Smallest restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of dining with. If you are ever in the area, it is well worth your consideration for a dining experience! We had desert as a carry out...WOW!!!

I ordered delivery for myself and my special needs child. They cancelled after an hour and a half of waiting. I will not order from them again, nor go there in person. As for the quality of food, I can not tell, since I never had a chance to try it out. But for me the most important thing about places such as restaurant is how they treat their customers, and these people failed in my eyes.

Best restaurant in Sunnyside!On our first time, a local who probably frquents the place told me that everything here is good. And it was. (fettuccini alfredo emmmmo! Yommiiii)

The food here is authentic and rich! So flavorful and plentiful, even when you order take-out. The place is snug, but makes for a nice intimate meal with a special someone or a solo treat!

Looks like a hole in the wall with only like 10 tables. But the food is just outstanding. Grilled Branzino was as perfect as the Calamari, the Tiramisu and the Panna Cotta. This guy knows his profession! And Jimmy is an outstanding and attentive service.

Zio Luigi is a small gem of a restaurant in the heart of Sunnyside. They have very good fresh pasta and a staff that really cares.

Looks like an unassuming hole in the wall from the outside, but the food is delicious and service is friendly. Try any of the fresh pastas and tiramisu for dessert. Very reasonable prices, and BYOB is an added bonus.

I love your dinner and just discovered your sandwiches and I’m in love. This is a great option for a quick inexpensive lunch in the area
Excellent local Italian diner. Their menu is simple and delicious. We enjoyed their chicken parm, spaghetti and meatballs, walnut salad, and their Caesar salad special. Notably, their Caesar salad was incredibly creamy and one of the best my foodie wife and I have ever had, and we hope they will add it to their permanent menu.

I was skeptical at first walking in, as the place was empty and a bit run down from what I was used to. Decided to give it a try and glad that I did! Ordered the chicken parm and it did not disappoint! Food came out right out of the oven, steaming hot. Our server was also very attentive and accommodating. Upon finishing up, place started getting really packed with local regulars, a few waiting outside. It's BYOB, so make sure to bring your favorite wine!

Oh goodness I love ZIO LUIGI!Besides the fact that the restaurant has my name, which is a honor already, but the food is incredibly delicious!The atmosphere is cozy, like a nice, warm trattoria.The pasta dishes are good portions and they are going to fill you up well.We went to celebrate Woman's Day with my wife and she got the tagliatelle al ragù bolognese and it was divine! It tasted like Italy, it could have been done by my mom!I got the special, which was made with panda cream, green peas and small pieces of cooked prosciutto ham. My mom used to make this recipe with tortellini; it was a filled pasta dish without broth, but cream, ham and peas. I had it with rigatoni and it was amazing; I felt home!Also, rigatoni is the best pasta; they go well with any sauce and if the sauce has chunks of food (like Amatriciana), a rigatoni would catch the chunk and you can enjoy the whole combination of flavors, so... go rigatoni, go!I recently moved in the area and now I know where I will get my Italian food from this moment on: thank you, ZIO LUIGI!
Food is okay, service is meh
Food and service are always great
