Although Louis (actually named Luigi after his grandfather) was born in Brooklyn, New York, he spent his first 4 years in Sicily, Italy. With both his parents being from Italian descent, and growing up in a predominately Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, Louis has been surrounded by the Italian culture, food and way of life all of his life. His first career out of college was on Wall Street, but he quickly lost interest in a 9 to 5 desk job. He began spending some time at his uncle’s Italian restaurant in New Jersey and discovered that he had a flair for cooking! He not only discovered that he cooked well, he really enjoyed it…..and that was the end of his career on Wall Street.

Louis opened his first restaurant in Brooklyn, New York called Luigi’s. The restaurant was a great little neighborhood pizzeria that kids enjoyed hanging out at and business was good. A few years down the road an opportunity presented itself to Louis in Houston, Tx. Louis and his wife of 45 years, Josephine, made the move to Houston along with their 3 daughters, Daniella, Lisa and Tina. Louis and Josephine reside in Friendswood, Tx . The oldest daughter Daniella, her husband Chris and their sons, Dominic and Dillon, reside nearby in League City, Tx. Lisa and granddaughter Juliana and Tina also live nearby.

We are PROUD to be a family owned and operated local business. You will see several Floridia family members at both locations and at off-site caterings around town! Make sure to say "CIAO" when you see them!

MANGIA!,
