Gordon Ramsay's reopening seriously boosted this restaurant's food! The pizza was perfectly cooked, the ravioli was extraordinary, the price was affordable, I can't seem to find anything wrong. Truly magnificent. Definitely will come back. Recommended for Italian food lovers!
Seating is uncomfortably tight. I ate alone and it was by-cheek, by-jowl. I remember Luigi 2 locations ago. The food was fabulous. The creamy Italian salad dressing. Fresh baked bread. Cartons of production cream in the kitchen for killer sauces. I visited after 10 years. The kids have grown. The food is now lousy. Pizza burned. Oily salad dressing from Costco. No bread. Such a disappointment. You can’t shrink yourself to greatness.
First heard of this restaurant through Kitchen Nightmares so I decided to check it out since it isn’t too far from me. Overall the food was pretty good. Small little restaurant but the staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Would definitely come again.
There are FIVE pizzerias closer to my home than Luigi's.I pass them all by and drive the extra distance to go here.Why?Because they have the best pizza, just like back home in NJ/NY.My fav is sausage, pepperoni, onions and REAL Buffalo mozzarella.Great pies, great service by genuinely good people.I HIGHLY recommend them.
Didn't eat anything before coming here for dinner. Wife wanted to try this place. The owner of this location used to have a place in Anaheim (was on Hell's Kitchen). Don't know. Didn't care. I was hungry.Ordered: Fried Calamari (Full), Luigi's Special Pizza (Large), Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce, Fettuccine Alfredo, Italian Sausage with Pasta , and 1 Diet Coke with 4 Waters. Waiter gave us free garlic breads.I really can not give this place 5 Stars. Why?Dine-In area was small...5 tables inside 2 tables outside. Past Saturday 5/21...only 1 waiter was working. It was good to see that it was busy (always supporting small businesses).Tastes: Remember...I have not eaten anything all day. So, anything I ate that night...tasted very good.I did not like my Italian Sausage with Pasta and Bell Peppers. Sauce was good.Garlic Breads were good. After eating some, I didn't get that heavy feeling; not like eating breads at Cheese Cake Factory.My oldest son liked his Fettuccine Alfredo. He even ate Fried Calamari. He said Onion Rings were good with Lemon. LOL!!!!My second son liked his Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce.My wife loved her pizza. After eating 1 slice, she wanted to take rest home. More people were coming in...and she didn't feel safe about people talking and walking back and forth near our 5 month old son. Plus, our daughter was acting up.Dessert: They ran out of cannolis. Not their fault.I would literally have to give this place another try, when I am not starving. I will be back.
I tried this Italian restaurant during my vacation and I enjoyed this moment with my entourage. The dishes we tasted were very good and generous, as the Italians know how to do. The passion is felt at the first fork. The staff were attentive to our satisfaction. The prices may be considered a bit high for some, but I think you sometimes have to know how to pay a little more to have fresh and good quality products. Thank you to the owners and employees for this good time spent with you. Good continuation to you all.
This is probably a well kept secret Italian restaurant that people local to the place don’t want you to know about. Because it’s really really good.Nestled in a strip mall next to a grocery store and some other dining establishments you wouldn’t know about it unless you googled or Yelp it. We were over at Brea Mall and the kids wanted Italian food for late lunch/early dinner. So off goes my wife to search for Italian restaurants in the area.We pulled up walked in and it’s pretty no nonsense. There’s about 6 or so tables inside and a few outside, looked at the menu and it wasn’t crazy loaded with dishes which for some can be a problem deciding what to order.Here’s what we ordered 2 adults 3 kids:Kid1: Margherita pizza (small about 4 slices)Kid 2: Italian subKid3: linguini with clams in a red sauceWife: cheese ravioliMe: Italian spicy meat pizza (medium)After we ordered we were given complimentary cheese garlic bread. Amazing, we destroyed it quicklyShortly after, came our order. Portions were generous but not overly abundant as we stuffed ourselves with the garlic bread it was perfect.Wife’s ravioli sauce was spectacular, rich hearty and herbaceous. My wife normally never finishes her entree and usually takes home the rest to eat later, nope not today she cleaned it.Son’s linguini and clams was equally rich and thick full of little clams and you can see chunks of garlic. He powered that down and normally would eat anyone’s food if they couldn’t finish it, not this time he was stuffed. For a 16 yo to say that you know the portions were just good right for that growing boy.Daughter 1 equally finished her pizza and daughter 2 couldn’t finish her sun because of the garlic bread she chowed down prior.My pizza was great as well loaded with slices of Italian sausages and the crust was thin crust (the way I like it). I managed to eat all but two slices which I’m looking forward to eating later.All in all great dining experience and loved the fact that it was a casual sit down restaurant with no frills just good quality Italian food.Local Fullertonites don’t be mad i have to share this great place.
