The most delicious and affordable italian meal I’ve had from a restaurant. The lasagna was the best, look at all that meat!! My wedge salad speaks for itself (AMAZING) and this was a to go meal, I can’t wait to go back! They get 5 stars for sure

2 people, we got 1 cocktail, 1 mocktail, 2 appetizers and 2 entrees and spent right under $150, we were very surprised at the total!! I thought the food was okay. The best thing I ate was the grit cake appetizer, but my fiance absolutely loved his food!

My Wife and I went for the first time for our 50th Anniversary. Nice quiet low key restaurant, we had blacken shrimp appetizer. Wife ordered ribeye steak she loved it, I had the blacken fish w/Hollanaise sauce and crawfish. Sent it back to fishy for me, replaced with blacken chicken Alfredo sauce noodles, was good. Dessert was better than the meal, overall I would not go back, to expensive for my taste. My Wife said to give 4 stars . We do agree that our waiter Harold was Great, very fine waiter and courteous.

My husband and I were on a date night and were craving Italian food. We looked at our options locally and neither of us were familiar with La Contea Italiano Ristorante but the menu looked great, we were hungry and there were wait time at that moment. La Contea Italiano Ristorante far exceeded our expectations! The food and cocktails were amazing, lovely atmosphere, and service was impeccable! There was a guy singing live Rat Pack tunes who was great and added to the atmosphere. We can’t say enough good things about our experience! This will likely be our future anniversary or special occasions place!

Very nice experience in this family owned/operated Italian restaurant. Chef Alfred Kulici opened La Contea in 2017 and created a very welcoming atmosphere in this nice upscale restaurant.
The cuisine is very good with excellent and attentive service. The menu consists of traditional Italian dishes as well as steak and seafood.
We had Blackened red fish with lump crab hollandaise and traditional Veal Parmigiana. Both were very good and accompanied with a Sensation salad and side of pasta.
Excellent and extensive wine list as well as a full service bar.

My friends and I went for lunch today for the restaurant week special and had a phenomenal time. Our waiter, although I cannot remember his name, was very attentive and friendly with helping us decide what to order. I did the restaurant week special and got the Arancini ball, Beef short ribs, and German chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious and we had such a good lunch together. Will definitely be back and love this restaurant!

Excellent Italian food and the service is exceptional. Waitress was very personable and kept us engaged in conversation throughout our dining experience. Not really for the t-shirt and jeans or shorts crowd. Wonderful decor, semi dressy, great background music, and plenty of parking available. Another phenomenal option on Jefferson.

La Contea is a hidden gem ! The staff was welcoming, attentive, and very accommodating to my party of 20+ women. I loved the Tour of Italy and it was delicious! A few guests felt the pasta could’ve used a bit more seasoning as their dish was a tad bland, but overall the service and atmosphere were top tier. I would definitely visit again!

Nicole was phenomenal! So professional and kind. Very attentive. The restaurant week menu is very good. The pork was mid – but if you like a roast you’ll love it. It has that flavor pallet for SURE. Falls off the BONE. The tiramisu was some of the best I’ve had – let alone in Baton Rouge.
