Luigi’s Italian Restaurant & Grill Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Like many restaurants in Altus, this is a quirky hometown mom-and-pop locally owned business. My family goes here all the time for the pizza and calzones. There isn't another eatery in Altus that compares to those two items. The older blonde lady, Judy, owns Luigi's and is ALWAYS there. She has a sort of dry sense of humor and most of their wait staff have usually been high school students the past few years. We used to go there every Wednesday after school to eat our calzones and talk with our regular waitress, Dana, who has since moved on to other things. If you're eating at Luigi's to stare at the walls and critique the "authenticity" of the Italian décor then you will be severely disappointed. The atmosphere is outdated to say the least but when I eat there I feel like I'm going back in time and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. On the rare occasion that the fire-place room (for lack of a better word) overlooking the green is open, the atmosphere is much warmer and inviting. It still feels like an older restaurant but with less kitschy, random wall posters and more rock walls. Really good food though!

    Was way too busy to take time for sit down dinner, so I called ahead and got take out. Fantastic! As good as set down, but I got mine to go. Excellent portions. You need to try the meat balls or the cheese cake. Both are excellent.

    Okay went here on a recommendation from a friend. He asked me to pick up a few calzones for him. When I drove up I was thinking " what the heck". The decor is NOT Italian in fact don't know if it has a "decor". I decided to give it a try. There was a group of 8, an older couple and a mom with a kid. The waitress was very nice, took my drink order and had it to me in no time. They offer garlic bread with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette for dipping the bread. Bread was freshly made. I ordered the medium Stromboli with pepperoni, Italian sausage and onions. While I waited (only about 10 minutes) they refreshed my drink and bread. My dinner arrived, I proceeded to devour it. The Stromboli was covered in a garlic butter that was very good. The dough was flaky and well cooked. The cheese was throughout and very good. The pepperoni and sausage was a little sparse but maybe it was just me. I was surprised to see REAL Italian sausage not crumbled up frozen junk that most places pass off. The marinara sauce was good not great just good. The hostess ( owner I think) and waitress checked on me several times but not annoying. The staff was very nice. The price was reasonable. The medium Stromboli was plenty to eat and priced reasonably. I will be going here again and recommending it to others. I grew up in NY on Italian food and this place was surprisingly good. Don't go here for the atmosphere but the decently priced and tasting food. I would go here over Olive Garden any day! That food is just nasty.

    First of all, the ambiance of this place is bizarre. The location is weird (edge of town, next to golf course) and the decor can best be described as Grandma's living room, circa 1970s. Does every restaurant in Altus have a TV in it? All of this would be easy to overlook if the food is good, but my husband and I were not impressed. When we arrived on a Friday evening, there was only one other party in the place. It was a large party of seven adults and four kids, but they were in the process of receiving their food when we arrived. My husband and I each ordered a small calzone, a dinner salad, and an iced tea. Several minutes after we ordered, a party of three came in and placed their orders. Our drinks were brought out fairly quickly and after several minutes, our salads were brought out. They were the saddest, smallest dinner salads I have ever seen: a handful of lettuce and a handful of shredded cheddar on a small saucer, accompanied by a huge squirt bottle of dressing and a bowl of saltines. For this, we paid $2.99 each. Ridiculous. So, we ate our tiny salads and then we waited. And waited. And waited. There were two young female servers and an older blonde woman who appeared to be the manager. All three of them checked on the large party, stood and chatted with them, refilled their drinks, brought them more bread and other things. For nearly 30 minutes, my husband and I were not even acknowledged (neither was the party of three). I know it was nearly 30 minutes because of the TV. There was a sitcom just starting when our salads were brought out, and the end credits were rolling when the older blonde woman seemed to notice us and cleared our salad saucers. She asked us if we had ordered our dinners yet, which was troubling given how long we'd been sitting there. We told her we had and she said we should have had some garlic bread. She said she'd have our server bring us some garlic bread and she'd let the kitchen know that we were finished with our salads, since they wouldn't start making our dinners until after we'd finished our salads. Ummm, what?!? By this point, we were starving and it seemed too late to go somewhere else, so we waited some more. About 15 minutes later (halfway through another sitcom!), the party of three got their food. We were still waiting. Meanwhile, the two servers and the blonde woman were bringing garlic bread and drink refills to the large party. We could have used both, and we never did get any garlic bread. We were about to just walk out when our calzones were finally brought to our table, over an hour since we arrived at the restaurant. Our waitress said the oven had slowed down (huh?), but didn't apologize for our lengthy wait. The crust of my calzone was fresh and hot, but what a disappointment when I cut into it. It was almost entirely crust. Inside was a single piece of pepperoni, a scattering of black olives, a few small slices of mushrooms (I had been offered fresh or canned and had chosen fresh, but these seemed canned), and the barest hint of cheese. The crust WAS tasty, but it was like eating a small loaf of bread. There was just nothing else to it. My husband was similarly disappointed in the lack of substance of his calzone. Adding insult to injury, our total bill was nearly $30 which seems vastly overpriced for the quality/quantity of food we had, and for Altus in general. We won't be going back.

