With the recent popularity of diners, drive-ins and dives (we can thank food personalities like Guy Fieri for that) visitors and locals are really seeking out local “mom and pop” restaurants in Baton Rouge. Nestled back in a quiet retail strip off Florida Blvd, you might not notice one of the best hidden gems of Louisiana’s Capital City. Anthony’s Italian Deli is the oldest Italian deli in Baton Rouge boasting authentic homemade cuisine for over 30 years. This small deli is charmingly cozy and the staff does their best to make you feel as if you are part of the family.
