Nice, simple local Italian restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. They offer a great selection of pizzas and pasta dishes, with something for everyone. The food is flavorful, portions are satisfying, and the menu has plenty of classic Italian favorites. A solid spot for a casual meal with family or friends. read more

This is one of the most racist thing I ever seen. Walk into this place to eat. since I wanted to use the rest room walked ask the guy to use the rest room before I could seat and eat. But the did not know those were my intentions he looked at me snobbishly and and asked me who I am and that he did not know and will not allow me to use his rest room. Very snobbish and disrespectful look and very racist approach. Damn read more

I'm not too jazzed with this location. The one in Rockwall is better. We entered and no one acknowledged us. We were seated quickly, since there were no other people here at 2pm on a Sunday. The waitress was nice enough but would hardly say a word to us. A different waitress brought out the "garlic knots", which didn't taste fresh, and I believe she didn't speak English. I had the seafood fettuccine, which had a ton of seafood but it didn't taste fresh. The other two ordered lasagna, which they said was just Ok. We paid the bill, walked out and no one acknowledged us leaving. We'll definitely not come to this location again! read more

Service with a smile, hot delicious food. Drinks & bread refilled promptly. House dressing is very good, sweet tea and rolls.... Yummy

We have gone to the one in Rockwall for 20 years and it's always great. We went to Royce City for lunch... or 3rd try. It was terrible food service and attitude! No more. SM Fate Tx read more

Food was good. They don't take Mastercard if it's the Apple/Goldman Sachs card which is unfortunate.

This was a terrible experience from beginning to end. My husband has raved about this specific pizza with Alfredo sauce instead of marinara and it was placed in Royse City. I am going to add that the place he normally orders from is in Rockwall. That's 7 miles down the road but, not including the other locations. Not unusual. However, when I call they're super rude while ordering. Granted we just experienced an ice storm so I dismiss the demeanor. However, I have my 14 yr old son go into pick it up and he confirms they're rude to him as well. Avoiding any contact and harsh vocals. Get home, my son and daughter's dinner, perfect. He got the chicken parm and she got a chicken parm sandwich. However, we got a large pizza with hamburger and pepperoni and substitute Alfredo instead of marinara. What we received was bread with a threat to sauce plus meat and cheese. After calling to say we were duped with sauce and tried to still say "its ok, I understand trucks can't come through" I was met with a quick hang up. They literally hung up on me. Now, I call back, not expecting a refund at all just confirming that it's not usually this way. They doubled down and sand "Benni" will cook me whatever I want when I come back. I'm not coming back and I don't want your money!! Anyway, Luigi's, specifically in Royse City is definitely not worth your time or money. Also, "Benni" if you see this, have the day you deserve. read more

This is my 3rd attempt to have dinner in this restaurant. The first time was horrible service and we never even sat down. The second time was something similar so we just left and thought it was bad timing. Things happen, short staffing or whatever. So finally my adult kids were craving Italian so we went tonight on my suggestion. I am guessing it wasn't coincidence the first two times because service wasn't great or even good. We felt like we were a bother. It felt like they prefer "to go"orders. But we kept on hoping for an improvement like maybe a slow start and to my disappointment it never improved. This will absolutely be the last time, no more chances for me. This is a Philly Cheese Steak, I think. At least that's what I ordered. Bread was rock hard. Meat was sparse. Completely unappealing sandwich and I tasted a corner of the meat and it was overcooked and rubbery. I didn't touch it again. My kids did enjoy the Alfredo and Pesto Dish. So it wasn't a total loss but also wasn't good enough to ever return for any of us. I should have really gone with my gut instinct and any restaurant that neglects the exterior of the business the way this one is ...is probably not really noticing attention to detail. So I recommend going once and checking it out for yourself but if you have a similar experience I think it's worth sharing with others because in my opinion we all work hard for our money and this place absolutely does not do anything to deserve it. Good luck! read more

Excellent dishes (chicken Maersk, pasta sampler, and chicken in a brandy cream sauce). Bread is very tasty (could have just eaten it). Good service. Quaint small town restaurant. read more

Casual dining. Excellent varied choices. Have eaten here several times so far everything has been excellent. The pasta basilica is one of my favorites The waitress is happy to help you decide or answer questions. They keep your glass full. There is nice music going and it is not too loud. read more

The food was great. From setting down until we left our waitress highly irritated and it took all I had not to say what I really thought. Understaffed yea but she was just like sitting items down hard on the table just kind of sliding it to you. Skip the appetizers because it took so long for her to even take our order for our meal. 25 plus minutes. She was beyond rude it was ridiculous. read more

Food is among the best and so reasonably priced too. I love this place and I feel lucky to have them here in Royse City!

