We spent our 4th anniversary with Ed and his staff as part of our annual tradition of reliving our special day in a new city with a local restaurant. The food was exceptional, the staff were amazing, especially our waitress Beth and the experience was one of our best yet! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!!
We recently held a group function at Luisa Risto for 20 people, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The owner went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options that everyone enjoyed. The entire event was a success, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have them host for us again. Highly recommended for any gathering—thank you Ed and staff, for making our event memorable!
