"If you want a truly authentic experience, head to Mama Louisa’s Italian Restaurant, a place so classically Italian, you’ll almost feel you’re there. The menu is a feast of old favorites, including a home-baked lasagna so soft and yielding, it’s like a great big hug in a bowl. Pasta is made from scratch on the premises before each service, while the sandwiches are a thing of beauty – try the ‘Italian Stuffer’ (Italian sausage, house-made meatball, melted cheese, house sauce in a hoagie roll) to end the question of whether you’re eyes are bigger than your belly once and for all."
