Bistro Italia opened its new location on Tuesday, and this spot is almost twice as large.

At 15255 George O’Neal Road, the new Bistro Italia location is fully open for business. The New Jersey-born owner, Jon Wilkinson, said they had grown out of the old spot at Coursey Boulevard a couple of years ago.

The Italian restaurant opened 12 years ago in 2014 and serves pizzas, pastas, salads, wraps and sandwiches in a casual dining atmosphere.

Wilkinson wanted to create the same neighborhood restaurant, but aims to add a few new things. Some of those include expanded hours and some new menu items.

Bistro Italia, 15255 George Oneal Road, Baton Rouge. Open daily from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sundays.
