Our first visit and no regrets. Waiter was attentive and friendly. Bread has to be fresh out the oven, so good. Ceasar salad tasted like the dressing was fresh made. Loved the chicken marsala, such a rich flavor. She had the spaghetti with meatballs and the red sauce was thick and a nice amount of garlic. Looking forward to our next visit.

Luigi's is one of our favorite restaurants in the area! The food is always delicious, and the service is attentive and friendly. We have been going for years and always feel like family when we are there. My son's favorite is the Alfredo Gnocchi and mine is the Tortellini Piemontese. The Pasta Fagioli soup is so delicious and comforting and feels like a warm hug! lol. The portions are big, and the prices are good for the quality of food that you get.

Miguel the manager always remembers us. The food is impeccable. We have tried a variety of dishes; never disappointed. Atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. Service is always subtle and efficient. Great red and white wine list to pair with your meal choice. The music is exactly what you want too. And finally there is "Godfather" poster on the back wall UPDATE Our friends wanted a great place to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary; best time you could ask for. Miguel and his staff pulled out all the stops to create a 100% personalized evening and meal. UPDATE 08/29/2024 Miguel, the manager prepared the Banana Foster for us tonight; I added the video.

Out trying new places in the neighborhood and this is a MUST for Italian food! The place is very clean and well kept, the people were very friendly, waitress was super attentive, and everyone had smiles the whole time. Our food came out hot and fresh with sooooo much flavor! We will be back to try more from the menu! Today I got the Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, my son got the Kid's Spaghetti with Meatball, and my mom got the Classic Lasagna. All of it was very delicious and the portions were pretty big! Highly recommend and my mom wanted to add that it would be a great place for a date!

1st time at this place. Everything was perfect. Nice servers and clean tables with white table clothes and red cloth napkins. The homemade bread with olive oil dip was oh so good. And, all of our dishes were absolutely delicious!!! My family had the fettuccini alfredo, cheese steak sandwiches, and Greek salad with chicken. We wished we lived closer, because we’d be here every week. And, the prices were reasonable. Highly recommend.

Came her for Valentines dinner with my husband. 1st time trying the place and upon walking in we could tell it was a family owned restaurant with a cute old school Italian vibe. Lots of families were eating so it's a good place for groups and small kids. The service wasn't the best but they were swamped and it was mostly kids working. It took about 10 to 15 minutes after we were seated for a server to come to the table but she did apologize and tried her best to give great service even though the servers and the kitchen were swamped. All the food was super fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the calamari in the spicy marinara and the chicken parmesan. And even though we didn't order it the pizza looked really good. Overall good experience and we look forward to going back.
