Chef Louie Bossi is the man behind his namesake popular restaurant off Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. It is part old world Italian, part hip modern eatery. The 10-thousand square foot restaurant with seating inside and out has become a neighborhood hotspot.

In the piazza, dining al fresco, CBS4’s Lisa Petrillo spoke to Chef Louie. “My goal was to open a restaurant that was a foodie restaurant, where chefs can go on their days off, having people from Miami come up, so it feels like a real Chicago and NY restaurant where people are eating and having fun,” explained Chef Louie.
