The food is delicious. The service is good. It's our go-to restaurant while we were staying in the area. It's also reasonably priced.

We love coming to this cute neighborhood place! When you're tired of overpriced and small-portioned Italian food, come here instead. The menu is straight up old school Italian. The staff are friendly. You'll love the red sauce they use here. Luisa was there when we came one night...what a lady and what history!

Since a friend introduced me to Luisa's restaurant, I have been coming back every week! The food is high quality, and the flavors are delicious. I love everything, but my frequently repeated dishes are the garlic bread (a must), the calzone a la fiorentina, the eggplant a la parmesana, the lasagna a la fiorentina, the tiramisu and the lemon macarpone cake accompanied by a glass of the home made lemoncello or Luisa's cabernet. Luisa, "the legend," still greets her customers on a daily basis at the young age of 95. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. This is my favorite Italian restaurant in San Francisco.
Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options, and the staff is very accommodating with special requests or modifications to the menu.

Vegetarian options: A lot of us were vegetarian and a large part of the menu was very vegetarian friendly!

The service by Sonia is champagne world class. Luisa is the incredibly gifted food guru. All of the dishes leave you wanting more. Luisa's eggplant parmigiana is out of this world. And Luisa's meatballs are worthy of an award. And, just when you think that it couldn't get any better, the tiramisu and lemon cake enjoyed with a glass of Lemon Cielo is enough to make this grown man cry! Without a doubt ... Luisa's is my #1 dining destination and I have lived here for 42 years!

I didn't try the food because the place had such an awful smell that it completely ruined my appetite.

Amazing authentic Italian with the warmth of the owner who even makes her own wine. Try Luisa’s you will not be disappointed. Recommend the Gorgonzola gnocchi!

We went to Luisa’s on a whim for my birthday. What a treat! We ordered the meatballs, gnocchi with pesto and lasagna bolognese, tiramisu, and wine. Everything was good but the gnocchi, lasagna, tiramisu, and wine were EXCELLENT. We were so pleased with our food and service. The surprise at the end was at the booth next to us, in a little chic raspberry beret, was Luisa herself! At 94 years young, she told us about her story and her love for this place. We plan on coming back soon and telling our friends. The perfect no-frills night with excellent food, service, and atmosphere.

The staff were very patient and kind! The owner was present and friendly! Food was very tasty. The garlic bread was delicious!!!
I don't understand the 5* reviews. We shared a Cesar salad and a vegetarian pizzza with zucchini. The salad looked liked it had been prepared days before and lacked parmesan. The pizza was oily, the vegetables had been obviously cooked a few days before and the dough really not nice. The only good thing about it was the friendly staff.