    Let me just start by saying that this is very unlike me to submit a review, let alone for one lousy meal. Normally I would just order my food and if it sucked I would chalk it up as an experience never to be repeated, but in this case I felt obligated to help my fellow Yelpers. I ordered a calzone and 12 chicken wings tonight and it was without a doubt one of the worst mistakes of my take out life. Now I know I'm in Bumville, Butthole, USA, but this food should not be allowed to be consumed by those of us amongst the human race. Apparently this is what passes for food in Bumville. It was bad. Bad, bad. In the same way that Ron Jeremy is well-endowed, these wings are extremely under-endowed. And geez, the taste. I'm willing to bet Ron Jeremy has them beat on taste as well. Both the calzone and the wings made me gag as if I were in one of his films. Please just try this place to see what I mean. I spent $21 dollars on this lousy, repeat, lousy, meal and I really wish I would've burned the money instead for the 4 seconds of warmth that it would've provided. Keep in mind I'm in Bumville where it's 98.6 degrees every day so that's how much value I've placed on the added warmth of burning money. More valuable than this meal. Excuse me while I go paint my porcelain toilet for the 5th time since "Luigi" poisoned me.

    Great calzones. I've been to both the Altus one and the Blair one (just 10 minutes north of Altus) and would say the Blair one has a better (more normal?) atmosphere. The one in Altus is just kind of a weird building, but the food was good at both (both calzones and pizza). Service was exceptional at the one in Blair.

    Great calzone. If you're going for authentic Italian decor...wrong choice. If you want great calzone, give it a try. Everyone else seemed happy with choices as well.

    Great calzones and pizza! Quite over-priced, though. Bad hours and weird location.

    I wish there was a way to give this place NO STARS. We were traveling back from Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite OK to Dallas TX. My coworker and were visiting a client and we were famished when we got done, so we drove down the road attempting to find food. At a last ditch effort, we spot Luigi's by the golf course. The outside looks like it could have been a country club back in the 80's so we decided to give it a try. I had my doubts when walking in. The first room that you enter looks like a church basement, mismatched furniture, an old tube style TV and the musty smell that comes with carpet getting wet. The next room is the dining room. There was a family of 8 with 3 or 4 kids sitting in the corner to the right. One woman in the party yelled for someone in the kitchen to come out. That woman seem surprised to see it. She old us to sit where ever and we picked a table in the middle, but close enough to the old projection TV that we could watch the pyramid game. We walked by the kitchen on our way to the table to see a large, older man sitting on a stool watching some other TV in the kitchen. He reminded me of "Fat Tony" on the Simpsons. The decor is dingy, eclectic and very outdated. We were given menus then left to our own devices for a few minutes. My coworker decides on the stuffed shells and I go for the lunch special lasagna. The server takes our order and goes back to the kitchen then plunks back down at a table by the kitchen to work on the jigsaw puzzle we had disrupted her from earlier. After a few minutes she brought us garlic bread and oil. The bread was more like a crouton. It was hard and dried out. She then brought my coworker the minestrone soup and me a salad. The soup was more like ground beef and vegetable with noodles. My salad consisted of a handful of iceburg lettuce, shredded cheese and entire squirt bottle of dressing. So far we are not impressed and we are starting to wonder if this is just a front for the Oklahoma mob. Our entrees came out pretty quickly, which made me very suspicious, since I know how long it takes to boil noodles. My coworkers shells were not good, the shells were microwaved and the ricotta was grainy. My lasagna was not much better. It was clear my plate had also been microwaved, the cheese had the tell-tale hard overcooked on the side bubbles, while the middle of the lasagna was completely cold. The ricotta inside mine was gritty and had a feeling of sand paper. I attempted to eat a lasagna noodle. It had both the taste and texture of wet cardboard. We then decided this place was either a front for the mob or a money laundering venture. Not wanting to distress the mob boss's wife, we picked apart our food to make it look like we ate more than we did. Then we got our check and high tailed it out of there. I have had some bad experiences and some bad food before, but this is the perfect storm of the worst restaurants I have ever been in. My coworker framed the receipt to remind her that nothing her husband could cook could ever be as bad as this place. I would not be surprised to learn this place "mysteriously" burnt down so the owners could collect the insurance money.

    We ordered out on a Thursday night and when I got to there no one was at the register, I waited for a while until a waitress came out of the kitchen and finally got my order out to me. On the way back home the food didn't smell appetizing, I mean it didn't smell bad it just wasn't good. When we got home we opened our container and the food looked okay but the taste was a different story. I order the chicken Alfredo, the sauce was oily and thick and the whole thing was just gross. The garlic bread was barely edible. We will not be coming back.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
