Monjuni’s

These people are rude. Take your money somewhere else. Rude rude rude rude rude rude!!!

During lunch, my husband asked for a plastic utensils because of his medical condition, and when they brought his food out, they did not have any or even mention bringing any over later. He asked again, and still, there was none brought over. Therefore, he asked for a manager and the manager did not apologize so he just left and did not eat his food. The people at Monjuni’s are rude and do not appreciate their customers. I will never eat at this establishment ever again. If I could give them no stars, I would.
I would rather just go to GINO’s where I know the food will be RIGHT ON and the service would be respectful!!!

Sugar, sugar and more sugar. Unfortunately that is all I tasted when I ate there Friday (¹⁄₁₅) night.
This was my first visit to monjunis, I was not disappointed when I was told there would be a 45 min wait; I’ve been told it was worth it. When it was our turn to be seated the hostess brought us to the back section and our server followed soon after. Good, they are on point with their service. We are brought some bread with the signature sauce and I am excited, this is what I’ve been waiting for. I am expecting flavors of garlic and oregano and all of those earthy Italian flavors, but am suprised when I have some sauce and it tastes like dessert.
We look over the menu some more to decide on our entrees and inquire about the type of sauce we are eating. The waiter tells us that the bread comes with a sweet sauce, as he brings out our appetizer of toasted ravioli. This part of the meal was delicious, with exception being the dipping sauce, which was somehow fizzy. With that being said we ordered our entrees. I chose the chicken parmasean and the boyfriend had the baked rotini with meat sauce. Our orders come out very prompt, but again taste like dessert. My chicken was crispy fried and the presentation looked amazing, but it did not have any of the flavors I was looking for in what I thought an Italian dish should be. The boyfriends dish looked awesome with all that melted cheese on top, but even with meat in the sauce it was not savory at all.
I would like to give it another chance, but with the bill being $ 46 plus with a tip I would rather go somewheres else and not be disappointed.

Everything I have eaten here has been very good! The spaghetti and meatballs are great!

Great, friendly service & a pretty awesome atmosphere. I’d recommend this restaurant for a date as the décor is somewhat like you’ve stepped in to an Italian restaurant in Paris. My girlfriend got the chicken Parmesan & said it was solidly good. I got the half serving of the veggie muffuletta. The half size was plenty of food. The sweet tea was really good as well.

Pretty disappointed. Everyone said the sauce and the lasagna is the best. I have to admit, the sauce is good. Really good. If you like a sweeter sauce. But the lasagna lacked substance. It was pretty much sauce and pasta drowning in sauce and a life preserver or two of cheese. Not much else. Not even meat.

Meh. Red sauce, red sauce and more red sauce with meat in it. Don’t get me wrong I know Italian food has a lot of red sauce dishes but I would expect an Italian resturant fo have a better selection or at least one olive oil/​butter based sauce maybe even a seafood dish??? Maybe I went in expecting something different but the menu choices did not appeal to me. My guest and I ended up having a drink and taking our hunger elsewhere.

I went here with my mom and the plate of shrimp aurora was gigantic! Neither of us could finish it. The atmosphere is fantastic, too! I would definitely recommend it.

Ok. I have great memories from the Monjunies in Shreveport. The red sauce is sweet. So if you don’t like sweet red get the Alfredo. The food is good-​not great. The Italian salad is good. The drinks are strong. Bring the kids AND get dessert!

This has always been a favorite place of mine, but not now. Last night we ate there and the food was not the best. I had the veal parmingia (sp??)and my girl friend had the the chicken parmingia. Her sister had the sampler plate. Every time i get the veal because its always been awesome. but this time it was luke warm at the best. You could see the steam coming off other peoples food that was sitting around us. All of our food was luke warm. im sure we will go back sometime but not anytime soon. Allie was our server and a bright light in a dim evening. She had multiple large groups of people. She always had a smile on her face and was still attentive to our table.

Quaint restaurant tucked away in the Old Goodwood area. Reminds me of a restaurant you would find in little Italy. Grapes are hung from the ceiling throughout. I had the Italian sampler. I recommend sharing this one as the portions were huge. Service was beyond stellar. Our waitress was very attentive.

