and it was clear they truly care about creating a memorable experience for their guests. I visited during Restaurant Week, and the menu was outstanding. I ordered the arancini, steak medallions, and chocolate torte, and every course was spectacular. Nino's truly knows how to deliver exceptional Italian cuisine. I would honestly rank it as my favorite Italian restaurant in Baton Rouge. Shannon, one of the owners, was especially knowledgeable, welcoming, and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. My only hope is that they continue to grow and expand so they can keep serving the Baton Rouge community for years to come. I can't wait to come back!

Since Shannon and her husband purchased Nino's, there has been a definite revival of the establishment. The food has improved with each visit - it's such a personal experience for the pallet. There is no possible way to pick a favorite dish, but from the regular menu, the Bolognese, Chicken Scallopini, Ribeye, and Lombardia are my favorite. There are seasonal soups and other specials. All of the desserts are wonderful - the cookies are perfectly done, and they are chosen most of our visits. Their cocktails are outstanding and they can help pair with your dish if you ask. The wines....oh the wines.... there are some gems on the bottle list, and their by the glass are also great. Reservations are strongly recommended, and when you make them, let them know if you are celebrating an event. You will also likely be visited by the owners while you dine. The pride they take in their restaurant is obvious, and there are exciting updates to come!

The temperature of the inside was a bit on the chilly side, so a light sweater or jacket would be needed. Everything was so nice and would def return the next we are in BR.

It's beautiful inside and the service was impeccable. Servers were at our beck and call. The atmosphere is very pleasant and comfortable, it was a perfect place for a nice celebratory dinner. I ordered the shrimp carbonara and my hubby got the pizza. It was fine. I wasn't disappointed, I just also wasn't super impressed. For the price we were paying, I expected to be blown away by the food. And it was just okay. Someone in our party ordered the veal chop, they said the meat was fine. However, it was more pink than he would've liked. They never asked him what temp he would like. Maybe the restaurant serves it all the same, either way, just not great food. The bread though. It was fantastic. So yummy. Served with olive oil and herbs. We chowed down on that. But for an upscale restaurant, I need more than just the bread to be superb. I'd be willing to go back and try something else. The service and atmosphere were fantastic and I heard the lasagna and spaghetti bolognese were delicious.

This is a great restaurant for families to go to, and it's got a casual atmosphere with excellent service. The owner always remembers who we are and I appreciate that. I will say that as somebody that used to be married to a Sicilian that it's not the most epic Italian food in the world. if you are an Italian food connoisseur, it's not going to blow your mind but it's a solid choice if you were looking for reasonably priced and very consistent good homemade Italian food.

Service was friendly and offered several great suggestions along the way. It was not a rushed dinner and you could tell they really wanted you to be there and enjoy their experience. We opted for the $30 mystery bottle of wine which was such a fun treat. For an appetizer we opted for the seasonal seafood wontons. My wife orders the tour of Italy to get a sampling of everything, I order the filet with crab hollandaise. For dessert he turtle cheesecake, though our waiter really suggested the lemon raspberry cake, we will check that out next time. The filet was honestly, hands down, the best filet I've had in Baton Rouge, and in my top three of all time. The crab hollandaise was piled high with so much lump crab meat I couldn't believe it, and the steak was cooked perfectly to temperature. Highly recommend.
