Good quality Italian food - starters are a little over priced but the Lasagane was first class and filling as a main meal, reasonable value for money, we travelled down by taxi, parking appears to be at a premium but a colleague parked opposite on the road.

The food here is gorgeous and if you go early (between 5-6) you can get any pizza or pasta dish for just £5 at the moment. We have been twice in April alone and had a fabulous experience each time. The pizza here is especially good and tastes just like what we had in Italy - none of this greasy... More

Fantastic Italian meal experience. Four unhurried courses with lots of choices at each stage. Something for everyone but restaurant offered to change any courses to suit us. Atmosphere was wonderful, as was the whole Italian Job Experience at Don Luigi, Formby.

Visited on a Saturday night with friends. The place was busy with a number of parties in. The first thing we noticed was the very intrusive loud ‘background’ music, which coupled with the general hubbub made conversation difficult. Service was also interrupted on a couple of occasions for birthday etc. celebrations, and when this happened, the sound system was cranked... More

Had a late meal here on Saturday night. It was packed out but the service was excellent, as was the food. A special mention must go to the waitress with the short black hair and glasses. I don't know her name but she was extremely efficient and attentive. Well done Don Luigi, you've come along way. No 'extras' on the... More

We had a nightmare evening as we had booked into another restaurant in Formby which I have just given a shocking review to on here so we decided to go to Don Luigi to salvage our evening! The restaurant was full when we arrived and we had not booked but we were shown to the bar by a lovely waitress... More
