Casa Luigi in Düsseldorf

We come often and the food is always good, sometimes a bit underseasoned, but we can help with that. Unfortunately, the service is always rather mixed and recently it was so bad that we were really annoyed. We were put under so much pressure to order quickly, plates were cleared just as we had the last bite in our mouths, cards were slapped down: “Do you still want Desert?” The table was taken again from half past eight and you could tell at every corner - at 8:15 p.m. it was said that the other guests were already waiting. We find the €6(!) surcharge that is charged if you want some pasta as a side dish instead of potatoes quite outrageous. I can understand this with a higher quality side dish, but with two or three forks of pasta that you can't find on your plate.

We were at Casa Luigi yesterday and were incredibly disappointed. We cannot understand the good reviews in any way. The service is a disaster, full of incomprehension, half of the orders are forgotten and when you order a tea you are actually laughed at. The staff then makes fun of it, so that the guest is more likely to be denounced with malice for having tea instead of wine. In addition, the food was more middle class. It was okay, but rather run-of-the-mill and unimaginative, but the price was rather higher and therefore not justified. If you can, please go somewhere else.

Very, very nice service. I just loved eating in a normal restaurant again where everything felt so familiar. My pasta was amazing and the tiramisu blew us away. She made the conditions herself, is she also Luisa? It was very tasty, personally too much for me, so the piece or too big, but this is not a criticism. Because it's better to have too much than too little. I went home full and that's the most important thing!

Now I can really understand the many positive reviews and can praise this restaurant with all my heart. The food is excellent, the service is friendly and attentive, and the ambience has a lovely, traditional feel. The two of us ate there and were amazed by the taste of the panzerotti and the accompanying tomato sauce, one of the best I've ever tasted! Despite the full house, we still managed to get a table without a reservation, which pleasantly surprised us. There is something special about the entire atmosphere that really impressed me. I'm looking forward to eating there again next week!

My wife cried because of the bad pasta, but my liver was very good. The prices are outrageous and the portions do not match the price. The place is very noisy and all the tables are too close to each other

Finally really authentic Italian food. Perfect and absolutely recommended! Thank you for the lovely evening.

We went there last Valentine's Day and it was a great experience. The quality of our dishes was excellent and definitely recommended. The ambience was very romantic and perfect for the occasion.

Food overpriced for quality and service was unfriendly. €100 extra came on the bill for table of 6 (Zwischen Rechnung) for wine, starters and mains we didn't have, no apology at all and brought a new bill, business as normal!

This restaurant has now become our favourite Italian place in Düsseldorf. Yes, it is a bit pricey but the food is really great. The service is also super friendly.

Delicious again! Highly recommended!

If your food arrives within 40 minutes of sitting down (that includes time to decide what you want!), you know you've picked a good restaurant. Even during the busy week of the boot fair, they were kind enough to find a table for us (just two people) even though we didn't have a reservation. We definitely recommend it!

Dueños amables. Personal atento. Gran ambiente. Absolutamente deliciosa comida... la pasta es probablemente la mejor pasta que hemos comido. Una maravillosa sorpresa inesperada y sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Düsseldorf.

The meat was fabulous. The service was good and the portions were good.

The atmosphere is very nice and cozy. Despite the restaurant being full, the food came very quickly and was extremely tasty. Unfortunately, the service was a bit inattentive, which unfortunately does not meet the standard of the restaurant. However, I think this was due to the fact that we were there on Saturday evening, the week of the BOOT trade fair. This means an exceptional situation for the catering industry.

We stopped by for a light dinner so we ordered antipasti. The tuna tartar came with very little sauce and large pieces of tuna and no bread. We asked for another bread basket but this was not enough for the three of us so we asked for another and we were willing to pay for it of course. They told us they had no more bread, and the bread they had needed to be saved for the new guests. I have given feedback about the tartare dish to both waiters and I felt not listened to. They both replied that the tuna tartare always is done like this and that we already had two baskets of bread. The irony is that my friend has been last year there and the tartare was with more sauce, tomatoes and cut in much smaller pieces. This was not acknowledged by the waiters. Overall we were dissatisfied with the food and the service. The prices are also very high.

