Everything geat said about this place is true! – My wife and I came down for a few days for the Ironman triathlon and added time to the trip to vacation a bit. We spent a few days exploring Galveston and found several restaurants of interest. Poynt showed us a few great places and lead us to Luigi's. The food was fantastic and the service was equal. Luigi was there and sang happy birthday to someone that was quite the experience. From the bread to the Alfredo and risotto all of it was fantastic. We will be coming back to Gal... read more

Wonderful Food, Great Service – First off, the service was spot on. I haven't had service that was so perfect in a very long time. We had a girl waitress who was kind, attentive enough, not overbearing, AND had great recommendations in both food and wine choices. She was always there when we needed her - almost like she had ESP! She recommended the salmon for my BF after he asked her about a few dishes. The salmon was prepared in a mustard sauce and was amazing ( I had a taste). I don't like salmon that much, he always has m... read more

Back in business! – We were there the night in reopened in June. As expected the service was a work in progress. They also did not have some wines on the wine menu. However, this is among the foreseeable issues when you reopen after massive damage. We will be going back as it seemed very much the same as it was before Ike.

Aftermath of Hurricane Ike – We live in Houston and have a second home in Galveston. We've tried many restaurants over the years and Luigi's is still our favorite. Best bread, fish, steak, and pasta served on the island. Food is always hot and good! We've found nothing to match it on the island and eat there every time we are in Galveston. It's a great night when Luigi sings -- what a treat! The restaurant received quite a bit of damage as a result of Hurricane Ike. We, along with Luigi's many loyal patrons, are counting the... read more

Wish their service was as good as the chef's singing – There was a bit of a wait to eat, but the bar was not too busy. We waited about 10 minutes before the bartender made her way over to us. You could tell from her body language that she was less than thrilled to be there. When she finally came over to us her attitude proved our suspicion. We ordered and smiled with the hopes that some small act would keep her from going in the back and buying the farm. Bartender, here is the tip we did not leave you: FAKE IT, I don?t reall... read more

Luigi is one of Texas' finest Italian chefs!... and friendly too! – Our second home is in Galveston. Over the years we have tried most all the restaurants. There are many great places, but Luigi's stands out as our favorite of favorites. Luigi is one of Texas' finest Italian chefs and his restaurant has a fine romantic atmosphere. The menu has a wonderful selection of appetizers, entrees and deserts. dishes. Slow down, pace yourself, share (if you must) as you will want to sample all that Luigi has to offer and still have ro... read more

FINEST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS – We live in the Houston Galleria and own a home in Galveston. We have been going to Luigi's for about 6 years and find it is maybe the finest restaurant in the entire southeast part of Texas! We find not one restaurant in Houston (remember we live in the Galleria) with better food, and NONE equal the hospitality, ambiance, and caring owner/operators (Martha & Luigi Ferre)! The article about them overcharging the tip or rounding it up is hogwash (that's not the word I really wa... read more

Not a good experience as a group – Our party of 10 (4 adults and children ? ranging from 15 to 27 years old) visited Luigi's hoping for an enjoyable Italian dining experience. Right from the start, this was not a good experience and I certainly don't recommend this restaurant at all. The wait staff and management seem to be out to make money, not to serve with quality and earn business. Overall, I would not characterize the food or menu to be representative of a higher quality Italian restaurant. The bread on the table was s... read more

Like the previous reviewers, I used to think the food here was fantastic. I would definitely have driven the 45 miles from Houston just to dine here. My last visit, however (before this one) was in 2003, like all the other reviewers. After my experience tonight I can say that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong at Luigi's. The menu was wrong- too many dishes overcomplicated by weird combinations like ravioli with smoked duck AND alfredo sauce. Not enough classic Italian. The veal osso bucco, which used to be fabulous... read more
