Casa Louie

Oh this place was amazing. I expected it to be good and it exceeded my expectations. The meatballs were super flavorful and delicious, worth writing home about. I’d never had meatballs with so much flavor. I thought maybe the chef uses veal, pork and beef, BUT NO. Turns out they’re made with dry aged beef. And that’s what gives them such a great flavor. The malfadine with the meat sauce is also delicious. I loved the chocolate lava cake. And the tiramisu was superb. The portions and prices are completely fair, which is a nice find in NYC.

This place wowed me. My husband and I booked this on a whim on New Year’s Day since we were in the area.. Can I just say how happy I am that we did? Food: incredible, homemade, authentic Italian dishes. The fried mozzarella was amazing and that sauce!!! The sauce!! So good. We split the chicken parm (which was massive) and we soon wished we had double of the pasta that came with it. As if it couldn’t get any better, the gelato was probably one of the best desserts we have ever had. The service was great and our server/bartender was attentive, friendly, and overall a joy! Especially for having to work on a holiday. We will absolutely make it a point to be back- and we are from PA! So happy we found this.

Ambiance (5/5): There was plenty of seating both indoor and outdoors so we were seated immediately on a weekday. The inside is minimalistic but sleek, and has plenty of space between the diners. Booth seating along the walls and areas that can accommodate larger groups. Service (5/5): We were helped throughout the dining experience. Additional freshly grated cheese offered at the start of the meal! Hot Louie : The pizza was delicious (although something could be improved in the dough)! After we finished eating, we asked our server if he preferred the Sicilian vs the regular and he preferred the regular. Pro tip: you can also ask for the Hot Louie but cooked on normal pizza. Mafaldine Bolognese (5/5): I loved the pasta more than the pizza! It just had so much flavor and was generous on the

My daughter and I both have celiac disease We were looking for a restaurant for our first night in New York City. He was a party of five including 3 teenagers &.2 adults. We found this restaurant and were blown away with the food and the service. We had an amazing server – grandpa Ben – he made our experience better than we could’ve imagined! If we lived here, we would be back at least once a month. I highly highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the city.

We went here for the first time last night. The atmosphere was perfect, food was amazing, service was top of the line. The pizza here is top of the line and plenty of gluten free options. I heard they make the crust from scratch and you can tell it was delicious. Highly recommend trying Casa Louie. Thank you to the chef and his staff. Job well done!
