About

Italian RestaurantBar
Louie Bossi is not your typical chef. Growing up in an Italian household in New York he remembers the aromas of roasted garlic and fresh meatballs sizzling from his family’s kitchen. Raised by a single mother juggling three jobs, Bossi taught himself to cook at the age of eight. Working his way from dishwasher to cook at the local pizzeria Bossi developed a love for the art of pizza making. Relocating to Florida in 2000, Bossi landed his first job with Big Time Restaurant Group as grill cook. Exploring different positions within their popular portfolio of restaurants Chef Bossi proved to be one of the hardest working and most inspired chefs in the company, which earned him the coveted Executive Chef position at Big City Tavern. Bossi's D.I.Y. approach has led him to obtain a certification from Chef Brian Polcyn in the ancient art and technique of charcuterie, as well as becoming a Master Pizza Maker from The Scuola Italiana Pizzaoili in San Francisco.

    **Unpopular opinion… or maybe I just ordered the wrong thing?** Louie Bossi's had a cool, laid-back vibe, and our waitress was friendly, although the service was definitely on the slower side. The extensive wine list was a nice touch and gave us plenty of options. Now, let's talk about the pizza. I ordered the Margherita, which, per the menu is supposed to feature cheese and basil. My entire pizza was graced with exactly TWO leaves. The cheese? It slid right off the moment I picked up a slice, leaving behind a sad, floppy crust. Not exactly the pizza experience I was hoping for. Here's where my review gets complicated: everyone else in our group ordered pasta, and they absolutely raved about their meals. So perhaps the lesson here is to stick with the pasta? Overall, great atmosphere, friendly staff, impressive wine selection, but my pizza was a solid **meh**. I wouldn't rule out giving Louie Bossi's another shot, but next time I'm taking a cue from the rest of the table and ordering pasta!

    We were planning to have dinner with our family and arrived at the restaurant before the rest of our party. The host seated us at the bar while we waited, so we decided to have a couple of quick bites and drinks before moving to our table. Unfortunately, our experience at the bar was disappointing. When my wife asked about happy hour, the bartender responded in a sarcastic and disrespectful manner, which made us feel uncomfortable. He was keep talking sarcastically. She later ordered a glass of wine, and surprisingly, he didn’t even ask to see her ID, despite her being only 25 years old. That being said, the restaurant itself has a great atmosphere 10/10 and the food tasted amazing. We really enjoyed that part of our experience. However, I would strongly recommend providing better customer service training for the bartenders. A restaurant with such great food and atmosphere deserves service that matches.

    Today, October 5, I arrived shortly before closing, yet I was warmly welcomed, seated, and given wonderful service. I work in the restaurant industry myself, so I understand and appreciate both sides of the experience—the dining room and the kitchen. Tonight, I was truly impressed by both the food and your team’s hospitality. I always say: don’t forget the people in the kitchen. The kitchen is a world of its own, where delicious magic happens. Behind every dish are skill, teamwork, and so much hard work. A huge thank-you to the kitchen crew and the front-of-house team! It was such a pleasure to visit again. Until next time—as always, you were outstanding!

    I went to Louie Bossi for lunch yesterday with a friend, and apparently we accidentally booked a table at a nightclub, construction site, and cafeteria all at the same time. I arrived a little early and ordered an Aperol Spritz while waiting for my guest. That was $15, plus tax and a $2 tip, for a wonderful little pre-lunch total of $18.05. Then the actual lunch began. We were seated in a booth with the kitchen on one side and a table of roughly 8–10 people on the other. From the kitchen came a nonstop soundtrack of metal banging on metal, plates crashing, espresso preparation that sounded like someone repairing an engine, and the general chaos of a kitchen running at full throttle. Then there was the table next to us. The women were yelling, shrieking, laughing, and hollering so loudly that at certain points it sounded like a pack of howling cats had discovered bottomless mimosas. The men contributed by repeatedly pounding their fists on the table every time someone told a joke. Apparently laughter alone wasn’t sufficient. The furniture also needed to participate. And standing nearby was a manager, seemingly experiencing the same auditory assault as the rest of us, yet doing absolutely nothing about it. No polite request to lower the volume. No reminder that this was a restaurant and not a private fraternity reunion. Just quiet acceptance while everyone else tried to communicate through lip reading. Then came the food. I ordered a hamburger. Nothing complicated. No soufflé. No tableside flambé. A hamburger. It arrived without the lettuce, tomato, onion, and other extras I had ordered. After about five minutes of trying to get someone’s attention, those finally appeared. Then I realized there was no ketchup, salt, or pepper on the table, so round two of “Excuse me… excuse me… hello?” began. By the time the burger was properly assembled, I felt like I had participated in its preparation. And then there are the prices. Calamari: $17 Coke: $5.95 Eggs Benedict: $18.50 Hamburger: $20 Our lunch check came to $77.76 including tax and tip. Add the $18.05 Aperol Spritz I had before my guest arrived, and the grand total for this charming afternoon of noise, missing condiments, and management indifference was **$95.81**. Nearly $100 for lunch for two. I’m perfectly happy to pay premium prices when the food, atmosphere, and service justify them. But charging upscale prices while delivering the ambiance of a crowded airport terminal during a flight cancellation is a tough sell. The food itself wasn’t terrible. The overall dining experience absolutely was. If your idea of a relaxing lunch includes shouting over strangers, dodging flying decibels, and hunting down condiments like a scavenger hunt, Louie Bossi may be exactly what you’re looking for. Otherwise, bring earplugs. And apparently, bring $100.

    Popped in for an afternoon snack and drink while walking by. Waited 15 minutes seated at the bar and not a single person acknowledged us. Saw the bartender making an interesting drink that I went and asked about and then was yelled at by a bus person AND a manager for being in their way. It was very loud and I couldn’t hear. Rather than yell at me, maybe tap me on the shoulder? Or clear the area in advance before a bus person comes out with 4 racks of glasses.!? Used to be much better, now just a noisy cattle call with awful service and average food. Won’t ever go back to a place to be yelled at. So many better Las Olas options than this circus. Went to Ann’s instead. Relaxed atmosphere, great food and drink, and courteous service. Earl’s is great too!
