They had a vegetarian menu - which had a variety of pasta options. In addition to the vegetarian menu, other items like salads on their regular menu are vegetarian as well. Their pasta is all homemade and it tasted amazing. I got the burrata salad, of which I requested beets be added to - delicious. Then the vegetarian baked ziti - of good size and definitely shareable, I ended up bringing a box home, also delicious. Their wine and cocktails list was pretty extensive as well. Ample free onsite parking. Whether you're looking for the perfect date night spot, girls nice dinner spot, or elevated family dinner - this is the place. 12/10!!!

Nino's 7512…read moreBluebonnet Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA 70810 IG:Tonylameats My last Restaurant Week pick done RIGHT at Nino's! I started off with that melt in your mouth Caesar carpaccio (raw ribeye but make it fancy) and those crispy crab arancini with the rich smoked tomato hollandaise; straight flavor bombs. For the main, the squid ink spaghetti with shrimp + jalapeño pesto was DIFFERENT in the best way! And that veal milanese over red wine risotto? Crispy, tender, and packed with flavor every bite. Dessert sealed the deal! King Cake panna cotta with orange curd was smooth, creamy, and perfect for Mardi Gras season. Plus that mascarpone cheesecake was light, rich, and straight dangerous. $62 for this whole experience during Restaurant Week is a STEAL!

If you don't like garlic in your food I would avoid this spot! I would come back during a less busy time of the day.

They moved into a new location at Jones Creek. The new restaurant is beautiful on the bar side. The other side is a HUGE dining room for large groups and families with children. There is plants of parking but it's still a crowded parking lot.We have tried to go 4 times. We succeeded once on a Thursday at 5:30. The food was excellent. I had a personal vegetarian pizza and hubs had eggplant parm. Prices are very reasonable. I love their food and waitstaff is excellent- the 20 and 30 minute wait times not so much. Even the bar was SRO. It is a testament to their quality that it takes an act of DOG to get seated quickly. (I'm usually hangry when I get off work.I want to getting fed in 20 or 30 minutes, not just be seated and they don't take reservations. That being said, if you don't mind the wait, the food is always fresh, made to order. The quality is consistent and they are now even open limited hours on Sunday which is a nice brunch alternative. I am really happy for their success. It is well deserved. If you aren't in a hurry, you won't be disappointed!

I've been here 5 times since it opened its new location. I get the same thing pretty much every…read moretime. Wine ofc, meatballs eggrolls, & Italian sandwich with bistro salad as a side. Our server was absolutely horrible last night. We will not be coming back due to how badly the service was handled. Out server on our ticket was JaNet A. I am giving the 2 stars instead of the one solely because i do love my food. if you sit on the left hand side of the restaurant the noise carries and it can get really loud. The place was not packed to set the tone. When we ordered our drinks my dad asked if she had grapefruit juice-depending on the answer was going to depend on what he was going to order. She took a while to come back for an answer- When she delivers my daughters food- she then confirms there is not grapefruit juice. We order eggrolls - She does not deliver them to us. - another server did. There is a hole in the wall when you sit on the left hand side that connects to the bar to what I assume the servers can order drinks. We can see her talking and talking. Mind you it has been 40 minutes since our SALAD had been ordered. We asked another server to go get her. The other server tells our server "hey your table is asking for you" and she raises her finger to the sever telling her "one more minute." Mind you she is not serving the people she is socializing with. We order our salad which is supposed to come before our entree especially since he got a pasta entree. When she comes we state we have been waiting 40 minutes for a salad and her response was "Well I did put your food order in" She then goes to the back and pops out with both the salad and the pasta. My dad states the salad is supposed to come before my meal?? what is happening to which she states that she can just bring the pasta in the back until he's done with the salad or he can just not eat at all. LIKE WHAT??? A manager had to take it off the ticket which is more disappointing that he did not take it upon himself to say I'm sorry or anything. THEN my sandwich and salad comes which makes me wonder why is my sandwich taking longer than a pasta dish. Unfortunately I did not trust for her to take my food in the back to box it herself since there was so much tension so I asked for a box. We got there at 6:30 and stayed until 8:30 to only get one drink - one app and one sandwich with salad. & my daughter got buttered noodles

My husband had the blue crab gnocchi which he devoured. We fly into town for family often and are excited to make this a regular stop for us. We had our 5 year old with us who fell asleep on the way to the restaurant. They were very considerate and placed us in a booth so she could sleep. The bartender even gave us her child's blanket to keep her warm while we enjoyed our meal and drinks. What a wonderful and relaxing end to our day. Thank you so much!

The bread service is always such a great start to the meal and the drinks are consistently excellent. The service is also very attentive.

This time I ordered the fish on a plank and it was honestly some of the best fish I've ever had. Everything about the meal and the experience was wonderful.

New location is very nice. The chicken primavera with pink…read moresauce (vodka sauce) is really good. I'll come back for that, and hope the service we had this time was a fluke. The service this time was not good. Not good at all. After being seated, getting bread and drinks, our waiter disappeared. After half-an-hour, we asked someone else if they could find her. She came and apologized that she had forgotten about us. We ordered and waited another half-an-hour for one dish. My wife and I shared a plate of chicken primavera, and it took them a half-hour to prepare it. I am a fan of the slow pace of European restaurants, and we did enjoy a nice visit while waiting. And I got to see most of the second half of the Music City Bowl, and watch Tennessee make a solid run at a come-from-behind win (they almost did it, too). But if you want faster service, maybe check on your waiter sooner. And I will say it again - that vodka sauce is worth coming back for, and worth keeping the original four stars I gave them on the premise that our service was a fluke. Oh, and the complimentary piece of cheesecake was nice, too - rich and creamy.

When we entered the restaurant the hostess stand was super friendly as usual. Unfortunately, our table was miserably small and in very close proximity to a large table and a wall which essentially made us "sandwiched in". The noise in the room was horribly loud and hard to have a conversation with our guests. The server was fine however, was not as friendly as we are used to and that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the man refilling our water was fabulous, upbeat and very courteous. The food was amazing and is always consistent! When we are spending $150 on a check for 2, I want the entire fabulous dining experience which I had always felt like I got in the past. Anyway, to reiterate, I love the location, the vibe, the delicious food. Just was not a good choice for conversation and personal space. Also, even though the server was efficient, we did not get that warm and friendly vibe we are used to.
