    Immaculate food and service, they made sure everything was taken care of for our special event. Superb quality of pasta and fish with a comfortable environment. Cannot wait to go again. The bathrooms can be tight to get in and out of so give yourself extra time if need be. Other than that everything was perfect.

    My husband took me out for Date Night and we ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERYTHING we had. I even tried risotto for the first time. EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS. Our small course was the perch stacks. I had the Luigi Style Chicken and my husband had the Grandpa Prime Rib (huge, literally could feed 2 grown men). I don't know if I'd mentioned that the food was so DELICIOUS that my husband was planning our next visit while we were eating. Also the bread was so good he ordered it to go. Truly a GREAT PLACE!!! Definitely coming back again. Service GREAT, food GREAT, ALL SMILES and full bellies. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to many! Amazing homemade bread to start. The calamari appetizer is delish. All the main courses I’ve had have been very flavorful. They give you very large portions. Service is always top notch. Highly recommend Luigis!

    I haven't been here in about 20 years and the food STILL tastes the same! My husband has never been before and he really enjoyed the experience as well. We had drinks, pizza (The BEST!), chicken Alfredo, lasagna, antipasto salad and roasted red pepper soup. Everything was delicious and our waitress was wonderful! Unfortunately they ran out of cannolis but that's just motivation to come back ASAP! This place beats Olive Garden by a long shot! If you're in the mood for some awesome authentic Italian food, Luigi's is the place to go! 🍝

    Luigi's is an absolutely fantastic Italian spot, tucked away in HTP! One of my long-time local faves! The intimate, dimmed setting makes for a romantic, cozy date night or memorable evening with family. Their staff is always so attentive and welcoming! We've had the same server the last few times (can't recall her name) and she's fantastic! The calamari and salmon bites are solid appetizers, along with the hot, pillowy, amazing garlic bread! There are so many phenomenal entrees, you can't go wrong. Some of my favorites are the perch, pollo formaggio, and chicken parmesan. Their huge portions will definitely leave you with some yummy leftovers! Of course you have to save room for their luscious and delightful homemade tiramisu! It's small and charming which also means reservations are a must. FYI- if you are making a same-day reso, they do close their online portal after 2:30p, so you will just need to call them for availability that day

    This was our first time dinning at this establishment and the food was fabulous! Excellent service and we actually met the Owner. He came over to our table and chatted with us, that was a very nice touch. We will definitely be back soon.

    The best Italian restaurant on the East side suburbs of Detroit! The service, food, and drinks are all impeccable. Menu has evolved over the years and has only gotten better! I have been to Italian restaurants all over the world (including Italy), and this is still one of my favorites. Luckily, it's only a 15 minute drive. Keep up the great work Luigi's!!!

    Wow..!!!! This place is divine. Very cozy with great food. By far the best Italian restaurant in USA. No wonder we had to wait for one hour for a table. Extremely great food. Do try linguine Alfredo chicken pasta, breaded portobello mushroom and pepper sauce shrimp.. just amazing. Everyone near Detroit, do try this!!

    Really enjoy eating here. Casual dining, good food and great service. I love the perch here! My mom loves the prime rib and New York strip steak - excellent she says. I gave 4 stars because my last meal was good but not great - I had the scallops. I prefer a little more flavor/seasoning - i.e. butter, garlic, lemon & white wine. But overall definitely recommend this place.

    Excellent service,. The food was very delicious and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Luigi's. I can remember this place when I was a teenager, serving Pizza back in the late 50's, early ,60's

    Luigi's is a consistent hit. The bartenders and servers are always efficient and friendly. I rarely change up my order because I can't resist the peppered shrimp appetizer and pizza. My husband orders a variety of entrées and is always pleased with his selection. Also, their bread basket is one of the best around. Another thing I love about Luigi's is their reservation system. You can choose bar stools, regular table, or booth. I love to choose where I'm seated so that is a bonus. Since the pandemic, I believe they still seat mostly by reservation only so make sure you book online before heading out.

    Always a go to for a wonderful dining experience. This time I had the Classic Linguini with the arancini as an appetizer, but I've had a dozen different selections and am never disappointed. They have a special talent at hiring and training excellent staff. Even the young people who clear the tables know exactly what they're doing. Always look for forward to a Luigi's experience.

    Dined in for our anniversary, the food and service were wonderful. They even had a cute little card on our table. We will be back!

  • 3/5 Jamie A. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was great! However, I felt like our waitress could've been a bit friendlier. Also, not doing walk-ins & making it more of a reservation only type of place is a big turn off too. My family & I had come the previous day & were turned away due to this. I understand it's a small place, but there aren't alot of restaurants in the Harrison Twp area to choose from on a whim, & not being able to walk in, even to get put on a waiting list, isn't great either...all in all, good food, as I mentioned....

    My wife had visited with some friends a while back and said we needed to go to Luigi’s on a date. We finally did the other day and it was fantastic. There’s always a tell that the food is good when you want to lick the plates clean. We caught a delicious lobster pasta special and also another shrimp pasta from the menu. We will be headed back soon to try more of the menu!

    The team at Luigi’s is amazing - welcoming, attentive, appreciative and always working to ensure our experience is top notch. And the food - simply wonderful. We hope you enjoy your time at Luigi’s as much as we always do!!!!

    JUST A WARNING TO EVERYONE, ASK PRICE OF SPECIALS. TALK ABOUT OVERPRICED, $43 FOR HALIBUT "SPECIAL" desert special, strawberry cream cake, should have asked how much, could not believe $12 for a little slice. OK i know inflation and everyone trying to survive but never again. white fish and halibut where edible, nothing great, definitely not worth the price.

    Food was excellent! Service was great! Chicken Neopalitan was delicious! My wife had the whitefish and loved it. We were fortunate enough to be able to get a seat at the bar while waiting for our table reservation and really liked the friendliness and attentiveness of the bar staff. Definitely will come again!

    The steaks were perfect and the prime rib was huge. My son loved his pasta. It was noisy. But we enjoyed. I'll be back.

  • 5/5 Tammy S. 11 months ago on Google
    A friend recommended this restaurant to us. Although it was quite a ways from where we live we decided to go. Boy were we glad we did..everything was amazing!! By far it was the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Our waitress was so nice and explained and recommended items on the menu. It was well worth the drive and traffic. We will definitely go back.

    Since Covid this was hands down the best meal out I have had. The food was hot and fresh. The service was great. Nice atmosphere and the owner came around to check on tables. I felt that for what we got and paid it was worth it. I have not been able to say that lately. I had the gnocchi and my boyfriend had the steak with shrimp and pasta. We were so happy with everything. Excellent! Make a reservation when you go.

    Luigi's is a family favorite of ours for years. The best prime rib ever!! Amazing pizza, pastas and even their bread basket will have you drooling!!

  • 5/5 Erin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great lambchops, served blackened or Luigi style with spinach n feta. Pasta was delicious. Pizza looked amazing but haven't tried yet. Calamari would've bn amazing but extremely bland.

    Our first time here, and it was definitely not the last! For appitizers, we ordered escargot and shrimp rockerfeller. We ordered their special, blackened Swordfish with brussel sprouts, green beans, and vegetarian minestrone soup, and their Linguine Alfredo with chicken with a house salad, which were both amazing. The portions are well worth the cost and very filling. So much so, we ordered dessert to go - canolis. Cannot wait to go back!
