DANG good sandwiches but comes with a high price. Ordered the horseradish roast beef sandwich and it is out of this world tasty. The horseradish is perfectly subtle and the full sub is more than enough for one person. Ordered a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, and while the meatballs are out of this world both on the plate and in the sandwich (I’ve ordered the sandwich previously), the spaghetti noodles are not house made, which begs the question why is the price so high? The chocolate cannoli with pistachio is the best cannoli I’ve ever had in my life. Do not sleep on it.

This place is so cute. It was a little overpriced for a sandwich. But it was definitely amazing and I would come back. The staff was so friendly they had answered all of our questions and gave us options. My friend ordered the pasta and said it was amazing.

Came in for the first time the other day after hearing a lot about Lou’s for two years or so. A bit intimidated with all of the menu options and it being my first time, so I got an Italian beef (half) with giardiniera and it was pretty good! Decent portion given that it was a half sandwich. Duke’s “Chopped Cheese” nearby is the same size for a few dollars more and considered full size. Okay prices, everything appears to be given proper attention so it’s not expected to be cheap cheap. Really looking forward to getting some cannoli and some pasta to see the other side of their prepared cuisine, grabbing some deli items from their case, etc. Definitely will be back again to find out what I love.

This place is awesome for Italian food in the area. They have a few tables indoors and a few tables outdoors. I got half of the Italian beef and thought it was tastey but a bit overpriced for half of a sandwich and no side. The peppers had a bit of a kick which is great. I would come back and try some other things.

It was a happy accident finding this place, and It was like walking into a New York deli. Such a fantastic surprise. The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch and the portions and prices were great. 100% would recommend and will definitely be back. There are so many things I gotta try, specially the espresso brulee.
