Unfortunately we devoured everything so quickly, I only realized after that I never took any pictures, which I usually post with my reviews.

We ordered the mozzarella sticks, arancini, and I had the beef ragu, all of which were delicious. The authentic tiramisu was the cherry on top of an incredible meal.

The quality, portions, and service are really impeccable, especially considering the price point. I don’t recall the last time I dined out and was able to enjoy a large plate of amazing pasta for only $20. I literally mentioned about 15 times to my husband how blown away I was by the 6 arancini balls you get for only $13.

I highly recommend supporting this local family owned business, who clearly take a lot of pride in what they do.

Dined here for the first time last night, everything was great. Busy with a show at the Arden but food arrived quickly, service was excellent. Lasagna was outstanding. Specials were likewise.
Will be back.

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!

Very busy place due to limited space. Best to make a reservation. We had a table outside, it was perfect. Good weather. The food was delicious. However, the Margherita pizza wasn't as flavorful as the pasta's. Good service and friendly staffs.

What an absolute delight. If you haven’t been. Go. Delicious authentic Italian food with an impressive wine list. Our server, Ed is a master of his craft. What a privilege it was to experience this place! Free parking in the back- family feel, you are encouraged to walk in the back door. Try the affogato for dessert. 10/10 would recommend.

I booked for 13 of us to come for dinner before a show at the Plaza Series. I had left a phone message and Ed called me back to confirm even though they were closed for a couple of days for a family gathering. He also called two days prior to the booking to see if the numbers had changed. When we arrived sporadically between 5-5:30pm they were ready for us. Sue gave us excellent table service with food, drinks and starters and handed out the bills afterwards with no issues. All 13 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, with not one complaint. I would highly recommend this restaurant, Ed and Sue and all the staff! Thank you for a great experience!

Luisa was SOOO yummy! First of all, the staff are so kind, caring and engaging!! But the highlight, was the food! The carbonara was excellent! I had some calamari to compliment in the dish! Delicious! But the best thing… The tiramisu! Its the BEST tiramisu I have ever had!! Gotta come here, just for the dessert alone. It was creamy, light, sweet! I fell in love!

Came here for brothers graduation last night, was our first time trying it and wow, the food was AMAZING! As well as the service was incredible, Ed was our server and he was so nice and gave us lots of recommendations and made our night lots of fun, only downside is the place is quite small so it gets loud quick but other than that i will be returning!

Fantastic spot with great food and excellent service, wait staff is very attentive, and really elevate the experience. My only suggestion would be having more non alcoholic drinks options like mocktails, but that's hardly a sticking point.

I don’t eat Italian food often but this was hands down the best restaurant I have eaten at in a very long time. The owner and server that we had gave the best service and I highly recommend this place. Will for sure be coming back soon and you should too!
