Gino’s Restaurant has been a favorite staple of the Baton Rouge restaurant community for over fifty years. Gino’s was established in 1966 by the Marino family including Vincent, Mama, Gino, Laurence and Frances. The family originated in Siculiana, a town in the province of Agrigento, Sicily, where Mama was born. Vincent arrived in the United States in 1955, followed by Laurence in 1957 and then Mama, Gino and Frances in 1958. Sadly, Vincent, the patriarch of the Marino family, passed in 1970, and Mama Grace, the beloved matriarch, in June 2017. Throughout its history, Gino’s Restaurant has been and continues to be 100% family owned and operated.
Homestyle Italian dishes in a quaint setting from a family-owned fixture dating to the ’60s.

Authentic Italian American restaurant with a homey yet upscale vibe. The server was impeccable.
I had the lunch special veal. The spaghetti that accompanied the veal was the star though. I could drink that red sauce. The veal was prepared perfectly, but it lacked flavor.
My daughter’s lasagna was delectable as well as the house bread and vinegarette for the salad.
I’d definitely return for a date night.

This place was awesome. The waiter was so professional and helpful. His recommendation for the lamb chops was spot on. Some of the best I’ve ever had. The wine he recommended paired beautifully. The bowtie pasta side dish was great too! Such an elegant atmosphere.

The food was amazing!! I haven’t been to Gino’s since my brother was in culinary school in the 2000s. It was like going back home it’s an old restaurant with amazing simple food. I had the tortellini, and it has alfredo sauce on it . It’s the best sauce . My mom had cannelloni one with red sauce and one with white. She said it was amazing. Service was great and we got dessert togo . I had the pistachio cake it was a first and omg it was good. Mamma Gino’s recipes are classic and traditional I highly recommend. I know she is missed definitely make reservations and go!!

First time going yesterday for Valentine’s Day .
Got the big meat ball with red sauce app and bread (forgot the name ) very delicious, sauce was a little sweet but still great. The mushroom ravioli , delisciousss sauce and ravioli as well. Caprese salads were bright and fresh . My husbands entree the veal Parmesan , with a fried cutlet , red sauce and Parmesan on top also came with a side of spaghetti for 26$. His
Portion was reasonable. My entree was the seafood stuffed shells ( also Forgot the name ) it has two 2in x 4in logs stuffed pasta shell. Pasta shell were a bit too al dente. There was a white sauce and some odd red sauce on top. The whole dish was void of flavor and seemed extremely lackluster for$28. The cocktails were absolutely the best part of the meal . Italian 75 and the margarita are two I would go back for .
Server was Jagger , a little stingy with the cheese but wonderful server . Very polite and intuitive and professional.
Atmosphere was beautiful with love piano playing in the background .
Did our whole meal seem worth $200 we spent , not really .

It’s was really good for a packed Thursday night in fact ,we couldn’t even find a place to park and had to park across the street which many others did after we parked there. Olivia our waitress was really good, very nice, great attitude , but also very busy. When the place is packed like it was that night it’s hard to wait on everyone at the same time so the wait was a little longer than we would have hoped for but still reasonable . Maybe a few more waiters or waitresses would have helped the situation. Gino was there and the band was really good. Very old musicians who had been there for 40 years Gino told me but they were solid and played very low which is hard to do and still sound good. The food was excellent and more than enough to fill us easily.
I read many of the reviews before we went (group off 7) there and just don’t get the 1 star reviews , as that is not how this place is in fact would say it’s bashing more than anything. As for what size group would be favorable I’d say 2 to 4 as a large section requires more time and in a packed place like this can be a time consuming event so if there is an improvement Gino could make that would be it. That being said Olivia was great and would go back again in a heartbeat.

This place feels like one of those plazas in Italy with their interiors. We started with the Lawrence bread. My date got the veal Parmesan with a side of spaghetti and I got the veal Tomahawk special, which was an absolutely splendid chunk of meat. At the end, I was picking it up and eating the meat off the bone like a true caveman. The bowtie pasta came on the side and was also fantastic. I forgot what the dessert was called, but it was also super good.

While visiting Baton Rouge we decided on Italian. Picked this place. Service was Great and read Great reviews but unfortunately it didn’t live up to the 5 star people we’re giving it. Didn’t have the taste we we’re expecting. Still was worth going but wouldn’t go back. There we’re a lot of items on the menu they we’re out of, so that sucked.

Lunched here with a group of twelve people and our group had reservations. I got the spegetti with meatballs and the taste was lacking to say the least; no flavor! Once the group was finished, it took more than an hour to receive the checks (checks were separate). There was only one moderate sized group remaining in the restaurant. The atmosphere was dark and the table groupings a little close for comfort. The prices were a little high for a lunch munch.

Beautiful place. Customer service experience from a bald headed server was really bad. I honestly didn’t care for his rudeness as long as the food was good.
I am a security guard that can only treat myself every so often. I was paid last Friday and thought about having a nice meal after a long 60hrs work week and the chicken parmigiana was so bad. The chicken was rubber. I am 6’4 260 lbs, so hungry, and I didn’t want to finish my meal, it wast taste at all. The garlic bread that is complimentary in any Italian cantina was charged $6 and it was really good.
I would love to have a different experience there so I could go back.
The waiter that was having a bad day said he would talk to the chef. I reply: you don’t even care, don’t bother it. Nothing will come from that.
Paid the bill with the extra $6, no tip because how can you not have a good chicken parmigiana at an Italian cantina.

Older restaurant that is popular with locals and reasonably priced entrees. Their lasagna is good, with a little heavier on the cheese. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and wine while passing through Baton Rouge. They even had live music when we arrived.
