Giamancos
Had the dessert in the jewelry display at the hostess stand. Great oysters, spaghetti and meatballs, fried shrimp and a killer ribeye. Grew up eating there and miss it. Now the White Market or whatever that food court will be called is being built on the site.
His brother owned Suburban Garden restaurant in Alexandria for many years as well.
White Star Market

Just found this article:
If you wanted really good, Southern-style Italian food, or fried seafood po-boys served with a beer or a soft drink in a big frosty mug, Giamanco’s was your place. South Baton Rouge natives went there with such frequency, most of the regular wait staff knew customers by name, and families reserved the spacious back-rooms for birthdays and special occasion meals. The restaurant closed in the early 2000s, much to the dismay of its patrons, and the building was demolished, though the slab still stands, reminding many of favorite meals of yesteryear.
Doesn't say it was on Government St though.
