My wife and I must have hit a bad spot. We saw Luigi's while in Newcastle fro a short break, on Tuesday evening September 4th. My wife is a vegetarian, and Italian restaurants usually offer more choice for her and me. Starter was OK, both had potato wedges [a bit greasy and watery sauce]. My wife had some pasta which she said was reasonable. I ordered a Calzone Pizza. The pizza pastry was hard while I really was not sure what was served to me inside for ham. It had a very different texture to any ham I have ever had before, not nice at all. I only ate a mouthful. I was only charged for my starter - fair enough, but then they tried to charge for wine costing £10 + when we had asked for a half litre of house wine, which was priced on their menu at £5.??. They did amend the bill for this when it was pointed out. The atmosphere was not pleasant, obviously problems in the kitchen and a number of dishes coming out wrong etc. [I was facing the kitchen window and could see the staff]. The waiter was pleasant enough but we would never go again.
