Luisa's Italian Restaurant, San Francisco

Luisa's Pizza and Pasta blends a casual and elegant ambiance with Italian dishes made from scratch. Chefs shape homemade dough into pappardelle and fettuccine noodles, and flavor grilled steaks with mushrooms cooked in brandy and champagne. The eatery’s selection of regional Italian wines was chosen to enhance the flavors of each dish, and servers will happily help guests find the perfect wine pairing. Beyond the dining room, a relaxed lounge area offers sports viewing on myriad flat screen TVs and a juke box that plays music on command. DJs and live musical acts entertain guests on weekends, and chefs whip up pizzas until 2 a.m.
