We had an awesome experience Saturday night. The singer was great and the food was exceptional. The atmosphere with outside dining was top of the line. The waiter, Nick, had a great sense of humor, and for his second night as a server, was really good . Cudos to Kerri and Ralph for creating such an outstanding dining experience!

I really like this place. I give it a 4 because it's nothing spectacular. It's good food, but that's really all it is, is good. It's not great. It's not restaurant quality. Like your aunt makes this stuff for family events. I get why it's always packed, but it's just food. It's catered food available in abundance, then they prepare it for you. That's all it is.

Used to be one of my favorites, now it is a bit much. Ordered my bf a sausage and pepper sandwich.. 3 small thin slices of sausage in a large, just a pile of peppers and onions. Bland too. Last time I thought it was a one off, mistakes happen but twice and my meatballs tasted like the bagged frozen type.Not to mention calling in an order, they tell you 20 minutes, I arrive after 30 and it hasn't been made.So very disappointed

I had the most delicious pasta Aioli and would get it again but the portion was smaller than a kids meal. I am by no means saying i would never eat here again just a bit disappointed since pasta is so cheap to begin with.

We were here after a Baptism. After finally being greeted by our server, which took quite a while, everything went well. The service was good from the waitresses, bussers, and bartender. The food was good. Prices and portions were average. I would recommend.

The parking can be a little tight, but once you walk through the doors, you realize it's worth the effort! I normally grab something from the express side, but recently had a girls night in the restaurant. The staff was very attentive, the noise level was low so we could actually have conversation, the food was excellent and reasonably priced. I highly recommend the Polenta fries, Chicken Marsala, and any of the Pasta dishes, and of course the carrot cake. They offer perfectly sized portions and several appetizers and salads to choose from.

Love this place for dine in and take out. The food is delicious and never disappoints. Their deserts are really good too, highly recommended!

Always good at Luigi's! It's a treat to take home their delicious mac & chz, meatballs and chicken e'scarole soup. The desert selections are absolutely succulent! And, don't forget the dinner rolls for later ons snack...

My daughter Beth and her husband Stephen ordered Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners from Luigi’s. Both meals were so delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant Wonderful people to work with.

We came here for the sit-down experience as we have had the take-out service other times in the past. The food is all great and wonderfully presented, but the dishes just lack DEPTH of flavor. If they went that extra step to really season their food and not leave it so bland, then they would REALLY be correct in using the word "gourmet" in their title. We started with the Stuffed Mushroom Caps as an appetizer and they were good. Then I had the Frutti di Mare with Handmade Spaghetti (pictured) which again looked and tasted good, but it needs that extra punch of flavor to really make it soar! My husband had the Pappardelle Bolognese and he noted the same situation where it just lacked depth of flavor. If and when they do that, then they would REALLY be a five-star establishment.
