    Luisa’s is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to. The dishes were fresh, tasty and delicious. The parma pizza, pasta carbonara with pancetta, and the beef carpaccio were my favorite dishes. Also, nobody could ever go wrong with cannolis or tiramisu cake, which were both incredible. Luisa herself was even at the restaurant monitoring everything and making sure everyone felt welcome and at home. She made the experience even more enjoyable!

    Dined here with 4 friends (2 very picky). Everyone was extremely happy and raved about the choice. We picked 3 pasta dishes and then 3 mains to share to let all of us enjoy multiple options. All were great but had our favorites: CANNELLONI & Pollo Piamontese. Would definitely recommend.

    We discovered this gem several years ago so whenever we are visiting San Francisco we dine here. The pasta dishes are always delicious. We like the cozy restaurant and service was excellent.
