点评:We returned to Gino’s after many years. The reviews were very good and we were going to have dinner with friends. They don’t take reservations on line or email, so I called the restaurant. We arrived early for our reservations. The host was a bit reserved but took us to our table - not a great spot but then again we had 5 in our party. The waiter came over after about 5 minutes, never told us his name and asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered the blood orange Cosmos (EXCELLENT!) and my husband a beer (only have beer in the bottle). We waited for the rest of our party. After they arrived, it was another 5 minutes or so for the waiter to come back. He took their drink orders and we ordered appetizers - the calamari and the Capri salad (tomato and mozarella). He brought the appetizers but no bread which we thought was odd because there were butter packets on the table.
When time to take our orders, it turns out that our first options were not available - he never mentioned this when he gave us the menus. He was a bit gruff and impatient. We finally settled on Veal Marsala - good but very small portions - no accompanying salad and only an extremely small side of fettuccine Alfredo; the chicken alfredo (again no sides) and the grilled shrimp which came with a side of pasta.
As we sat, additional parties came in. It was definitely a place with older generation regulars. It looked like there might be live music at times but not the night we were there.
All in all, a decent dinner. The meals were a bit expensive (27 for the Marsala with no sides or salad) for the amount of food that you got compared with other Italian restaurants in the Baton Rouge area. I am not sure we would go back any time soon.
翻译:多年后我们回到了吉诺。评论非常好,我们打算和朋友共进晚餐。他们不接受在线或电子邮件预订,所以我打电话给餐厅。我们提前到达我们的预订。主人有点保留,但带我们去了我们的餐桌 - 不是一个好地方,但我们的派对再次有 5 人。大约 5 分钟后,服务员过来了,没有告诉我们他的名字,而是问我们想喝什么。我点了血橙 Cosmos(非常棒!),我丈夫点了啤酒(只有瓶装啤酒)。我们等待我们党的其余部分。他们到了之后,又过了5分钟左右服务员才回来。他接受了他们的饮料订单,我们点了开胃菜 - 鱿鱼和卡普里沙拉(番茄和马苏里拉奶酪)。他带来了开胃菜但没有面包,我们认为这很奇怪,因为桌上有黄油包。
当我们点菜的时候,事实证明我们的第一个选项不可用——他给我们菜单时从未提到过这一点。他有点粗鲁和不耐烦。我们最终选择了马尔沙拉小牛肉——味道不错,但份量很小——没有沙拉,只有极少量的阿尔弗雷多意大利细面条;阿尔弗雷多鸡肉(同样没有配菜)和配意大利面的烤虾。
当我们坐下时,又有新的聚会进来了。这绝对是老一辈常客的地方。看起来有时可能会有现场音乐,但不是我们在那里的那个晚上。
总而言之,一顿体面的晚餐。与巴吞鲁日地区的其他意大利餐厅相比,这些饭菜有点贵(没有配菜或沙拉的 Marsala 为 27)。我不确定我们会很快回去。
