Louise's Trattoria

In Short – This SoCal mini-chain uses blond-wood tables, cheery primary-colored details and piped-in hits from Sinatra to Armstrong to bring new meaning to the phrase "happy meal." Families and low-key diners are endlessly plied with herb-encrusted focaccia and olive oil. Wood-fired pizzas are topped with California-style ingredients (bean sprouts, Asiago cheese). Other Americanized Italian fare includes lunchtime favorites like finely chopped salads and dinner entrees such as grilled salmon with artichoke relish and a slate of seasonal pasta dishes.

Tasty Food & Great for Catering

by LBcali at Citysearch

We have had Louise's catered into our office for the past couple lunch meetings we had and it was great! They have a wide variety to offer and everything tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend the meatballs and various kinds of pizza.

Best meatballs in LA!

by DrivThruBandit10 at Citysearch

This will be the second time I have eaten at Louises's Trattoria and I think that their food is amazing! The spaghetti with meatballs is very light and does not weight me down after a nice, full lunch. There is something about their meatballs that always makes me want to go back for more. Other great items on their menu are their fettucini alfredo and pizza. Check it out!

I eat here quite frequently (2-3x a month). The service is always great and the food is superb. Just what I expect each time - a great place for lunch with friends and family.
