Would like to hear your opinions on the best Italian restaurants in BR. I am planning our trip and would like some recommendations.
I'll ditto Ginos and Ruffinos. Never been to Vincents. I miss the old Pinettas. The current incarnation doesn't have the old Serbian chef in the kitchen anymore and it just ain't the same.
I used to eat at Ginos when I lived in BR, so it's nice to hear it is still a good place to eat. I have never tried Ruffinos.
There really isn't top-shelf Italian in Baton Rouge, unfortunately, but those are the best of what there is.
I was leaving chains out of the discussion, but yeah, Portobello's is OK. If we are including chains then Carrabba's must be included.
I don't think Portobello's is a "chain", both locations are locally owned. Kiva's at Bocage is also a very nice place, white linen Italian dining.
yeah, i guess i was mistaken about that, but i don't consider either to be as good as the ones I mentioned anyway.
