Luigi’s Italian Bar and Grill

I thought that this was a really cute little spot. We actually kind of came here by accident, but I am glad we were able to stop in.
I really like the way the restaurant was decorated. I thought it was cute and made it seem more intimate. I am a sucker for string lights.
The food was very reasonably priced. The three of us in my group had water to drink and our bill was around 23 dollars and we all left stuffed! The complimentary rolls were really good and I was really impressed with the portion sizes of our meals. I could have easily split a stromboli or calzone with my mom and we still would have left feeling relatively full. That is actually our plan for when we return. I didn’t have their pizza but it looked really good. I would like to come back and try that too.
They also offer military discounts.

My wife and I visited Luigi’s Tuesday night for dinner. We were greeted and seated immediately and took our drink order. We ordered the mozzarella fritta for our appitizer. Very nice. My wife ordered veal parm and I had linguine with clams. Both of us enjoyed our meals with no complaints. It was our first time visiting this restaurant and I guarantee I’ll come back just to have the linguine and clams again. I thought it was very good. The service and staff were prompt and friendly. Overall very satisfied with this experience and glad to have checked out this local restaurant.

After hearing my friends and family rave about this place, my husband and I decided to see what it’s all about. We were not disappointed.
We were promptly greeted by the hostess and seated in a nearly empty restaurant. If you visit restaurants to enjoy the atmosphere, this is not your place. It’s clean and spacious but is pretty bare bones as far as décor goes.
We ordered the Mozarella Fritta for an appetizer. This dish consists of a large slice or mozzarella breaded in panko bread crumbs served on top of their house marinara sauce. I’m not a huge fan of marinara sauce but I do enjoy their sauce. It is sweet and full of fresh tomatoes. My husband ordered the Stromboli and I had the Lobster Ravioli. Both entrees were reasonably priced and arrived at our table quickly. The Stromboli is huge, my husband has never been able to finish the whole thing in one sitting. He enjoyed the variety of meats packed into the crispy bread like crust. My lobster ravioli was delicious, their tomato cream sauce is my absolute favorite. Perfect combo of tomato, cream, and cheese; I told my husband I could eat the sauce all by itself.
If you’re looking for quick and delicious Italian food at a reasonable price with great service definitely stop in to Luigi’s!

My chicken piccata was OK, but my husbands lasagna was awesome! Their marinara sauce is excellent!

Been here twice. The first was the soft opening where I ordered chicken picata but instead got some form of lemon flavored alfredo with microwaved rubber chicken. No breading, no capers, none of what comes with chicken picata. I put salt pepper, crushed peppers and squeezed the lemons that came with it to try and get some flavor but it was still beyond bland. I tried to contact the manager on fb to let him known about the incident and to help because it was part of the soft opening. I thought I could help.
I never heard anything from them ever.
A few months later we went back just to see if they had improved… sadly this time was actually worse. Our poor waiter couldn’t even take our order because he had to make everyone’s drinks as well. I felt so bad for him because we were in the furthest away back corner from the bar. Poor man was dripping with sweat from running everywhere.
Once we got our order in we waited another 15 mins to get 6 toasted raviolis on a bed of ripped up lettuce with awful, bland, running tomato sauce. The raviloi tasted like the microwave version I get at no frills and the sauce tasted like they opened a can of crushed tomatoes and called it good.
In the meantime the table next to us got drinks, appetizers and rolls while I sat with an empty water glass and my husband had to ask (who I assumed was the manager) 3 times for another beer. The manager said I’ll tell your waiter but never took the initiative. I assume he was the manager because he was speaking with all the other tables.
30 mins after our appetizers and still nothing to drink our food came. My husband got lobster ravioli that came with 3 yes only 3 raviolis that barley covered the bottom of the plate. I got a combo of a few classic items, lasagna, raviloi etc. Again the food was so bland and fresh from can tasting I barely ate anything. By the time we finished our meal the manager brought us our check and the rolls we were supposed to get at the begining of the meal. He asked up if there was anything else he could get for us, a box perhaps (pass). Both of said something to drink and he tells our waiter who brings it right to us apologizing for being absent and why he felt awful about not being to help but hoped the manager got us what we needed (he didn’t).
Needless to say, I just don’t see the appeal of this place or why they don’t have the correct help and organization so things run smoothly. Most importantly the food is just awful and flavorless. I had such high hopes for a place like this in Bellevue but WOW, this was beyond disappointing.

They have the very best of food and food is always hot. Not a fancy place more like a family place. Will brag on them to anyone.

Just finished dinner had the pasta sampler. Service was fast. Food was good. The sauce was light and tasty. Would certainly recommend this place. I will be coming back.

Great authentic food, well priced, great service and very clean. My husband, the Italian, always like to see his pasta dishes served with a spoon, he says it means there is a true Italian in the kitchen!

Heard a lot of great things and they were all correct. I had the Stromboli which was packed full of cheese and meat. The bread is what made it stand out. Fiancé had the lobster ravioli and she really enjoyed that. We also shared the mozzarella Fritta which is basically a chunk of fried cheese. How can that not be delicious? Service was excellent but for about 15 minutes we were the only table there. Will be back again.

My friend and I had lunch and Luigi’s. We both had garlic cheese bread and pizza. Our server was attentive and refilled our drinks promptly. Pizza and garlic bread had good taste. Only drawback was the time it took to get our food. Next time I will order something else besides pizza to get a taste of a specialty dish.

Very good food, at a decent price. Staff is friendly and attentive. Had the Chicken Parmesan and the wife had Chicken Alfredo. The tiramisu is awesome. Will definitely be back.

We went there about two weeks ago and had an interesting experience. I haven’t had tortelini all a panna since leaving Italy many years ago. It was a very pleasant meal, though they were way too heavy on the sauce. I did like the tomato panna sauce though it could have used a bit more parmesan. I font drink, but did notice there was a bar with a couple televisions, so if drinking and watching sports is your thing, they have that. The staff was courteous, but it would be cool if they knew at least how to say hello in Italian. And I’m not sure who the guy in black was that walked around looking at everything, I assume either the owner or manager. Either way, as one of two families there, a greeting would have been welcome, if not just a smile or nod, or dome acknowledgement we’re visiting the establishment. And finally, there is now one more waitress at an Italian restaurant that knows calimari is in fact squid. Blows my mind. Id definitely go back, if for no other reason than to bring me back to 12 years living in Italy enjoying tortellini all a panna.

Loved the name so I Stopped in for a pasta lunch. :)
The place has a nice club feeling to it. very very tall ceilings. The waitress was very prompt pleasant and gave excellent service!
2 pieces of bread came before the meal. and was warm fresh and really good!
The menu had a lot of good looking sauce choices and i almost went seafood. (glad I did not after seeing the quality of the chicken) Instead I went to the standard Chicken Alfredo.
The alfredo sauce was ok but lacked any salt and pepper. I had to salt the dish very heavily. the noodles were cooked almost al dente but not quite.
The chicken was a disaster! It tasted like it had been boiled. And looked like it was microwaved. Had zero color or char to it tasted horrible. I was really disappointed with the chicken.
overall it was an ok the lunch. I would like to try again but that chicken has me worried!

This is a new restaurant that opened where MudBugs used to be in the heart of Old Towne Bellevue. The family and I tried it this weekend and the pasta we had was very good. The portions were just right, and the sauce on my Vodka Chicken pasta was perfectly balanced. Service was also good, and I’ll be excited to go back in a few weeks once they’ve had a little more time to get things rolling. Bellevue has been lacking variety for Italian food, so this is a great addition!
