I adore this place, I really do. Full Disclosure: If your idea of great Italian food is the fare they serve at Pizza Hut, or if your favorite family restaurant has always been the Olive Garden, this restaurant may disappoint your expectations. But not because Luigi's is disappointing; it'll be because your expectations are. Luigi's serves homey, Little Italy-style dishes that cover the full range of classic Italian-American cuisine. The food is simple, earthy, and satisfying. Everything is cooked to order, so component substitutions are welcome. Any pasta dish, for example, can be served over sauteed or grilled vegetables instead of pasta on request. Alcohol is not served by the restaurant, but patrons are invited to bring their own adult beverages in with them, and the staff is happy to open your wine or Champaign and offers appropriate glassware for each free of charge. Honestly I consider this more of a benefit than a disadvantage, as picking up your own bottle on the way to the restaurant instead of ordering wine by the glass once you get there saves you a small fortune on your dinner bill. I've been visiting Luigi's regularly for three years now, and the service has always, without exception, been wonderful. Luigi's may provide the best dining service in the Southeast Texas region, I kid you not. The staff is friendly and professional. They are also all knowledgeable about the variety of traditional entrees on the menu you may not be familiar with - don't be afraid to ask! Don't be surprised if Luigi's proprietor, Armand, wanders over to your table to personally make sure everything is to your liking. Observing the familiarity he has with so many of his patrons as he flits from table to table has given me the impression that most of Luigi's diners are regular customers. I've come to believe that once people eat at Luigi's once, people will eat at Luigi's often. The menu price points are reasonable for this style of cuisine. It's not a "cheap" restaurant, but the pricing is comparable and competitive with most every other family dining restaurant in the area. Honestly I recommend this restaurant to anybody. Luigi's is probably my favorite restaurant in Orange, if not the whole Golden Triangle. Now that I'm thinking about it, it occurs to me that I'm craving Luigi's Eggplant Parmigiana; I think I'll pay them another visit tomorrow.

The owner of luigis is such a great dude. The slogan is something similar to "when you're here you're family" and he makes ya feel like it too. And if you come back he always seems to remember you. Doesn't matter who you are or how long its been. Had to sing his praises. Great dude. Great food. All around great experience. 10/10.

I ordered their "supreme" pizza. It was delicious. Perfect crust, fresh veggies, generous amount of cheese that was toasted perfectly. Even though I had pizza, some tables in my area ordered other Italian cuisine that looked and smelled delicious. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The waitress and owners were very friendly and accommodating. Next time my travels take me through Orange, I'll be back.

Fantastic Italian restaurant, very wide variety on the menu, love the option of substituting vegetables for the pasta, I got the eggplant parmigiana over mixed veggies and it was delicious, the sauce was perfect not to heavy and not to thin. They serve hot buttered bread, yum! Large portions as well. They were very busy when we got there around 6 pm but they turn tables quickly. You do have to go up to the counter to pay for your meal, so it can take a few minutes to pay your bill. The staff is very friendly and helpful in getting orders in and served! Great experience here!Disclaimer: the gps brought us to an abandoned building that had the Luigi’s sign, I’m guessing that was were they used to be located, the actual building is a little down the road from the old sign
Wow! We stumbled upon this treasure and was not disappointed! Everything looked and tasted fresh. Server was very attentive and helpful. She offered suggestions that didn’t disappoint. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely return!
