Chicken Pesto and Sausage & Chicken Linguini with Vodka Sauce
Sayali D.

We tried the Chicken Pesto and the Sausage & Chicken Linguini with Vodka Sauce, and both were really good. The pasta was flavorful, creamy, and came in generous portions. The bread wasn't very fresh, though, so we didn't enjoy that part. The ambience was okay nothing fancy but the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and would come back for the chicken pesto pasta.

Linguini with Clams at its finest, and the Spaghetti Marinara with Meatballs. The Garlic Bread was fresh and delicious too!

We were going to see a Movie at the CineLux Movie Theater and we wanted to grab lunch somewhere nearby. And WOW! Did we find a great Italian Restaurant! We met Ace and Hector and we asked if there was anything they could make for us quickly as we had a scheduled movie to see in 30 minutes. The guys whipped us up an amazing delicious Spaghetti and Meatballs plate, alongside a Linguini and Clams dish. Both of these dishes were absolutely amazing! I enjoy a good Italian meal and have visited other fine (More expensive and smaller portions served) Italian restaurants; however, if you want the BEST Italian Food that's both delicious and large portions (oh and the price that is more reasonable than the other restaurants!) I'd say visit Luigi's Pizza & Pasta as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed. We're definitely going to visit again soon!

So hot it melted the plastic cover! Good but not great.

Great meatballs! This was a hard place to rate because on one hand - really great meatballs and an awesome stromboli. Pizza crust also nice and flavorful. Surprising lack of toppings on the cheese + two toppings pizza but the pesto chicken pizza was loaded. The pasta was only okay, but some in our group loved it. Overall, the meatballs would push me over the edge and I would come here again. FOOD: Overall, I loved the menu. Good selection and I love that they have so many options. Again the meatball is terrific, but surprisingly they don't offer it as a topping on the pizza. Stromboli was the best I've had. They really filled it up unlike other Italian places. And the pizza was very tasty despite the lack of toppings. SERVICE: Wasn't well packaged. The pasta was so hot the plastic melted (made me a little worried). One pizza box was crushed (but thankfully the pizza was fine). But the portion sizes were very nice. COST: Very reasonable. Definitely affordable. Would give them another chance.

Surprise side order of bread

I lived in Campbell for a short time 30 years ago, and Luigi's was my go to place for pizza. Their pizza was scrumptious and they kindly made me personal size pizzas that weren't on the menu. For some reason I haven't been there in ... 30 years. Had the Super Baked Rigatoni delivered tonight. It arrived piping hot and was so delicious. I really liked the Italian sausage on top and the penne inside. It was very filling, so I saved half for tomorrow. They included bread with my order, which was a nice surprise. The bread was soft and chewy, but it didn't have any butter or garlic on it. Just plain bread. If it was supposed to be garlic bread, I couldn't taste it. I'd like to go back to the restaurant someday and see if it still looks like it did 30 years ago and try more of their pasta.

Not going to lie this pizza place was fantastic. I had no idea it was even here until a friend took me! Writing this review is making me hungry for their pizza all over again. Definitely coming back to try something new.

Ron P.

Very yummy!! Visited w the best company and found a pretty casual looking italian diner. We ordered a mushroom pesto pizza, baked rigatoni, and linguini with vodka sauce and they were all so great!

Menu as of 12/2/21

I haven't had Luigi's for a while since it's a far drive for me, but I was craving the chicken pesto pasta. When I called to place the order, I was disappointed to learn that the mushrooms are no longer included ($2 extra). It's no longer worth the drive for me.

Baked Rigatoni
Tam N.

A homey and authentic casual Italian restaurant. I love trying new pasta places; came across this one while browsing on Yelp and it didn't disappoint. You order at a counter before sitting down, and our food was brought to us fairly quickly. The restaurant isn't a fancy one. I came at a quiet time but I can imagine it being lively and a fun casual dinner spot for friends or family. I ordered the sausage and chicken linguine with vodka sauce, and it was pretty good. The chicken and sauce could be more flavorful, but I still enjoyed it. My partner ordered the baked rigatoni and enjoyed it as well. I would say the pastas are nothing out of this world, but they were comforting and simple. I really enjoyed the garlic bread, I'd say that was my favorite part of the meal. Prices aren't cheap (somewhere around $20 per dish?) but the portions are decent-sized. I'd love to come back again to try other pastas and the pizzas!

Sausage and Chicken Linguine with Vodka Sauce
Marlette C.

