Louie's - Allentown

Great food! Great staff! Bang for your buck! Louie's is a one of a kind Italian restaurant with a warm welcoming family atmosphere from the time you walk...

Louie's USED to be good. Three of us went last night, and two had pasta dishes. Not only was the pasta precooked, but it was boiled to hell exactly like...

We sat at a high peak in the bar area to enjoy happy hour martinis and apps. for happy hour many of their 10 unzen martinis are reduced and they were delicious. the doz clams w/brown butter app was delish, we also enjoy great calimari and rehearse the fried mozzarella. on Tuesday they have rabated their pasta sampler. we also enjoyed that, but most of it went to the house on Wednesday! it also came with a small antipasto salad and mini-Kola. the personal was friendly, efficient and professional. the decor is beautiful. we will definitely come back!

We have been going here for 15 years since college and it is as delicious as it was back then. We love the chicken a la mia(artichokes, fresh mushrooms, and chicken with linguini! ,eggplant parm was so tasty and the homemade tomato sauce is amazing. This place is the best. Every time I'm here the food is great and the service is outstanding .

Very Good Local Italian Fare The four stars are based using Maggiano's as the basis for five stars. My son and I had early Saturday Lunch. The food was tasty, the ambience comfortable and enjoyable, the staff friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The flavor (aroma, texture, spices) of the tomato sauce is a major factor for us in the enjoyment of many Italian dishes. We made our first visit based on other reviewers reporting that the sauce was very good. Our judgement is that it is very good. Not quite as good as Maggiano's sauce, but better than many other places we've eaten. When I mentioned to the waiter that we liked the Marinara, but preferred something with more zest, he thought briefly, and then suggested that next time they could prepare Fra Diavlo, which seemed like a great option! I was pleased that: a) he gave our comment serious consideration; b) he understood what we were saying; ; c) he was knowledgeable enough to come up with a good suggestion; d) he did it all in a friendly helpful manner everything you would want in a top notch waiter. On a very cold Winter day, the restaurant temperature was very comfortable. The acoustics were good, so that our conversation was not affected by a large group Birthday party going on in a side area. The lighting was comfortably dimmed and soft Italian music was playing over the speaker system, the TVs in the adjoining bar area were tuned to Sports, with the captioning on and the sound off the kind of conditions associated with pleasant dining and good digestion. My son had spaghetti with marinara and meat ball. I had the lunch buffet which included salads, veggies, garlic toast, three soups, and six hot entree dishes (including pasta olio, appropriate for a vegetarian, also seafood Alfredo pasta, also meatball and sausage, also Italian baked chicken, also roasted vegetabes. He was happy with his choice, and on our next visit is going to order Fra diavlo. I was happy trying the dressed salad, onion soup, garlic bread, a four of the entree options all were good, a notch above many other places. We will be going back, and will recommend Louie's to others. I would gladly bring guests here.
