Our all time favorite! We hear the steaks are awesome! But we ❤️ the combination platter! Spaghetti to die for! The Ravioli is mama Mia! And that meatball, yo! Gotta ask for it baked! The garlic bread is so soft and crispy edges at the same time. So delicious and the service is first class, great personality! We try to come from Maryville about once a month!

A Fountain City staple. You cannot beat their baked spaghetti. I also love their pizza (love to orange a pizza with feta, sausage, and peperoncino) and had a great steak their as well. Honestly, you can’t go wrong on the menu! Their staff has always been so friendly too – even when absolutely slammed.

Average food. The homemade salad dressing was good. The chicken Parmesan was above average but lasagna was ehh. Our server was sweet but reeked of cigarette smoke. The corn and beans tasted directly out of can. We will not return.

We think Louis is one of the best values for lunch or dinner. Their house salad is excellent and their home made dressings round them out nicely. It’s hard not to try the delicious onion rings for an appetizer. We have eaten most of the items on the menu over the years and they have been very good.

We had a party of 30 in the private room, with only one waitress and she was absolutely phenomenal. Not a single person had to wait on anything. She kept everyone’s drinks filled no mix up in food and faster service then most place with a single family eating. Hands down one of the best services I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Not to mention the food was amazing, I give a firm 5 stars

I grew up eating Louis as a child. I absolutely loved it. I’d get spaghetti every time. I moved away and had the first chance to eat here again in over 10 years. I looked at the reviews and noticed there were some negative ones so I was hopeful that it was like I remembered it. I brought my wife and kids for my wife’s birthday and we were both blown away. I’ve had many spaghetti dishes since I’ve had Louis and nothing compares. We had the spaghetti and ribeye, and my kid ate all the cheese sticks and loved her spaghetti and marinara. Also, the parking lot and restaurant were slammed full. It was a great experience and this place is a gem! Still awesome after all these years!

Decent food. I really liked the homemade Italian dressing. It was very good. The ravioli is good. The salad was alright. But I wish they would use Romain lettuce instead of iceberg. Our server was very good. Overall a good dining experience.

Louis is the best for Italian food. It’s my favorite. I’ve never had a bad meal here, and I’ve been coming for years. I love the salads and dressings too. Server’s have always been attentive and friendly. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
