Mama Louisa's Italian Restaurant

Mangia! Mangia! Yeah, Mama Louisa's has generally great food, a family-style atmosphere and good prices. But it's also worth noting that Mama Louisa's is currently celebrating its golden anniversary--yes, after 50 years, Mama Louisa's is still going strong. For lunch, they've got an all-you-can-eat salad and a cooked-to-order pasta bar (oh, and did we mention that they make a lot of their pasta on site?). The highlight, though, is their meatballs. Deliciously spiced, large and good with or without sauce, the meatballs are to die for.
