A little about LaContea….

 

Mr. Kulici is currently pursuing his professional chef career here in Louisiana.  After 25 years he has devoted an exasperating amount of time and creativity to the art of food and hospitality.  Consistency and culinary drive set his goals to constant expansion and entrepreneur opportunities that are currently unfolding here in Louisiana.

​

One of Kulici’s favorite elements of being a family-owned establishment is his ability to be on premise with his patrons every day.  His most enjoyable aspect of his day-to-day position is cultivating lasting relationships with his patrons.

 

LaContea Italian Restaurant has now been open since February of 2017.  The modern Italian ambiance and cuisine is touched with elements of traditionalism and flavor that brings more nuance to the idea of comfort Italian food.  Mr. Kulici finds a delicious balance with his seasonal changing menu that features wonderful fresh seafood options and diverse signature Italian Dishes.  His most recent expansion is his most recent purchase of Louisiana Lagniappe which is a longtime favorite here in Baton Rouge.

 

Mr. Kulici just released his most recent updated seasonal menu as of May of 2025 with a variety of new modern seafood and pasta dishes.  

 

With over 170 different wines to choose from, LaContea is constantly expanding its repertoire to create a masterpiece selection that truly has something for everyone.  When on premise Kulici will invest attention to intentional wine pairings for his creative dishes and has several wine suggestions for a wonderful dining experience.

Mr. Kulici gives extreme attention to detail with the selection and maintenance of every element of his establishment to create a wonderful and enjoyable environment that keeps people coming back again and again.  His love and passion for culinary excellence and creating a memorable environment is very apparent in the flavor and consistency of his restaurant.
