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

== History ==
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 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]].<ref>"[[Much Apu About Nothing]]"</ref>

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.<ref>"[[Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?]]"</ref>

[[Fat Tony]] had Luigi on his list of people he should not shoot.<ref>"[['Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky]]"</ref>

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.<ref>"[[The Last of the Red Hat Mamas]]"</ref>

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]].<ref>"[[Angry Dad: The Movie]]"</ref>

== Trivia ==
*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.
*The prototype figure of Luigi from the [[World of Springfield]] toyline had a gray mustache.

== Behind the Laughter ==
Luigi 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.
