Has anyone had a good meal at Louise's, the new Italian place in G'town? I went there over the weekend and was sorely disappointed. Assuming it's the same restaurant as the ones in L.A., I ordered pizza which was great when I had it in L.A. Not so here. The crust was extremely thin and tasteless, and the sauce was pretty bland. I had a bite of my friend's ravioli and it tasted undercooked, as well as not being very hot (although the plate was EXTREMELY hot). Other people at my table ordered pasta dishes and the pastas looked gluey and hard. THe focaccio bread made from their pizza crust was really greasy and pretty tasteless too, not too mention kind of undercooked. The service was terrible and the place wasn't even full. HOWEVER, the staff is very friendly and they fill the wine glasses to the rim! I'd like to know if anyone has anything good to say about it, so it will give me an excuse to try it again. RJC
