   I had heard great things about this restaurant so was intrigued to try it. It was delightful start to finish! It's a small restaurant so it feels more intimate. The menu has plenty of choices but is not extensive. I'm sure that's intentional so that everything they make is done to perfection. The service was also excellent. I had a French 75 cocktail that was very good. We selected the calamari for the appetizer. I am very picky about calamari but it was prepared so well and came with a spicy tomato sauce on the side. My husband and I both chose pasta for our entrees, rigatoni for me in a tomato cream sauce with homemade sausage and a dollop of goat cheese. He went with fettuccini also in a tomato cream sauce with shrimp. We are so lucky that this place is a 10 minute drive from our house. Will be back for sure!

   First time and we had a fantastic dinner. Started with meatballs appetizer. It was flavorful in the sauce. Our dinners were great too. Gnocchi, salmon and chicken sambuca. We will definitely be back.

   Absolutely love this restaurant. If you have not tried it yet, I highly recommend it. The poblano soup is to die for. I crave it constantly. Our entire table loved everything we ate.

   My wife and I have been to Casa Di Luigi numerous times and the food has always been excellent. Unfortunately, on our latest visit, we were a bit disappointed with the food. In the past, their gnocchi has always been delicious little pillows that melt in your mouth. On Saturday night, the gnocchi were more like thick chewy hockey pucks. I’m not sure why things changed, but I urge them to return to the previous recipe.

    As a foodie and a Michelin snob, let me say that the food was amazing! Best Italian in the NW suburbs! Forget the chains! Plus GREAT VALUE. The house made RICOTTA gnocchi were exactly the same as my grandma’s! The Marinara that they were nice enough to make was outstanding. In addition to the traditional dishes there are many innovative dishes : Buffalo mozzarella as a panna cotta Can you send both with a balsamic dressing as well as a pesto and thick cut prosciutto !  The tiramisu served in a mug is dense and creamy with an excellent, balanced taste. The almond semi Alfredo with a semi sweet, flaming chocolate sauce was outstanding. The service was amiable, efficient accomodating and enjoyable. Phenomenal discovery! Best Italian I have had in the Northwest suburbs.
