Mama Luigi's is a charming gem that perfectly blends tradition with the cozy feel of a mom-and-pop restaurant. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted with a unique ambiance that immediately feels like home. The décor exudes warmth and nostalgia, reminiscent of a classic Italian trattoria, with rustic touches and quaint details adorning the space. One of the standout features of Mama Luigi's is the live music that fills the air. Talented musicians serenade diners with soulful melodies, adding to the restaurant's inviting atmosphere. It's a delightful touch that sets Mama Luigi's apart from the typical dining experience. Now, onto the food. I had the pleasure of trying their Ribeye Steak with smash potatoes, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a mouthwatering char on the outside and tender, juicy meat on the inside. Each bite was bursting with flavor, leaving me craving more with every forkful. And the smash potatoes? They were the perfect accompaniment, creamy and rich with just the right amount of seasoning. After such a wonderful dining experience, I know for certain that Mama Luigi's will be seeing me again in the future. With its inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and live music, it's the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression. I can't wait to return and sample more of their delightful menu offerings. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for over 25 years, and we always have a great time. Mama Luigi's is a treasure that I absolutely adore! The inside gives off a wonderful old-world Italian vibe with light background music ranging from Frank Sinatra to Bobby Darin. The food is top-notch, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The bruschetta is complimentary, and the bread is always warm and buttery soft! I usually order the margherita pizza and stuffed shells for the table. My husband gets the filet mignon medallions, while I opt for the seared salmon. The servings are always generous and entrees come with choice of soup or salad. The staff is always welcoming and polite and the drinks are fun. They have a separate bar with live music and have a venue to host private events. For those with a sweet tooth, I highly recommend trying tartufo - a delightful Italian dessert that consists of a ball of ice gelato, covered in a chocolate shell, with a cherry in the center. Without a doubt, Mama Luigi's is a place where you can make beautiful memories while truly enjoying delicious Italian cuisine in a charming and cozy setting. read more

Was there for a meal. A woman, began talking to table next to us. She was talking loud enough that easily heard. She was going on about how glad she was that Trump won and now the government would start going after LGBTQ people and illegals. That she Prayed to God and he answered. 15-20 minutes of this conversation. While it was going on I asked our server, who we later learned was an immigrant, if she was the manager. He said she was the owner When she walked away from the table she was talking to, I asked if she thought that her conversation was appropriate not knowing others' backgrounds that were also in the restaurant. Her response was. that is wasn't inappropriate and that free speech was her right. In other words, this business owner has zero problem supporting racism or anti-lgbtq policies. We asked for our check and left. Here is the kicker. My mom worked for this owner's mom in that very restaurant 45 years ago. I have supported that business often in that time. I cannot support them any longer as she, the owner, actively supports taking away my rights and the rights of others with her bigoted views. read more

Why would you support an owner who thinks like this? I've also eaten here a couple of times over the years. Bland sauce, rude waitress and water downed drinks. I know people like coming here as it's been open for many years, but this type of thinking has no place in a local establishment. From Victoria, the owner - "So it's ANTIFA, who gets a pass. And it's BLM, who gets a pass. But now if you're white and a nationalist and not a globalist you're a supremacist. If you're white(which you can't help) and you love your own country (which why would you not?) you're to be condemned. If all the compassion can be dolled out to the other two groups why can't you understand that being labeled as a white supremacist wouldn't snap a few brain cells. I'm really getting kind of tired of the discrimination. First I'm not allowed to have my own gender. Now I have to agree that a man in a dress is a woman. So there's discrimination. And now I'm to degrade myself for my skin color. I don't think so." read more

We ate at Mama Luigi's the other night. The wait staff and food were excellent. The fresh warm bread and brushetta they give with there meals is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! We even order the a extra order of soup to go along with extra Brushetta (It really is that good). I highly recommend signing up for the rewards program - it gives you points to get discounts on your meals. Mama Luigi's also has alot of specials going on all the time. They have date night, Lasagna night, Prime Rib dinner specials - it is amazing!!!! For our anniversary they gave us a coupon for $14.00 for a free meal - who does this anymore..............the owner of Mama Luigi is really thinking about his patrons and that times are a bit tough right now - but we all deserve to go out to a nice place once in while - I pick Mama Luigi's for this - GREAT PEOPLE - GREAT FOOD - GREAT PRICES - you can't loose with this combination!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Me and my family have been with the mama Luigi's restaurant about all my life. Ever since i could remember we've went there for most of our family occasions. From birthday parties, to even weddings Mama Luigi was the first place we booked! The food is fantastic, the service is phenomenal, and the environment is welcoming. When you first walk in your greeted by a hostess which is very respectful and kind, as soon as you take a seat a waitress will greet you and make you feel at home. If there is any problems, the managers take care of it, and the staff make sure you leave satisfied. I recommend everyone attends to mama Luigi. Its a wonderful place to sit down and have a peaceful meal with a significant other or an entire family! read more

