"After a long day of work and a client event right after, my colleague suggested going to Louie. She was able to make a reservation for 9:30 but we were seated when we arrived at 8:50. I have only been to this place once and it was years ago, so I was excited to be back and try something new. While walking to our seats, I couldn't help but notice the mixture of aromas, all pleasant but piquant at the same time. This place is quaint and cozy but perfect for a nice dinner any day of the week. After browsing the menu, we decided to split an order of brussel sprouts and I chose the El Tigre for my cocktail. Each drink I've ever had with Mezcal has surprised me because aside from the smokiness, I never knew what to expect. This drink was perfect. It was smooth, not too smoky but perfectly balanced with the blood orange and lime. It also contains Angostura but I'm not sure I would have recognized it. Either way, it was super refreshing and I'd def. order it again. The brussel sprouts arrived after a little while and were just as I had hoped. Perfect char yet crispy, while seasoned with pecorino and lemon. I'm mad the picture I took came out blurry, because me telling you about them without seeing it doesn't do them justice. It was at that point we were given our complimentary bread and olive oil. Don't be deceived by the picture as it's a large block of bread! I'm unsure which seasonings they used on top but it def. has a kick, so beware. It's soft yet filling, so I'd suggest nibbling as to not get full before your entree. The olive oil was light and fresh and paired well with the bread, so well that I didn't even bother to ask for my normal balsamic and parm to accompany it. After we finished those, our entrees came. This was my first time ever eating Chitarra and I'm happy to announce it was a winner! The server said the chilli used for the sauce was Calabrian and does have a kick, so I opted for the smallest amount possible. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and had the perfect ratio of sauce to noodle. Lest we forget the generous Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, not too much to over power the dish but enough to complement it in the best way. The tomato sauce was bright and robust, bursting with flavors and this was the first time I could taste how fresh the tomatoes were. That def. made a difference. Since it was late, I only got a few bites and boxed the rest. It was probably best I tapped out when I did because I was still salivating over the brussel sprouts and the bites of pasta I had. By then, our server came and brought a dessert menu but we both declined. This was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The service was superb from start to finish and the ambiance was on par with everything you'd expect. I can't wait to come back."

I have been waiting to get into Louie and wow it is worth the wait. Reservations book up quickly and it makes sense. The service is so friendly and helpful. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be returning!

Great location! Large patio for seating, good food and excellent service from all the staff. Good spot to watch the big game and to have a small party. Food picks would be the Salmon sliders and Philly Cheese steak Dip. View menu

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner featuring excellent service. The dinner specials were delightful, including homemade pastas, fresh Burrata, and warm focaccia bread. With friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere, it made for a fantastic evening out.

I didn't take photos because I was too busy stuffing my face! Jordan was the most attentive and responsive waiter we have ever had. He engaged with our boys (3 all under 5) and even brought them pens and paper to color. Everything was delicious--the hummus (better than some Mediterranean restaurants we have eaten at), sweet potato ravioli and mussels. My critique--the mussels were small and the middle of our margarita pizza was not fully cooked. We would spend a lot of money at this place if we lived closer!

Louie is an absolute gem in St. Louis. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and inviting decor set the tone for an incredible dining experience. The service was impeccable--our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and made great recommendations. We started with the wood-fired pizza, which was perfectly crisp with just the right amount of char. The pasta dishes were fresh and flavorful, and you could tell the ingredients were top quality. The seasonal vegetable sides were a nice touch, adding a light and delicious balance to the meal. The wine list is well-curated, and the dessert, especially the olive oil cake, was a perfect end to the night. Louie is the kind of place where every... View menu

TL:DR Probably the best Italian in St. Louis. Just west of Forest Park in the historic neighborhood of De Mun, you'll find Louie, an elegant Italian restaurant with a warm, inviting glow. Upon entry, you will be greeted by a friendly hostess who will ask if you have a reservation... let's hope you did or be prepared to wait! Assuming you are able to get a table get ready for one of the best dinners you'll find in the city. The menu has a good variety of both delicate and robust dishes and is divided into three sections: starters, mains, and pizza. Dishes are executed with finesse and have a clear focus on fresh ingredients and in house preparation. Portions are large enough to satisfy but I'...

MUST TRY ALERT! Every year I always go to an Italian restaurant for my birthday. Louie blew my socks off! I don't say this lightly, since I am always scoping out the best Italian restaurant to try. Service Exceeded expectations. When we walked in the host checked us in and notice I was celebrating a birthdays. She immediately gave me a celebratory cheer. Then when we met our server, she also wish me a happy birthday. Those small details matter! Liz was our server and all her recommendations were amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and what pairs best together. Check in were just right and staff was attentive. Ambiance Such a cool vibe! The place was smaller but not crowde...
