Our Story

Louise's has been growing over the past 9 years into a true Italian/American Eatery. You can find yourself something to eat any time of day here. Offering a real homemade experience from a real "mom & pop" shop some might say, but in here it's a mother and son duo like you wouldn't believe! You can still find Louise every day bouncing between the kitchen and the front of the house, making some of her famous creations like her award winning meatballs, cannolis and custom cakes. Her son Mikey still helps out and is known for making some pretty big Italian sandwiches and tiramisu. The one thing that sets Louise's apart from the rest is their constant passion to make you happy through food. When you walk into Louise's, it's like walking into a blast from the past. From the smell of the sauce, to the old school Italian music, to the mom trying to feed you even if you aren't hungry, there's just something about this place that hits you a little different then the rest.... but don't take our word for it.