Well... not really luigi's. Disappointing. My chicken was chewy and alfredo was thin. One small piece of chicken. Bread wasn't as good. Just disappointing. Kitchen is filthy. Just gross It's worth the drive to go to the real luigi's. read more

I don't know if it was the two day water fast I got off or what but this pizza was amazing! I got the Alfredo ricotta pizza. My husband got the deep dish. He liked it but wasn't what he thought it would be. They also bring bread out at the beginning & it was delicious and flavorful. My daughter got cheese sticks and my son got noodles & Alfredo and they both were happy and ate a lot. We will for sure be back. read more

Great People and Great food. Been going there since I was a young child as the business started in Rockwall.

Love this place! The food is very consistent and fast when we place it for takeout! I've been a costumer for the Luigi's in Royse city for years and all the staff is pleasant. Although some people may think the "owner is rude" he's doing an efficient job and has for years EVERY SINGLE DAY(regardless if he's not talkative to all costumers.) Thank you Luigi's in Royse city for making amazing food every-time I eat here and giving my family and I amazing and fast service. read more

Our to go order was packed in a large paper bag. We carried it out the way they handed it to us and set it in the floorboard so it would not turn over. When we picked the bag up at home it ripped and we found the food had been turned on its side causing all the sauces to spill out in the bag and leak all over my car floorboard. read more

It's all a disappointment. Even the dessert. Service was rushed and they rushed us out the door as if they'd been closed 30 minutes. Locked the door behind us and it was 15 minutes prior to the closing time on the door. Everything was bland and I tried a little of everything. Even the cheese bread. read more

We were in Josephine and passed by Luigi's as we drove back towards Dallas. Glad we did! The food was great except the rolls were hard and cold. We both had salads - and they were great. We made the mistake of parking right in front! Traffic is pretty heavy through there. Will go again - but I won't park on the street! read more

Luigi's Italian Cafe - Rolls - Italian Near Me - Royse City, Texas

I love the Quinlan location. Royse unfortunately has a management/ownership problem and it shows with the rest of the employees. We will drive the extra 25 min to Quinlan or Rockwall but won't be returning here. Service is TERRIBLE and the food was subpar yet again. We have now been here 4 times and I can't see me trying a 5th. read more

I've always received great service and great food here. I've tried the Rockwall, Quinlan, and Royse City locations. All are great although Quinlan is a little better. I love dipping the pizza crust in the garlic oil. I've never really dined in. Always carry out. read more

I'm a 31 yr old woman, ordered chicken fettuccini Alfredo, my parents split a lasagna with a side order of sausage, and what we thought were three salads with our meals between 3 adults and my 5 yr old niece. 2 salads with ranch and 1 Caesar. When the check came I double checked the menu because the salads were supposed to be $1.95 with an entree, $2.95 without. So 2 of our 3 salads should have been $1.95. We then went up to the counter to check out and asked why 2 salads were $2.95, and the Caesar was $7.95. Our unfriendly waitress said, "I asked if you wanted cheese and you said yes, so those are $2.95. The Cesar salad is $7.95." My Dad then said, "okay, it is what it is" and respectfully paid the bill, while I said I would not be returning. The other folks working there standing behind the counter did not try to get involved or remedy the issue. Not sure where the manager was on a Saturday night. After investigating the menu again when I got home, a full Cesar salad is only $6.95, but she charged us $7.95. And again, I didn't ask for a dinner entree of Cesar salad because I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. This is so disappointing because it was my first time at this restaurant, which I told her when we were ordering. My parents just moved to Royce City and they've been there a few times, so they wanted to show me a good time. This is maybe the 4th review I've ever left on yelp, and this only because my Dad paid $13.85 for 3 salads when it should have been $6.85 and I just think it's so wrong. Luigi's needs to make this right with my parents. Not a good start to living in RC. read more

If all possible avoid this location. Go to the one in Rockwall. Even though it's the same name, this location has the worst service & food. I watched couples get their own menus & silverware. Also we had to ask for sweet tea 4 times & never got it. Eventually we got unsweetened tea. Terrible.... anyway my wife asked for extra cheese on her sub & she got no cheese. In addition her sandwich was burnt. My dish had artichoke on it when there wasn't supposed to be any it. This was our 2nd trip at this location because other businesses were closed due to bad weather. Nevertheless we've never had any bad issues at the Rockwall location, but avoid Royse City location. read more

They were fast & friendly, so this review is for the pizza only - it was #notgreat. The dough was tough and overworked; the sauce was thin, and they left about a 2-inch wide flavorless crust on the edge, negating the fact I just paid for a large pizza. Pro tip for Luigi's: don't be cheap, spread your sauce and toppings to the edge, and DON'T overwork your dough! I could literally buy a better pizza from Walmart. Please up your game! read more

Lobster Ravioli is one of my favorites! They also have great, homemade pizza & make the crust from scratch

