The Little Village located in the heart of Baton Rouge’s budding downtown is an easy choice for a romantic encounter. Despite its young age, the restaurant’s sign, tall windows and heavy large doors remind us of a place that has fostered romantic dinners for generations. With ease, The Little Village feels like a downtown staple where people reminisce about their engagements, anniversaries and birthdays.

Behind the door is a cheerful hostess in front of a large hutch that any self-respecting Italian grandmother would proudly display in her home. In keeping with the authentic Italian décor, black and white photos of a young Louisiana mingle with the Old Country adorning the walls. Intimate table settings accompanied with low lighting provide the environment for meaningful exchanges and thoughtful glances.
