The food here delivers on expectations, the menu is large everyone will be able to find something to their liking. The restaurant itself is small inside compared to what you will expect but the staff and guest will make you feel right at home. Our server was JP, everything i needed he was right on the spot and checked in with us regularly i never had to look for him. The drinks, appetizers and meals were great and I personally think you will love this little restaurant and the atmosphere.

Deliziosa! Tried DiGulio Brothers for the first time tonight with my family. Best Italian in Baton Rouge! The old world style sauce pops with fresh herbs and meaty tomato. The impressively large meatball holds up well with soft seasonings throughout that marry perfectly with the robust sauce. Soft, fragrant parmesean is available at the table to add at your discretion. The garlic bread was crisp and flavorful, not greasy or soggy at all. The chicken marsala was hands down the best I have had since culinary school. Full bodied, thick gravy with mushrooms, such a delight. The chocolate pie is a stand out, tasting so much like my own grandmother's recipe from the 20s. The crust tasted almost caramelized. Service was polite and prompt. On our way out, we ran into the owner. He was very kind to us. It was so nice for him to take the time to greet us and recommend coming by for other offerings. I grew up in the country, and it's nice when you feel like you're conversing with a neighbor at a local business. My whole party raved about the food through the whole meal. The prices, to me, are well worth it. This establishment packs both quantity, and more importantly, quality during an age in which many people cut corners. They also were so kind to accommodate the vegetarian in our party substituting the meatball for another stuffed manicotti. They are very busy and for good reason. I saw a lot of one star reviews before I came, and I was worried, but frankly, as a former chef, a foodie, a lover of hometown comfort and family closeness, DiGulio Brothers is the whole package. Molto bene!

You have gotta try DiGiullio Brothers Italian restaurant. I have been coming here for a good 30+ years. Always great Italian food. There is seating inside, on the covered front porch, or out in the breeze and sky. I love their Italian sausage and meatballs. Today was my birthday dinner and I shared a 14" chicken, artichoke, feta, and tomato. Shared their calamari with ranch and pasta sauce dips. They have a nice selection of drinks so basically everything you can want made at the bar.

I had an amazing experience at DiGiulio brothers Italian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had—creamy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portion was more than enough, and every bite was rich and satisfying. My dad had the Chicken Piccata, and he really enjoyed it as well. The flavors were fresh, and the lemon-butter sauce was just the right balance of tangy and savory. Beyond the food, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a great Italian meal, I highly recommend this place.

Super good food, awesome waiters, great wine, nice ambience. You can’t go wrong here. My husband took me here for the first time and they had a packed house! We had to wait nearly an hour to get a table, and even then they were seats at the bar. But the wait was so worth it! They did not disappoint and the bartenders were on point with food recommendations. One of their suggestions was getting the shrimp a la vodka but substitute meatballs for the shrimp. What a great suggestion because it was perfect! Salad was a little acidic for my taste but my husband loved his. And that fried calamari was one of best calamari dishes I’ve ever had. So delicious! Overall we will definitely be back!

Super cute spot, dined outside Waited almost 2 hrs for food for 4 adults + Is they made sure to get the kids food out asap so they were fed while the adults waited Tried to order 3 different menu items and was told each one was either sold out or they were out of an ingredient When food finally arrived it was super tasty, definitely recommend any of their pasta dishes. Would visit again to try more menu items but do not recommend if your in a rush.

DiGiulio Bros has been on my list for a long time and we decided to give them a shot last night. Overall it was a very nice experience. We arrived at 7:00 pm, just as the dinner rush was getting started, and were told that we'd have about a 30 minute wait, in all actuality it was only about 10 minutes, so we were pleasantly surprised. We opted to sit outside and think that we got the best seat in the house for a date night. The menu was extensive and they had a wide variety of dishes ranging from small plates and sandwiches to large entrees. Overall each dish was very good and classic Italian-American. I felt that the eggplant appetizer was a bit under seasoned, but this seemed to be isolated to the eggplant. Serving sizes were very large, and each comes with a salad, with the option to upcharge a specialty salad for a small fee. In the future we may opt to split an entree as we each had nearly half of our entree to bring home. I'm really excited to go back to try them for lunch.

