We visited Luigi Pasta as a group of six and had such a wonderful dining experience! At first, we were surprised by the no-menu concept, but our server, Cherry, did an amazing job. She memorized everything and explained the dishes in such great detail, which made it really easy to choose. The food was fabulous—especially the garlic bread. I also loved the "runway" presentation. Watching dishes slide down the center of the table was such a fun and interactive touch! The only downside was that we were seated near the alleyway, so some cold air came in, and the food cooled down a bit quickly. Luckily, the overhead heater helped keep us warm. Overall, the staff were wonderful, the atmosphere was lively, and it was such a fun dining experience. I truly enjoyed it and would love to come back!
The food and atmosphere were incredible! Love the idea of a ‘verbal menu’ meaning less decisions to make! However, the one aspect that absolute made our night next level was the staff! Nick and Matt, you made our ‘mums night out’ so much fun! Thank you for sitting with us, laughing with us and keeping us entertained all night long!
Dinner exceeded my expectations! The food (vegetarian for us) was delicious, the service was lovely by Matt, Luigi and everyone else. The live music was the highlight of the night. The piano player is extremely talented, as well as all those who got up to sing! Will definitely be coming back
I had breakfast at Luigi and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for starting the day. Our server, Nick and Davide, was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome. Overall, I highly recommend Luigi for a delicious breakfast and excellent service!!
We went to Luigi Delicatessen as a group of 10 adults. As a larger group, we had to have the feed me menu. The food we had had generous portions for its price and all very delicious. The waitstaff were all really friendly and accommodating. We had a really great catch up dinner there.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! From entree to main the food was exquisite, tasty and authentic. It's so comforting to eat hand-made pasta, compliments to the chef! Antonia! You were such a delight and so friendly. Luigi if you're reading this, let her know she's appreciated. Yes, there is no written menu but i feel it made the experience even more authentic and unique. Giving the waiters and guests an opportunity to actually have a conversation. Is it pricey- yes. But it is hand-made , and original. Even the antipasto you can taste the quality of the prosciutto and mortadella isn't just ordinary. Thank you to the waiters, cooking staff and bartenders for the lovely service.
Visited Luigi Pasta a few days ago and was genuinely intrigued by their no-menu concept — something quite different for Adelaide. My partner and I actually enjoyed the element of surprise and were happy to trust the kitchen. That said, I can understand why some diners may feel uneasy, especially after overhearing a nearby table express discomfort about not knowing prices in advance. A good middle ground might be having a menu available on request or at least a summary of the courses served. We started with garlic bread and arancini, both of which were delicious. Loved the playful "runway" presentation, such a fun and interactive touch as dishes slide down the centre of the table. For mains, we had the beef ragu and steak. The ragu was beautifully done, it was rich, hearty, and packed with flavour and generous with meat. Unfortunately, the steak was a letdown; we ordered it medium rare, but it was overcooked (more like well done). It got sent back and they had a new one made but it was still overcooked. To their credit, the staff handled it professionally and removed it from the bill without issue, which we really appreciated. Service overall was genuine and attentive, and despite the hiccup, we left satisfied. I'd definitely return to give it another go — the pasta alone is worth it!
