Eaten here several times. The mussels with honey/gorgonzola cream as a starter are enough to get me to come back.
Servers are always friendly, but the place can get quite busy.
Probably best to make a reservation if you’re planning to go there in the evening. Not a very large place.

This was our first time here, after reading wonderful reviews. Luisa doesn't disappoint. The food was bursting with flavor and we had the warm chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Heavenly!!! It was our anniversary, and the owner not only gave us excellent service, a lovely card, but also his terrific sense of humor. The prices are excellent along with every bite of food. This will be a regular place for us from now on :)

My husband and I recently dined at this restaurant. When we first walked in, we didnt have a reservation but the hostess, Jewel, was lovely and able to accommodate us around reservations. Our server was a young lady (we don't recall her name) who was also very personable and offered continuous, great service throughout our meal. The food was a 10 out of 10 and we will happily return. However, though the restaurant was filled we felt the owner went out of his way to avoid us. We watched him interact with every other table and guest during our dining experience, and though he walked by our table numerous times making eye contact, he never said a word. We left feeling happy overall with both the service and food however couldn't help but feel unwelcomed by the owner. Hoping to feel treated like the rest of the guests during our next visit.

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!!

Visiting family over the weekend and my sister and brother in law suggested going to Luisa's for dinner. Fantastic food! Daughter had pizza, I had the Giorgio (as did the BIL) and sister had the carbonera. Olives and bruschetta for starters. Loved it all. Highly recommend you go!

Just had a wonderful dinner with a dear friend who turned 82 today. I cannot speak highly enough about the fuss the staff made of him and made it a truly memorable evening for him. Thank you

A small Italian family owned restaurant in the heart of downtown St. Albert. The owner met us at the door, showing us to our table. The service and food were outstanding, giving us the total experience of excellent. He made sure our evening was one to remember. We would highly recommend Luisa Risto. A side note . We have also ordered take out and it is always top notch. Very good value for your money.

I had an amazing meal at Luisa Risto today. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were prompt, extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the food was incredible. The best Italian food I have ever had. I highly recommend checking out this little gem!
The owner is super engaging he ran across to find us at the Arden theatre - to bring my glasses I had left behind in the table. Wow! On top of that...the food was so delicious. This place is a little gem. We'll definitely be back.

Great service, arrancini was amazing. Great vibe. Perfectly timed service by Beth. Welcoming, warm, Canadian! No American wine, so that's good. 🤓