Messezeit in Düsseldorf, ohne Reservation nach einem Tisch für 2 gefragt und man hat sich sofort bemüht und trotz voller Hütte einen Tisch für halt "nur" knapp 2h bekommen. Bei Luigi gibt es keine Pizzen, aber man merkt mit jedem Bissen dass hier mit Liebe und Leidenschaft und frischen Zutaten richtig gut gekocht wird. Top. Das Gemüse richtig knackig und doch nicht "hart", das Fleisch perfekt auf dem Punkt gegart, die Kartoffeln genau richtig angebraten, genau richtig gewürzt, wirklich einfach nichts zu meckern, auf was für einem Niveau auch immer.. Vicor Ego, der bitterböse Kritiker aus Pixars "Ratatouille" hätte es genüsslich hinuntergeschluckt und wäre wiedergekommen. Wir tun das vielleicht auch noch, wir bleiben noch ein paar Tage an der Boot25. Ambiente und "italienità" sind so wie es sein soll, die Preise sind etwa so wie bei uns in Zürich, also für Deutschland richtig teuer. Für uns "normal", mehr kann ich dazu nicht sagen da mir der Vergleich fehlt. Wer frisches, leckeres Essen ebenso liebt wie wir, der sollte bei Luigi einen Tisch reservieren und sich von den netten Menschen vor und hinter der Küchentheke verwähnen lassen. Reservation sehr empfehlenswert!

The food was very tasty, but the table reserved for three people was extremely small and we sat very tightly. The noise level was very high because the restaurant was completely full, so it was hardly possible to have a conversation. I know that it can be loud in a full restaurant. However, that doesn't put the small table into perspective. The table would have been ok for a maximum of two people.

Portion très généreuse mais ai niveau cuisine c’est le minimum syndical… on est très loin de l’Italie. Il ne faut pas toujours suivre les recommandations d’un hôtel !

Everything is very tasty. We spent a pleasant family evening. Thanks a lot.

On October 23, 2024, my father & I had lunch at Casa Luigi in Düsseldorf - and it was simply great! We were lucky to get the last free table because the restaurant was completely full, which speaks for itself. The atmosphere was lively and warm, exactly what you would expect from an authentic Italian restaurant. Despite the full house, the service was super attentive and friendly. We immediately felt welcome. I ordered the truffle pasta, and that was a real highlight. It was tossed in a large cheese wheel directly at the table and then served - a really great experience! The smell of the fresh truffles and the creamy cheese taste were simply amazing. My father was also thrilled with his dish. For a full restaurant, everything ran smoothly - from the service to the quality of the food. You can tell that people cook with passion here. We'll definitely be back! 😊

Very poor food quality. The dish with the veal pieces was completely tasteless. In the seafood spaghetti, the oysters were stale. Small portions and very expensive. To be avoided. You can go to much better restaurants in Dusseldorf, such as uerige (in berger strasse) or at ble Greek restobar (on Bismarckstraße)

Very courteous service. The veal liver was super tender!

Four of us were here to visit a trade fair. The atmosphere is very cozy and the service is really top! The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. We would love to come back. Absolute recommendation!

We ate at Casa Luigi from the company. I have to say, I haven't eaten this well in a very long time. Every component of every dish was simply on point and incredibly tasty. Price-performance is right! And the service - Very attentive, very friendly and polite and always ready to joke. A great experience and an overall incredibly lovely evening! Thank you!

I can only recommend it, cozy atmosphere, perfect service and most importantly, good quality food. Always my pleasure. Since it is often full on weekends, you should reserve in advance or call to see if there is still a table available.

Arrived extra far and with the doors closed, thank you for a great evening

Always very happy with everything. A great Italian!

