This is the sandwich shop you've been looking for. The bread is soft and chewy and feels like it just came out of a pizza oven. The meat to cheese to topping ratio is perfect, keeping the sandwich moist and complex while still letting you experience everything you're eating. The Italian cold cut was a great balance of fatty and salty Italian meats cut by hots, a little lettuce and tomato, and oil and vinegar. It felt considerably lighter to eat than it actually was. The Gandalfini was also perfectly balanced with roast beef, caramelized onions, and fontina. This is my new favorite place to pick up lunch. Be aware that this is strictly a take out place. You can't even go inside; you order through the window on their porch. read more

Fantastic little place. Buddy of mine were in the area searching for food. This popped up in Yelp. Small row house in what appears to be a pretty nice part of town, an area with a lot of new stores and restaurants. No indoor seating, and only 3-4 chairs on their porch. Walk up to the window, order, wait, and then either leave and eat elsewhere or sit in a seat and watch cars go by. We ordered the Apollonia and Scooch. They are both great. We got them freshly-made, nice and warm, in just a few minutes. Highly recommended when you're in this part of town. Just be sure that you have somewhere to eat if their seats are full. read more

I fell in love with this place years ago. A former employer used to order lunches from Luigis a few times a month. The sandwiches are huge, definitely large enough to be shared. I called my order in and it was ready within 15 minutes. I miss being able to dine-in at Luigis but I'm happy to see they are thriving through these difficult times. I usually get the meatball chub or the Gabriella sandwich, but I decided to try something different today. The meatball chub and the Gabriella are both served hot and never disappoint. I tried the Nero sandwich and it was great. It's also a good hot sandwich that consists of buffalo-style chicken, chorizo, fontina cheese, roasted red pepper, hot sauce and field greens. It was absolutely delicious. The bread was so soft and the flavors of the toppings blended well. Next time, I'll probably ask for more hot sauce because it didn't have much of a spicy kick at all. Can't wait to have this sandwich again. I always get a side of pasta salad and it's always good- full of flavor and fresh peppers and onions! read more

Haven't been back here for far too long! After some confusion about where to order (the first window) and what to order, I was set. Two other customers had trouble figuring out which floor (it's upstairs) Luigi's is located. Initially, there was a difference of opinion when I asked whether they had an eggplant parm sandwich and the server said they didn't--but actually the Leonardo has eggplant along with zucchini, pepper, onion and cheese on excellent bread. Potato-potahto. (My philosophy: Don't day "Yes, but..." say "Yes, and...") But it all turned out well! The Leonardo Sandwich was great as well as the Caesar Salad with chicken. I plan to come back and try other salads and hot as well as cold sandwiches or subs. They only have takeout, no sit-down. And remember: Luigi's is located UP the stairs on the porch--and you order at the FIRST window. And, oh, DON'T tap on the window. Someone will be with you shortly! read more

Made it out to Hampden to try Luigi's but missed them the 1st time as they actually closed at 3 pm. As of this writing, they are open 11 am-3pm daily (or "sell out"). Only takeout/delivery available for now. I'm sure it was a charming spot when they had dine-in but for now it's a pickup window. They had an ample selection of hot/cold sandwiches & had a hard time deciding as all looked good. We settled on the The Scooch (most popular (according to their website), Leonardo & La Porchetta. Perfect balance of roll to meat/veggies on all 3. The surprise star was the Leonardo. The thicker cut marinated roasted eggplant stood out with the squash, mozzarella, pesto & balsamic balancing it out. One of the best Italian veggie sandwiches I've had! The Scooch (roasted peppers and hots took it over the top!) and Porchetta also didn't disappoint. We also tried the Pepperoni roll which was ok-stuffed with an abundant amount of pepperoni with tomato sauce. Overall, this is the Spot in Hampden for some proper Italian sandwiches. We will be back! read more

I picked up a sandwich to go as soon as they opened and ate it a few hours later. I ordered the Isabella, no tomato, add lettuce. It was absolutely delicious, great bread and good amount of meat. Great value for the money read more

A classic Italian deli. High quality products. The way they put the sandwich together too.

