My Experiance At Luigis - York

My wife and myself went to our local restaurant on 13th March 2022 after many years of visits and found it as always beyond excellent! We started with a garlic bread pizza style; My wife had the chicken Cacciatoria which was brim full of the most tender chicken in a sauce that was to die for and with beautifully cooked vegetables. She was unable to finish her meal and at the Staff suggestion we had the remaining part of the dish boxed to take home. I ordered the 'normal ' Chicken Kiev Calzone Pizza, it was huge!! the biggest I have ever had, and we have travelled a bit; the pastry casing was beautifully made and the filling heaven. I tried my best but could not eat it all...so again brought back home to eat tomorrow. The service was attentive and professional, and we noticed that they made special fuss of the children on the next table. The only sad, nay disastrous news, is that they are closing as the owner is subject to advancing years; they close after Easter this year...great sadness! we will miss it.

Although we live locally, this was our first visit to Luigi's to celebrate a birthday. Friends had recommended the food but we were very disappointed. The chicken liver pate starter was oddly topped with charred spring onion leaves, which were inedible, the pate was acceptable. The prawn cocktail was just a plate of prawns in sauce, not at all appealing. The risotto tasted soapy and the steak, gristly and fatty and not cooked as requested and in addition to the pepper sauce, it was topped by a large lettuce leaf!!

Local to where we stayed. We booked a table at Luigi’s. Welcomed and seated promptly. Wine sample before ordering a bottle. Food choices excellent. Service excellent. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Excellent food service. Enter as customers. Leave as friends.

Been coming here regularly for the past few months and every time there is always something wrong with the order. This time the service was horrendous the person in charge was too concerned with the table of young women asking about drinks straight away and giving a free pizza bread while we and others had to wait. Order again was wrong and the dessert when questioned which was meant to have vanilla ice cream and a shot was not added was then aggressively taken away by the man in charge but we still had to ask for it be removed from the bill. Food is good compared to other restaurants but why bother going when the service is horrendous. We were not the only people returning food and frankly untrained 16 year old miserable boys serving is not what you expect when paying a premium price. It is a discredit to the kitchen team.

From receiving a warm welcome into the restaurant to being seated outside where heaters and mood lighting was provided so we could experience some al fresco dining for the first time we enjoyed it very much! The restaurant was busy and lively however the members of staff were ever so kind with explaining what drinks and what foods they would recommend to us. I was happy that they could do small portions of the food as I could not eat as much as my husband. The starter portions were huge we both were so surprised as the price wasn't much at all compared to what we received. As mentioned before the staff members were great especially the bubbly girl who served us. massive thanks to the chefs for producing top notch food! We will be coming again
