Luigi's D' Italia - Pasta forno. So good! - Italian Near Me - Fullerton, California

I gotta admit, it's a pretty non descriptive place in a large strip center. Ambiance, it doesn't have. Not even much seating. That said, the food was solid. Service good. I'd love to see them expand into the unit next to them and have a real dining area. read more

Luigi's D' Italia is a hole in the wall type of restaurant that is tucked in a small plaza. Cassie F. And I stumbled upon this place after lunch but before dinner time. There are many Italian favorites but we ordered the spaghetti marinara, cabonara with bacon, a salad, and a meatball sandwich. The pasta dishes were on point but I felt the meatball sandwich was too dry. The service was amazing and the lady was so sweet! Highly recommended :) read more

I am SO happy we found Luigi's D'Italia!! My husband and I have been looking for a new pasta spot and let me tell you - this is IT. Plenty of parking, casual setting with indoor + outdoor seating, super friendly staff, and most importantly, AMAZING pasta! I ordered the Fettuccine Della Casa which is their creamy fettuccine with bacon, peas, and mushrooms - I loved how savory and flavorful this dish was! And my husband ordered a special that they had which was pasta with fresh clams. SO good. We also enjoyed their garlic bread which came with our orders - perfect for enjoying with leftover sauce :) We will 100% be back! Highly recommend for anyone who loves a hearty, homey pasta dish. read more

Luigi's D' Italia - Italian Near Me - Fullerton, California

Take out pizza was just ok. Maybe an average pizza, nothing special. I'd rather have Dominos and it is cheaper. We will be back and try something else though. Nice looking menu. We used to go to the old location in Anaheim years ago. Staff was friendly. read more

Awesome food!!!! We had it delivered...so good!!! We ordered 2 pasta dishes linguine principessa and the tortellini D'Angelo both were amazing can't wait to reorder from here again read more

Great Italian food at a fair price, both for dinner or lunch. Was impressed with the quality of food and taste

Spaghetti Bolognese had good flavor but watery. 1/2" water in bottom of bowl. The complimentary parmesan bread was outstanding. No ambience at all. One row of tables with 5' high stainless steel panels running the length of the tables, separated by a walkway. Windows were covered so absolutely no view. Will not return. read more

Small, "hole in the wall" kind of place with a casual ambiance. The food is fantastic!

As a huge fan of Kitchen Nightmares and after seeing all the raving reviews online, I was excited to finally try out Luigis. Unfortunately I was left disappointed and let down. The woman working there was very cold and not welcoming at all during my visit. Ignored us and had an unfriendly attitude that soured my entire visit. Despite my opinions on the food, will not be coming back due to how bad the service was. Really wanted to support and love this place because it had such a cool backstory. read more

We drove over an hour and a half to eat at Luigi's D'Italia, and it was completely worth it. I had the Penne Arrabbiata--perfectly cooked and full of flavor, easily one of the best pastas I've ever had. We finished with the tiramisu, which was absolutely delicious. My wife said it was one of her favorite meals ever. Great food, great experience--we can't wait to come back! read more

Pizza was just so so. Nothing special....but the biggest problem was the unwelcoming snotty woman owner who either ignored you or was rude. I don't understand a family owned business owner being so rude. read more

Don't let the looks deceive you. We almost passed on this spot cause it was empty. But we are so glad we stopped as the food is authentic and super delicious. Would highly recommend. Don't sleep in this spot! read more

Luigi's D' Italia - Great gnocchi and their special rigatoni! - Italian Near Me - Fullerton, California

The garlic bread was so tasty! Great pairing with the seasoned olive oil they had on the table. These pastas are phenomenal - they were not salty and not heavy. Portion sizes was good. This is the best pasta place I have ever been to. Grace was super sweet and generous read more

Horrible- I got home and the sausage they placed on top of the pizza looked spoiled- i threw it all away- the cheese on the pizza looked old- I have never ordered a pizza that looked that bad ever- I ordered spaghetti-it all went into the trash- I called the other Italian restaurant down the street and re ordered dinner for my family! I that's what I get for trying something new- read more

