The Little Village - DowntownPleasant atmosphere; goodPleasant atmosphere; good for all ages but not especially good for young children5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day LunchThis was my first time at The Little Village. The appetizers, bellinis, and entrees were delicious. The menu had so many options that I felt the usual anxiety I feel when I want to order one of everything on the menu.
We got the fried green tomato appetizer as well as a loaf of the bread. Both were excellent. For my entrée, I got spaghetti and meatballs (I had to go traditional) and these were good as well. I ordered tiramisu for dessert and wished it had more flavor. I ended up eating my mom's cheesecake.
The service was unmemorable, which I guess is good because they weren't intrusive and I never felt neglected.
Will definitely go back.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderfulBeen here a few times and they never disappoint. Food was wonderful as always. Celebrated our anniversary and they made it really special. This is a must visit place.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Little Village is oneThe Little Village is one of Baton Rouge's best! Brought my wife there this time for her birthday. The food and service were both outstanding!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMDeliciousAs always, the food never disappoints. The Lobster bisque was especially good and I am still having dreams about the desert: Sticky Toffee Pudding and Salted Caramel Ice Cream with caramel sauce you pour over the top of the pudding. It was absolutely delicious.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMTwo Words: Steak PalermoAnother outstanding visit to the Village. This wait staff is great. Each helping the other to see that your dinner experience is great. We started out with a couple cocktails. New Bartender that knows his drinks. Started out with Lobster, crab, and crawfish rolls. So good. Of course we had to have some of that fine bread with the olive mix. After a good house salad, we finished the meal with a bottle of wine with the Steak Palermo. It was to be cut with a fork tender. If you never have tried this, do so on your next visit. Little pricey, fifty, but it is great.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic restaurant. IncredibleFantastic restaurant. Incredible food and atmosphere. I''ll be back again for sure!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our 30 year anniversaryIt was our 30 year anniversary and wanted to try someplace different. Very pleasant4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMBest service in a long time!Was in Baton Rouge on vacation and this was one of the few places available, so decided to try it - was glad I did!
The bread is to die for! A must have if you visit. I had a caesar salad to start which was one of the best I've ever had - very garlicy! And then the pasta with meatballs was absolutely perfect.
Although the food was great, the biggest thing that stands out was our server. It was a busy night (lots of prom parties there), but our server was attentive, friendly, helpful, quick, and professional. Quite possibly one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMI made a reservation for 12I made a reservation for 12 but 15 people showed up. The staff didn't flinch. They rearranged seating and accomodated us. The waiter was wonderful. We felt at ease and enjoyed our meal so much. We sat around and talked and didn't feel rushed by the staff to get up and leave. I highly recommend Little Village-both locations.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMI visited the downtown locationI visited the downtown location last Thursday for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the Ribeye special. Our server was excellent. I don't recall his name but he has a dark complexion and a thin build. He is to be commended for his professionalism and attentiveness. I mistakenly left a personal item on the table and he ran down the street to bring it to me. Please thank him for me. We enjoyed our dining experience and plan to return in the near future.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMMy first visit and truly enjoyable.My first visit and truly enjoyable. A great place for lunch!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMLitle Village is our favoriteLitle Village is our favorite restaurant in Baton Rouge. We prefer the location on Airline Highway because the service is superior! The last two times we dined at the downtown location, the service was slow. We had to remind our server that we ordered wine. Saturday night, our wine sat on the bar for 20 minutes with our server passing us several times. Finally my husband went to the bar to pick the wine up for us. The manager never came by to apologize. The food was fantastic all always. Our dining experience at the Airline location is always excellent! We will not frequent the downtown location again.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMthe was excellent the barthe was excellent the bar server was knowledgeable and the drinks were excellent, our waiter was good without being intrusive, we will definitely go back4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThe quality and quantity ofThe quality and quantity of food was wonderful.

The waitress did seem a little distracted, might be because she had too many tables. But, other than that we will be back again.

Thanks again3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThe ribeye steak was perhapsThe ribeye steak was perhaps the best I have ever eaten at a restaurant. They sides were just okay, in my estimation. However, the service was great and they happily accommodated our group which required separate checks.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great experience.We had a great experience. We were only in town for a meeting, but next time we would certainly go back.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic ExperienceThe half-loaf or whole loaf of bread is the best you'll ever put in your mouth. Unless you don't like butter or parmesan cheese - then you should skip it. I can't recommend it enough.
The Fettuccinie Alfredo is second to none. The fresh pasta is perfectly cooked with ample sauce. And if you add shrimp or chicken you won't be sorry.
And they cook fish here as well as any restaurant on the planet. Our Sea Bass was cooked to perfection, rich with flavor and perfectly flaky. Outstanding.
I don't come to (or drive through) Baton Rouge without stopping here for a meal.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMVery enjoyable evening...asVery enjoyable evening...as we have come to expect when dining at The Little Village Downtown.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe team at Little VillageThe team at Little Village - Downtown is great.
