Luigi's Italian Tradition

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredibly delicious. Every bite was full of authentic flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The portions were very generous! Definitely great value for the price. We even had leftovers to enjoy the next day! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for outstanding Italian food with large portions and incredible taste, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Had my first meal here this past Saturday night. I was surprised that such a gem wasn’t completely booked up on a weekend. The food was outstanding reminded me of my Nonna’s kitchen on Sunday mornings. The staff was amazing giavanna was our waitress and her personality, corky jokes and attentiveness made us feel right at home. Just like walking into my Nonna’s house to hang out with all my cousins. It was nice to see that as busy as she was she still made it back to our table multiple times to check on us. We will be back and will recommend this place to all of our friends and family.

What a fabulous experience at Luigi’s. The food was delicious loved the hot peppers with potato and mushroom, codfish with cherry peppers and potatoes. The dessert was unbelievable. I will be bringing many friends and family here. Thank you Joe the owner and Josephine who was our waitress. She was friendly and gave us great service.

So disappointed. Not only did the new owner increase prices by approximately 25 to 35% , the food portions have also been reduced. At least serve the same portions. Additionally, I ordered the chicken parmigiana and discovered that the marinara sauce did not taste the same. It was bland. For many years, Luigi’s marinara sauce was to die for. The marinara sauce was once upon a time so savory , that it could be eaten by itself. Isn’t the marinara sauce everything in Italian dishes. So what happened? I’m afraid this establishment is no longer “Luigi’s Italian Traditional Restaurant “ nor the hidden gem of Newark in my book.

Stopped in on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised. We are not from the immediate area and used Google for a recommendation and it was great. Linguine Garlic and oil, potatoes,sausage broccoli rabe and of course the spiedini . Samantha waited on us with some recommendations and a smile.