This is probably a well kept secret Italian restaurant that people local to the place don't want you to know about. Because it's really really good. Nestled in a strip mall next to a grocery store and some other dining establishments you wouldn't know about it unless you googled or Yelp it. We were over at Brea Mall and the kids wanted Italian food for late lunch/early dinner. So off goes my wife to search for Italian restaurants in the area. We pulled up walked in and it's pretty no nonsense. There's about 6 or so tables inside and a few outside, looked at the menu and it wasn't crazy loaded with dishes which for some can be a problem deciding what to order. Here's what we ordered 2 adults 3 kids: Kid1: Margherita pizza (small about 4 slices) Kid 2: Italian sub Kid3: linguini with clams in a red sauce Wife: cheese ravioli Me: Italian spicy meat pizza (medium) After we ordered we were given complimentary cheese garlic bread. Amazing, we destroyed it quickly Shortly after, came our order. Portions were generous but not overly abundant as we stuffed ourselves with the garlic bread it was perfect. Wife's ravioli sauce was spectacular, rich hearty and herbaceous. My wife normally never finishes her entree and usually takes home the rest to eat later, nope not today she cleaned it. Son's linguini and clams was equally rich and thick full of little clams and you can see chunks of garlic. He powered that down and normally would eat anyone's food if they couldn't finish it, not this time he was stuffed. For a 16 yo to say that you know the portions were just good right for that growing boy. Daughter 1 equally finished her pizza and daughter 2 couldn't finish her sun because of the garlic bread she chowed down prior. My pizza was great as well loaded with slices of Italian sausages and the crust was thin crust (the way I like it). I managed to eat all but two slices which I'm looking forward to eating later. All in all great dining experience and loved the fact that it was a casual sit down restaurant with no frills just good quality Italian food. Local Fullertonites don't be mad i have to share this great place. read more

This restaurant is family owned and staffed and is just simply the BEST!!! The food is so good, hand made and has great portions. The pizza is hand made to order and cooked to perfection. The ambiance is lively and buzzing with conversations. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if Italian food is in your list read more

This is a great small place. This restaurant is mostly known for takeout but they have about six tables. Service is always outstanding and the food is authentic Italian. The sauce is on the spicy side and not the sweet side. Portions are huge and you have plenty for leftovers. A must whether takeout or eat in. read more

There's just something about hole in the wall, mom and pop, Italian spots!! The location is small (approximately 5 tables with 4 chairs at each table) but packs a big punch! Right when I walked in I was immediately welcomed and sat. Right away I was given a basket of some of the softest garlic bread (very yummy!). To start i ordered the calamari (8.5/10) and the antipasto salad (5/10). The calamari was breaded to perfection and the marinara they provide is phenomenal. While you're eating you can actually see the gentleman in the back adding all the ingredients to make the marinara fresh (PRO TIP: save some garlic bread to dip in the marinara). As for the antipasto salad...I was not impressed. It is as slightly basic and small which isn't a big deal, next time maybe I'll just order more bread! Haha For my meal I ordered the baked ziti (12/10) and the combo pizza (9/10). The baked ziti is a must! Nice baked crust over the top, full of creamy ricotta on the inside, and just a hint of their sauce which has a nice sweetness which is a perfect pairing. The pizza was solid, nothing out of the ordinary but had a nice thin crust, lots of topping, and good tasting! For dessert I ordered a cannoli and wow. What a great way to end a very savory meal. The cannoli was fresh, palate cleansing, and wasn't overly sweet. Overall I highly recommend this place! I will definitely be back! read more

Have been wanting to try Luigi's for a while. Ordered a pizza and salad online for pickup. Pizza crust was thin and soggy, which ruined it for me. Even worse was the service. The older woman working there was very rude and unwelcoming. This is a very small restaurant and not busy when we went in to pick up our online order. She did not acknowledge us when we walked in. I told her I was there to pick up an order. Other than confirm my first name, she didn't say another word. She placed the pizza box on the counter and bag with salad on top, then turned her back and walked away! No thank you, no smile, nothing. Very unfriendly and uncomfortable behavior. I will definitely not be returning or recommending this restaurant. read more

Went with the family for our first visit here last night. We got garlic knots, lasagna, and a pizza. Overall the food was decent. Pricey for what it was, but good. The garlic knots were definitely different from your common ones. Not bad, just prepared differently. A nice change of pace. The pizza just needed some grease removed, but the Italian quality was definitely there. Lastly, the lasagna. It was straight liquid lasagna when brought out, sadly nothing like the photos others have put up. I let it sit for a while to solidify, then loaded it up with some parmesan. At that point, it ended up being really good. I'd definitely give it a second chance. Our waitress was top of the line, best in her class. Super friendly, very accommodating. It was slow when we first arrived, but filled up quickly, but she didn't skip a beat. I'd go back just to be around that... A great dining experience all around. read more

