It’s fantastic. Not looking up the menu but from memory the prosciutto stack, arancini, fish with shishitos, and the paneed veal. Service was great, drinks good
Edit to say I have nice pictures but don’t know how to post

It’s good. Small so make a reservation if possible.
The crawfish gnocchi and the homemade Italian sausage pizza was good.

Was pleasantly surprised, some of the best Italian food I’ve had.

Anyone know if they've fired up their happy hour yet?

It is our new favorite spot in BR. Fresh and really good food. We have had the arancini, carpaccio, calamari, and meatball apps. Only one I wouldn't order again is the calamari, but only bc it isn't remarkably better than every other fried calamari dish. Once, they had a spinach & artichoke special that was a fantastic appetizer. For entrees, the rabbit & gnocchi is my favorite, but we've also tried and loved the bolgnese, pasta al granchio, and rigatoni al limone. Make a reservation.

I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about having "another" Italian restaurant in Baton Rouge, but I was wrong. The few times I've been, the food has been very, very good. The ambiance is also a nice shift from the standard Italian kitsch we so frequently get. As far as what to get, just order what looks good to you. Haven't had a bad dish yet.

It is SO good. Italian is my favorite & I’d put it top of the list in BR. Almost close to what I ate in Italy. Go, you won’t regret it!

pasta al granchio
This was good, but it was littered with crab shells in the pasta.
The Saturday gnocchi special was fantastic, as was the tiramisu.

We went Saturday, this place is tremendous.
Got the Calamari app which was good, red sauce was pretty tasty. I will get a different appetizer next time we go.
I got the Pasta al Granchio which was squid ink pasta over a Calabria chili butter sauce with crab meat. It was incredible.
She got the rabbit gnocchi was was also really really good.
The tiramisu was some of the best I've ever had.
This place is a must try.

I agree.

Tried it for an early dinner Saturday. I concur with everyone else, it was really good. My only complaint was the croutons in my Caesar salad were too hard to eat. The meatballs were fantastic. Will definitely go back to try everything else. Pretty nice selection of wine by the glass.

I really hope this place makes it.
It was packed when I was there.

Good crowd tonight, but not “packed”.
Arancini comes on top of a chilled caponata sauce. It’s actually a nice foil to the piping hot rice balls. Very good, not a speck left on the plate.
Carpaccio is classic. Comes with warm focaccia. The meat was good, but the bread was great!
Squid ink/crab pasta was very bright. Definitely a little sweet, but the chili comes through on the back end. This was a summer dish.
Rabbit gnocchi was hearty and flavorful. This is a fall dish.
Overall, great dinner.
