Our Story

A Heritage Home, A Family Kitchen

Casa Luisa is named after Maria Luisa, mother of Chef Jen Gerodias, who built this vintage-style home in 2018 as a gathering place for family and friends. The two-storey structure is composed of reclaimed wood, with furniture, light fixtures, and tableware inherited through generations.

What started as a happy accident -- turning leftover French onion soup into an empanada filling -- became a beloved destination where every dish carries the warmth of home and the precision of French culinary training.
