Luigi's Inc - Augusta

We went to Luigi's for our anniversary and we were glad we did! Service was friendly and unrushed, the place was intimate and lively, and everything we ate was delicious! Established in 1949, Luigi's is family owned and serves Italian and Greek fare. Everything tasted homemade and the seasonings were clearly family recipes. We started off with Spanakopita which arrived hot and tasty. This was followed by sharing a cup of Avgolemono Soup. The soup had a unique flair and was delightful. With our soup, we also had their Italian toast, which was fantastic. We both ordered the Chicken Parmigiana. This too was wonderful. The sauce on the pasta was so unusual and refreshing. The chicken was not smothered with cheese and the batter and chicken shone through and through. The portions were just right, even with appetizers. For dessert, we had Tiramisu. This too was clearly a family recipe. It was sweet, light, and enjoyable! Luigi's was definitely a highlight of our visit to Augusta. They know what good food and hospitality are all about. We highly recommend them!

This was my first visit. It won't be the last. They took our number so we could walk around downtown while we waited for our table. We get the call and we're off. We get seated and the server came by to let us know she would be right with us. She spoke with us about different bar offerings (only downside- no bar menu). We order our drinks; we order our meals. And even though we didn't have room for dessert, we ordered Baklava to go! The restaurant is small but very busy. And now that I have tasted it, I see why they stay busy!

Food. Tasty Tasty tasty, hot Meal Chicken livers , pasta, green peppers and mushrooms. Livers crispy outside, soft inside. Yes.yes,yes 2nd meal Pasta with eggplant Eggplant Portions excellent, favorable Sauce..meaty, cheese melted over the top Service Food arrived quickly, hot, The taste Salad...iffy..too warm, too small Iced teas as requested 2/3 unsweetened 1/3 sweet Atmosphere. Wonderful Many patrons Talking , laughing , enjoying their Service....excellent Background music delightful we highly recommend....

Charming respite. Huge potential. Would benefit greatly from a substantial culinary upgrade a highly educated chef, etc. Otherwise, one day it will simply die. The pasta sucks replace it with Cipriani 's at Bloomingdales. Waiters should not say to diners phrases like you still pickin '? That makes a diner want to reply I only pick my nose , etc.... Not an ideal dialogue.

If you want an amazing Greek-Italian fusion meal, with a classic ambiance and friendly atmosphere, look no further. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Augusta. When we eat here- we don't speak, but only because the food is so good. To drink, try the basket wine, it's a delicious red that comes by the bottle and is perfect to share. Try anything on the menu, but if you want some recs, here's what we get: baked Greek chicken with rice pilaf (You will dream about this chicken which is the granddaddy of rotisserie. You get half a chicken which is marinated for hours and fall off the bone delicious. , and a Luigi's combo pizza. We usually split the 2 dishes so we get a taste of each. We have a nut allergy so the only dessert we have tried is the tiramisu, but it was the perfect finisher.
