I honestly cannot urge anyone enough to choose this place (Luigis at the Griffin) if they are looking to celebrate a special occasion. I booked here for my Mums surprise 60th Birthday Meal, there were 16 of us and from start (initial booking) to 11:45pm when we left on the night of 29th March we were amazed!! We did a pre order for each of the meals as it was a large group booking and each person was handed their chosen food personally by name, it all came out at the same time (we really were SO impressed and do not know how they pulled it off) it ran like clockwork. I also took many, many decorations to the restaurant the night before and left many notes asking to set table according to a seating plan etc and when I arrived it was set out exactly as I asked for it to be set out (they even called me on the day to say it was all ready) I was absolutely amazed at the team on the night, one of the waiters was called Melissa, then there were another 2 men who were also working alongside the lady Melissa and they were a dream team. I asked for my Mums tea to be brought out in a special mug I had made and they did it for me, I also wanted to wait to do Birthday cake because we wanted to watch Mum open some gifts and even though it was getting late, they never rushed us AT ALL, they said we can do the cake anytime we wanted and we felt such at ease and relaxed the whole time. Nothing was too much bother, everything was SPOT ON and as for the food, it was honestly the BEST pizza we have tasted!!! Every guest commented on the food and my 90 year old Nan said the team made it for us and she has had many celebrations in her time. I feel I have found a hidden gem for life with this restaurant. My Mum who had the surprise celebration for her 60th cannot wait to come back and neither can I or my brothers. I honestly don’t know what to do or say to thank them for making our night one to remember forever. You all made my Mums birthday and for that I will be forever grateful. Cant wait to come back soon, am already craving the taste of the delicious pizza. Thank you so SO much to you all!

We had dinner at Luigi's last night, and all I can say is WOW. We dined in one of the pods in the garden what was a magical experience in itself! As we had 3 young children the pod made the meal very relaxing for us as we knew they couldn't wonder off or disturbed any over diners.When it comes to the food what can I say! It comes in quality and quantity which is very rare these days. Every dish we had was absolutely delicious! You could taste the freshness throughout. We will definitely be returning.Thank you for a wonderful evening to everyone at Luigi's

My friend and I visited Luigi's last night, we both thoroughly enjoyed our dishes of lobster linguine & spaghetti bolognese all washed down with a superb bottle of Chianti. Price was £65 for two which we found very reasonable for the quality of the food and wine. The restaurant was busy & buzzy so a lovely warm atmosphere on a miserable Tuesday night. Staff very pleasant too. Can't wait to go back to work our way through more of the gorgeous menu.

It’s ok - but haven’t made my mind up quite yet. on my first visit it was quite below average , so I went a second time - it was slightly better. I might try the 3rd visit - hopefully it will get to 5 stars ??
