The Louisa Way
Louisa is a family-owned business started more than 55 years ago by Fernando Baldetti, a St. Louis restaurateur with a desire to produce high-quality scratch-made ravioli for local restaurants. Focused on fresh ingredients crafted by skilled artisans, his belief that Freshness Matters is still at the heart of Louisa 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
