Luigi Risotto, voiced by Hank Azaria, is the proprietor of the local Italian restaurant, which is closed on Mondays. He is a parody of the "Italian pasta/pizza chef" stereotype, but seems to be aware of his status as a stock character. He often treats his customers rudely, insulting and belittling them; at times under his breath, at other times in a conversational tone, and sometimes shouting the slurs to the (unseen) chef Salvatore.

Befitting to a consciously stereotypical Italian character, Luigi seems to have some connections to the mafia. Local gangster Fat Tony is a frequent customer at his restaurant. When Homer was a food critic, he gave Luigi's eatery a poor review; in retaliation, Luigi hired a friend to place a horse's head in Homer's bed, a reference to The Godfather. Homer subsequently ate the head and gave it a bad review.

'''Luigi Risotto''' is the proprietor of [[Luigi's]].

His surname is a reference to the Italian food risotto. He does not actually speak Italian, only "fractured English", as did his parents. Luigi may be an illegal immigrant because he disappeared during an immigration officer's introduction at Luigi's restaurant and took the citizenship exam with Apu.

 +
Luigi often treats his customers rudely, insulting and belittling them; at times under his breath, at other times in a conversational tone, and sometimes shouting the slurs to the (unseen) chef Salvatore. Luigi seems to have some connections to the [[Springfield Mafia|mafia]]. Local gangster [[Fat Tony]] is a frequent customer at his restaurant, despite the fact that he was one of the targets of Fat Tony's plan to get rid of all other food retailers except Marge's.<ref>"[[The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]"</ref> He says the phrase, "I guarantee" a lot.

Luigi was pleased when, in a "gutless act of political correctness," Principal Skinner ordered the school cafeteria staff to refer to pizza as "Italian American sauce".

*In ''[[The Simpsons: Tapped Out]]'', it is implied that Luigi isn't actually Italian. Homer overhears him speaking in a British accent, implying he is actually from [[England]]. Also, one of his jobs is to practice his Italian accent. The canonicity of ''Tapped Out'' is unsure though.

Luigi Risotto is the proprietor of Luigi's.

History[edit]

Luigi often treats his customers rudely, insulting and belittling them; at times under his breath, at other times in a conversational tone, and sometimes shouting the slurs to the (unseen) chef Salvatore. Luigi seems to have some connections to the mafia. Local gangster Fat Tony is a frequent customer at his restaurant, despite the fact that he was one of the targets of Fat Tony's plan to get rid of all other food retailers except Marge's.[2] He says the phrase, "I guarantee" a lot.

Luigi may have been an illegal immigrant because he disappeared during an immigration officer's introduction at Luigi's restaurant and took the citizenship exam with Apu.[3]

When Homer was a food critic, he gave Luigi's eatery a poor review; in retaliation, Luigi hired a friend to place a horse's head in Homer's bed (a reference to The Godfather). Homer subsequently ate the head and gave it a bad review.[4]

Fat Tony had Luigi on his list of people he should not shoot.[5]

Luigi can't speak Italian but fractured English as it's what his parents spoke at home. When he ordered cheese for his lasagna he took help from Milhouse with the translation.[6]

Because he is a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press he was selected to tell Bart that Angry Dad was nominated to a Golden Globe.[7]
