Fabulous food, service and the eclectic decor makes this place a must try! Go early before the rush. Ask for Emily as your server! Oh and the Tiramisu is not to be missed!

This place is a little gem in the East Bank District. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, I adore the walls that have been written on by years and years of customers. The place has charm and character for sure. The service was amazing and we felt taken care of the entire time. Of course, most importantly, the food was excellent!! My husband enjoyed the dinner special and I had the Ravioli Michele. Lastly, for dessert, we got the tiramisu. It was absolutely incredible, I could’ve shamelessly eaten 10 portions of it. I definitely recommend this place for a sweet date night.

We haven’t done L’Italiano in a while. Apparently we’ve been missing out. Located along barksdale boulevard in the newly emerging East Bank entertainment area this restaurant is a high class alternative to bar food type dining.
We were greeted and seated promptly upon our arrival and chose the crab claws for our appetizer. This is probably the first time we’ve ever had warm crab claws but it won’t be the last. The marinade was amazing and the crab claws were so tender they just melted as you ate them. Of course we used some of the complementary sliced hot bread to soak up the remaining marinade.
Normally on our entrees we are a little more adventurous than we were tonight but it has been so long since we had the tortellini Aurora that we had to go for it. It certainly didn’t disappoint, great flavor great taste and just the right size portion to allow us a small carry home for a good reminder of a great dinner.
We were here on a Monday night celebrating a birthday but the restaurant was hopping and the staff was hopping with it, still the service was excellent. They were available when they were needed and nowhere around when we were busy with our conversation. Perfect, absolutely wonderful birthday evening!

We tried this restaurant on a Thursday evening. Looks nice on the outside and as you walk in you will see a the dining area on the right, and some guy playing Magic the Gathering ccg on the left. As we sat in the very back of what felt like a cramped dining space, we were greeted by our waiter fairly quickly. I inquired about their beer selection, they only had two; I think Coors & Michelob Ultra. The wine was about $8 a glass. So I ended up oredering a Dr. Pepper, which came out in a glass & in a small bottle that it came in; I’d take this over fountain drinks any day. Our waiter was great, very attentive even though he was sweating like he was running a marathon. Our bread was fresh and delicious. My wife had ordered some smoked salmon as an appetizer, that ended up coming out after our entrées. But she enjoyed the salmon. Her entrée was shrimp on top of spinach, this dish was pretty good. I ordered cheese stuffed tortellini with a tomato based meat sauce. The meat sauce was good but the tortellini was bland, I forgot they were suppose to be stuffed with cheese as it was flavorless. A friend of mine had ordered their special, which was some fish with a side of spaghetti. He enjoyed the fish but when he got his small side of spaghetti to go he added some meat sauce to it. The amount of sauce is probably barely one large spoon since it was such a small serving of spaghetti & he was charged $6. I had a large plate of tortellini with far more meat sauce & was charged the $6, you would think there would be a price difference. The atmosphere was nice, the waiter was good, the food was a hit or miss on somethings, a bit overpriced, imo, but the place maybe worth another visit for a different Italian dish.

Prepared for a trip to Shreveport and wanted to find a nice Italian restaurant. This was it!!!!!the Service was excellent!!! I got the chef special which was fantastic. My wife enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo. You have to try the crab claw appetizer it was amazing!!!! Really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. Next trip to Shreveport we will definitely be going back!!!!

Not very good. The mixed vegetables were served well before the entree sitting in oil and covered with and excessive amount of salty lemon pepper seasoning. The server was oddly non-chalant and wasn’t very attentive. The food took a very long time to come out and when it did it just wasn’t very good. I got the chicken Paradiso and the strongest flavor I tasted was the grill on the chicken. Don’t look up if you visit the bathroom. Best thing I can hope for after that meal is that I don’t get sick.

This is seriously GREAT food.
The sourdough bread with butter and vinegar/oil is amazing. My redfish was really good. I just returned from the beach and it was better here than the seafood restaurants. I also had the Alfredo which was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Ever.

I felt a little under dressed when we walked in and looked at the menu. But after looking around at others and at the walls, I felt better. I hated that they sat us next to the host stand. Fried mushrooms were totally burnt but lucky for them, we didnt mind that. Chairs we sat in were uncomfortable. We really enjoyed the food though!

Definitely a place that I would suggest getting reservations before you show up. Very fancy and nice different spin on decorations I really liked food and the atmosphere and service was excellent.

We have been here many times over the years, and tonight was nothing short of disappointing. After ordering one of the only non gluten entrees on the menu (I know it’s Italian, but I have been here many times and was prepared, I knew they had redfish and mahi, lol) I was told I couldn’t substitute the side that came with it, spaghetti, but I could add another side at full price. The fact that a $36 piece of fish comes with only a very small side of spaghetti is disappointing anyway, no salad, no vegetables, nothing else. I ordered a side of grilled eggplant, it had decent flavor, but was floating in olive oil. The mahi mahi blueberry cream sauce was actually very good, but I can’t imagine the blueberry sauce going well with marinara. The mahi mahi New Orleans (special tonight) was very well presented, but the flavor was sweet, maybe honey, don’t recommend it. Our waiter was ok, not very attentive, but not terrible. The host was probably the least personable person in the place, definitely should not be the person every diner interacts with. It’s just not what it used to be, sad.