Perfect Italian sandwich place. Bread is exactly what you want, balanced of meat , cheese, and toppings. Small but nice deck to sit out on.

I really enjoyed this place. The staff was friendly and funny. The subs are big and good. I been craving a good Italian sub, like how they used to be. Every where else subs are skinny and gentrifed. Their subs are like old school subs. I'm definitely going back read more

This is my third and finial time here the owner, this older lady, is very rude and obnoxious my first time here. I called in my order with the the young lady and asked for extra Mayo on my cold cut and the sub was great, the next time I called in my order I got two subs and asked for the same thing extra Mayo and the older lady the owner took my order, when I got home there was no Mayo on my sub I was very disappointed because it was a very dry sub. I called to express my concerns and the young lady apologized. A few moments later I got a call from the owner saying I didn't ask for extra Mayo and it made me a lil frustrated because I ask for the same thing every time and for her to call me back and say that was just unprofessional. Today I ordered my usual order cold cut with extra Mayo and she said to me oh yeah today you ordered extra mayo. This made me a lil mad because I knew what I ordered I order the same thing all the time. read more

Meatball Chub! With extra cheese! Amazing! Delicious! A perfect meal with chilly weather (and it's good in the summer too!) Even more, the service is friendly and quick! Go now! read more

If you're looking for a great sandwich, Luigi's is your place! From traditional subs to unique flavor combos like to solozzo (prosciutto, cream cheese, and cucumber), they've got you covered. Honesty, the absolutely best thing about Luigi's is the bread. It's firm enough to hold your sandwich together but uniquely fluffy. Just writing about the bread, I can't wait to return. Tip- they do sell half sizes if you don't think you'll finish a full sandwich. read more

I was in search of a great Italian cold cut sub that delivered to my neighborhood and I believe I found it by way of Luigi Italian deli! Every part of my sandwich was just right ... bread , meat , dressing, heat , size and flavor. This is probably my shortest review because it's a delivery but my goodness if you are in search of a divinely delicious Italian cold cut this is your shop! read more

This is a great place to get food. That have a take away window as well, for wanting to take food home. I'd definitely. recommend to people.

My boyfriend wanted to get the meatball sub and said it was large enough for us to share. He was right! We walked up to the window and placed our order; within just a few short minutes our food was ready. While we waited, at least 2 other call ahead orders were picked up - and this was at 12:15 on a Tuesday while the rest of the Avenue was pretty empty. The only downside was the canned soda we got with our order wasn't cold, but we were heading home anyway. This would have been more of an issue if we wanted to eat right away. read more

My favorite deli close to work! I love their bread and cant get enough of the tuna sub. It's so fresh and has NO MAYO. Very filling, but light. More places should offer tuna without mayo, but i suspect it would not be as fresh. My coworkers introduced me and I havent heard any complaints about anyone's order. Will keep ordering until the tuna is no longer offered or I leave Baltimore! read more

Great, fresh sandwiches. Our favorite is the Padrino and the Isabella is good too. Fresh ingredients and the bread is pretty boss. Service could be a tad friendlier. I kind of always feel like I am bothering them when I am there. Idk? Maybe just me. read more

Got the Italian cold cut. Bread was good quality albeit a little too thick, but they really skimped on the meat. I think it's boar's head anyways so it's not like it's something special, you can get this stuff at the grocery store. I would go other places. read more

I am updating my review. Since the new ownership, the quality of the food has dipped a bit. 1. freshness of the bread has declined. Come on guys! Get bread daily, don't serve old bread. 2. The meat in the sandwiches has been sparse. Italian sandwiches are meant to be thick. Still love the food but don't let me down with the ownership! read more

