    Food was excellent. Service was great, but it did take a while to get our check. Loved the guy they had in there singing. Really added to the ambiance.

    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/.