Quaint little Italian Cafe. Dine inside in a small crowded dining room with a bar. Or, outside patio overlooking the parking lot and expressway. The service is very good and the wine list is small and concise. The wine is very reasonably priced and nothing really over the top. The food, on the other hand, is hit or miss. I tried the Veal Parmigiana, which I thought would be a safe and traditional dish… it was good not great. The breading was a little off, like it was cooked in old grease. The bread service is not my favorite and tonight it was stale. The last time I had their fish special… overpriced, overcooked and very expensive. It’s a shame because it is a great little hangout. Maybe just go for wine & pizza.

my bestie pal and I went here for the first time together for dinner. Instantly, the wait staff alone are all so energetic and amazing! She was very helpful and bubbly. Food; we came and ordered 3 appetizers. We ordered the Meatball which you can choose the tomato cream sauce or tomato sauce. We chose the tomato cream. The flavor of the sauce was good! I'm pretty picky when it comes to Italian tomato base sauces, but all in all a nice & dense appetizer. 4/5 Calamari ; I love calamari! Who doesn't love calamari?! The serving size for this appetizer was perrrfect. It was my buds first time ever having it and said it was a top tier appetizer. The calamari came with a tomato dipping sauce and a tartar lemony garlic dipping sauce. Cambozola and roasted garlic ; Ok, so I love a good cheese and garlic concoction in my mouth. However, the baguette toast that the dish comes with was extremely dry. I feel like if it had came with an olive oil base or something with the gooey , warm, savory garlic then it would've made this appetizer better. Ambiance ; CUTE. Lots of outdoors seating. Inside is small with a bar and maybe 8-9 tables. The location is honestly perfect. The owner, even came out and chatted with us as we were leaving! This place is such a hidden gem with a homey vibe. Considering we only came for a girl dinner and drinks, our experience was amazing and needless to say...we will be back!!!!

Restaurant seems nice with a happy vibe. Building seemed clean and tables well set. Food was not good. My wife and I googled best meatball PoBoy and this place came up on the list along with other notables we knew. Decided to order a meatball poboy to go. I'm recently out of major surgery and a homebody of late. We couldn't wait to dig in to what felt like a hefty poboy. We split the sandwich and sat down to eat. I didn't like mine but started trying to doctor it up. My wife turned her nose up after one bite and deemed it unpalatable. She threw hers in the garbage and after a few tries with extra sauce and red pepper I did the same with mine. So, we have a nice place with good ambiance and clean tables but a $17 poboy that when right in the garbage. Really want to give the place a second chance but not sure when. Servers and manager were so friendly and seemingly proud of the place that we are reluctant to post this review. Update. Next day. Woke up with stomach distress. Many bathroom trips. Disgusted with the meatball sub.

Even though we sat outside in the summer heat and humidity, it was still very nice (due to some good fans)! We sat outside because the inside was PACKED, absolutely maxed out. Yet we still got a timely and kind waiter! My group didn't get a variety of food items, but we all loved what we had- pizza, fettuccine, veal, etc.

Very expensive for what it is. Not exactly sure what kind of Italian restaurant this is supposed to be. The marinara sauce is awful and pasta was definitely not fresh or even prepared that day. I had high hopes for this place but they were squashed.

Went for Fathers day, and because of this the restaurant was absolutely packed. This is definitely a double edged sword though, the aesthetic of the place screamed "small owned, authentic food" where the amount of noise quite literally screamed to me, where I personally had some difficulties hearing. (I am hearing impaired, so I suggest taking that with a grain of salt) I would love to go back though! I had gotten spaghetti and pesto for the first time and I don't think it was quite what I had imagined it to be, so I would love to try more of the menu. I also had gotten bread instead of a salad, which, in my opinion if I had known it was going to be a denser sourdough bread, I would have just said to "no" to the salad. Our server was great, even though it was very busy I felt like they were able to check in on the table enough to where it didn't feel like we had to wait. Lastly, for dessert we got and shared their cannolis and oh my gosh. LOVED. THEM.

Hidden gem! Di Giulio Brothers is hands down the most authentic Italian food in Baton Rouge. There's a reason it is packed at 6pm, parking spots full, long wait...because the food and atmosphere is worth it! They since expanded seating, but recommend getting there early. We started out with the calamari which was crispy, fresh, and had amazing flavor. The soft shell crabs were fairly inexpensive but were the largest I have seen in so long! They were full, sweet and perfectly fried. Highly recommend! Another dish we absolutely would order again: Mike's Pizza. The eggplant is a nice touch! The flavor of the pizza is incredible - you will not be disappointed. The sea-bass was sub par in my opinion; wish they would have used a different cut of the sea-bass as it was extremely dry. The pesto was great, however! Certainly recommend if you're poking for an authentic Italian restaurant with phenomenal food!

