Baton Rouge, get ready for a delicious Italian adventure! A new restaurant, Josephine's Italian Cuisine, is about to spice up the Mid City neighborhood. But this isn't just any ordinary eatery; it's a culinary homage to the co-owner's Sicilian heritage.
Josephine's is set to open its doors on January 22nd, offering dinner service in the former Roman's Cafe location on Government Street. The menu is a love letter to co-owner and executive chef Russell Davis' grandmother, featuring her cherished recipes. Expect mouth-watering classics like lasagna, cannoli, and stuffed shells, all crafted with a personal touch. But here's where it gets intriguing: the menu also boasts a range of appetizers, soups, salads, and pizzas baked in their very own pizza oven. Yes, you read that right—freshly baked pizzas!
The dessert menu is a sweet affair, showcasing Italian favorites such as panna cotta and tiramisu. And for those who love variety, Josephine's will offer daily specials and Sunday brunch. It's the perfect spot for a weekend treat!
The restaurant's interior is just as impressive, thanks to the creative minds at local design firm Workshop 31-Twelve. They've crafted a dining space that's both inviting and stylish.
Russell and his wife Sally Davis are no strangers to the Baton Rouge food scene. They also own the popular Eliza Restaurant and Bar and Jed's Local. With their latest venture, they aim to bring a unique dining experience to Mid City.
Mark your calendars for a dinner date at Josephine's this week, starting from 4 p.m. on opening day. Regular hours will be announced soon, and reservations are already available on their website. Don't miss out on this exciting new addition to the city's culinary landscape!
And this is the part most foodies will appreciate: a restaurant that honors family traditions while offering a modern dining experience.
