Luigi's Cafe - Monmouthshire

Great choice and great value for money. We had a selection of food and all arrived at the table quickly. Jacket potatoes were excellent value, large portion with loads of toppings. I had a bacon and mushroom baguette, it was full of bacon and mushrooms, very tasty. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant was very clean and tidy.

Excellent service, friendly staff, good food, value for money. Gabriella (the owner) has a photographic memory and whilst it is a year since we last went (whilst on holiday) she remembered our specific choices on the breakfast menu and how we took our coffee; this we saw repeated time and time again with other diners. Gabriella also knows the difficulties of food allergies and food is prepared separately and staff are very ‘clued up’ on the menu.

Lovely Cafe, visited with my family and parents. Food was good and all very reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again.

Aww, God, I really don't want to do this. I have been to Luigi's many times have always found it a perfect cafe with lovely, well cooked meals, and it has always been the go to place for us when we have some spare cash and fancy a meal out. Prices have increased which is completely forgivable and understandable considering the price of everything these days. Higher prices no problems. On Saturday, I had the chicken curry, with rice. The price of this meal was £8.75 and, for that price even with the increased cost of living and with the reputation of Luigi's a decent meal was expected. It was anything but that. It was a microwaved, ready meal. Chicken so chewy, and the texture was terrible. The chicken was cut into rectangles that looked familiar. The texture was familiar. The taste, the awful awful taste, was also familar. Something was bugging me then I realised. This was the exact same taste and as a Sharwood's ready meal I bought from a supermarket for £1.70 a week earlier. It was exactly that. I left incredibly angry, but didn't complain because it's always been a good place to visit. An incredible mark up of £7 for heating food that comes in a box. A meal that comes in at under 500 calories. Usually the meals there are substantial and it would have been my one and only meal that day. Instead, I was cooking an evening meal about 2 hours later, defeating the purpose of me having a meal out. Like I say, I really don't want to give this place a low mark maybe it was an off day, maybe the cook was off work, maybe they are finding things tough financially. Whatever the reason, that was my last visit to Luigi's. Hopefully standards can get back to where they once were, but frankly I won't be taken for a fool twice. I could have literally eaten the exact same meal, in a faster time, at home and saved myself £7 and 20 minutes on the road. I am actually getting angry again as I type this. Cash and profit are clearly important to all businesses, but reputation is what keeps a business going. No doubt someone would eat the same meal and think it was well cooked and good value for money. If anyone does want the same meal, you are welcome to come to my house and I'll charge £3. So sorry Luigi's, but I am really really annoyed.

Was on our way back this morning from Aberaeron was trying to find a gluten-free café that serve breakfast that accommodated our two dogs and came across this great little find food was amazing. Staff were running around doing a great job. Just want to leave you a review keep doing what you do. Regards, HattonS