First. We have been here several times within the last three years. I'm not even sure I left a review before. Second. If I did leave a review it would have been better than the one I'm giving now. I debated to even write one. But after reading some recent negative comments, I'm at the point of something has changed. We were there a few weeks ago. Again I wasn't sure if I should do a review or not bc I didn't take pictures. We all started eating right away. Bc we were hungry. We came early so we were seated promptly. We decided to sit outside bc the weather was tolerable. Normally a little slow for my taste with regard to waitstaff but nothing over the top annoying. If you order anything definitely get their garlic cheesy bread. Really tasty and fresh. And that about ends the good part about the food. We ordered calamari. Wayyyy overcooked and breading was hard. We found a couple not quite overdone fried ones and they were edible. My daughter and husband had the veal piccata. And well unless you go to a foreign country that serves real veal it won't be tender enough. It was edible. The meal that wasn't was the spaghetti and pesto. It was absolutely horrible and for $27 you'd expect flavor at the bare minimum. I do not believe they used basil. And the pine nuts if it was pine nuts and garlic were barely tasted. Like what is this green stuff and oil on pasta? I ended up not eating it and took it home and Jerry rigged it to be edible!! I can't believe I spent $27 not including tax and tip on that entree!!! It was not pesto. I think they might have used parsley and not basil and they didn't put enough garlic nor Parmesan! Wow is all I can say. Get the garlic bread. That was good. I'm sure there's got to be something else good. They need to check their cooks. :( we will be back to see if anything changes.

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was very attentive on a busy night. My wife and I split the Portobello mushroom entree and we got the baked oysters appetizer. They were delicious. Others with us got the muffaletta, which they enjoyed. We each got the Serenity cocktail which was very good. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Been going here for years and it's always been delicious and a wonderful community vibe, recently I got their eggplant appetizer with black olives and feta and I cannot stop thinking about them, their pecan crusted fish might be the best version I've ever had, if you haven't been in a while make plans soon, thank me later

I wanted to love this place. Everyone I know raves about it. Yet, I just felt that it was somewhat mediocre. I love Italian food and I could take or leave this. The appetizers were good--we had the calamari and the eggplant crispers. Again, good but nothing to write home about in my honest opinion. The house dressing on the salad was good but it needed something to balance the acid from the vinaigrette. Finally--the eggplant Parmesan tasted good. I just wasn't blown away--I think I prefer a thicker red sauce. I tried my husband's manicotti and it was "just okay" also. I will say that the service was pretty good and the patio was very nice and comfortable. I'd be open to going back and trying something different next time.

Horrible food and Horrible service. Spent $400 and it was almost inedible! We were there for lunch and we were there for 2 1/2 hours! Don't go there if you're hungry or want good food!

We live in Prairieville but was in that part of the town Friday and gave Di Giulio Brothers a try. The food was great, the server was great and we had a very enjoyable lunch. We look forward to go back there again.

The food and service are consistently excellent! I've been here two times in the past week for the calamari. The first visit was on a LSU game day and despite a crowd, I was quickly seated on the outside patio. The server, Lauren, was attentive and friendly. She recommended the calamari and it exceeded expectations! Crispy, hot, flavorful and the marinara as well as the garlic aioli, with which it was served were delicious! As a main, I ordered the sea bass and it was perfectly cooked as well as seasoned. It came with a caper butter that was over the moon good. This second visit was for the sole purpose of sharing with one of my best friends who came to visit BR from Chicago, an authentic Italian experience as good, if not better, than what he gets in Chicago-land. He agreed!! Calamari was the best he's had and the shrimp po'boy (not really Italian but hey, when in Louisiana haha!) was on par with some of the New Orleans' faves (you all know the names, but this is a DiGiulio Brother's review - so we're not naming other restaurants) :) Overall: 5 stars plus!! The servers on our second visit were Vivian and Morgan very attentive and prompt in providing great service with great demeanors! Also they made the recommendation on trying the Po'Boy. Great advice and surprisingly, the pic I'm posting is only half so my friend and I just split one! You can'tmiss with DiGiulio Brothers - do yourself a favor & get there soon!!