Good food, warm welcome, nice people.

Descent food but guys what are you doing with a well known traditional Italian restaurant with that kind of rough manners and bad service??!! We were there to spend more money and to have a good time and you spoil our Xmas party with your bad vibes… turning off the lights and the music on an early stage of a Saturday evening! No way! Never ever!!! 2 service stars goes only to the first ladies who welcome us….

The truffle pasta is really delicious! Furthermore, many things were already gone from the menu, which is a shame. There was also no more pizza. It might be a good idea to mention this in advance when you make a reservation. Furthermore, nice atmosphere in the restaurant/wine bar. Good service.

We were there on a Saturday and had our Christmas party there, which we were really looking forward to! The food was also delicious and the lady who served us at the beginning was really nice, hence the 1 star I gave it! Afterwards we were served by a slightly younger man who had no interest at all and didn't feel like it at all and made us feel it too! We reserved our table at 8:30 p.m. and got it at 8:50 p.m. At 10:30 p.m. we were basically “kicked out”, the music was turned off and people were rude when we asked for drinks! On a Saturday at 10:30 p.m. the music is turned off?!? If the store is open until midnight, excuse me?! The chefs were all already standing in front of us with their jackets on?! We were made to feel that we were unwanted, none of us had experienced anything like that before. We were really looking forward to our Christmas party with our small team, but unfortunately it was ruined by the waiter in the end. If you leave €500 you expect more. That was simply said: “Eat and go!”

The food is very good here. Even though the restaurant isn't that big, it's very noisy and in order to have a conversation in a larger group you have to shout at each other. The service was very friendly and accommodating, but we had 3 incorrect orders. Was a bit much.

Food was completely OK but unfortunately the price/performance ratio wasn't right.

The best Italian restaurant I've ever been to! The truffle pasta is worth the hype. The taste is simply outstanding! Serving it in a parmesan wheel is also a rare but even more beautiful experience. The restaurant is rightly fully booked. Very important to reserve before a visit!! The white wine was also perfectly selected by the waitress and the ambience was authentically Italian. Unfortunately you have to be content with the fact that the restaurant is quite full and therefore there is a certain amount of noise, but it's worth it!! Definitely come back!

Very tasty and super nice atmosphere!

Delicious to fall in love with. Great service, delicious food. I don't have to say more. Please reserve. It's worth it.

We ate here with 6 people and everyone loved it. For dinner we ordered gnocci with shrimps, a guinea fowl with potatoes and vegetables and linguine in cheese sauce. We really enjoyed everything and with a glass of wine it was perfect. The food was great and the service too.

Were there for lunch. Unfortunately, pasta Bolognese didn't taste like anything. Almost 20€ for that! ;)Service and friendliness are now rather reserved. Typical Spensenritter restaurant.

Order the famous truffle pasta. It is alright but not impressive, overall overpriced.

Super tasty food, fast and friendly service, nice atmosphere. Super tasty and completely reasonable in price!

In short: Highly recommended! Everything tasted good! Incredibly delicious!

Super lovely staff and great service! The food is really excellent and there are always new seasonal dishes. My family and I always enjoy eating here :)

Super delicious! Great Italian. I like to be here often!

Highly recommended! We happened to walk past the restaurant in the evening and spontaneously got space for 4 without a reservation. The restaurant was well attended. The food and service was very good. Very familiar. If we're nearby, we'd be happy to come back!

One star deducted because it is very narrow and the volume is so high that you can hardly hold a conversation, but the food and drink were excellent.

I love this place Pure Italian And I like your service , you Made our night Best vitello Tonnato ever

Truly Italian restaurant. I come here once a year with clients and I've always made a good impression. The owner is always friendly, the chef is Italian, waiters are Italian. Nothing to say, and I honestly don't understand some of the negative reviews.

Really delicious pasta! The price also reflects that, so be aware of that. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. However, for us, pasta was not made in cheese in front of us, but simply served with the sauce already on it. Recommended!

