If I could put zero stars.... I would. Where to begin, for starters, we arrived pretty late and my…read morefiancé and I already expected a long wait time, totally cool no issue there. The problem began almost immediately when we were told we could wait outside, and a cocktail waitress would serve us drinks as we waited. We waited, and we waited about 20 minutes to flag someone down for water, not once did any waitress actually engage with us. We knew we should have left after this, but it was 8 pm on a Friday night before an LSU football game so we figured maybe it's just busy. We had to move tables to get into someone's view, because we were straight up ignored the entire time. Later someone's child literally came up to the outdoor tables asking for donations from patrons. Not great, especially when he copped an attitude at someone who was giving him a donation and was just asking about their Venmo. We overheard an owner/ manager claiming they have to run them off all the time, which is lowkey wild. When we EVENTUALLY got a table, we decided to sit inside as we overheard other waitresses not being able to figure out who's bill/ orders were who's. We sat down an immediately and some waitress rudely slams water on the table without any acknowledgments and walks towards the bar. All the cocktail waitresses were pretty much hanging around/ at the bar with the older men. The food was C-tier at best, and the garlic bread was severely disappointing. 7 bucks for a burnt piece of French bread with garlic butter/ seasoning on it. The owners/managers seemed to be drunk and interacting only with friends of the establishment while the poor waitstaff was clearly swamped and overwhelmed. Mid-way through eating my salad the waitress literally came up and snatched my plate without even asking if I was done. Another really aggravating issue was they could NOT for the LIFE of themselves just decide on a playlist or a song. The music would start up super loudly and would just stop. and then a different song would play. For $140 that had to be one of the worst restaurant experiences I could imagine. Will never go back.

When I visited we got the Double Butcher Burger and the Hanz & Franzwich. The burger was good although, a little overcooked. It was not in my top 10 burgers and was too pricey to be served alone with no chips or fries, which is my main complaint with this place. The prices are very high and do not match the flavor or amount of food you get. I also tried their Sweet Potato Casserole (I believe that's what is it called), it was very good. Before I left I bought a pack of their beef hot dogs. That weekend we cooked them over an open fire and they were delicious.

What an absolutely incredible dining experience! The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely…read morepassionate about both the food and the service. 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!

Beyond five stars. My family has been Nino's patrons for over 20 years, but there was a long lull…read morein between visits. 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!

If it's close to a holiday, I recommend getting a reservation. The food is always good and I especially like the chicken Alfredo dish. The bread is amazing with all of the accoutrements that come with it. Say yes to the bread! It's worth the extra calories and carbs. I also really love the fried ravioli as an appetizer. The village is also great if you just like to go to the bar for a drink and order a few appetizers. They're generously sized and by the time you eat that and some bread you'll be full! You must go if you've never been there and also check out the lunch menu. The lunch specials are great, so I'd highly recommend that as well.

I also ordered the Shrimp & Artichoke Dip and it was served piping hot with homemade house fried tortilla chips. I devoured it and loved every bite. Last, but not least I enjoyed the Crawfish Spoonbread. It is a must-try! The restaurant is noisy so if you are looking for a quaint and quiet spot this is not for you. Casual atmosphere. I will definitely be back when I am in Baton Rouge.
