    Came to Luigi's specifically for their Sunday Brunch all you can eat Buffet. Can't think of another place in Santa Rosa offering a breakfast buffet. I've never been to Luigi's before though I know it's been there for many years. For the brunch buffet they had a variety of eggs, pancakes, French toast, waffles, potatoes, breakfast burritos, rice, beans, bacon, sausage, Mexican meats, fresh fruit, and parfaits. I arrived at the start of the buffet so the line was full and fresh. It was neatly laid out on the front counter bar. If you like options and all you can eat it is satisfactory. It was $22, almost the same cost of a breakfast plate elsewhere. Beverages are not included. It would be great if they had some pastry options (muffins/danish) or a couple sweets to complete the buffet experience. Service was quick and friendly. It doesn't seem that their brunch buffet is widely advertised as it wasn't very busy during my visit.

    Went to dinner here by myself on a whim. The place has been there half my life and I've only eaten there once. Waitress was less the friendly, I ordered a bacon burger well done and asked for the fries to also be well done. I got a burger that was medium rare and the fries were barely cooked. The yelp description said "large servings and affordable". That was from 9 years ago just like the menu on yelp is. The new description should be small servings, high price, meh service It's always a rub when you don't get what you asked for and when the vibe is one that it's u comfortable to say anything about it. I ate the burger and fries and left the waitress a generous tip, I hope it made her feel like she should treat the next guy like me with a little more courtesy. I did like that the Futbol championship game was on one tv and the 9ers was on the other.

    Fried Chicken was good. But unfortunately the chicken parm was beyond abysmal. Tasted like canned sauce with little to no salt or seasoning.

    We have been coming here periodically and still the place remains consistently good with little change in quality. Overall, everything in my original review from 2018 is still true. The coffee is basic and mediocre but not bad or acrid. The corned beef hash is consistently just the same and as great as before and remains a go-to here for us. Recently, we also got waffles with strawberries, etc., and they were good, not outstanding, but good, basic waffles with nothing wrong and quite satisfying. 3.5 stars. Toast is still nicely buttered in our experience. Buttermilk pancakes we got recently, after a long hiatus, were perhaps not quite up to ones I'd had here before but still good. maybe 3.5. Service is fine. Again, we have only ever been here for breakfast. Prices have gone up but are still comparatively low.

    Bad meat

    I have always loved Luigi's Liver and Onions. Tonight I ordered it plus Zucchini Sticks. The Zucchini and the Liver and Onions smelled funny. I ate a few Zucchini sticks and they just did not taste right. My stomach is churning. The liver was green. Wish I could post a photo.

    Thank you team for having such a welcoming environment. My son Henry and I went to Luigi's today as I used to go when I was his age. The customer service is top notch and the food is amazing. We both had the breakfast buffet and everything was fresh. We will be back

    I had a Mexican style breakfast. Service was quick and friendly. Food was fresh and well organized. Prices very fair.

    Spanish Omelet with crispy home fries on the side - DELICIOUS.

Once we got there, the table was ready and set for us. We all had waters and extra for the table to refill our glasses. Our waitress was so kind and she was very quick. Everyone's food came out in a pretty timely manner and everyone cleared their plates. I tried the Americana coffee and the menu showed that the syrup was made in house. I really enjoyed it as it wasn't a super sweet taste. After all of the heaviness from the weekend I went with the simple potato and eggs breakfast. It also came with a piece of sourdough toast. Eggs over easy and home fries. I also added 2 chicken sausage patties. The sausage was great and not too salty and the eggs were perfect. Our waitress noticed we were all dressed up and asked what we were celebrating and when we told her it was a bachelorette party she was struck up a conversation with the bride and even gave her a free cookie to take home. Things to note. Is located in a downtown area so only street parking but it's free on Sunday. The restroom is not located in the restaurant and requires a code which can be found in the restaurant displayed on a sign. Large parties automatically include gratuity.

