The lighting is so cool and ambiancy and I just love the vibe!

Stopped in today for lunch and it was phenomenal. Kim was our waitress and she answered all our…read morequestions and was very attentive. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and ended up asking that she leave the bowl so we could dip into the cheese that it came in. I ordered the baked pasta sampler (lasagna, baked ziti, manicotti) and my husband got the Stromboli. They were both delicious! Sorry no pictures, (phones put away while eating). I got a house salad with my plate, but didn't care for it. It was basically a bowl full of lettuce (2 small cubes of tomato and 2 slivers of purple onion). Would love to come back and try another dish. The restaurant was clean (a little dark) and so were the restrooms.

I'll start with the bad, then finish with the good. Short…read morestory? I'll be back. But... Luigi's Little Italy needs to up their game on fried appetizers. Being our first visit, we tried to sampler so that we could experience 3 of the apps at once. The calamari, mozzarella sticks and "toasted" ravioli all seemed to be fried in the same batter, and the same oil. I would question the quality of the items even before frying.... and the frying didn't help their cause. I ate one bland, not-so-fresh tasting calamari ring, one bite of a mozzarella stick and one bite of the ravioli. The rest of the appetizer went home to the dog. I mean, this place is dated, and this I knew before eating. Which is fine--I think many of us have a need to experience the nostalgia of the Italian restaurants of yesteryear. Rubber grapes hanging from the ceilings, painted images of Italy on the wall. Unchanged from when I was a teenager in Western NY and we would go out for Italian; the decor and menu seem to be the same. But the quality of ingredients needs to be current. We have come to expect better! A lot of Italian places are doing more creative things, with better calamari. Appetizers such as burrata and carpaccio are present on modern Italian menu's. If you are going to stick with the old stuff, it needs to be GREAT. Okay, enough of the negativity. The Chicken Florentine ordered by my companion was very good. The sauce was nice, flavorful, and not too heavy (although perhaps too generous but that's going back to the dated thing). I have a sampler of stuffed pastas, and the red sauce was very much to my liking. A touch of sweet, not too acidic, just the way I like sauce to be. They have a decent wine selection. I didn't try the desserts. I'm quite a cannoli purist...and I hate to be disappointed, so I didn't risk it. Overall--we'll be back. We'll be back for the friendly and consistent service, the generally good food (skip the fried stuff), and the kitschy ambience.

Of course they also sell by the slice as well which is great just for lunch. This place is in the Abilene mall next to Dillard's and Chick-fil-A which might deter some people but don't let it! It almost deterred me but he lack of highly regarded Yelp reviews of other restaurants in the area combined with a craving for pizza one night at the Hilton next door brought me here. I come here almost every trip I make here now. It seems to be a local favorite as wel. The prices can't be beat either, the 18in pepperoni pizza is like $14. Crazy I know, so try it out one day if your around this area. I really don't think you'll regret it. So keep up the great pizza guys! I look forward to coming every time.