The service was wonderful. The food was really good. Red sauce was amazing. The ambiance of the place fun. Everyone was having a good time. We sat at the bar and the bartender did so well with the drinks. The owner really ensures the customers are taken care of. Tiramisu was wonderful! We will definitely be back again!

I love a good ole spaghetti and meatball! This place is such a small little restaurant. It gives me old Italian vibes and is dark at night inside the restaurant! Our server was very nice and sweet! She seemed like she had been working there for a long time. My Caesar salad was good, but I wish they added more croutons. Also, the spaghetti was okay! It was kind of bland and the sauce was a little more on the acidic side. I love a good red sauce but this was underwhelming :( The meatball was also kind of bland! The portion size is great for $20 though. I would come again to try the other things because it seemed like a busy restaurant! There's outside seating as well as inside. I def want to give this place another try bc I am a pasta fanatic and this restaurant doesn't just stop at spaghetti and meatballs!

Just found a great place. Was turned away by Gino's. Nothing on their website says s to call for reservations. Maybe they do not want out of towners. Any way. Found Di Giulio Bros. We are sitting out on their patio. Very nice. Friendly waitress Morgan. Soooo helpful. My friend had the chicken Parmesan, and I had to fill Parmesan. Both were very good. We had red velvet cake for desert. Coffee needs to be a lot hotter. It's hardly like warm. Overall I would recommend the place.

We went there last year- 2023 and the waitstaff and the owner was VERY Rude to us. I even told the owner that I knew his brother very good. He didn't seem to care and was too worried about flirting with our waitress and another waitress. The food was just ok. Not nearly as good as it use to be, under the original owner. The prices were very high, for what you get. We will not be back to a very Rude and not a very professional place. Too many other good places to go spend my money.

We came for lunch on a Monday & we're seated right away. I ordered the chicken piccata lunch special with a Cesar salad, & my husband ordered the meatball poboy. The Cesar side salad was awesome! It had lots of flavor without being too much, and the croutons had a nice texture, soft & crispy. I was underwhelmed with the chicken picota, & found out to be quite bland. I didn't receive the bread that was supposed to come with my meal either. The meatball poboy was good except for this gamey flavor that we were getting from the meat which ruined it for us. The portion sizes were huge. We definitely feel like we could have just split one entree especially with how expensive everything was.

The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice -- I enjoyed the abundance of outdoor seating. However, out of the three dishes we got, none of them impressed us. I would maybe go there again for drinks and appetizers (the calamari was good!) but definitely not for an entree.

I'm having trouble on where to begin with this place. All I can think of is this place is excellent. We started of with the garlic bread for appetizer, and my tastebuds were swimming in a pool of butter and garlic flavor. Next was the 4 cheese lasagna and meatball. Typically, I'm picky when it comes to lasagna. In my opinion, it's a fail if the pasta is overbaked and I'm staring at mush. At diGiulio, I only wished there were more layers of lasagna!

Authentic Italian food, excellent service wonderful ambience. Came with my little family for pre valentines, first visit and fell in love with the place. The food is phenomenal. From New Orleans and a foodie and Italian food snob. The place is a new found gem for me. My son even met the owner who gave him a gift before we left. Wonderful place with wonderful people I will be come a regular for sure

Came here craving some pizza and spaghetti and was not disappointed! Decent pizza and spaghetti! If you want a candle night dinner, this is the place to go! 1. Grilled portobello & roasted garlic with shrimp. 2. 10 inch Mike's pizza ( pepperoni, onion, egg plant, tomatoes, roasted garlic) 3. Chicken Avezzano: The bird version of a house favorite, combining chicken Parmigiana with eggplant Parmigiana. #BatonRougeLA

Cute little restaurant, we sat out in their courtyard with a group of friends. Requested Blackened Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with Pesto per a friend's suggestion, not on the menu. It was really nice of the kitchen staff to accept our request however It wasn't the greatest and wished I would've stuck to my original selection (veal parmigiana) which seemed more flavorful. Wine selection was great. Our waiter, I think her name was Lauren, She was kind and friendly. I'm giving the fourth star based on her service alone. Will visit again and try something different.

I love their lunch specials. The chicken cacciatore is so yummy. Big chunks of chicken and good portion. At dinner, my favorite is the shrimp vodka pasta!

