Louie’s Italian American Review - East End - Houston - The Infatuation

"When the mood calls for warm lighting, crisp cocktails made by candlelight, and a mountain of red sauce, we turn to Louie’s, a warm Italian American spot in the Second Ward. Eating here feels like you’re enjoying a romantic home-cooked meal without having to do the dishes afterwards. That’s why most folks dining here are on at least their third date, and if they’re not, they’re probably sitting across from someone they’ve known for a decade. While you might see a few couples canoodling on the same side of the table, you can get just as cozy with the chicken parmesan that looks like it belongs in a dinner scene of The Sopranos, and the meatballs that are each the size of your fist. Add in a slab of buttery garlic bread and make googly eyes at your special someone while you two split a fluffy tiramisu. From the moment you step into Louie’s to your last spoonful of gelato, the quaint and effortlessly romantic energy of this place wraps you up and only turns you loose in time for you to waddle your car, stuffed with pasta. Come to Louie’s when you and your boo want to be wined, and dined or when you’re in the mood for a killer lasagna. Or both. photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel" - Gianni Greene

OMG! This restaurant is not just amazing, it’s a true culinary experience. I had heard it was a great restaurant but, honestly, I was just so surprised by the food. You can see the chef make the pasta by hand, their chicken is unreal. I have done several culinary tours in many cities around the world and I am just so glad to have found this hidden jewel here in Houston. Once you come one time, I get you’ll keep coming back. New favorite for sure.

Unique atmosphere with plenty of comfortable seating. Coffee quality is great. Staff was nice, ordered food and it came out within 10 minutes of ordering. This building is connected to a dozen other businesses so the bathrooms are shared between all businesses and is kept fairly clean. Ordered the Breakfast Piadina, was good but is enough for 2 people. Will be returning with friends.

This place was alright. Parking is minimal. The lot is tiny, however there is a decent amount of street space for parking. Hopefully the neighbors aren't too annoyed by it. I went for dinner on a Monday when they give a 20% food discount. The music was on the loud side. The furniture came across as cheap. Think it was my first time eating at an Italian restaurant with no tablecloth. The server was nice. The calamari was delicious. I like that they included a few whole pieces. The pasta was alright. Noodles were made from scratch and delicious ,but we were told it was going to be spicy and the sauce wasn't spicy at all so that was a bit disappointing. If I go back, I'd give the redfish a pass. It was mediocre. I enjoyed the roasted beets. The combination of flavors was really nice. The tiramisu was fantastic.

Blown away by the quality and execution of the food (breakfast, lunch & dinner menu items) pastries and drinks at Cafe Louie. The interior is brightly lit with modern decor and ample seating. It is obvious while watching through the open kitchen that the staff not only cultivate a great work environment but the attention to detail put into every dish is impressive. I will continue to visit, recommend it to others and hope you do too! 🥐 ☕️

Been following them on instagram for a while so when I finally was in town, I hit them up with friends and it did not disappoint. Loved everything!! The pasta was phenomenal. Such a cute space. The fried chicken was great as was the pumpkin dish

Was searching for new coffee shops and came upon this cafe in East End. I didn't try any of the food on this occasion - just a drip coffee (Guatemalan and Costa Rican beans from local Houston roaster, Amaya) while I did some writing and work on the laptop. It has a pleasant, bright interior with a good amount of seating for the space that it's in. The staff was super friendly, and the coffee was great. The only drawback is the lack of electrical outlets, of which there are almost none, which makes it less than ideal for doing work. Other than that, great spot which I plan on returning to.

My friends and I came for brunch today and I must say I was quite impressed with the food. Really tasty everything we got was really good I got the tumeric spritzer my friends gots the ice lattes. Everything was super delicious will come back to try other food item on the menu. However it is a bit on the pricy side. For a cafe I didn’t expect to spend $80 for 3 ppl. One think I did want to mention for more sanitary reason I wish their pastry items weren’t just sitting on the counter where every customer literally passes by it with out a barrier.

Great place for breakfast or lunch, affordable menu and different options for every taste. The servers are all great and the food is awesome. I tryed the abocado toast with a poached egg and it was great... make sure you try some of their pastries and coffee.