Really incredibly good Italian. The truffle pasta is always highly recommended. Last time we ordered Saltimbocca, it was a dream. Prices not cheap but reasonable. The service attentive and pleasant.

One of Dusseldorf's EXCELLENT RESTAURANTS

Super Küche! Kann ich nur empfehlen! Waren zu dritt hier und alle drei Gerichte waren absolut spitze! Obwohl nicht reserviert haben wir spontan einen Tisch bekommen.

Delicious !!! Pizza and pasta bolognesa are spectacular !!! ❤️❤️❤️

I was totally unhappy with their service and the price which in my opinion is not worth the quality, when I entered they told me I can stay only for one hour, the greeting was not so friendly from the beginning, and the truffle pasta was very average and lacked enough truffle in it, in other places I got much better truffle pasta with half this price! Then after the food I had to wait alot for my dessrt and even noticed one of the staff about it but it still took them long to bring it to my table, generally speaking, I fond this restaurant average and I'm not interested in visiting it anymore.

Very tasty food, nice staff and a great location for a restaurant right in the city center.

Buon lavoro. Cibo buonissomo Guter Service, gutes Essen Service est gentil et une cuisine excellente ................

I ate a delicious pasta and drank a white wine. The service was good, it took a little longer but the waiters kindly kept my forgotten bag. I would visit the restaurant again.

Lovely place - great food - fantastic patio Can be highly recommended. Remember to book a table - they are very busy - and the service was almost rushed - it was a bit stressful to watch - but never mind - the food was top notch and they were very friendly ❤️

Great, no pizza - thank you very much ☹️

Authentic Italian cuisine with friendly service in a rustic atmosphere in the pretty courtyard. Reservation recommended.

Leonardo, Nello and Isodora are great! Very good restaurant!

Very great Italian restaurant in Düsseldorf... the inner courtyard is a dream!

Honestly, try the truffles first and there is no serious mistake

Very nice atmosphere, very nice service and really delicious cuisine. Not for people who prefer quick, inexpensive cuisine, but a perfect location for a cozy evening for two or with friends. Yummy

Totally nice atmosphere, especially in summer you can sit in the green courtyard. The service is very friendly and accommodating, but the order took a little longer and the tables that were there after us were given priority Food was good.

The gnocchi was not worth the whooping price of 26,90€! It was overcooked and bland. The other dishes were also below average. 190€(exl. Tip)for three ppl dinner, 3 appetizers, 3 pasta dishes, 1 red wine(no vintage or anything) and 1 water. Not worthit.

Very attentive service, good Italian food and beautiful terrace.

We were in Dusseldorf for a bachelorette party (Taylor Swift Concert) my daughter attended 4 weeks ago and the bride to be insisted she take us to Luigi’s. She knew I would like the tagliatelle with truffle sauce so we ordered several entrees. The tagliatelle was to die for! It was excellent as was my wife’s gnocchi! I’m a cook and former restaurant owner who probably loves food too much! We’ve travelled around the Italian boot 4 times but never experienced the excellence of this dish! The truffle sauce was beyond amazing! We ended up traveling around a few weeks before the wedding, but upon our return went back to Luigi’s. We tried to get in for lunch but reservations are required, so made them for the next day. The second time around was just as wonderful. This is a professionally run business and the service, ambiance, staff, wine list, etc are superb!!!

One of the best Italians in Düsseldorf. Good service, good food and good wines. I've enjoyed going there for years. The carpaccio as a starter and the tiramisu as a dessert are definitely recommended…

Very poor made overpriced food. It’s salt and without any special taste. Friendly service.

The service at Casa Luigi is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual and warm. It offers authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant setting. I had the dish Polipo - definitely not enough for those very hungry but perfect for those looking for a tasty but not heavy meal.

Tartufo pasta my highlight..😍 Mamma mia..

Authentic Italian cuisine TOP! Be sure to reserve!