I was in Hampden one day and was walking around looking for food places to try. I love subs/sandwiches and Italian cold cut is one of my favorites. I saw Luigi's Italian Deli on yelp and decided to check it out. All I can say is that I'm a little disappointed. It was fairly busy when I went and took about 10-15 minutes for me to get my food. I ordered a Italian cold cut which was about $9.50 plus tax. $10 for 1 sub is a little too much in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the cold cut was bad but it wasn't amazing either. The deli meat was delicious and by far the best part of the sub. The bread was a little too hard and brought he sub down for me. As I said before, just a little disappointed in it. Luigi's Italian deli is a decent deli in hampden but I would recommend trinacria foods over this. read more

Was so hoping that I would find another great Italian deli in Baltimore. Unfortunately, this was not it. Thought from some of the reviews that it might be worth the drive. I ordered a couple sandwiches to try: *Italian Cold Cut (1/2 sandwich) - it was ok, but a little small and the filling to bread ratio was a little off. Could have used a couple more slices of meat and/or cheese. Also, there wasn't much flavor. *Porchetta (1/2 sandwich) - BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! I love Porchetta and was so looking forward to a great sandwich...it was far from great. Literally, one thin slice of pork and 3 tomato slices (see photo below). Did they forget to add something? I was shocked and would be embarrassed to serve this to anyone. And it was $5.50. I honestly took one small bite and threw it away. I won't be back. Di Pasquale's Italian Deli/Market is so much better. Fresh baked bread and and you get full sandwiches with plenty of meat, cheese and flavor. I have never been disappointed with anything I ordered there and they have a bigger selection. read more

This is a good spot for yuppies. The bread is very good But being from south Philly. The actual sandwiches are average at best. Depasquales in Baltimore crushes this place. I'm a full Italiano. Trust. Me. You can find. ALOT BETTER. Their meatballs are actually very very good. But. You get a Italian roll sandwich that seems to accidentally got meatballs on it. I was so excited to Go Yesterday. But after spending $43 on 4 sandwiches was highly disappointed. Price. Is fair. The actual sandwiches were. Not. Very fresh ingredients. But this place shows that just having very fresh ingredients can be ruined by not knowing how to Use them Properly. Give me those ingredients and I'll knock your socks or your Birkenstock's off!!! read more

Been a staple sandwich place in Hamden. I have tried most of their sandwiches and none of them disappoint.

This small wonder has consistently provided fresh, delicious food after three different owners. The bread is always fresh. Mixed greens never funky, and the Isabella spread is a sleeper hit you can ask for on any sandwich or salad. Ask for the Nelle, something I've asked for so many times they know it by name: ICC, no hots, no tomatoes with Isabella Spread. read more

My coworkers and I go to Luigi's for lunch occasionally and are usually satisfied with our orders. Although the prices may seem a bit high, you really get a lot more food than your average chain discount sub shop. I've tried a few of the subs, but don't have a clear favorite at the moment as they're all pretty comparable. One thing I must say is that sometimes the big ol' block of bread can be a lot to chew through lol. Overall pretty nice local sub shop with good ingredients. read more

I've seen a Luigi's sandwich single handedly cure a hangover. They once drew a nice smiley face on my sandwich wrapping. Their food is delicious and reasonably priced. They've always been accommodating with substitutions and making suggestions when I don't know what I want. They are good human beings deserving of your support and sandwich patronage. I don't think I've ever reviewed anything online before, Luigi's is that good. Eat at Luigi's. Do it. read more

Boy, is this place a dive! It is no bigger than my kitchen @ home! But they serve a great sandwich. I got the Isabella. The meat was fresh and the bread was soft and delicious. I don't plan on going back to Baltimore but if I did I most certainly would go back to this deli. I wish I could try more sandwiches here. I wish they were near. I felt like they belong in Lincoln Park, but I didn't have any trouble getting to them in Baltimore like I have trouble getting to Lincoln Park. read more

