Luigi's Mediterranean - Paarl

Eating at this restaurant is sometimes a spiritual experience. The homemade pasta has a special energy, and the meals are carefully crafted with high-quality ingredients. The decor is nice, and the Latin music enhances the dining experience. I am always impressed every time I eat here; it truly is an excellent experience. In my opinion, it is one of the best restaurants in town, and the price-quality ratio is always appreciated.

Great selection of dresses on the menu, as well as great lunch specialties to good trips. my steak and my chips were prepared exactly as I asked. wein prices are also appropriate. will be definitiw next time in couplel.

Waiter not trained. Could not even pronounce some of menu's dishes. We had to point it on menu. Lucky for my family they ordered pizza and not spare ribs. Fries had the taste of amonnia and the ribs not the best I've had. Even Spur's ribs much better. Not sure what made me fork out R270 the next day for medication, but something made me extremely ill. Could not keep the ribs and chips in the same night. Place was empty but still we waited too long for our food. First and last bad experience there. Previous visits not bad, but this one awful.

Good wine and service, but that's where it ends. The first hint should have been the ludicrously large menu (how on earth can any of the ingredients be fresh when you have 150+ items on your menu). Then, if you're going to make your own pasta, make it better than box pasta, not worse. The meat ravioli was flavourless cooked mince (with no garlic, or anything other than mince) in a sauce that was only tomato paste, nothing else. My husband's was even worse, with pasta that must have been hanging in the window for six years it was so hard. If this cost R45 a plate I wouldn't mind, but it costs triple that. Not worthwhile at all.

I had such a wonderful evening at Luigi's restaurant. The hospitality, atmosphere, delicious food, drinks, and attention to detail make Luigi's deserving of 5 stars. I will definitely be recommending this hidden gem to all of my friends. Thank you, Luigi.
