    I just left this place and rushed to leave a review. The food was 10/10, the portions 10/10 but the service is what really got me…INCREDIBLE!!! I wish I remembered our waiters name. He had longer hair in braids, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for being so polite and for the birthday treat. Will be coming back and recommending to all of my friends!

    Being a first generation Italian American I rarely leave any italian restaurant feeling like I got a meal that was better or ever at par with anything any of the cooks in my family can make. Last night was one of those ultra rare times where I can actually recomend to one of these family members an Italian resteraunt. Everything we had tasted fresh, clean and light. The fritto misto was litterally among the best i have ever had, lighty battered and fried super fresh and crispy. The red sauce on the eggplant parm lacked the standard overwhelming burned garlic flavor prevalent in the red sauces 95% of other Italian places serve, but rather was again , light and fresh and tangy tasting. Also a single serving of any of the parmigiano dishes is litterally enough to feed at least two people, if not three. You will be bring food home. I also had a double cut pork chop perfectly cooked, seasoned, nice and juicy. The slow roasted pork belly appetizer was one of the most exciting new foods Ive ever eaten and would go back just for that alone, it was salty and sweetend by a raisin fig reduction or something, I litterally soped up the sauce with some bread when the meat was gone. Me and my wife also fought over the last few bites of the pasta carbonara, I never tasted real guanciale, wow! Luigino's also partnered with a nearby liquor store to have beer or wine effortlessly ordered and delivered to your table adding value to the entire experience. I know what the next hot spot in town is going to be and its Luiginos Parmigiana. I just hope this review doesn't add up to me not being able to get a seat next time. I obviously highly recommend this place, and if u get a chance find a way to have a conversation with Chef Luigino about anything on his menu you will be in for a treat of a conversation with a man who is very educated and passionate about the great food he creates. Buon Appetito!

    Undeniably THE best Italian food in Northern New Jersey. My family knows the chef/owner and when I met him I was impressed. Understand this, he imports most everything from Italy and his kitchen staff meets meticulous standards so be patient and enjoy a dining experience you could only replicate in Italy.

    Came with my girls to Luigino’s the place was super gorgeous I felt like I was in Italy. We started with Caesar salad with homemade dressing and croutons ! The cheese big and delicious pieces! Then we tried the mozzarella with prosciutto and roasted peppers! and wow! The mozzarella was freshly made in house as well! The calamari was fluffy and not over cooked! Then I had the polenta and short rib which gets served table side and it was absolutely delicious 🤤 still savoring it! My friend had short rib and it was big yet so tender and juicy! And of course Italian restaurant know for the pastas!! Well this one did not disappoint! We ate so much but had to make space for desert and thank god we did! The hazelnut gelato was delicious and the little donuts too!! Now mind you all the names on the menu will be in Italian but the staff is well trained and ready to help! I still have to go back and taste everything else on the menu! So if you are looking for fresh food right to your table actually made at the restaurant not store bought! Then this is your place !

    Italian food is one of my favorite things to have. Now coming here to Luigino’s, it made my experience coming there feel like a king. You get seated and greeted with some awesome person who is very friendly and takes your order. Atmosphere inside here was amazing, music in the background, the lighting, style and the images too made it feel like I was at a real Italian restaurant. Dimming the lights too was a very cool. The food was fantastic, got my main meal and a dessert. For my main I got a pasta with pepper to it. It was really tasty and was definitely fresh and homemade there. Other dishes such as an fries octopus and muscles was a real good addition to the meal. Wow! It was really good. I ordered a Tiramisu for my dessert, it was so soft, melted in the mouth, real sweet and was just something I have never had before. I loved it and I would definitely come back for some more of that! Overall, this restaurant deserves a 5 star for its amazing effort put into the food and especially for having such kind staff working there which made it feel nice. I would definitely come back here hungry for more. I would highly recommend this restaurant to other people in the local area for some delicious Italian food!

