Luigi's Italian Restaurant & Bar

Luigi Viola was born in the Puglia region of Italy, in a small town called Alberona. In an effort to keep him out of trouble when he was growing up, his mother sent him to a neighbor's restaurant in neighboring Bari to work from age ten.

Many of the unique, old world specialties offered at Luigi’s are recipes passed down through generations of his family, and on Sundays Luigi can still be found rushing to his mother's house to enjoy homemade pasta, dried sausage, pickled eggplant, and sautéed wild chicory.
