Awesome place. I have had a lot of clams linguine that was flat and bland - not this one! This was lively and delicious, and they kept giving me bread to soak up the awesome leftover sauce! And I cannot say enough good things about my wonderful server, who was very friendly and kept the carbs coming (thank you!!). Great place to eat, I recommend it 100%. This is the real deal
Service was impeccable; food was even better. This place is a gem. Caesar dressing on the salad was perfect (and I’m a Caesar snob), manicotti dinner and meatballs app that was butter knife tender was a perfect combo, special today was lamb shank and was FALL OFF THE BONE delicious. Did I mention that I will never be able to eat tiramisu again because it will never live up to this place? 100% recommend.

Luisa's is exceptional on multiple fronts. It's that rare dining experience you hope to have, but so seldom get.
An old-world charm permeates its cozy atmosphere, peppered with wine bottles, autographed photos of celebrities from a bygone era of Hollywood, and swinging tunes from the 40s, 50s and 60s. (Even a little 70's!)
The food is delicious. I had the gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, and it was as creamy, decadent, and delicious as one could hope for. My brother got the halibut puttanesca (special of the day), and it was excellent, even better than my gnocchi, if that's possible. The spinach salad was refreshing and simple. This restaurant has been in business a long time, and it shows. Their presentation, taste, and content are excellent. I've had Italian as good as this maybe one other time, and it was a hell of a lot more expensive.
Bonus points to Luisa's for reasonable prices when you consider they're located in San Francisco. Most dishes will run you between 20.00-22.00, and leave you feeling pleasantly full.
The service was wonderful, attentive without being intrusive. You can dine indoors or outdoors under a covered space. The music isn't played too loudly, and you find yourself humming along to it while you enjoy your amazing food.
Can't say enough good things about this place. If you find yourself in SF craving Italian, this place should be a priority.
This is what eating out should feel like. We know the food is prepared with love. The house wine was to die for.
The bruschetta was to die for..simple nourishing yummy.
Italian food at its best
We visited for the annual Italian Heritage parade and had a table in their curbside outdoor dining area which gave us a great close up view of the parade. The lunch was delicious and the service was professional. Our waiter had a thorough knowledge of the wine list. I enjoyed the Caesar salad, meatballs, and the lasagna. We will return.
Good food makes a good restaurant, but it’s the details that separate a good restaurant from a great one. About details, Louisa’s knocks it out of the park. From the traditional Italian decorations on the walls to the spotless, clean, utensils and plates, my family and I felt the passion and care of the restaurant staff and Louisa. We arrived without a reservation, but the the waiter found us a nice table and treated us like VIPs. We asked about Louisa and he patiently told us her story. There were spacious and clean restrooms. Along with that, the food was just as good as their service. This great restaurant definitely deserves five stars.
Luisa's exceeded expectations with delicious and affordable food. While the wine selection by the glass was a bit limited, the options available were all excellent. Overall, a great dining experience.
Beef ravioli was good but I felt like I was done in 5 minutes and still hungry when finished. Hubs had the Pizza and it was tasty Small restaurant especially when seated in back corner with no room to move.
Perfectly cooked pasta dishes with decent texture from starch release and a good amount of cheese. Served in perfect temperature. Reasonably priced. In particular, carbonara is flavorful. Pollo Alfredo also rich and creamy. Pizza is good but there’s no surprise. Patio seatings are decent. They turned on the warmer. Cooking wait time is reasonable.
Such a good place for a tasty Italian dinner. The food is simply delicious and perfect portions. The meatballs are as same as they said on yelp. Very good, haha! And two pasta dishes we ordered are also very good. And the service was brilliant. The waitress was super sweet and funny. We sat at the outdoor table and they have the heater. Clean, safe and warm!
