Luigi’s Italian Grill

I caught a couple of posts about Luigi’s Italian Grill on Nextdoor.  I didn’t even know it was there.  It’s located far enough off 72 that you won’t see it if you don’t look for it.  Our family was excited about giving it a try so we took a weeknight dinner with a friend and headed over there.   They are a family-owned business serving very good Italian food in Madison.   We went on a Wednesday night and had to wait for about 15 min to be seated.  It was a little confusing because the waiting area is to the left of the door when you walk in but it’s behind a short wall so you don’t see anybody sitting there unless you walk around it and take a peak.  They are understaffed (like every restaurant around here) so they don’t have a dedicated host or hostess but they work very hard and take care of you just like you’d like.  This is a real Italian family as English is not their first language but they are pretty good with it and you won’t have a hard time communicating.  It’s was funny as you could hear the cooks ‘talking’ in the back in Italian and it sounded like they were about to throw down but it’s just the loud Italian accent.  You could see in the kitchen that they were working hard and having a great time with each other.

The Restaurant is located on the corner of Nance Rd and Hwy 72 on the southeast corner.  You’ll need to look off the road to see it in the shopping center with Marco’s pizza.
