Looking for a party of 8, nicer place.

Gino's
Little Village
Nino's
Palermo
La Contea
Di Giulio's

Other options?

I'm partial to La Contea, because it's nice without being stuffy, has really good food and doesn't break the bank.

Those are all great spots but we prefer Palermo because it's really close to the house and we've never had a bad meal there.

Ive been to Palermo twice and both times have been great experiences. Great bread too. May be hard for 8 tho

Ninos is very good but extremely small

DiGiulios is decent but also extremely small

your best bet would be Gino's or La Contea which are both very good imo

In this order:
Gino's (service is slacking though)
Di Giulio's (not upscale, just a simple, wonderful place)
Nino's
Palermo (it's just not great)
Little Village (shouldn't be upscale)

La Contea (is there a reason to go here?)

Pinetta's will always have my heart (also not upscale)

Palermo tops my list. I dont care if they add peas to their spaghetti carbonara, its too good.

DiGulios is by far the best of them outside of Ninos (I’ve never gone to Ninos).

Gino’s has some good items but also gave me one of the worst dishes I’ve ever had in a restaurant.

La Contea


That commercial makes me NOT want to go there. Not sure how anyone could think that commercial would entice people to visit.

Di Guilios is the best food.

Gino's, but La Contea pizza to go may be the best kept secret in Baton Rouge.