I also ordered the hard ice coffee, but something got lost in the translation I guess because I received just an iced coffee and there wasn't an opportunity to rectify that, and I didn't know it was lite on the alcohol or no alcohol until I got the bill. When my food was delivered it was rather quickly, and I never saw my waiter again. I was alone for brunch in this cute restaurant, it was a busy day on Labor Day weekend, and they did put me at the bar, but I was near a POS entry system. Food, definitely come back. Service, three strikes.

On the wall was a chalkboard with the list of local farmers and vendors that they used to supply their restaurant. I loved how fresh and flavorful all the food was, but I loved their collaboration with small local business owners to provide them with things like eggs and dairy. I had an omelette with spinach, caramelized, tomatoes, chicken sausage, and goat cheese. This was one of the most delicious bites I've had at a breakfast spot in a long time. We also shared an order of beignets that came with some fresh apple butter, which was to die for! It felt like taking a bit off fall weather if that makes sense. My boyfriend had some biscuits and country gravy with a side of sausage and fried eggs. He loved everything that he ate as well. He also had a bloody Mary, which was made with Soju. The flavor and quality was top notch and you hardly missed the vodka from the drink. Our server was very friendly, and he offered some insight into the quality of the Soju and the vendors that they work with. I just really loved the care that this restaurant put into not only service but the food that they're producing.

From the little table we sat at, we turned the chairs so we could face the kitchen area where the chefs were making fresh pizzas instead of staring at the bar tender with her chest hanging out (put them away, you're at work) or stare at the doorway. We weren't overly hungry but wanted to try it. The prices were pretty steep for a beer $12, and the cocktail was VERY expensive $19 after tax. Hubs decided not to order the beer but insisted I try a fancy drink so I decided on the unicorn after recommendation from our waitress. The drink was pleasantly good, not too sour or too sweet, however definitely not worth the price. Then we decided on a small bites, skillet prawns. The wait wasn't too long. We took a bite each and we were so confused at the odd flavor. It tasted like latex gloves and cleaner. Hubs tried a a second small bite of another one and spit it out. We probably shouldn't have stopped. Our waitress was really nice about it and offered to get us a new one or something else or a dessert, but we declined. She ended up taking it off the bill. Maybe skip the drinks and order a pizza.

Made it a day trip from SF during our recent trip to enjoy Russian River and to bring some back on our drive home from SF. The staff is great here, parking is easy in the front or back, and the location is perfect. It can be a bit dark inside, but they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Coming from LA, it's hard to find the value you're getting here If it's your first time here, get the flight. There are two options, but get the one with everything they have available. During our visit, it was 19 tasters for under $30. Not only because it's good value, but don't cheat yourself from trying all their beers while you're here. If you only know them for Pliny or Blind Big, you're missing out. The range of beers and unique flavors is excellent. Take your time and enjoy it all. I was sad I couldn't take home their RND IPA or a couple others they had sold out of in to-go cans. Did end up taking quite a few bottles/cans home to stock our fridge with, Keep it Rollin' and Mind Circus were some new ones with took home and enjoyed. Food was also delicious, we weren't too hungry, but we did get pizza and wings. Both were fresh and full of flavor. Love the kick on the Pliny sauce.

Ambiance - Decent size location. Indoor and outdoor seating. An indoor bar, counter, and table seating. Semi open kitchen. Street metered parking. There is a paid lot/garage in the rear of the building but we got a perfect space right in front so did not need to go to the garage. MAKE sure you feed the meter, I watched people getting tickets!! The meter maids are on foot, so it was not easy to see them coming. It is best to keep your meter fed. Happy hour available for $1 off beers. Many other specials; see my pictures or check out their website. Clean restrooms. Cool art outside the building; see pictures. A small gift shop. Service - Jon did a good job. Patient. And checked up on us often. Price - $40 + generous tip. I think it was a little expensive for what we got. The meal came out to "two" beers and a wrap; really just enough food for one person. But because we are light eaters, it was enough for us. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1997. My goal is to join the line next year for Pliny The Young!!! Wish me luck.
