Pasta bowl

The pizza is good, lots of choices, nicely done , crispy thin crust, but the service is incredibly slow. Even when the restaurant is nearly empty. There are a lot of good pizza choices, and the crust is nice and crispy all the way through. The wings are decent, although the Thai hot chili sauce is mostly sweet, not much heat. But the service is incredibly slow. Come for the food, but only if you have time.

The location is in a great spot . Walking in the restaurant was very clean . The stuff was very helpful and inviting. The service was friendly, fast and nice. I placed my order. My pizza was very good. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. I will be back.

Gave this place another try. Still not good. When we got there, the staff just stared at us for a minute. Eventually someone walked over and slowly took our order. It took forever for them to make our pizza, and they still are VERY stingy with their toppings. (Unlike LIT, where they whip out those pizzas and are quite generous with the toppings). Another turn off, CHEESE counts as a topping. What's that about? Just allow 6 toppings and don't count cheese as one. Also, the pizza was not cooked well (veggies still relatively raw). And the overall flavor was only ok. I wouldn't waste my time here unless they change a lot of things, both concerning service and food.

Menu has lots to choose from

7-22-2021: After destroying a delicious Swamp Daddy I'm updating this review to a 5. Great service, delicious food, and impressed every guest I've brought here thus far. 6-11-2021: A delicious fig & pork pizza, Ghost In the Machine on tap, and I'm suppose to give this place a bad score because they just opened and their crew isn't running at 100%? Nah, in fact I'll keep it at a 4 until I get a few more visits to this fine establishment to determine consistency. We got a Fig-n Awesome pizza and a BBQ Chicken pizza: Their pizza crust has a nice chew, not too thick or thin, helping hold toppings well (other places in town have a problem with that.) The toppings we had were fully cooked and yummy, and the sauces on our pizzas were applied lightly as to not overpower the rest of the flavors going on (other places in town have a problem with that.) My patience was rewarded on this first visit as it took about 10 minutes from payment to pizza. I'm actually digging the creativity of their take on the small-build pizza shop as alot of the specialties here have a Cajun/Creole flair. Boudin pizza permanently on the menu? Crab, shrimp, and crawfish with sauce piquant as a base? Yeah, I'll be back - and I'll report how well they pair with a pint of Ghost

This place is legit and that's how I'm starting this review off. They recently just opened and I have seen a coworker/friend post about how good it was at the other location outside of BR so when they opened here I had to go try it out. Worth it. They have a beer wall (is this the new thing with all the new restaurants?) and kiosk you can order at without talking to anyone. A nice option if you don't want to be bothered or there is a long line. You can create your own pizza or pick a prefixed one. There are other options such as wings and I believe I saw bowls/salads so something for everyone. Ordering process was easy and the cashier answered all my questions without seeming annoyed which is a plus. We got our food pretty quick and it was good. It is similar to Lit but I give this place a step above. The pizza sauce and toppings are good! The crust is thin but it holds it better than most pizza spots like it. Big plus to me. Overall we spent a little bit more but the quality was there to cover it. They also have wings which is a score bc I like pizza and wings together. Would highly recommend this spot.

First started eating this in Lafayette, La when I lived there & it was my favorite. I love the specialty pizzas but you still have the "Create your own" option. The drink options for wine & beer is very extensive, I would love some lemonade for an option. The inside is super clean & the kid friendly hand washing station gets me every Time. This place was very clean & calm, I actually seen someone working inside! Great environment for that too.

I ordered through a food delivery app, so I can't speak to the service of the restaurant itself (the order was right and my driver didn't have any issues picking it up though). I can't really speak to the ambiance of the space either since I didn't go in person to pick it up. But the food was pretty good. I know that all pizza isn't created equal. I had never eaten here so I erred on the side of caution and got a basic set of toppings, and I thought it was pretty good. It tasted fresh and satisfied my craving for pizza.

BOGO Tuesday special offer when you sign up for their Loyalty Program via the Pizza Artists website.

