The Little Village - Downtown

honestly the best food I have had in a long time. Visiting from AR. Great service also

While in Baton Rouge for the Southeastern Rodeo we grabbed a bite to eat at Little Village. We did not have a reservation but luckily there was high top table seating in the bar area. It worked great for us because we were able to take advantage of the happy hour drink specials. I opted to order the Flirtini made with Tito's vodka, pineapple juice and a few other ingredients. Nice drink! We ordered calamari as an appetizer and shared the Louisiana seafood medley pasta. I also ordered a cup of gumbo. I really enjoyed the gumbo (seafood gumbo). Nice flavor and the rue was the perfect consistency. The calamari was good. The Louisiana seafood medley was okay plenty of shrimp and crab meat but the price point is a little high.

This experience was really disappointing. The food was extremely bland, I wasn't able to eat more than a few bites even after adding salt and pepper. The calamari was decent, it wasn't spongy like it is at other restaurants, which i liked. The service was horribly slow, we waited over two hours to get our food. I wish this meal was better. I am sad

Absolutely the best bread ever. Crusty on the outside, and soft on the inside. Served on just enough garlic and oil to be perfection. The lasagna had more meat than pasta. Very good flavor. The kitchen graciously accommodated a request for the clams to have red sauce instead of menu description.

Bad just bad. I used to love this place. Won't be back after tonight. Even the bread was disappointing.

Dined on a Friday at 515 and was underwhelmed by the food. Both servers at the bar were very friendly. The Lobster Bisque was bland and clearly heated up in a microwave, it was a miss. The Chicken Parm was delivered and at first appearance it looks appetizing but the breading quickly flopped off upon cutting and ended up with a massive amount of soggy slop at the top of the plate. $9 for a cup of microwaved soup and $21 for soggy chicken parm isn't worth the price, head elsewhere.

Wonderful food. Fabulous service. Will definitely be returning on my next pass thru BR. Walking distance from downtown hotel. Bread is as good as they claim it is. But rosemary mashed potatoes were even better.Thanks to my waiter Jeremy for making me feel welcome.

One star because I woke up at 3:30am after having dinner here at 7pm with the worst stomach pain in my entire life. I believe it was food poisoning. I had chills, vomiting, and of course the frequent visit to the bathroom. We ordered the bread, fettuccine, and lasagna. Fettuccine had no flavor, tasted like you were drinking milk from the carton. Lasagna had no flavor. Order the bread and leave. I have not been here since December 2022, I have dined at this establishment twice now. All times were great and food was great. I am not sure if they changed owners or what happened since then but I would not wish my experience on my worst enemy. The service was good. The food was really bland. Please be cautious next time you dine here. I also saw another review 6 months ago and he/she also had food poisoning.

Everything was amazing the raspberry lemon drop was to die for, we got started with the seafood stuffed mushrooms and the half loaf of bread because well you have to get the bread you'll understand after you've had it just trust me order the bread. Next for our entrees I got the grilled limone over corn and it was my favorite will probably order the same thing next time I go, my boyfriend got the veal alla parmigiana and it was also delicious.Our waiter was great he was young and I don't recall his name but we have great service the entire night. The we had dinner on a Thursday night and it wasn't to noisy or busy the place had great ambiance and we really had no complaints at all. Sadly I did not leave room for dessert we had went to the tunnel ( a new speakeasy type bar not to far) before hand had had a couple drink so I had no room at all left for dessert. Next time I will though!

This was the worst service I've ever had in the city. Raw garlic served in the entree, cold food. It's not what it use to be and don't chase nostalgia here, because it's best remembered in the past. This manager needs to be fired. In reading other reviews they've called the cops on clients they've given bad service to, there's a problem here that's noticeable but apparently if you're some overweight lawyer or state worker then you get the good treatment.This place should just close. If you want a good dining experience look elsewhere.