My best friend and I were in the Overpass area and somehow stumbled upon Di Giulio Brothers. We were in for a pleasant night! Our server, Chynna, was so kind and such a great help especially with us being sudden first timers. She helped us with menu recommendations and let me sample some of their wine to help me with selecting a glass. It was obvious that Chynna is very knowledgeable and loves her job too. We had garlic bread as an appetizer followed with a Caesar salad. I was happy to learn that they had a veryyyy full bar so the bartenders were able to make any drink you'd like! I had a blueberry lemon drop -- wasn't too sweet or too tangy in my opinion. I had a hard time deciding between their pasta and pizza and settled for a 10" Quattro Formaggi & added pepperoni. WOW! The pizza took a little time to come out because it is made fresh to order. This honestly has to be in my top 2 for best pizza! The atmosphere was great too. We actually sat outside since the weather was perfect. Good cocktails, great food, welcoming vibe. I could tell that the customers there were regulars and the sense of community was contagious. I truly enjoyed the night. And how can I forget dessert: we ordered crème brûlée to share but we should've honestly got our own each! The top layer was the perfect ratio to the custard. I recommend ending the meal with this. I'll be back to try that pasta too!

I would actually rate this 0 stars. Just had an awful experience here. My boyfriend and I usually love Digiulio Brothers for their food and atmosphere for date night, but we will never return. We were seated at our table then soon after the owner of the restaurant approached us at our table asking us to get up for another couple. He claimed that this couple had been waiting for 30-40 minutes and that they had seated us before them by mistake, but that was not true. I watched this couple enter the restaurant about 10 minutes after us and the owner quickly promised them (they seemed to be friends of his) that he would have something set up for them immediately - OUR table. I am incredibly disappointed in this experience at what used to be our favorite date spot. He clearly did not care about his customer loyalty, only his friends.

DiGulios is what I would call a great neighborhood Italian restaurant. I don't know their story but It has a kind of family feel to it. Friendly and attentive staff, simply laid out in a kind of "no-nonsense" layout - which is fine. You can relax here and be casual and get really good food at reasonable prices - without an airs or pretensions. Today I had the standard Spaghetti and Meatball - and it was very nice - the meatball in particular being huge, and well cooked and seasoned, and not dried out and just the right amount for the pasta and sauce that accompanied it. I've been. Here in the past and had an Osso Bucco that was delicious. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for local Italian...... 5/31/19 - In town for my daughter's wedding and having a dinner with the bride and groom and their immediate families before everything kicks off. We sat at an outdoor table and - yes - it was a LITTLE humid but not terrible and the company was good and the food as aI remember and the SERVICE was TOP NOTCH. We ordered the off-menu "Clint Bread" that was exactly what the reviews said it would be - Calamari was excellent - Fried Eggplant medallions we're terrific and the Marinara just made it work.....my entree of Fettuccine with Italian Sausage and Peppers was very good - maybe a little teensy bit heavy on the olive oil but the flavor was very nice. Cut that oil in half and it's perfect. All in all a great meal on a great occasion....!

Great service, Great food! I called my order in told the owner I had a bit of a drive, he started my order in a timely fashion for it to be hot when I got there. I love the bead tips over orzo pasta along with a salad. My son tried it for the first time and loved it!

The food is very expensive for what it is. My wife and I got two entrees, two sodas, and dessert for a bill of 75 dollars. The $25 price tag for spaghetti and a la vodka is a bit ridiculous. My wife can do better being Italian and from Northeast Ohio. This is not just a problem at this place, but coming to the South you often pay expensive prices for mediocre to awful Italian that would be 10-12 bucks a plate in Cleveland or Pittsburgh. Why I am scoring a 2 is that the meats cooked on my wife's plate was skillfully done. The Lemon pie was also very good. Props due where props are due, but that is about it. Our server ignored us for most of our meal whereupon I went to the bar for a refill of my soda. I faced the manager. He apologized while our server continued being social with a table 10 feet away. He didn't ask or inquire why I was getting the refill, but also continued to talk socially too. He didn't make things right, and I'm inclined to think that this type of behavior may be normal. The bathrooms are also very cramped and the door locks are flimsy. Above all else, there are better places in BR to go for mediocre to awful Italian. Chicken Picatta can be obtained from NY Pizza and Pasta for half the price. It's over on Coursey Blvd.

so good! my roommate had recommended this place, and i was pleasantly surprised! it's a small place, not too fancy but very nice and intimate. me and my family stopped by for lunch, and we all got a lunch special which included salad and bread for about $20. i got a caesar salad and it was very good! it wasn't too heavily dressed, just lightly which was perfect for me. i got the spaghetti with meatball. it was so good, and the portion was huge! it was well flavored and the meatball was nice and dense. the rest of my family loved all their dishes as well. the service was great as well, the waitresses were always there to help us out, fill our glasses, and promptly brought out the food and such. i definitely want to come back for dinner and get some drinks and desserts too!

