The Louisa Foods Way
Started over 50 years ago, Louisa Foods is a family-owned business. Fernando Baldetti, St. Louis restaurateur produced high-quality, scratch-made ravioli and pasta for local restaurants. (In fact, even today you would be surprised how often you are eating Louisa Foods pasta!) With a strong focus on fresh ingredients, and carefully crafted by skilled artisans, Baldetti's belief that "freshness matters" is still at the heart of Louisa Foods today.
Our Scratch Kitchen Methods
Prepared in-house daily, Louisa pastas, appetizers and sauces are carefully crafted to maintain the delicate balance of flavor and texture that makes each recipe its best.
- Use only USDA-graded meats, seafood, produce and herbs in our recipes
- Grind and dice meats ourselves
- Hand chop the vegetables and zest the lemons
- Braise and roast meats and vegetables, and reduce stocks in-house daily
- Grate and shred a variety of domestic and imported cheeses
- Make pasta fresh with semolina flour and eggs
