Growing from an original modest Waymouth Street bistro, to now including a funky speakeasy cellar & bar; we do our very best to combine comfort food with an exciting selection of drinks.

CHILLY conditions are forecast this weekend with the chance of snow in the Hills. Delicatessen made it into the list of 25 of the best places in Adelaide to head for a hearty, belly-warming meal.

For as long as I can remember, it has always been a dream of mine to open my own little cafe. I was born in Naples, Italy, so food, wine, people and family were an everyday affair and it was always as I describe it like “the theatre of food”. Where each and every meal was made with love and everyone would come together to eat, talk, laugh and share the givings of the day. So it’s in my blood and I am so glad that it is.

Luigi’s to me, is an extension of my home and my customers are an extension of my family – I am honoured everytime somebody walks through our doors.

I believe in offering not just amazing food and coffee but first class service with a smile and genuinely caring our customers.

Food made with love reaches the soul and moves you like nothing else can. Pure love is transmitted.

We have never had a menu as such, we cook whatever is in season and what’s good at the time with our focus on Home Made Pasta, the freshest seafood, classic meat dishes and always catering for vegetarians and vegans. With our healthy range of fresh produce – this becomes easy.

For example our home made gnocchi with porcini mushrooms and truffle paste. Our delicious house rolled spaghetti with our signature blue swimmer crab sauce.

Over the years, we developed a style of serving our food on boards to share with your friends and loved ones…

This unique dine in experience is designed to always keep you guessing and enhance the service

Having moved into the Adelaide CBD seven months ago, Luigi's has become my regular haunt. I visit almost daily for coffee, often with a serve of the tempting 'crostoli' (deep-fried pasta dough with icing sugar scattered on them), a delicacy I normally associate with 'Carnevale' in Rome where I lived for several years.

I also pop in quite frequently for 'minestra del giorno' with bread freshly made on site, which I take home for my working lunch. The soups are simple and straight-forward and invariably taste delicious, my favourite being the cream of tomato which has a secret ingredient the chef won't reveal.

My wife and I have frequently had meals at Luigi's - Sunday breakfast/brunch and dinners, and we have never been disappointed. We are happy to be guided by the staff - or Luigi himself - in our choice of food, and we have never been disappointed. The antipasto is almost certainly the 'piece de resistance' (what's that in Italian?), the over-flowing platter (to share) being voluminous and varied.

We have attended two celebratory dinners in a large group, and have been amazed by the quality and quantity of the serves and the ability of the chef, Giovanni, and his team to deliver to every table at virtually the same time.

'Friday Night Live' is a recent innovation at Luigi's, with very pleasant (not too loud) music provided by various performers, including Kim who is also a local.

Apart from the quality of the food and the sensible wine list, what stands out for me is the team of superb staff that Luigi has gathered round him and his sister Sonia who regularly oversees the smooth running of the cafe/restaurant. It is unfair to single out individual staff members, but I must commend Josh and Dominic, who are ever- attentive in their role as waiters and the highly professional barista behind the bar - "Call me Jewel", he laughingly advises because his actual name is almost unpronounceable.

Along with other outstanding restaurants in the CBD, Luigi provided a much-valued home delivery service during the pandemic lockdown of restaurants. He continues to provide such a service, which is handy if you want to host a dinner party without admitting you did not actually cook the superb meal.
