There are some sure fire ways to tell if you are going to have a great meal at a restaurant. Here is what I look for: amazing food at great prices, time tested recipes, and awesome staff that care about every dish and every customer. I am here to tell you that Luigi’s Restaurant checks all three! Luigi’s is one of Syracuse’s absolute gems and considering that they have been owned and operated by the family since 1954, it’s safe to say that I am not alone in this sentiment! Whether you are looking to dine in, take out, or even for catering, Luigi’s has you covered! Come check them out, where they have been since 1954, at 1524 Valley Drive in Syracuse. They are open daily for all of your dining needs including takeout and grubhub! Give them a call at 315-492-9997.
Luigi’s truly has something on the menu that everyone will absolutely love! Their wide variety of offerings include gluten free options and even vegetarian choices. When you go to Luigi’s (or pick it up or have it delivered) be sure to start with one of their many scrumptious appetizer options! All of their appetizers are perfect for sharing around the table, which is, in my opinion, one of the absolute best ways to start a great dinner conversation. Whether you start with a plate of clams casino, a fried calamari, or even a garlic pizza, Luigi’s appetizers are a perfect way to start any meal!
At Luigi’s you will always find an awesome selection of pasta dishes, including my favorites Cavatelli with Broccoli or Chicken Cacciatore with Mushrooms and Peppers.If you love authentic Italian pasta dishes you absolutely can’t go wrong with the Housemade Lasagna, Three Layers Filled with Meatballs or Sausage, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan, and Romano Cheese with Homemade Sauce! Every bite is pure heaven in your mouth! I also highly recommend the House Special – an exceptional dish of Seafood Pasta Linguini with Shrimp, Clams and Scallops, served in a white based Clam Sauce, Alfredo Sauce or a red based clam sauce. On Saturday and Sunday you won’t want to miss the Prime Rib with Fried or Broiled Shrimp or Scallops! If you are looking for fantastic pizza and wings, Luigi’s is definitely a great choice! If you are looking for something extra special be sure to order the Luigi’s Supreme, loaded up with all of your favorite toppings!
Kyle and I headed out to Luigi’s on a warm Saturday evening. We had gone exploring with our daughter and our dog for the day so we decided it would be best to get Luigi’s to go! We were looking forward to an exceptionally great dinner and we were not disappointed! We had a hard time making selections off of the menu because we know that every single thing is positively scrumptious! We finally made our selections, placed our order and drove over just in time for everything to be fresh out of the oven! The entire trip home all of our mouths watered as the delightful smells of amazing food took over the vehicle. Once we got home we could barely wait to start eating! We quickly noticed that we had much more food than we needed due to the super generous portion sizes that Luigi’s is famous for! We started with the combo appetizer, a huge dish filled with fried delight including mushrooms, onion rings, chicken tenders and cheese sticks. Magnolia loves vegetables so it was no surprise that she loved the zucchini! We also enjoyed the fresh Italian bread and butter coupled with the Sautéed Greens,Luigi’s extra special recipe of their Italian Greens – they were perfectly tender with just enough spice.
Since we were home and no one was going to judge, we decided to share our entrees so we started with a dish that is a combination of some of our favorite Italian entrees, Chicken Parmigiana layered with Eggplant and Ricotta. This dish was a perfect combination of the three amazing ingredients, perfectly combined and topped with sauce and mozzarella, the side of ziti with marinara made this dish exceptional. I am told that this particular entree is a traditional family recipe. I can attest that it definitely is one of the best Italian dishes I have ever ordered! We also split the Italian Combo Platter, with generous helpings of Baked Ziti, Manicotti, Lasagna, Stuffed Shells and Ravioli. This dish is basically all of the best parts of Italian cuisine all served on one dish! We all had super full bellies and lots of leftovers to enjoy later!
At Luigi’s you can always expect only the best cuisines because they only use the highest quality ingredients in their dishes! For more information be sure to check out their website at www.luigisofsyracuse.com, call to place your take out order, or better yet, stop by today!