This review is for their Sausage and Chicken Linguine with Vodka Sauce. I saw past positive reviews for this dish, so I had high expectations. I was a little disappointed. The sauce and the chicken lacked flavor. Sausage was good though. Serving size was also smaller than other pictures posted. I ordered it to go and ate it at work. I didn't eat much of it, but I took the rest home. I added some heat, salt, and cheese, which made it better.

Camilla T.

Is 5 stars even enough for this place? Seriously! The most vintage, family friendly place ever. We had our son's 16th surprise party here and they exceeded expectations. We rented the private room for 3 hours. It was the perfect size. They helped me a couple days before with determining how much food to order. Everyone LOVED their pizzas and salads! The owners were the friendliest people ever! We felt so welcomed and attended to. Thank you Luigis for everything! Definitely coming back again!

They're attentive and will check in a good amount of times without being invasive to your dinner. The first time I was here, my friend ordered the lasagna and absolutely loved it. I had the pasta with truffles and pesto and I loved it so much I ordered it again. I will order something by else next time! I was apparently influential and everyone at my table ordered the same lol My friends also ordered the pear and bursts salad and we shared the bruschetta both of which we really enjoyed. I was also very happy that they had Hugo Spritz (Aperol is not my thing)! It was a wonderful place to spend dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back and share with my family!

I…read morecan't say enough about the food flavor and the wonderful staff that makes me want to return because of their kind personal touch. We called ahead around 845 to verify our 9pm reservation because we saw they closed at 9:30pm and we wanted to be respectful of their time. Bryan answered the phone and assured us we will have enough time to be seated and served before closing. He was very kind and welcoming so we headed over. We were greeted by Chris and seated immediately in the table that he let us choose. He made thoughtful suggestions on location being by the window, the booth where it was quieter or wherever we wanted because "this place is yours". This is not a typical thing I usually experience when being seated so this stood out to my wife and I. We appreciated this gesture. Once seated he took our drink orders, my wife wanted to try one of the wines before getting a glass so he brought a small sample. Once returning he asked if she wanted to select another or "take this one for a drive". The expression was simple and displayed the thoughtfulness that came from him the entire night. Simply taking time to craft words and be present is something that we noticed and appreciated. We ordered a carbonara and a pasta with prawn. The food came out fairly quickly since we arrived at a time past some of the peak hours. The bread with olive oil and balsamic came out first obviously. The carbonara and prawn pasta was so beautifully plated and presented that we forgot to take a picture for this review. We dug into the food immediately. At this time, maybe a coincidence, I checked my watch to be mindful of the time. At the same time, Kevin walked up to our table to let us know what we are good on time and that, "the back hasn't started the dishes or started cleaning up yet". There were still other parties around at that time. This was another detail that stood out to me. He might have seen me check my watch but to know what I was thinking at that moment and then respond to it is a first for me. This is beyond thoughtful. After a couple more wholesome interactions with Kevin and Chris, we ended up ordering a pannacota. This was the best I have ever had in my life. Kevin stayed for a while to chat while Chris was tending to other tables at the time. I can't say enough about the warmth in this place shown by Bryan, Chris and Kevin. I will definitely return and I want to bring my family there. The food was top tier but the people were what will bring me back.

We tried the bruschetta (which was a special for the day) which was my favorite! The burrata was creamy and perfectly balanced with the sweet tomatoes. I got the penne alla salsicca, which was okay, it was a bit oily with not much sauce besides that. My partner got the spaghetti allo scoglio which was great! I liked the tomato sauce and that it wasn't too fishy from the seafood. Would definitely come again to try other dishes!

The location is pretty convenient, just outside Downtown San Jose, and parking is relatively easy with a decent amount of parking available nearby. One thing that has been consistent every time I've visited is the service. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and attentive without hovering. They're usually nearby when you need something, which makes it a good spot for a work lunch or dinner where you don't want to spend half the meal trying to get someone's attention. It's definitely a little on the pricier side, but I've been happy with the food so far. I haven't had anything here that I thought was bad. On my previous visit, I had the spaghetti carbonara, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. This time I went with the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. It was a solid, comforting plate of pasta, and they finish it off with freshly grated Parmesan, with the amount based on your preference. I also tried the espresso martini this time. It was smooth and enjoyable, although I didn't get much of an alcohol kick from it. If you're looking for something stronger, this probably isn't the drink I'd go with. Portions are decent and the overall atmosphere works well for both business meals and something more casual. I could also see this being a nice option for a date night if you're looking for Italian food in the area. Overall, Palermo has been a reliable choice for me. It's not the cheapest Italian restaurant around, but the combination of good food, attentive service, convenient location, and easy parking makes it a place I'll continue coming back to when I'm in the area.
