Leonardo Sandwich wrapped up!
Steve R.

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!

Leonardo

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!

Isabella Sandwich

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

Italian subs. So good. I want it again
Jamie F.

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

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.

Italian Cold Cut Sandwich
Ayeshia H.

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!

Italian Cold Cut Sandwich

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.

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.

Meat doesn't even cover the 4 1/2 inches of bread.

I'm a big fan of cinnamon raisin pretzels and was happy to see that theirs didn't come with extra cinnamon sugar on top. They do offer a separate cinnamon sugar pretzel for those who prefer that. The glaze on the cinnamon raisin pretzel was perfect for me. My husband tried the pecan caramel pretzel as well as an original, with a large orangeade. What I appreciated most about the cinnamon raisin pretzel was its freshness and the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. The original pretzel had just the right amount of salt, which was great. We didn't care for the pecan caramel pretzel much. The pecans were a bit too toasted and it lacked caramel. The orangeade was delicious! I'll definitely be returning because the service was great and the quality of the pretzels really stands out. The all-beef pretzel dog is next on my list!

The pizza was absolutely incredible and tasted super fresh. They also had a great selection of beer and wine at really reasonable prices, which made the experience even better. I was excited to see one of my favorite beers, Narragansett, on the menu. We ordered the Caesar salad along with a white pizza that was half classic white and half pepperoni, and everything was fantastic. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and perfectly done. The atmosphere made for such an easy, relaxing date night, and the service was great too. This is definitely going to become one of our new favorite local spots near the house!

My first visit went smoothly, and the pizza was fairly good. However, I did notice that the customer service could be improved. A more welcoming atmosphere with employees smiling and making eye contact would make a big difference in the overall experience. I decided to give the place another chance and went back for a second visit. This time, I ordered two slices of their bread pizza, and unfortunately one of them had a hair in it. I politely went to the front desk and informed the employee. At first, he seemed to brush it off or not fully acknowledge it, and I had to physically take the hair out to show him so he could see it. He did offer to replace the slice, which I appreciated and accepted, but there was no apology or kindness in the interaction. Situations like that can happen anywhere, but the way they are handled really matters.