Another one of my favorites from back home! Monjuni’s is my all time favorite Italian restaurant. I don’t get there as much as I’d like because it’s a little drive with lots of traffic from Prairieville to the Baton Rouge location.
For starters, toast with their sweet marinara sauce is brought out for snacking with your drinks. It’s so good, try and refrain from ruining your appetite! My husband and I usually have the Cajun shrimp toast for our appetizer, and split the lasagna. That’s more than enough food for the both of us. When I go without him I always have a difficult time choosing between the two! Most times I end up having the shrimp toast as my entrée.
The Cajun Shrimp Toast is phenomenal:). Cajun boiled shrimp atop their French bread, thinly sliced and toasted, with a tomato, and melted cheese… pepperoncini peppers are on the side, it’s an excellent flavor addition!
Now for the lasagna… what can I say… it’s delicious, mouthwatering, a definite must have! All pasta, meat, cheesy goodness! The signature sweet sauce is what makes this particular dish so amazing though!
My one and only disappointment with this location is that there is no mint tea. The Shreveport locations have the BEST tea I’ve ever had! Sweet tea with orange, lemon, and fresh mint. This would be total heaven if they brought in the mint tea!
If you haven’t been here, go give it a try, I guarantee you’ll be hooked!

If you’re looking for unique, memorable Italian food this is your place. Their sauce is like no other in the city and will leave a big impression. I actually crave it now!
When you arrive, dine on the most delicious french bread slices. Slather them in the sauce and you’ll easily fill up before your meal arrives!
Noteworthy dishes: shrimp aurora. It’s a mix of red and white sauces over thin noodles with shrimp baked in and sprinkles with cheese.
Another is the lasagna. Holy wow. I can hurt myself with these! You can order a sampler and try them all.
Finally, I love the chicken parm. So darned good. I always ask for extra red sauce because I always use it all!

This is one of the best restaurants in Baton Rouge in my opinion. Their marinara sauce is the best I’ve ever tasted. Plus everything is fresh and it has a good energy.

Love, love, love this place. Everything on the menu is delicious. Their lunch specials are awesome! If you’re in the mood for Italian food, look new further, come straight to Monjunies!!!

The food here is definitely exceptional. Desserts was wonderful.
Service was weird but not horrible by any means, which can happen anywhere at anytime. My wife loves this place and we will definitely come back; with better service I’d give this place 4 ½ stars.

Great place. Really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather and music. I would recommend going. Great service. We will be back.

My mom and her husband invited me and my partner to dinner here last night. My partner kept insisting that I’d been there before but I swore I hadn’t — trust me, I hadn’t — I’d have remembered the celing covered with plastic grapes hanging down!
Cute — almost chic… it was a lovely experience.
i had a muffaletto, a half though a quarter would have sufficed, and some garlic parmesean fries. Both were good, but my muff standards are pretty high considering my first was in my teens at the Napoleon House in New Orleans. I’d call if a 3 – 4 on a scale of 1 – 5. My partner had the special of the evening, $ 25 for an eggplant appetizer, broiled drom and a canolit for desert. My mom the antipasta plate and her hubby his standard spaghetti and meatballs.
All the food was good. Not «great» but definitely good. The server was attentive, but not so much that I recall his name.
The prices weren’t all that reasonable — on the high end of the range — $ 15 — 20 for an entrée; $ 13 for an appetizer of fried calamari.
The drinks were good — mom and I both had Grey Goose dirty martiinins straight up and they were nicely poured and had an appropriate amount of vodka. According to my partner the house Cabernet was lovely, and though they were out of my step-father’s first pick of beers, they did have his second.
The ONLY issue was that the «special» for «Baton Rouge Night Out» — a restaraunt funrider with some of the proceeds donted to the local food bank, was suppose to come with a Strawberry Cannoli for desert — which my partner ordered to go since she was stuffed from her meal. Unfortunately she didn’t check the to go bag before she left and the next day when she went to get her cannolli she found instead a bread pudding which she found rather too thick and chewy.
So, word of advice is CHECK YOUR TO GO BOX before you leave or you might wind up with a surprise.
A tad pricey, but a really interestingly decorated atmosphere with lovely, if unmemorble, service.
Not my favourite Italian place in town, but perhaps worth doing again just to see where it goes from there.

No ranch. Not a deal breaker, just a heartbreaker. I’m not picky and I haven’t been to too many Italian restaurants, but I will be returning.
Good for dates.
I’m satisfied.

I have semi-​high standards for Italian food, and I love Monjuni’s. The red sauce is delicious, and luckily, they sell it in jars! Portions are generous, but I always wish I had more leftovers. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, and I usually can’t say no to their cheesecake.
This review would be five stars if based entirely on the food, but I’ve had a couple inattentive servers at Monjuni’s. Not even close to a dealbreaker, but something to consider if you’re on a schedule.
