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...
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...
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'...
Fantastic spot! The ambiance is top tier- great music, excellent service, and all around great vibe. Stopped in for a reservation last night for our girls night and our server (Courtney I believe) was an absolute doll. The drinks were wonderful- try their espresso martini and thank me later. For apps we had the eggplant dip, Brussel sprouts and burrata pizza. They were all delicious. The pizza was chewy and fresh- about 7 slices. Brussels had Parmesan I believe and a lemony flavor- so good. Eggplant dip came with naan bread and was a great sharing app. They bring out complimentary foccacia bread with oil too and it's to die for. One huge piece per person! For entrees, most of us had the hali...

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...
The most perfect birthday dinner! Every single staff member was beyond kind. They all wished me happy birthday and I was amazed how they all knew. The service started off with focaccia bread and oil and it was so pillowy soft and delish. We both ordered wine and cocktails and they were great. Our server told us the pasta was handmaid so we knew we had to try it. The pasta was soft and the sauce was incredible. They surprised us with a chocolate torte for my birthday which was so sweet and it was amazing. Parking was super easy, they have tons of street parking. Inside dining is moody and dark which is perfect for a date night. It's not loud in there either so makes for good conversation. Ove...
We got our reservation over a month out and still had to settle for an 8pm slot on a Friday night. Definitely worth the hype and the wait. The service is top notch and the food was incredible. The brussels sprouts... oh my. The best I've ever had. We split an Italian salad. It was delicious. The table bread was very good, a little over seasoned and salty but you can easily brush the seasoning off the bread. I ordered a special for the night, Pea Ravioli. It was fantastic. The pasta is made fresh in house and it's perfect. My boyfriend ordered the Chitarra pasta and he loved it. The restaurant is relatively small and has a nice bar. It's very romantic and cozy. Highly recommend!
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!

One of the best in STL. Love the gnocha. And the prosciutto. Wine and service is also good.
