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!

Had reservations for two. Atmosphere: somewhat upscale feel without having any Italian restaurant atmoshere; but we do love the singer doing classic Italian karaoke. Ordered two cocktails; Blackberry Whiskey and Strawberry Prosecco were delicious.

Came here for our anniversary and needless to say they did not disappoint. They had a guy singing which was really nice. The manager even made up for a small mistake it’s people like that, that will make a visit memorable.

Pollo Milanese- one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The entire dish was flavorful and so delicious. This was a delivery order and everything came just as ordered and was packaged with care. Highly recommend!

Great hidden gem. I have probably passed it 50 times since moving to BR and didn’t know it was here. Lunch specials were very reasonably priced. Service was awesome. Tomato soup, bread, and eggplant parm were all outstanding. Much better than a local little village restaurant everyone raves about. Everyone I was with agreed the food and service were awesome.

Absolutely loved our first time here. Harold was our server and I highly recommend requesting sitting with him. The food was amazing. We had trouble deciding what to order because everything looked so good. The drinks were delicious. Perfect spot for a date night.

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.

La Contea had been on my list of places to try in Baton Rouge for years and I’m so glad that I finally gave them a try. They were surprisingly more upscale than I was expecting, yet very reasonably priced. Easily one of the sleeper hits in Baton Rouge that I didn’t know I was missing out on, but I’ easily a fan now. The arancini was better than the ones I had in Italy.
