Louies Italian American

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

First time there. Recommended by a friend. We really liked it. The staff / service is very nice and professional. We loved the food and will be back We share the arancini appetizer . I had the Tahitian Marsala pasta. My husband had the chicken parmigiana and we had the broccolini side . All were excellent

This was such a solid choice for Italian food. On the outskirts of 2nd ward/ Eado is this new restaurant. Vibes are like a trendy version of an Italian american cafe with indoor windows to see the chefs. I loved that the place was not too loud and you could have a conversation with your table. The pasta here is homemade and rigatoni was splendid. Cocktails were well made. The waiter was absolutely wonderful and very attentive.