My husband and I really enjoy our dinners at Mama Luigi's. It starts with the fantastic Bruchetta and hot bread. This last time we had the calamari, which is on the great side. Although we love pasta, we chose the delicious looking lobster and steak medallion special, with a twice baked potato and wonderful green beans (along with soup or salad). We took a part of that home, and would have loved dessert, but we were both very full. Everything we have tried there has been first class. We like that they offer specials and entice you to keep coming back with that and bonus points. It's a nice atmosphere, and the staff and management are very attentive and courteous. read more

Mama Luigi's is one of our favorite Italian Restaurants. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like going to Mom's for Sunday dinner. The Margaritas are the best and one cannot beat the price.Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays $2:00 Margaritas. Best deal in town. The food is outstanding and the price is affordable. The portions are great. You always have enough for lunch the next day. Their banquets are reasonably priced. We are planning on celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary here at Mama Luigi's. The New Year's Eve Party is the best. Eddie and the staff are very helpful. Hope to see you at Mama Luigi's. Elaine & Ronald Olszewski Chicago Illinois read more

Mama Luigi's is an excellent restaurant at an affordable price. My husband and family frequents Mama Luigi's at least 4 times a month. I love the atmosphere, the wait staff, the manager and hostess. We are always seated immediately without the wait. We are served immediately with bread, water, cheese and bruchette and our food is always prepared as ordered. On top of everything the food and service is delicious. I enjoy going there and it is my favorite restaurant that just happens to be in my neighborhood. Excellent Service, Excellent Food, Excellent Location. Tracey Showers Chicago, IL read more

Food used to be good 20 years ago...then social media was born. The owner doesn't give a ____ about COVID. She thinks it's political & personal. Her racist rants on Twitter should let you in on a clue on her politics. Funny how she talks smack about Mexicans being illegals but guess who works in her kitchen? This woman is disgusting. I really wish she would stay away from voicing her political agenda. Maybe if she focused on cleaning the restaurant, perfecting their recipes & staying off of Twitter, she wouldn't be so bad. But I digress! read more

mama's has become our favorite place to go! ribs can't be beat, tenderloin medallions and filet is absolutely delicious EVERY time we order it. AFFORDABLE and probably with some of the best tasting food around. plus, when you order a glass of wine, you get a glass of wine, not a half glass like the pricier places. i know they're famous for their pasta as well, and it is wonderful: i coiuld never find restaurant lasagna that i liked till mama's! and the stuffed shells...oh my god, what can i say! read more

The Bruchetta w/the fresh bread is too awesome. The salad w/the meal was so good. There were actually some roasted red peppers and mushrooms in it, not just some iceberg, tomatoes and cucumbers like a lot of restaurants. And of course I had to take most of my stuffed veal parm home, but my stepson loved it! Yeah, he got to it before I did. A nice date w/my guy though, so keep it going! Thanks! read more

2nd visit. This restaurant is an embarrassment to the Italian community, and to Italian food in general. Owners are genuinely nice people, but they allow crap to come out of their kitchen. Burnt pizza, way over cooked pasta...al dente is not in their vocabulary, HORRIBLE seafood....stiff cocktails, but not stiff enough to make you forget how bad the food is read more

If you're looking for a good place to eat great Italian food, go to Mama Luigi's in Bridgeview, IL I have been eating there, on & off, for the last 40 ,plus years. They have everything from an entire meal to just desert. .And by the way, the tiramisu is the best!!!! No matter what you order you won't be disappointed. read more

Another poster said it & it's totally true. This woman is not only racist, but rude & completely off her rocker. My family used to come here all the time but I will make sure we never go there again... it was always just some cheap trashy dive place anyways, but now... I just cannot support this kind of evil woman! read more

Enjoy this restaurant very much. Always take our family for the great brunch on Mother's Day. Joined the club and will eat there anytime. The menu has all the choices you could ask for. Go between 3 and 4 and it won't be so crowded. The wait staff is wonderful and "johnny on the spot". read more

I have eaten in a lot of restraunts and I am here to tell you that I had the best Seafood lasagna that I have ever tasted. Mama Luigi's is Fantastic. there food, great service, reasonable drinks. The bruschetta is to die for, the helpings are enough for two meals. Thank you Mama Luigi's read more

Used to love supporting this place because my mom worked here. Buy just heard female owner Talking about Supporting Trump and how godly of a man he is and his plans. While we had a server with immigrant parents and immigrants working in kitchen per server. Will never come back. read more

My wife and son and I were here on saturday night. My son and I had the BBQ Ribs. The sauce was fantastic and the meat was falling off the bones because they were so tender. The service was very good. We had some desserts that were to die for. Overall, this was a greta time. read more
