About Lisa
Lisa Ramelow recently finished a successful 27-year run in the restaurant business. She served up Italian food, and always joked that she was “cheating” because she is not Italian and she cannot cook.
She never thought of her job as serving food; instead she considered it to be “mentoring young people” (her beloved employees).
For 10 years she has also been writing real-life stories about everything from her business, to community activism, to stories about her beautiful shoe collection. Her stories are well-followed, are written in an unpretentious style, and are told with love and humor.
Now that she has finished her restaurant career, she is busy putting her unique stories into book form. She resides in sunny southern California, and is always looking for joy and unique experiences to write about.
Q&A with Lisa
-
I love telling the stories of the people and situations in my life.
-
Living through the loss of my husband as a mother with 2 small children, made me realize that I could survive other situations. My audience is struggling through life as well, and it is my hope that my stories will resonate in some way, and will make them feel less alone.

Family, love, kindness

I walk 1-2 hours a day, and have a sweet dog named Gracie. I’m an introvert who has learned how to be an extrovert (at times)! I feel lucky to live in the Belmont Shore area of Long Beach, CA.