Love Pizza Artista Baton Rouge! Super crisp crust and a multitude of topping options. Some toppings are what you'd see at any other pizza place, but others are more exotic like crawfish or Philly steak. They have a modest upcharge for the fancier toppings. They even have GREEN olives which I love since I can't stand black olives. Staff is super friendly and service is quick. The restaurant and restrooms are extremely clean and well maintained. Several TVs on the walls around the rooms. They seem to mostly play sports channels but I don't go on family day, where other channels may be run. They recently installed an interesting hand washing machine near the soda fountains. I'm guessing it's mostly for the kids that visit with their families because it's a no touch washing station - interesting and fun to use. For the adults they have on tap IPA beers, a fairly large variety. Just get a card when you order your pizza and you scan at each time you pull a glass (or partial glass) of a different beer, and you pay for whatever you've drunk/pulled before you leave. If you sign up for their loyalty program through their website, you'll get text messages regarding special offers. My favorite is the Tuesday special which is a buy one get one pizza free. I often eat one at the restaurant and then bring the other one home to warm up for lunch / dinner the next day. I've even put them in bags in the freezer to warm up later and they still taste yummy. As good or better then LIT pizza and with a loyalty program a better bargain if you take advantage of their texted specials.

Mac-N-Cheese Calzone
Jessica O.

Great service and food. This was my second time here. Excellent service both times. I liked the pizza I had last time, BBQ Chicken, better than the mac&cheese calzone, but it was still good. The calzone dough was very good, not too thick. Would def come again!

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!

La Divina has become one of my favorite places in Baton Rouge. I usually stop in for a dry…read morecappuccino, and it's consistently excellent. What keeps bringing me back, though, is the atmosphere. In the mornings, it's quiet, warm, and inviting--the perfect place to read, think, or prepare for the day. It's also become one of my favorite spots to meet with colleagues, entrepreneurs, and investors because it's comfortable enough for conversation without feeling noisy or rushed. I also want to recognize Bethany, who makes a genuine difference in the experience. She greets everyone with a warm, full smile that immediately makes you feel welcome. She's attentive, thoughtful, and truly cares about making things right if something isn't quite as expected. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it shows. If you're looking for more than just a good cup of coffee--a place where you can slow down, think, read, or have a meaningful conversation--La Divina is well worth a visit.

Got the Piazza Panini, Hibiscus Tea, and an Affogato…read more Panini had good flavor and texture. I've had better affogato's, but it was acceptable. Service and ambiance is where this cafe only gets 3 stars. Took nearly an hour to get the panini at a non-peak time. Waitress was nice but had a dead-pan attitude. The decoration style is wooden accessories with small chairs and burlap sacks under the glass table tops, very rustic; but also small paintings by local artists on the walls that seemed out of place. Good little restaurant/cafe, but probably won't go again.

We came to Rufino's for dinner on Saturday night, and luckily there was no wait. We weren't aware…read moreof the dress code, so my partner was politely asked to take his hat off while dining at the table. The ambiance was nice and quiet, with dim lighting for a more intimate vibe. For appetizers, we ordered the crabmeat cheesecake and calamari. Both were good, but the crabmeat cheesecake was AMAZING! I think the sauce for the calamari could use some improvements as it tasted a little too light for pairing. They offered complimentary bread service, and the olive oil/ balsamic mixture had tons of freshly grated cheese which tasted amazing compared to other places. For drinks, we both got bloody mary's, but mine was so stiff that it tasted like a double compared to my partner's.. They also didn't do the spiced rim and were out of pickled green beans. The drink experience was quite disappointing overall, so my partner finished it for me, and he agreed mine tasted like straight up alcohol. We decided on the 16 oz. ribeye and Rufino's bolognese for our mains, and upon arrival, I was EXTREMELY disappointed to see that they served the bolognese with rigatoni instead of tagliatelle. The pasta was also served warm, not hot like the roasted potatoes which was weird. Looking back at the menu, I regretfully did not read the entire description because it's bolognese and I expected the traditional pasta to be used in it. The pasta sauce was still delicious as well as the steak, but the roasted potatoes tasted so strongly of peanuts so I wasn't a fan at all. We noticed that they offered complimentary cotton candy for dessert, but we decided to splurge on the crème brûlée and it was so yummy! Overall, I would come back, but I would not get the calamari or the bolognese again. The service was friendly while still keeping things professional, but it definitely slowed down a lot once we received our entrees.
