The SoFla Sage: Italian Food Takeover Part 3: Enjoy Hand Crafted Italian at Louie Bossi’s Ristorante in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Louie Bossi’s is a high-energy Italian eatery located on the famed Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale where everything is made from scratch using only the freshest ingredients. Executive Chef Louie Bossi serves delicious house made pastas, wood burning Neapolitan pizzas, home cooked Sicilian comfort food and, of course, Chef Louie’s famous house cured salumi. From the hearth baked bread and artisan jams to handmade pastas and pizza dough, gelato and crema di limoncello, everything is house made using the time honored methods of Italian craftsmen. The beverage menu showcases an impressive wine list with a heavy focus on Italian vintages including 50+ wines by the glass as well as handcrafted cocktails, craft beers and locally sourced coffees.
The brand new 10,000-square-foot restaurant offers distinct indoor and outdoor dining experiences including a stunning 2,000-square-foot piazza with a fire pit and bocce ball court.
Salumi + Formaggio with olives, marcona almonds, truffle honey and dried fruit
The house cured salumi is a must during your visit to Louie Bossi’s! With delectable accompaniments such as truffle honey, you may find yourself paying a visit just for this appetizer.
Brooklyn Caesar – pancetta, poached egg, tuscan kale
Caesar is one of my all time favorite salads. I enjoyed the use of tuscan kale in this version which was amplified by all the goodies on top, so good!
Risotto Al Futti Di Mare – shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari
If you’re in the mood for risotto – this dish is for you, very flavorful with plenty of fresh seafood.
Mafaldine – ragu of pork with ricotta, n’duja
WOW – no wonder this is one of the signature dishes at Louie’s. The ribbon shaped pasta with wavy edges on each side, known as mafaldine, is made in house and accompanied by perfectly cooked ragu of pork. This dish is a winner!
Tiramisu – marscarpone cream, espresso, savoiardi biscuits
This was my first visit to Louie Bossi’s and I can absolutely see myself going back. I sat inside and enjoyed the ambiance and energy. I would like to visit for brunch and dine outside in the bright and unique space. Speaking of the outdoor dining area, be sure to bring your competitive side for a game of bocce ball, or should I say, Bossi Ball!
