    We discovered Luigi’s 2 years ago and remembered the food and service. We come to this area from Massachusetts once a year. We showed the waiter a photo of our meals last visit. And told him we wanted the same again. He guessed correctly! Food just as good, great waiter with some helpful local info. Veal piccata best I’ve ever had…

    We experienced another wonderful evening from the moment our hostess sat us. We had a fantastic waitress named Catherine. She was knowledgeable and made our evening most enjoyable. Catherine and the hostess both sand happy birthday to my wife which was special and was appreciated. Catherine is always smiling,pleasant and an asset to the restaurant
