Came in for Restaurant Week and was blown away by both the food and the service. The food was rich, delicious, and overall amazing with great portions. My waiter Dominick definitely made the experience that much greater with his recommendations and incredible personality. I'll be back for sure and I am already planning when my next visit will be. Updated 1/30/25: Another Restaurant Week, another amazing experience. I always recommend coming to family, friends and even strangers!

Absolutely wonderful service, very calming atmosphere. The live performer is fantastic and Is happy to take requests if he has the music preprogrammed. The food was delicious and very fresh. Its easy to see that it was made with true care of the ingredients. We will without a doubt be back and will be telling family and friends

I cannot recommend this place more! We started with the Bruschetta and I had the chicken parmigiana as my main course. It was absolutely delicious! The produce is fresh and the flavors are amazing. The service is also outstanding, our server Alek was very kind and attentive! An all around great Italian find in Baton Rouge!

Excellent Italian food and the service is exceptional. Waitress was very personable and kept us engaged in conversation throughout our dining experience. Not really for the t-shirt and jeans or shorts crowd. Wonderful decor, semi dressy, great background music, and plenty of parking available. Another phenomenal option on Jefferson.

Valentines day was our first time eating here and it was great! Staff gave great service, i believe tara was our server that night. The atmosphere didn't seem chaotic as you would expect on such a big holiday. Our food was paced out well, and their was even a live musician! Definitely will be back.

I honestly wished I had found this restaurant a lot sooner versus just last week because this Italian restaurant is now my new favorite spot in Baton Rouge. The lobster ravioli was so good that I wish I had more of it. The Arancini was also wow, too! I'm definitely planning to try more things on their menu next time! #tonylameats #laconteaitalianrestaurant #italianfood #batonrougela

Nicole was phenomenal! So professional and kind. Very attentive. The restaurant week menu is very good. The pork was mid - but if you like a roast you’ll love it. It has that flavor pallet for SURE. Falls off the BONE. The tiramisu was some of the best I’ve had - let alone in Baton Rouge.

The food here is exquisite! It's apparent they use all fresh ingredients. The food didn't come out quickly but, we didn't wait long either. They pay attention to detail with their food & take the time to make sure it comes out properly to the coustomer. The cocktails we had were presented beautifully &, tasted very good. The alcohol per mixture ratio was perfect. The atmosphere is very clean & elegant. The prices are high but if, they continue putting out excellent food & service. I don't have a problem with it. I can honestly say, this is one of the best Italian Restaurants I've ever eaten at. I Will be back.
