    My daughter was in town for the Holiday and we were looking for a new place nearby. LouLou didn’t disappoint! We started with the garlic cheese bread. It was so good and the homemade marinara made the dish next level. Everyone enjoyed their entrees . I ordered the linguine with meatballs. The meatballs were delicious , along with the nicely cooked pasta and sauce it was a generous portion . We will definitely return

    Although the food and service was amazing, one of guests in my party got a sliver of glass in his finger from the seat. It seemed small at first however after we left there was still glass deep in his finger that needed to be dug out. While I understand things happen and the staff made sure he was ok, all we received was a free desert for it.