Di Giulio Brothers isn't hard to miss, but don't be fooled by their unobtrusive exterior - this place is totally worth seeking out! The wait staff has an impressive knowledge of their menu, and they're all very friendly and efficient. On my last visit, the Veal Vazzano was totally delicious! It's taste was outstanding, and the spice level was a perfect compliment to the entree. While the veal was a tad overcooked, it was still moist, and the portion size was generous enough to satisfy even the hungriest appetite. Bottom line: I really enjoyed the ambiance, the food, and the service, and I'd suggest that anyone looking for a good Italian meal should give this place a try!

Weather outside was so nice, it was lonely inside. Service was great but the food disappointing. The house salad which used to be fresh with leafy green romaine was mostly tired white and brown stems this time and served on the same small platter as the fish entree. This flooded the fish with vinaigrette. Not what I had in mind for the garlic caper butter sauce. The server effectively sold me on the gingerbread cake which came loaded with way too much delicious icing and, to my surprise, a charge of $13 for a slice of cake. I had no notice of that.

Wonderful little Italian place. Perfect for a date night. Sauce is sweet, but the meat is super savory and tasty. Fully recommend for a weekend date night

Great service, atmosphere and good food. Shrimp pizza was awesome as was other dishes. Calamari appetizer and bread were great also.

Visiting my daughter who is a freshman at LSU. We wanted a nice bowl of pasta. We go 'to go' orders. She ordered the spaghetti and meatball. I got the caprese appetizer and the mushroom eggplant appetizers. I walked into the place to pick up the order and was fully charmed. Great vibe, smelled great, and the dining area and bar were full of happy people. We got the food back to the campus and started to chow down. My daughter said "there's something wrong with the pasta". Sure enough, the spaghetti was some limp, mushy, almost slimy noodles that might have been rice noodles. Terrible. Awful. The meatball was big, but when they ground the meat they left little bits of bone in it. Disturbing to bite into. And to make it worse, there was no sauce on or in the dish. Really bad and frankly, inedible. Extremely disappointing.

service was good but food was horrible way to much oregano, clove something tasted like cleaning fluid, spaghetti and meatballs & chicken promdoro way over priced as well, Olive Garden is better, just saying, won't go back

Good food and friendly service. The Three Cheese & Spinach Manicotti was delicious. Seating outside was nice with perfect weather. The parking lot was a little tight. They were very busy so it was difficult to get a drink at the bar prior to be seated. Overall, though, it was a good experience.

I was in town scouting out neighborhoods for my impending move to Baton Rouge and decided to pick up dinner for my dad at I at Di Giulio Brothers, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is some of the best Italian food I've ever had! I ordered the Cambozola and Roasted Garlic appetizer, and it is one of my new favorite foods. I also ordered the chicken Parmesan, fettuccine Alfredo, meatball sub, and tiramisu, and all were equally delicious. Not only is the food to die for the ambiance is adorable, and the owners and staff are amazing. I was lucky enough to chat with Mr. Mike and his daughter about life in Baton Rouge, and they made me feel at home in a new city. I'd highly recommend this place and can't wait to be back!

Local venue with great food homey feeling Italian food. The place was packed on a holiday; but that's all good. A party of four glided towards the bar. It had an awesome selection of Italian wines and some American wines as well. But overall a great selection. I was very happy with the dirty martini. It had very fine ice chips and the proper amount of vodka and olive juice. Well done Mr. Bartender. Now to the food. The Oysters Don was more like a game of where's waldo. It was more of push aside the dry bread crumbs and find the tiny oysters. They were the biggest oysters; but had a good taste. Bigger oysters please. The main entree of the veal picatta was on point. This had great classic flavor, with the butteryness and capers. The side of garlic, olive oil, parsley (GOP) pasta on the side was sa-vor-ee!!! good stuff here.
