Recently Dec 29th Christmas show 2008, we were treated by our children for a comedy night in Johnston RI at Luigi's. GREAT COMEDY FOR SURE! When it came to the quality of the meal, the soup was good. Then the family size large clear plastic bowl of penne with pre-mixed sauce, which was a cross between plain can of hunts tomato sauce and canned tomato soup! ITALIAN flavored? simmered GRAVY? SAUCE? NOT! OK, bring on the hand prepared veal parmagean, please. What we got was a food service delivered pre made paper thin veal a la viener schnitzel with a pasty, thick coated, corn-meal breaded veal, obviously made earlier a day before, or prefrozen, hardedned edges from long refrigeration. TASTY? NOT! Bland, bland, bland. More of the hunts sauce and tomato soup style sauce/gravy schtick... good for the juvenile palate. Green Beans? GREAT! So, I had soup and greenbeans that were good, and the Christmas Show. Why would they not have a sophisticated tasty meal to go with the very good adult entertainment? Husband's remark: lipstick on glass, meat sent back as meat so hard, it was like cutting through bone. It was fakery at its best, and not high end meal. He felt like he was being fed a kiddie meal. His flatware had to be sent back. BATHROOMS CLEAN...(hooray)... but not a place to come back to, or tell Chef Gordon Ramsey about. Egads, NO ! more

The interior of Luigi's Gourmet Express is a no-frills eatery, but the offerings more than make up for the small often crowded space. Their soups are well-known and are hearty and filling, especially on cold days. Their Chicken Francaise is incomparable; served on focaccia or torpedo rolls, it is a filling lunch or light dinner. They also make a great Chicken Marsala. The desserts are passable; they look tempting in the cases, but are not always fresh. They offer fresh tasty rolls with every purchase; take them! Lunch time seems to be the busiest time; if you're in a rush, call ahead to order take out. And skip the chicken salad - it's not popular and sometimes it tastes old. more
