No one seems to really care that Gino's is some really good italian food
it'e been there forever

I know the OP wasn't asking about places, but since this place was brought up, I have to express what I know is a very unpopular opinion in Baton Rouge and will get me lots of down votes here, but I don't think Gino's is very good. Highly overrated.

My wife and I were having this conversation over the weekend. We both think Gino's and Louisiana Lagniappe are mediocre at best restaurants and highly overrated by the folks in Baton Rouge.

There, I said it. Let the downvotes begin!!!

So give us some perspective here. In your opinion, what is your favorite Italian in BR and your favorite seafood in BR?

Actually agree with you about Gino’s. Don’t think it’s anything special. The veal parmigiana I had there one night tasted so generic like it was from Sysco. Now, I’ll fight you about Lagniappe. Had my boss in town from out of state the other day and took him there, and he said the fish en papillote was the best fish dish he had ever eaten. It may be overpriced but it is NOT overrated.
