Luigi's D' Italia

I spend my money on a Uber eats order from this place for my Italian boyfriend, which I was trying to surprise with some good Italian desserts, but unfortunately we were both disappointed and the quality of the food was not even close to how a Italian restaurant should be. I order 2 cannolis which they were old, not fresh and the cream had a really weird taste. I also order a Tiramisu which came with a weird liquid inside. The tiramisu was a mess, not presentable at all and with a displeasuring taste… The way that you expect a tiramisu to taste was definitely not like that one. If I could, I will definitely give this place a “0” stars. Absolutely never ordering from here again and I will not recommend this place if you’re looking to taste some good dessert that can hopefully remind you at home (Italy).

When you Google Luigi's, you may find some pics of a restaurant with red leather booths that looks very nice so when you get to the actual restaurant, you may be surprised that it is very small and there are no booths. This is because there are still pics of their old location out there but the new location is much smaller and very casual. However, don't let this stop you from giving them a try because the food is still very good and everything is very fresh and the owner will work very hard to make sure you are happy! Be sure to save room for dessert as the cannoli dipped in chocolate chips and the rum cake are delicious!!

This is probably a well kept secret Italian restaurant that people local to the place don’t want you to know about. Because it’s really really good. Nestled in a strip mall next to a grocery store and some other dining establishments you wouldn’t know about it unless you googled or Yelp it. We were over at Brea Mall and the kids wanted Italian food for late lunch/early dinner. So off goes my wife to search for Italian restaurants in the area. We pulled up walked in and it’s pretty no nonsense. There’s about 6 or so tables inside and a few outside, looked at the menu and it wasn’t crazy loaded with dishes which for some can be a problem deciding what to order. Here’s what we ordered 2 adults 3 kids: Kid1: Margherita pizza (small about 4 slices) Kid 2: Italian sub Kid3: linguini with clams in a red sauce Wife: cheese ravioli Me: Italian spicy meat pizza (medium) After we ordered we were given complimentary cheese garlic bread. Amazing, we destroyed it quickly Shortly after, came our order. Portions were generous but not overly abundant as we stuffed ourselves with the garlic bread it was perfect. Wife’s ravioli sauce was spectacular, rich hearty and herbaceous. My wife normally never finishes her entree and usually takes home the rest to eat later, nope not today she cleaned it. Son’s linguini and clams was equally rich and thick full of little clams and you can see chunks of garlic. He powered that down and normally would eat anyone’s food if they couldn’t finish it, not this time he was stuffed. For a 16 yo to say that you know the portions were just good right for that growing boy. Daughter 1 equally finished her pizza and daughter 2 couldn’t finish her sun because of the garlic bread she chowed down prior. My pizza was great as well loaded with slices of Italian sausages and the crust was thin crust (the way I like it). I managed to eat all but two slices which I’m looking forward to eating later. All in all great dining experience and loved the fact that it was a casual sit down restaurant with no frills just good quality Italian food. Local Fullertonites don’t be mad i have to share this great place.

If your idea of Italian food is from a commercialized chain then this place isn’t for you. But if you want Italian, cooked by an Italian, and being served by his wife, then this is your place. This is a family run restaurant, and many of those who have been longtime clients, from their original location, come because we feel like family. And their calamari is the best! Oh and the fettuccine D’Angelo is so yummy. They might take a little longer, but good things are worth the wait. They recently moved to a smaller location in Fullerton. There still some tables and a hi-top to sit in. No wine or beer yet. The menu is smaller as compared to pages and pages before, which is a good thing. We still love Luigi’s!