Very nice restaurant with just as nice people and a huge understanding of service and quality of the food.

Amazing!!!! Highly recommend the truffle pasta. Top food and service 😍

Unfortunately very arrogant staff.

Nice owner, cozy place, food was average

Super delicious food! Highly recommended!

Great service and delicious pizza 🍕. Very fresh and quickly prepared. We'd love to come back. A perfect spot for a little time out in the backyard with delicious food and nice service. Grazieee millleeee 💥💥💥💥💥☀️☀️☀️☀️🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Here I tried the first spaghetti of my life. Everything before that was just a pasta dish with sauce.

Very good typical Italian cuisine. Always worth a visit. The food can't be beat.

Delicious meal, italian cuisine, nice quiet place with beautiful italian atmosphere in the citycentre. Friendly staff, recommend to visit👍

pessimo . maleducati ma soppratutto materie prime scadenti ....prezzi eccesivi ci siamop ritrovati un topolini vicino al tavolo con delle trappole messe dal proprietario

An authentic Italian vibe in the heart of Germany. Tasty food at moderate prices, and with a little bit of traditional Italian fuss and rumble.

Very good Italian restaurant, unfortunately no pizza anymore. But in terms of taste, I really recommend it.

I like the restaurant and the food but.....the owner is an extremely rude and entitled person, I called to book for a birthday reservation for 12 people (that we have already discussed the day before), while trying to ask for some basic information about the dinner arrangements he told me "I am busy, I don't care, do not come at all. we are full anyway I don't need you there. Don't come go somewhere else." I'm writing this in Italian so you understand better, your business is called Hospitality, don't forget it. You were rude and rude. Maybe the restaurant is doing well now, but if you treat your customers like this at some point you will pay the consequences.

Excellent Italian food. Would definitely come back again!

There for a business lunch during the week. Nice menu, fine cuisine, but even the little things were right (e.g. extremely good olive oil and super crusty bread). Service friendly and at a good pace. Tables are a little cramped, so for a confidential conversation you should ask for a position at the edge/corner.

A truly Italian restaurant, truly delicious homemade pasta, very professional and friendly staff, nice setting near the historic center

Really excellent food. Each dish was great. Highly enjoyable. Top notch.

Contrast program at Casa Luigi Excellent service with a charming waiter with the talents of an actor! But that couldn't hide the bad risotto and vitello tonnato. Unfortunately! And that doesn't match the asking price and previous reviews. Very unfortunate...

The charming service was overshadowed by the poor food. This was the worst risotto I have ever eaten. Luckily the portion was small.

Un sitio genial y un servicio fantástico. La pasta estaba exquisita. Relación precio -calidad muy buena. Volveré si regreso a Dusseldorf.

A charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Dusseldorf. Leo attended us, friendly and very attentive. The exquisite food.

The food was really delicious and the service was quite good, but the employees didn't coordinate with each other and so our wine glasses were refilled by different people every 2 minutes.

Everything was very good. Authentic cuisine and good portions. Staff was very friendly. Thank you for the lovely evening !

Casa Luigi is our happy place. I can honestly say after apprx 15 visits (maybe more) the taste, service are all the same. My husband always eats the same thing because he is not that adventurous and we receive always the same taste and excellent service. Thank you Casa Luigi when we are there we always feel -in a little bit crowded- home ♥️ tartufatti and lambchops are divine 🎉

Very good Italian cuisine and great service! Leo was a great waiter!

Super delicious food. We had homemade ravioli and penne with veal meatballs. Nice service and a nice Italian ambience in the cute courtyard.

Recebemos a indicação no hotel. A condia etapa a simplesmente divina! Comemoramos aniversário e nos deram uma sobremesa com vela e limoncello. Vale a pena conhecer

Unfortunately not what I expected. The pasta with Bolognese was okay. The espresso afterwards was more like half an espresso. Staff is attentive but a bit “too attentive”. You get the feeling that you don't really have time to eat.
