BATON ROUGE. This local pizza chain, which now has franchises in Texas and Louisiana, was begun in 1991 and has built its business on top-notch ingredients, fresh-made dough (including whole-wheat), and attentive service. Pizzas come in three sizes and feature everything from Italian sausage and fresh spinach to Roma tomatoes and banana peppers. You'll also find paninis, pastas, and calzones, along with a variety of crisp, well-dressed salads. For dessert, look to tiramisu, chocolate-covered cannolis, and cheesecake.

BATON ROUGE. Tradition runs strong at this local Italian restaurant, which has been a Baton Rouge mainstay for well over a generation. Family-owned, Gino's delivers the best in southern Italian cuisine, and its romantic ambience calls out to couples celebrating special events. Among the specialties are seafood cannelloni, eggplant parmigiana, veal Marsala, grilled chicken and fish, and filet alla Laurence (char-broiled steak topped with shrimp and mushrooms). A handful of pizzas is also available, and dessert includes tiramisu and spumone. Terrific wine list too.
