“ Luigi's is a stalwart Italian in East Hanover. The food and service is consistently top notch. There are plenty of apps and main courses to choose from, consisting of all of your Italian favorites. They have a nice bar, with live music every once in a while. It appears there are lots of regulars that flock here on a weekly basis. I would like to see an improvement in the wine choices ”

“ What a find! Been in this area so long, not sure how I missed this place. Everything from the welcome to being seated to trying the appetizers and meal were simply amazing. The environment is very welcoming and warm. To top things off, Luigi walks around and introduces himself to the customers - loved his attitude and welcoming personality. He makes you feel like old time friends :) Now, the food. I don't know what to tell you. It took me back to my time in Italy last year. The aperol spritz on a hot day, delici seafood entrees and good company .... Just, wow!! Can't wait to bring the friends and fam here! ”
“ One of the better Italian places I've been in some time. We went for my nephew's 7th birthday, at his request. He said he could eat the chicken parm every day for the rest of his life! The staff was kind enough to split the portion of chicken parm into two dishes without adding the heavy mozzarella for the kids to eat it easier. They both asked for extra Parmesan, which the kind staff diligently doled out spoonful after spoonful. This is a white table cloth, traditional Italian place, but the feeling is relaxed and welcoming to families. The Orecchiette Barese had a heavy serving of Broccoli rabe, which lightened the dish. I had the pollo sorrentino which was juicy and had the thinnest slice of eggplant layered on top. It was served with a healthy portion of veggies and two seasoned potato wedges. The sauce is listed as a white wine sauce with a touch of marinara, but it made me think of a roasted tomato and olive oil sauce. It was so delicious. I highly recommend going. My family has gone for years and it's now the kids favorite! ”
“ I was at Luigi's yesterday for a private event. I have multiple dietary restrictions, and the waiter and the kitchen could not have been more accommodating! The waiter even requested a special pasta and served it to me! I was given special salad as well. I ordered salmon, which was a generous portion, perfectly prepared and delicious. Thank you for all of the kindness and the great food. It isn't always easy for me to dine out in a restaurant. So appreciative!! ”
“ So this might have been the best pasta I've ever had. No lie. Service was consistent and good. This is a classic east coast Italian joint. But this pasta was out of this world ”
