Luigi's Gonzales Reviews
The food delicious! We had Lasagna and Calamari Parmigiana. My drink is a refresshing red sangria. The staff and waitress Friendly, Courteous, and Awesome!! The atmosphere needs a little sprucing up though. Will stop me from returning, no. I just may not bring a client to eat there. Our table was quite wobbly and on some of the chairs the cushion were torn and stuffing is coming out. Overall, a great experience!!
My new husband and I came here on our honeymoon. Our waitress was an absolute gem and we had a great time. We loved the ambiance of being in an old bank building and loved that the wine was kept in an old vault. It was a great impromptu little stop along our way!
If your craving Italian food hands down one of the best in the area very good quality food and service at a reasonable price. Wait time is surprisingly not to bad. Highly recommend!
Pricey but the food is worth every penny 👌🏼🔥😋
I really liked it! The ravioli was 🤩 the waitress was soooo nice🥰
Great Waiter, great food, great looks, would take a girl here after a black and white dance.

Update 11-8-22 We visited for a celebration and again no change with the rating, 5 stars with friendly staff, great food and a clean restaurant. Update 4-5-23 We visited the King City food truck that comes from Gonzalez from Luigi's, and it was very tasty and priced well for the amount of food that was ordered. The staff is always polite and cares. King City needs this caliber of food quality and value. We ordered the blackened chicken fettuccine Alfredo family size, and it was perfect. It's nice to have this option closer to where we live, and the business has great moral values not only with food but faith!! Always good food no matter what you order. Friendly staff, and comfortable feeling throughout.
Great place to enjoy a great meal and relax with very comfortable surroundings and very clean and well stocked. The waitresses are exceptional in service and referrals. I love this place and I will return for my next Italian meal soon. As my Grandfather used to say, "Ya can't go wrong there, why it's a real respectable joint"
Our dining experience at Luigi was truly memorable, thanks to our incredible server, Audrianna. From start to finish, she was attentive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Her recommendations were thoughtful, and she made sure everything we needed was taken care of with a smile. Audrianna's warm and friendly demeanor really elevated our evening and made the experience special. If you're looking for a place where the service makes you feel like a valued guest, this is definitely it. We’ll be back, and it’s all because of Audrianna’s exceptional hospitality!
Amazing staff, best catering experience and rave reviews on all the trays of past. Kids and adults alike always love a good pasta. Staff is always helpful and going above and beyond to provide extra service. Fresh quality pasta bread. Garlic bread is the best
Our table wasn’t given the best of service but the waiter apologized and even brought us a little extra wine to apologize! (My local zinfandel was great) Also, wow was the food delicious. We tried a wide variety of foods and was pleased with everything. You definitely need to try their red sauce. Also the price was definitely worth what we got. So full.
Absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. What a special gem this place is! Check it out!
Beautiful building, great ambience, excellent food, terrific staff!! Get the calamari and the Gilroy pizza!!
This place is awesome, always greeted with a smile and seated promptly. The owner, Ben, likes to make his rounds around the restaurant and make everyone feel welcome and special. Now let me tell you about the ribeye sandwich! It's amazing a nice cut of ribeye cooked to your liking served on a toasted roll and a generous amount of fries. This is a must try kind of place, good menu and really good food.
Worth the short drive to Gonzales, CA. Great food, full bar, great wine selection. Owner on site daily.

Above average but not great. Pleasant atmosphere, decent service, OK food. I can appreciate the occasional creativity with spices and flavors that are definitely not Italian but it's the divergence from the elegant simplicity of authentic Italian food that makes the result kind of pedestrian and appealing more to a mainstream Americanized palate. The rather high prices seem more to represent the ambience than the quality or the presentation of the food which is decidedly average It's not bad, just not worth going back

Not a bad little place for the area. I had the Michaelangelo (blackened chicken, Cajun spices, garlic and spicy Alfredo sauce) gnocchi. It was very tasty, although the chicken was a bit dry. However, the biggest drawback was the insane amount of grease in the bowl (see my picture). It would have taken a whole roll of paper towels to soak up the grease in the dish. Did I eat it anyway? Absolutely. It was also a bit small for the price, but not ridiculously so, and the garlic bread pieces were tiny (they were included though so I guess I can't complain). Overall not my favorite, but I might eat there again if I'm in the area.

Poor service, Way too long for pizza to be ready, vegetables on vegetarian pizza adente or still crunchy, and wet underneath. Ask for marinara, twice and no marinara on pizza. Basically tasted like crust with water and crunchy vegetables. Only ate it because I was starving. Really nice family that owns it. Sorry to give a bad review. However, I am definitely going to try something different on the menu, next time. And if I still have a bad experience I may not return. One bad experience does not mean that they're a bad restaurant. The waitress was brand new, the pizza maker was brand new, etc etc. Therefore, I will give them a second chance.
I got my chicken Marsala was cold, another plate received had a hair, my husband's tri-tip sandwich made him sick and tasted old he said overall not a good experience for the amount we paid..the young waitress was nice...u first and last visit 😞

We dined at Luigi's anticipating a great meal, and were very disappointed. The waitress was not very pleasant, the food overpriced and not very good. Pictured is very thickly cut eggplant and traditional lasagne, both were poor examples of Italian food.

Food was gross and cold wings tasted like somthing I could buy at Walmart frozen section. A meatball sub was terrible store bought frozen meatballs with no taste and terrible texture. So glad I didn’t pay with my own money. I had 20$ left of gift card money a available to me but I just left it there will never go back poor excuse for a restaurant do not waste your time