    The service & food were AMAZING. At first we were greeted by Chef Luigi & his lovely wife, followed by our server Gabriella who took the time to explain both the night specials as well as the regular menu. The flavors and presentation were extraordinary: To start I recommend the buttery, tangy notes cast iron caciocavallo affumicati & the mussels & clams in white wine garlic sauce & rosemary. For the entree’s carbonara pasta cooked just perfect, to the most delicious melt in you mouth soft polenta with short rib ragu topped with grated pecorino. Let’s not forget ravioli,mozz & prosciutto. And just when you think you are done, for the grand finale lemon & mascarpone panna cotta & bonbolini. Thank you Chef Luigi, Wife and staff, for a wonderful evening.

    Excellent 1st time visit to Luigino’s. We were seated promptly for our Fri eve reservation and greeted by a wonderful service staff. We loved the food! Nice portions, excellent selection, well timed with service, and fairly priced. It’s BYOB so remember your favorite Italian wines. The artichoke app is amazing- don’t miss it. While you may think pasta here, don’t skip the veal ragu polenta. Chef serves it table-side in a nice wood plate- fun touch. Save room for dessert.

    The best Italian Restaurant ever!! The service, ambiance, and food (of course) are all perfect. Every single dish is delicious and you can’t wrong with any of them. I originally came for their grand opening and loved it so I decided to book a semi private event with them. Alex, made the process so smooth and were very very accommodating. I wish Luiginos the absolute best!

    This restaurant is a gem 💎. Just opened in April. Took over the old Salute that was there before. Chef Luigi came over to say hello to us which I find him very endearing and you can tell that he loves to cook for his customers. The minute that you walk in you feel that the space is inviting, open, relax and cozy. Our server was very sweet. I love the decor. We started with the Pancia Di Maiale( slow roast pork belly with agro docoe sauce appetizer) and Il Tagliere( imported thinly sliced meats, olives and Gorgonzola dolce appetizer). For our main meal we had the eggplant and chicken parmigiana, the shrimp with prosciutto wrapped and spinach, the stuffed gnocchi with Parmigiano butter and porcini cream truffle, Tonno salad and a fish dish. I have to say that their stuffed gnocchi is amazing! I have not had better. Their other dishes were very delicious. I was just not a fan of the Tonno. It didn't tickle my pallet. Doesn't mean it's bad it just wasn't for me. I would come back again and again. Thank you for the hospitality and great food Luigino Parmigiana. Until next time!

    Came in the day before Thanksgiving for a late lunch. The restaurant was quite empty, as expected since we came during off hours. We stood by the door and waited for a while to be seated, even though the waiter and waitress both saw us. Finally another waiter came out from the kitchen and seated us. Service was quite good once we were seated. We were served bread and olive oil to start. The fried calamari and shrimp was delicious, plump juicy shrimp and perfectly breaded calamari. I had the cacio and pepe, portion was very generous and I really enjoyed the black pepper in the pasta. Would definitely return despite the rocky start to the meal. FYI - they are BYOB.

    I just celebrated my birthday here and it was amazing !!! We had such a wonderful time. Our server was Josue and he was attentive, interactive, so pleasant and not overbearing at all. He kept us smiling and laughing the whole time. We had appetizers and two delicious specials, starting with the spaghetti and clams sauce followed by the certified Piedmontese steak that was brought out by the chef. It was PHENOMENAL!! We have gone to all the high end steak houses around northern NJ, and this was by far the most delicious steak I've had at a restaurant. Great job! And thank you for the memories

    I went there with my wife and everything was perfect, I was looking for a nice and quiet restaurant to celebrate my anniversary, it was undoubtedly the best choice. Our server Baruch recommended the best food and it was perfect. Will be going back during the holidays with all my family.

    Luigino's Parmigiana is THE BEST. They are very close to where I am staying and dog & cat sitting over Thanksgiving. The place was packed, and their holiday decorations are very festive! Great food and their staff goes ABOVE & BEYOND to please their customers ! The cook and kitchen staff gave Baxter, the dog I walk, a biscuit and lots of Thanksgiving Love - they are truly awesome. Baxter was in 7th Heaven & fell in love with them. I highly recommend Luigino's Parmigiana!!!
