About

Luisa came from Pompeii, outside Naples, and cooked the food she grew up on. More than sixty years later, the pasta, the gnocchi, and the slow-simmered sauce are still made by hand, from her recipes. Today the next generation runs the business, while Luisa still works the room. An old-school North Beach table — warm, a little loud, unmistakably hers. — the Luisa's family