Luigi's D' Italia - Soupy AF lasagna, but still decent. - Italian Near Me - Fullerton, California

First of all the service! The owner! So nice. The staff said hi too. My first time here. My buddy took me here for lunch. I am always very picky with food. But this place! Wow. So coming back! Garlic knots! Delicious! The bread, with the balsamic! The spaghetti with meatballs! Huge portion and delicious. The noodles, the meat sauce, and meat balls. So good! I almost didn't finish the whole plate. It's really good portion. Now the Tiramisu! Prob the best one I've ever had to date. Wow. My buddy was not kidding. It was so good I had to get my own slice. Just goes down so smoothly. Not too sweet, not too bland. It was perfect. I can't wait to come back again. Who knew! read more

Once again I must thank Luigi and Grace for a marvelous dining experience. My health prevents me from eating out as often as I once did. On our latest visit to Luigi's my wife ordered Meat Ravioli with a side of most excellent garlic bread. I ordered a pizza my way. As always the service was friendly and fast. The meat ravioli was made to perfection. In fact she completed her very generous portion before I had finished a piece of my pizza. For dessert we ordered a piece of rum cake baked by Francesca. As always it was moist and delicious. To further our dining experience there are 2 big screen televisions so we were able to watch both the Angels and USC at the same time. read more

Food is amazing and the owners are so nice and inviting! Pizza and pasta was so delicious!!! They came and checked on us multiple times! Definitely coming back! read more

Great small town feel. Ate inside and discovered that their marinara sauce is insanely good. Service was reasonably friendly and we will probably be back to try more on the menu! read more

We were on our way home to LA from a Disneyland trip and decided to look for an Italian place for dinner on the way back. We saw Luigi d'Italia on here on Yelp with raving reviews from the locals so we decided to make a stop here. We were greeted by Grace who promptly seated us and started us out with their immaculate garlic bread while we ordered. Perfectly crispy and the butter and garlic flavor is just right. I could not put it down. I had to stop myself from eating too much or else I would be too full for our dinner. As for my order, I got the rigatoni with chopped clams in clear sauce. The clams were nice and tender and the basil in the clear sauce made it very flavorful. We shared a medium sized classic Margherita pizza. The crust was nice and crispy and the tomatoes were fresh. Now we understand why the pizzas have been pushing out all night! Lastly, we ended our dining experience with their cannoli for dessert. We noticed that it was well written about here on Yelp, and the hype was real. The cream was not too sweet and the perfectly crunchy pastry was a pleasure to bite on. All in all, a wonderful restaurant nestled in a busy plaza? can be easy to miss unless you're lookign for it, and you should! Blink and you'll miss it. Thank you Grace for being so hospitable to us, despite us coming in a little close to closing time, and thank you for the excellent dishes Luigi! We'll definitely stop by again. read more

A+ Love this place , I typically get a Hawaiian pizza thin crust. There is a newer chef there(Chris) this guy knows his stuff!!! Bomb food, fast service , and clean. Their pizza melt in your mouth Must try the fried calamari!!!! read more

If i could give this place infinite stars, i definitely would! My partner and i have been going here for a while now, and have tried other Italian places - nothing compares to this one. The plates we order are consistently delicious and flavorful. I personally love the Fettuccine Alfredo - it's very creamy! The oil they have at the table is the perfect amount of spicy to pair well with the warm and toasted garlic bread! The owner and son are very attentive to detail and the service is quick. The ambiance is also very cozy! read more

We didn't realize that they re-open at another location. The same people that use to be in the Anaheim location. Smaller location with limited seating but very clean inside. People are as nice as can be as they treat you like family there. Food is excellent as always. Our favorite Italian restaurant. read more

The food my friend and I shared was absolutely amazing 10/10. We were sitting and eating, but someone from next door came in a couple of times just getting water. We were confused, but the employee started telling her to get out. We realized that the employee from next door was not being very kind. She was being slightly rude and the employee from Luigi's D'Italia was talking back and telling her to leave. We believe the restaurant is not in the wrong. Besides that we loved both the food and the experience :) read more
