My sister and I are coeliac and needed gluten free . We were served by Peter C who had a very good knowledge on gluten free items on the menu. We settled for a pasta dish and a cauliflower based pizza. The n17 sauce on the pasta was delicious and the pizza was delightful.

We stopped as we were passing through north to south, between lunch and dinner. My husband ordered a calzone full of meat and I got a fettuccine with broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and shrimp. The menu options are seemingly unlimited, you can mix and match different pizza toppings; same with pastas. The meat in my husband’s calzone was very generous. The sun-dried tomatoes I had were sweet, not too dry and just. The shrimp was very fresh and the broccoli cooked just right. For dessert I had a pumpkin cheesecake and ate the entire thing… Unusual for me, but it was fantastic. Our server was attentive without being annoying. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is on the street. Gonzalez is not busy right now, or else we came at a good time. I give four stars only because the decor is a bit bland. The architectural details in the building are quite nice, but the colors are dated and the baseboards and trim are a little scruffy. It is clean, however. We liked it and will be back next time if we ever return through here.

Such good food! I will venture all the way to Gonzales for this. Best Italian food, fresh, gluten-free options ? ?Thank you guys for keeping the tradition alive ❤️?

Not a bad little place for the area. I had the Michaelangelo (blackened chicken, Cajun spices, garlic and spicy Alfredo sauce) gnocchi. It was very tasty, although the chicken was a bit dry.
However, the biggest drawback was the insane amount of grease in the bowl (see my picture). It would have taken a whole roll of paper towels to soak up the grease in the dish. Did I eat it anyway? Absolutely. It was also a bit small for the price, but not ridiculously so, and the garlic bread pieces were tiny (they were included though so I guess I can't complain). Overall not my favorite, but I might eat there again if I'm in the area.

We dined at Luigi's anticipating a great meal, and were very disappointed. The waitress was not very pleasant, the food overpriced and not very good. Pictured is very thickly cut eggplant and traditional lasagne, both were poor examples of Italian food.
It was too expensive for the amount of food The tray was much smaller, and the price was much higher our food was picked up for us, if we would’ve seen the amount we would have refused the order!!!

Poor service, Way too long for pizza to be ready, vegetables on vegetarian pizza adente or still crunchy, and wet underneath. Ask for marinara, twice and no marinara on pizza. Basically tasted like crust with water and crunchy vegetables. Only ate it because I was starving. Really nice family that owns it. Sorry to give a bad review. However, I am definitely going to try something different on the menu, next time. And if I still have a bad experience I may not return. One bad experience does not mean that they're a bad restaurant. The waitress was brand new, the pizza maker was brand new, etc etc. Therefore, I will give them a second chance.
Worth the short drive to Gonzales, CA.
Great food, full bar, great wine selection. Owner on site daily.