Ate at Luigis with my wife last night and had the weirdest/grossest thing happen. I walked back to the restroom and the chef was standing there peeing with the door wide open and the light off. I knocked on the door frame to let him know I was waiting and he said "one minute". Then he turned around, grabbed a paper towel without washing his hands and walked out. It's one thing to piss with the door wide open, but to not wash your hands, especially with a customer standing right there...Pretty nasty stuff. That was our last trip to Luigis. read more

We lived in Royse City for many years and Luigi's was one of our favorite restaurants. And it still is; so any time we are in the area we stop and eat there. We were in town for a memorial service on February 19. After we left the church 20 family and friends went to eat. Although Luigi's wasn't expecting such a large group in the middle of the afternoon the food lived up to our expectations. Whenever we eat Italian anywhere else we use our experience at Luigi's to measure the meal. I just wish we had one in Temple, Texas. read more

The best Italian this side of the world. This place makes everything it serves in house and it's pasta and bread are AMAZING! We used to live in Forney and would drive all the way here if we wanted Italian. Now we live in Allen and we still drive all the way to little Royse City, TX for the best Italian. Luigi's makes big chain Italian places like Olive Garden taste like canned Chef Boyardee. Tonight My wife and I had their special, chicken pesto. Hands down the best pesto I've had my entire life! The fettuccine pasta was perfectly al dente. The artichoke pesto was amazing with chunks of artichoke and grilled chicken. The bread served with every dinner is hand-made and ridiculously soft and moist on the inside and crunchy and buttery on the outside. Perfect for sopping up sauce and using as an extra utensil. We also ordered the olive oil and fresh garlic appetizer to dip the bread in. If you are not a garlic lover, don't get this. It's full of delicious minced garlic and some basil with the oil. Very strong garlic, but it's so good with the fresh bread! So far I've had the chicken pesto, the lasagna, cheese ravioli, and egg plant parmesan, and they were all astounding dishes. Every dish was stupendously executed. The portions are always huge and very take-homeable for a second meal. We will continue making the 25+ mile trip when we want a fresh authentic hearty home-style Italian meal. This isn't just food, it's enriching. You can taste the care and culinary art that goes into every recipe. I haven't had everything on the menu yet, but I'd be very surprised to find something sub par. Luigi's Italian Cafe is epic!! read more

I've always heard good things about this restaurant. There is one in Royce city where I live and one in Rockwall I believe they are sister restaurants.... Maybe?. Anyway stopped in for dinner one night at Royse City. I wasn't overly impressed, it wasn't terrible but nothing somewhere I would say I just had to return to. The food was good but not great. They are kinda pricy also. For my daughter (3 years old), husband and I , it was about $60 or so to eat. We had mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and they were very good but I think over priced for 4 pieces. I had a buffalo chicken Sandwich which was good but again over priced . My husband had a calzone and he enjoyed that. My daughter didn't eat her spaghetti, but my husband ate it for lunch the next day and said it was just your typical spaghetti. Nothing really stood out to me about the place. The interior of the restaurant is simple, there are maybe 10 booths and a couple tables on the side I sat on, I believe there was another part to the restaurant but didn't explore it. There Was An Italian man I presume was the own there and he was very stern and nothing close to friendly when we checked out which you do by bringing the receipt to the register when ready to pay. read more

Calamari obviously was frozen before hand and extremely rubbery. Felt like eating breaded condoms. The salad, so disappointingly bare. I ordered a side salad and it was just lettuce with one slice of a tomato. No onion, nothing! And the dressing for the salad was like oiled down marinara. The man at the counter was very unfriendly. Wont be back and wont recommend. Should've stayed home and ate a frozen dinner. read more

Easy Going Always Clean And Not Messy When You Order To Go Definitely Recommend This Place Great Staff

The lobster ravioli and the seafood tuttomare are so good! This is my happy place, great old school Italian and the portions are huge!

So disappointed in this place. I got the gnocchi with sun dried tomatoes. The tomatoes tasted so old, & the gnocchi was floating in sauce (not very good sauce)at that. The bread they brought to the table was hard and I believed it was from several nights ago. Also & this is the big thing to me, the bathroom was nasty! And I mean old greasy gas station nasty. For me this place was a pass, a hard pass! read more

The Garlic Bread Knots are the smallest I have ever seen in any Luigis I have been to. I went to the one in Rockwall and it is way bigger

Get family run Italian. Good food and great service! Even though costs for everything is going up the owner hasn't raised prices and still gives you free bread and refills of bread. Got to love that. Totally recommend! read more

Ok, I love the location in Rockwall but can't stand this one. They are never busy for good reason. The bread is old because no one comes a second time. We left before eating the main course because the building and grounds were shockingly run down, the staff didn't give prompt service despite no one else to serve (literally), the appetizer bread was horrible even though we asked them to bring out fresh bread to replace what they initially brought and we got tired of watching staff hanging out with each other. It was a horrible experience without a redeeming quality. read more