This place has the greatest sanguiches ever! Bread is perfect, the hots are exactly right, so good! *Chef kiss*

I purchased 2 Meatball chubs and 2 full Italian cold cuts and a roast beef sandwich for a Super Bowl meal. I was very disappointed with everything. Half a loaf of bread that had a piece of cheese and 2 small meatballs. The Italian cold cuts had 3 pieces of meat and a piece of cheese. Everything tasted good but I hope you like bread because for the 74.00 that I paid for my order I sure got a lot it and very little meat. I will not waste my money here again. read more

Nothing here except juice for a vegan! There are, however, a few vegetarian options. i love that they have cold-pressed juice on the menu, but the first time I came, I couldn't order juice because they stop making it at 11 a.m. (sad) and the second time I ordered it (came in the morning!) they girl told me that she "couldn't find the juicer." How does that even happen?! After reading all the rave reviews about the meatball sub, I picked one up for my boyfriend on his birthday. He liked it, but it is literally an entire loaf of bread, hollowed out, and stuffed with meatballs and cheese. I think he prefers a more traditional meatball sub, but he did manage to finish it (in two sittings). read more

They have my favorite Italian Sub in Baltimore (though I personally like to add balsamic to it). The meats are cut perfectly thin, the bread is fantastic, and I love that they use hots. Depending on your hunger level, you could easily split a sandwich or save half for another day (but let's be honest it's too good not to consume the entire thing yourself.) read more

So i had bookmarked this place to try sometime back, i decided to give it a go.. Meh i have had way better. Anyhow, i ordered two sandwiches the sausage roll and the nero. The sausage roll was pretty good, and the bread and the cheese complemented it well. The Nero on the other hand was ok, nothing much by way of a sandwich that is almost a hair short of $10. For one it was sloppily done, secondly i couldnt taste any chorizo if any, the chicken was on the drier side, the bread once again was a redemption. I didnt even finish it since it was a lost cause. In summation for the amount i paid for both sandwiches, the fact that it doesnt even come with a token side of chips, there are way better and cheaper options around. read more

Really not a good Italian sandwich. Bread was both stale and soggy, meat was a bit skimpy, tomatoes were crunchy and tasteless. Not sure how this passes for a good sandwich, but I've had so much better. read more

Their sandwiches are the best in town. So, after quarantining and eating a lot of bread and other carbs, I thought I'd try their Italian chef salad! It's loaded! You get a spring mix with tomatoes and hots topped with capicola, prosciutto, salami, and provolone!! This is my new go to from here!! read more

We've visited a few times to get their consistent sandwiches to go, and while they're not perfect or a destination place for us, they're definitely decent. I usually stick to the caprese, which always needs a bit of salt and pepper but does have good fresh tomato and the right ratio of tomato to basil to mozzarella. (Marked down on flavor a little because of how much better Atwater's tastes because of their pesto and good olive oil; and Stonemill's bread has more flavor.) D gets their Italian cold cut with the usual few modifications, and definitely appreciates that the meat is always freshly cut and the dressing is good. Pro-tip - if you're doing to go and not having it immediately, ask for the dressing/sauce on the side and they'll very happily give you side containers so the bread doesn't get soggy. read more

Have you see the 30 Rock episode, where the teamsters get sandwiches for the TGS crew once a year, and Liz Lemon has to choose between the sandwich and saving her relationship with Floyd? I imagine that the teamsters came to Baltimore and got their sandwiches from Luigis. Luigi's is as good as it gets. When I am looking to treat myself for lunch, I head to Luigi's. Every sandwich I've ever eaten here has been absolutely delicious. The Scooch is the most popular, but I'm partial to the Padrino or the Via Appia. All of their sandwiches are made with baguettes, which I absolutely love. Also, great life hack for ya: You can order a half sandwich! It's the best! You can also order sandwich topping on a salad, if your health is important to you. All in all, Luigi's sandwich are the best. read more
