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.

*Never Again*

by Coli Benet at Citysearch

Okay, my friends and I finally decided to go to Louise's after about an hour debate. One friend raved about their salad, which happened to be the best thing I ate that night (besides the bread, it was delicious). It was a Monday night so not too busy, right? It took forever to bring us water, and I saw it going down hill from there. Two of us ordered from a pre-fixed menu which included: soup or salad, entree', and dessert, all for $20 (add wine for $5), good deal right? Would've been if the food wasn't sooo gross! I don't know how you mess up chicken parmesan but they did. There was hardly any marinara sauce on the chicken,the alfredo sauce was watery, and my friend had salty spinach. Not to mention I ordered white wine, they gave me red, then when they gave me white it was hot! Our server was really nice, he was just really slow. It was a Hot Mess, I would never eat here again, you'd be better off going to The Olive Garden!

My favorite waiter, Rob, is always so friendly, courteous, and attentive each and every time I come here. The other staff is great of course as well. The food is excellent here as well - I usually get some takeout on my way out the door for the next day! I highly recommend Louise's - best Italian in Studio City.
