You’ll never know how good this place is unless you try it! They have lunch specials that are really good. One of them I love is the mushroom chicken over pasta. Everything is so reasonably priced and the staff personalize your visit. Try this locally owned restaurant and find out for yourself!

This was our first visit to BR and this restaurant. The service was top notch and the food/wine was phenomenal. Our server was very attentive & the manager walked around checking on everyone. The music in the background was softly playing & it was dimly lit so perfect for a date night.

Great! Loved the environment . Food was delicious . Wonderful service.

This was our first time dining here and we absolutely loved it… The lasagna was outstanding. Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants

Great experience. Great food!!!!

Excellent place

This is such a great casual dining experience. A cozy atmosphere with very good food including a nice lunch menu. The service is always good and the people are all friendly.

Partner ordered Redfish and it had a very strong fish smell and the flesh was not as firm as in the past. Unfortunately this had also spread to the pasta dish which had a strong fish smell.
I had the trio of Italian Pasta, Chicken Parmigiana and Lasagna. The chicken Parmigiana had too much breading on the chicken which in itself was extremely thin and the piece of lasagna was as equally thin.
A very disappointing meal overall offset by a very helpful staff who tried to salvage the night.

Good Food. Good Service. Light volume live music. This place is a real find.

The grouper with creamy white sauce, asparagus and lump crab meat was delightful. One of my very best meals ever. Great wine menu, fabulous service plus a very accomplished singer at the piano. I am ready to go back!

Awesome all the way around! Will be back!

Our first time dining out since the pandemic. The food was delicious and service was very nice without being obtrusive. They even gave my wife a beautiful créme brulee and a glass of champagne for her birthday. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants now.

Greatest
Love that they wear masks

We usually go for entrees but tonight ordered pizza on the recommendation of a friend. So glad. 18” Italian sausage, pepperoni, sun dried tomatoes, black olives, mushrooms, mozzarella and ricotta cheeses. It was over the top! Arancini for appetizer was wonderful. Lightly battered & fried with pieces of mozzarella melted in the center

This is a great Italian restaurant. The food was awesome and our server, Christopher, was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Food was average. My girlfriend got chicken piccata and the chicken was rubbery and had no flavor. Tasted like it was boiled instead of pan sautéed. Lasagna was just average. Best part of the meal was the lemon ricotta cake.

Wonderful entertainment. Staff was masked for the customers protection and all employees were friendly. Food was fresh and authentic. Looking forward to making this a regular dining out experience.

The food was excellent. The service was good. The atmosphere was excellent

LaContea is a hidden gem in Baton Rouge. The service and food is phenomenal. You won’t be disappointed!

First time there. Very enjoyable. Would go again.

Food was absolutely fantastic, service was pretty good although I wish my server would have asked us for a dessert menu before giving us a bill. The manager was extremely friendly and the music in the background was just the perfect addition to a serene atmosphere. I’ll definitely return here

Had been in the past and noise level was too high from group in a side dining room talking over each other to a singer walking around. This was beautiful background classical music. We will start going back

My wife and I have dined at La Contea a few times. The food and service have been consistently good, and the ambience is pleasant. We've enjoyed the two or three times that we've been there on the evenings when a live singer has entertained the diners, also. The last time we dined there, we were shown to a table that was fairly close to the entrance, and when we requested another table further toward the back, our request was granted graciously.

Valentine’s Day!

My wife and I ate there Last Saturday night...The food is always good...the service was poor. The waitress never offered to get us more wine..got bread with no butter...which was requested...very inattentive. We would have stayed for dessert but didn’t have the time to wait for her...so we paid and left..did leave a tip in case it wasn’t her fault...both managers were very busy helping out..overall ...not up to their standards

Waitress not very attentive, one of our entrees came after everyone else was finished eating .

We love going to La Contea. We were met promptly and seated. The food and service were great especially considering that it was such a busy night, Valentines Day.
Jim was singing which is always enjoyable.
My husband and I shared the crab cakes which are the best, even better than those we have eaten in New Orleans.
We ate the Pollo Marsala and the Polo La Contea which were both wonderful. Cannot wait to return next time we are in Baton Rouge.
Thanks so much for a wonderful evening!

It was very nice. We enjoyed our night. We will be in back!

This restaurant is one of the nicest ones we have been to in Baton Rouge. Wonderful atmosphere, service and food. The music with a singer made it all perfect. We enjoyed it so much and will make it a regular.

We were a party of 8 but only 1 drink menu was provided for the table. As soon as sone members were seated thexwaiter immediately asked if they had a drink preference when not everyone had a chance to view the drink menu. We had to ask for another drink menu.

We went for my child’s birthday and it turned out to be a fantastic evening. The food was very fresh and tasted delicious. There was a musician singing and added to the ambience. I feel as this is a top tier experience I would recommend to anyone.

Our appetizer, salad, and entree came out at the same time... there was no room on the table for anything to fit .... also my mixed drink that I ordered when he took drink orders came after entree was served

We had a very nice evening. Our reservation was ready when we arrived, and we enjoyed the piano music. Our server was very professional, friendly and helpful. No long waits between courses. She gave us some good advice about wine selection. The food was excellent. We will definitely be back and tell others how nice the evening was for our group!

Being with family.

This restaurant had amazing food and even had my favorite wine. I would definitely recommend going to this restaurant!

The best place we've been in a long time! Everything was great- from the live music to desert! Our server Kasey was awesome, definitely going back!

My husband and I come here often. The food is always good and the staff is great. Last night we had the rib eye, salad and crab cakes. Looking forward to returning.

This was our second time here. Great food both times. Very accommodating. Moved us at our request. Able to order off menu. Austin was very personable. Live music. Only problem was not getting beers ordered, so we ran to the bar to get them. It was a little busy due to it being New Year's Eve. I think we have a new place! FYI, the first time we came, people leaving were raving about how good it was as we were entering.

Wonderful New Year's Eve dinner. Loved the music. Will come back for another wonderful experience.

Always fantastic!!
