I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which was just average. Some people in my group enjoyed their meals, but one person was excited about it. I'm not sure if maybe the chef was having an off day. If I ever return to this restaurant, I may give it another chance.

The warm rolls were also good, and the tiramisu was well made. However, the coffee didn't come until halfway through dessert and there was no cream until after. The strong smell of cleaning solution at the end of the meal was overpowering. The waitress didn't clear any plates until we had a small mountain of dirty dishes stacked up on half the table.

The food is decent, but I've had better Italian dishes elsewhere. It's not a bad restaurant to visit, and I would recommend it to others.

The service was good, and overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was nice and I would rate the food a 4, service a 5, and atmosphere a 5. I recommend trying the Chicken Parmesan. The price per person is between $20-$30 for dinner.

While there are some areas that could use improvement, one thing that stands out is the high quality of their dishes. I have noticed a few things that could be better, such as the odd smell in the dining area and the overly bright lighting for an Italian restaurant. Additionally, there are usually very few other guests when I visit, so increasing business could help improve the overall atmosphere. The two waitresses I have encountered seem busy with other tasks and don't check on customers frequently. However, their pizza is outstanding - the thin and crispy crust, simple sauce, high-quality ingredients, and perfect cheese pull make it a standout dish. Overall, I would rate Luigi's a 4/5, but for now, I may just opt for takeout. Service: Dine-in Meal Type: Lunch Price per Person: $10-20 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
