Real Italian food, no fancy frills but good!
I have been coming to Luigi's for around 20 years and have never left dissatisfied. It's the most reliable moderate budget restaurant in Rio. Excellent Italian restaurant!
Very good restaurant. Only con is the espresso.
Love this place. It is perfect for a Sunday lunch.
Este restaurante italiano é um cantinho aconchegante em Laranjeiras, do lado da Praça São Salvador. É multifacetado em três áreas, com atendimento atencioso e comida de correta execução. Provei a bruschetta tradicional e a pizza vegetariana. Ambos gostosos e bem feitos, sem excessos, mas também sem empolgar em demasia. As massas parecem apetitosas e ficaram para uma próxima oportunidade.
Pizza is good for Italian standards. I also enjoy "eggplant parmigiana" . You can find there a semi-artesanal beer ("Noi") that is quite good.
Luigi's served up the best meal I had during a 2 day stop over in Rio de Janeiro! All the food was amazing, from salads to pizza and pasta to dessert. They also had a great wine and local craft beer selection in bottles.
