Louise's Trattoria in Southern California

Yes, it's another Italian-American chain restaurant. It wasn't our originally intended destination, but it was one of the few places nearby that could take a walk-in on a Friday night (and at least it was local to Southern California).

I figured that since we were eating Italian-American food, then I might as well get spaghetti with meatballs, the latter of which turned out to be much better in taste and texture that I thought it would be. My expectations going in were pretty low though.
