What: Cafeteria-style
Italian restaurant
Where: At the corner of Fifth and Canal, near the
lagoon
Price Range: $
Louie’s is a remarkably
successful recreation of the ambiance of New York’s Little
Italy section — tiled floors, marble-topped tables, and cafe
chairs. The only hint you’re at Universal Studios is the cafeteria style serving area and the odd ceiling with its jagged edges and movie lights that remind you that the restaurant can do double duty as a film set.
The fare is standard Italian and just the basics. Pizza slices are in the $4 range or $16 to $18 for whole pies. Entrees include spaghetti and meatballs and fettuccine alfredo (about $7). Caesar salad is $6, or $8 with chicken, and a bowl of minestrone is $3. There is imported Italian beer ($5) as well as Bud, Bud Lite, and wine. In one corner of the restaurant, there is a Starbucks counter selling coffee, cappuccino, and pastries.
The quality is above average, as well, making Louie’s my favorite USF cafeteria. Louie’s is quite large and makes a good place to duck in out of the sun or rain for a rest.
