My family and I were exhausted, after visiting one of those huge shopping complexes and not finding any food that we wanted, when we drove past the Louise's Trattoria on Melrose. What caught my wife's eye were the stunning umbrellas showcased on the patio. We found parking just a few blocks away and walked to the restaurant. We were pleasantly greeted and waited on to my family's pleasure (which is sometimes difficult with 2 kids under age 5). The wait staff was courteous and delivered our food on time, and it was the perfect meal after a hectic morning. The atmosphere was calming and the meal left us completely satisfied, and didn't cost too much.
