Come upstairs and enter Louie's world. Enjoy his magnificent fresh seafood, savor his delicious pasta creations or devour one of his trademark individual pizzas. Marvel in the atmosphere of his seafood shack, inspired by his World War II years in the South Pacific. Relive the glory of his fabulous life, in which he has attempted and almost succeeded at practically everything. Learn why he never won an Academy Award, and why he never quite became a champion.
