Food was delicious, and our server made great recommendations. The lounge singer was a nice touch, but our table was in a banquet room with a view of the bar and bartenders. We will be back, and hopefully, we will be seated in the main dining room next time.

Food, service and atmosphere is always wonderful. Only negative comment would be that the great singer was a bit too loud. We always enjoy the entertainment but it was sometimes difficult to speak over the sound.

Celebrated Valentines at La Contea. Have been there numerous times and they did not disappoint. Very good food and service. this is first time we have been there since Alfred became owner/executive chef and the food has only gotten better if that is possible. My favorite Italian place in Baton Rouge/.

Food was perfect. Busy night so the noise level was up and service a bit slower than usual. Also there's usually going to be the 1 exuberant patron who had to make a spectacle of herself 🙄. But all worth it as the regular pleasurable experience
