Lot of replies but I haven't seen anyone saying what their favorite dish is (new menu apparently). Give me some recs--going for the first time this weekend.

I've always liked Gino's wine list

I went this past weekend and our party all had pasta dishes. If you've been to Nino's then you probably know that they are in house, handmade pastas....and they are absolutely delicious. I had the crab and brie pasta (linguine). It was sublime and I highly recommend it. Very good charcuterie plate as well. Had some gnocchi as an app and it pleased the table as well. Overall it is one of my top 3 Baton Rouge restaurants. (Beausoleil, Nino's, Pinetta's...no particular order)

I went for the first time 2 weeks ago and it was stellar.
Gnocchi is pan fried and crisp: phenomenal
I had the pork tenderloin with blackberries and it was excellent. My wife had the Alfredo and it was very good as well. They have a small and enthusiastic staff that gave great recommendations on all of the dishes and the wine list was not expansive but strong with some great value bottles.
We had the chef's wife as our server and she mentioned that a lot of the regulars were upset that they ditched a lot of the traditional Italian dishes recently.

If it's the curry and Kebab that's near the Vineyard I have sworn that place off. Decent lunch service, but the food was lacking at dinner and the service was suffocating. I don't mind you checking up on guest's like a normal waitstaff, but coming once every 6 minutes, handing out menus and fliers to bring home to friends... This ain't a mixtape playboy.

Easy there Cinderella. You underestimate my stamina and support.
Skillet- khaki's and button down are pretty appropriate anywhere and by no means overdressed. I understand this time of year and the need for shorts or in Fartie's case a skirt but I'd say shorts in Nino's is a bit inappropriate- but that's just me. Sitting in Mansur's a couple weeks ago and the table next to me was seated with a black AC/DC t shirt and a Western Auto ball cap about put me over the edge.
On the new menu I have had the lobster capasante, the carbonara which is a bit different than traditional and the stuffed pasta-Timpano.
I recommend all of them. Bring a bottle of wine and buy a bottle. Think he has a ten buck corkage but will usually wave it if you buy some of his too. He does have a nice boutique wine collection. Enjoy. I'm a big fan. He was the chef at the dinner lab I went to and it was phenomenal.
I'll be at Peche tonight. I'll wear slacks and a button down and will fit right in.

Welcome back! I was hoping you'd get cut loose by football season.

Cuffs or no cuffs?

Glad to have you back. Hope you will stick to restaurants and stay out of amusement parks.

Martini!!

I've been out of touch for a couple weeks, Manresa, Tulsa and the country with no phone or email. Man that was nice. Just pulled this up and low and behold no ban land. Had tonight and it was great. And cuffs and pleats on slacks. I'm old and don't really care what people think. Only fashion advice I live by is dress your age. I don't try to be hip. I was hip when it was original. Kind of like being born again- sorry I got it right the first time.
I'll be in Ninos later in the week. Elton reads the board. He's a big Slow Foods guy and a great chef. His menu changes seasonal anyway so I enjoy no matter what.

Elton made a pork tenderloin at a dinner I attended on an organic farm. He was guest chef. I think he's done it twice. The pork had so much good flavor. He sent me his method. Wasn't one of those things like a straight recipe. He just did it. Used pecans and pecan wood on the pits as I recall. The entire meal was delicious. I think I even posted pics from the meal here. It was 5 or 6 courses.
Sometimes being cut off from technology is a good thing. I relish it.
I'm not as uptight about what other people wear in restaurants as you know!
I probably wouldn't have even noticed the guy in the t-shirt and cap in Mansur's. I'm too busy with my people at my table and the food and drink. He'd have had to have had noticable body odor, body parts exposed or something more than that to get my attention. It's a bar. I've worn jeans to eat in the bar, myself.

Please stop calling my wife and kids and threatening them with bodily harm. Weirdo.

Well this FB thread started out pretty harmless. Now, it's officially creepy.

Nino's menu looks fantastic. I'm going to have to go when I'm up for a game this season. Kind of mad I never went when I lived up there.
