Luigi Risotto
| ||||||||||||||||
Character Information
|
Luigi Risotto, voiced by Hank Azaria, is the proprietor of the local Italian restaurant, which is closed on Mondays.
Contents
Creation
He is a parody of the "Italian pasta/pizza chef" stereotype, but seems to be aware of his status as a stock character. His surname is a reference to the Italian food risotto.
Character Traits
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, despite that in the episode The Twisted World of Marge Simpson he was one of the targets of Fat Tony's plan to get rid of all other food resteaunts except Marges. He does not actually speak Italian, only "fractured English", as did his parents. He says the phrase, "I guarantee." a lot.

Supporting Appearances
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.
Immigrant Status
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.
