Luigi's Cafe in Monmouthshire

What a lovely place and the coffee was excellent the best we have had in a long time . Service was friendly and returned and had another coffee and cakes yummy 😋 😊 Thanks to all the team Mary & Gerald Dartmouth

I have been here many times. Usually just for a breakfast. Food has always been spot on. The staff never seem happy. Doesn’t feel that welcoming unfortunately. Food quality will always bring us back though

Visitors to the area and this place looked busy with locals which is always a good sign so decided to pop in. Omelette was the biggest and best I’ve ever had and I’m a very fussy eater! Good, fast and friendly service. My new favourite cafe when visiting Aber now, sorry Ziggys!

Friendly and busy cafe with plenty of local folk, family feel with great service and wholesome food. Mugs of mocha were piping hot, spaghetti meatballs was great, the spinach and ricotta cannelloni was superb. Right in the town centre on a busy road, good place to rest after shopping. Will call in again.

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

Both had the Yorkshire with mash, peas, liver and onions .. delicious and filling Staff were very pleasant Will visit again

Very good service and pleasant staff Breakfast was very good Spot on clean and tidy, wee sat outside in the sunshine 🌞

Super friendly and great atmosphere, popular with local people. I visited early on a Sunday morning and they were very accommodating, making me a hot drink even before the cook was in.

We went for breakfast on a Sunday. The town was very quiet but this cafe was full of locals, which is always a good sign. It has vegetarian options and the food was basic but well cooked. Staff friendly and helpful.

Possibly the best breakfast we have ever had! Everything was piping hot and cooked to perfection washed down with an excellent Mocha coffee and change from £20 for us both, highly recommended.

Very nice cafe.Lovely food and friendly staff.Would definitely go again when we are in Abergavenny. We have visited before.

Visited on Friday both of us had Omelette and chips. Both meals fresh and hot and tasted amazing. We rarely visit Abergavenny but will do so more often if only for lunch .

OK .......... but be prepared to wait. We ordered our lunch (4 of us) and then after 20 minutes, the waitress told us that one of the dishes was not available! So ......... another 20 minute wait, one of the dishes arrived, after another 5...

As visitors to the town we took a chance on this cafe, it was busy and this is usually a good sign. Located on the high street with some outside seating we made a good choice. Staff friendly and helpful too. Nice coffee in decent...

Luigis caffe is a great place and good atmosphere, would definitely recommended for breakfast. Or just a cup of tea. The full English breakfast is my favourite and my family enjoy it aswell The tea is prepared in sweet cups and served on a small...

Me and my daughter had a lovely cottage pie chips and peas yesterday. Very good prices. Would highly recommend.

We have been going to Luigi's for the last 4 years and we have never had a bad meal. We love their sausage sandwich and Cappuccino coffee. The sausages are always cooked to perfection. In Suffolk I paid double for the same thing. My sister...

I have been going to luigis for many years now and have never had a problem staff are always helpful and greet you with a smile the food is always perfect will continue to be there every Sunday

Stumbled across this place on Monday 17th August we had a pot of tea for two and scones , we sat outside and watched the world go by we most defiantly be coming back again

We stopped here for breakfast. The vegetarian option was very satisfying, and the full carnivore option was delicious. Staff were friendly, if a little overstretched that morning. Overall, a perfectly acceptable and appetising breakfast.

Enjoyed a lovely cappucino and panini whilst watching the world go by in sunny Abergavenny. Excellent!

Been here quite a few times - and have made a special effort to do so since restrictions came in - it's safe - and spaced - and they are incredibly happy, friendly and helpful. A little gem of a place !

Sat outside here a couple of times with a cup of coffee whilst in Abergavenny. The coffee is excellent and hot as well, a lot of other places these days its only luke warm. I was served by a happy smiley person and at a...

First visit to this establishment and really liked it, coffee excellent, staff friendly, food prepared fresh.

Had a lovely veggie breakfast and coffee at Luigi's this morning, very good quality, generous portion sizes and brilliant value for money, even without Boris's 'Eat Out To Help Out'. Staff very friendly and accommodating, would highly recommend

I had a delicious lasagne yesterday and my daughter had a jacket potato with tune.Service was quick staff very nice.Wish we could come here more often but we live in Berkshire.

I just love this cafe! It’s authentic and unpretentious with excellent personal service from Gabriella and staff. In the current climate I feel that the cafe is safe and clean, and the outside tables are a huge bonus. Have had everything from full breakfast (...

I’ve had a few meals here over the years, but my visit on 21 7 20 was the worst.My wife had a lasagne, which was like a £1.99 Lidl one.My ham, egg and chips was pathetic. Thin £1 ham from B & M, the egg was so small a local pigeon must have laid it!Very poor for nearly £16!

Can't wait for lockdown to end so we can visit South Wales again (my wife is from Merthyr originally). Stopped in Abergavenny at Luigi's and have the yorkshire pudding with liver, onions and gravy...fantastic. Welcoming and friendly service. Twice now I've driven from there back to Manchester at night non-stop...fuelled by this.

Just like the best local pub, a local cafe will have a high level of customer service, great food and drink, a welcoming staff and be full of locals, who will all welcome newcomers.When you don't need to order, you know you are one of the locals! When the staff know your specific likes and dislikes, you know you are a local and a regular.Recently one of the regulars became unwell and the care and attention the staff gave him were more than you could expect, they clearly knew him, his situation and made sure he was comfortable. This is Luigi's.It is the best place for breakfast or lunch, and I would assume also for an evening meal.It was closed recently for refurbishment and having to eat elsewhere for the duration made us realise just how good this place is.My weekend doesn't start until I have my breakfast in Luigi's and I will be in there this weekend too!It can also be busy, which again is a sign of the quality and value on offer, so be prepared to wait, it will be worth it.

Enjoyed our meal. Plenty of seating, friendly staff, perfect for a quick lunch. Would visit again. Was the only non pub meal we had on our visit to Wales.

Last time we visited Abergavenny Luigis cafe was closed for alterations .All up and running again.Too early for lunch,read the specials board with a view to have lunch later in the week....all looked very inviting,and reasonably priced.Very friendly staff,table serice was a bonus.Good coffee ,very generous cup size.....Two drinks,coffee and hot chocolate for less than £4.00,Wow!

Great simple fried food!! Always freshly cooked and hot. Staff helpful, although decor very dated. Great for if you want something cheap and quick to fill you up!

The staff were jolly, funny and clearly knew the locals well. Cheekily they realised we were visitors and they soon played us into a pretence that they knew nothing about the food, the food however was top notch along with the timely teasing made for a pleasant morning snack

We were looking for a quick bite to eat on a Sunday at lunch time and we did not want a 'Sunday Roast' we were delighted to spot Luigi's.They have a short menu ranging from snacks through to a full meal. We thoroughly enjoyed what we selected. The service is friendly and caring and the place seemed to attracted a good number of regulars as well as the casual visitors.There are a limited number of alcoholic drinks but they do have wine by the glass.

A value for money cafe with large portions. Many options available ranging from cakes, snacks to main meals. Plenty of vegetarian options and a specials menu. Would return.

We eat here every weekend and always have great food! The service is friendly and efficient but it does get busy so you may have to wait for a table.

Staff was nice enough but the veggie sausage was very dry and tasteless.. just a cheap brand.. probably the Linda McCartney ones. Was just disappointed there was very little choice ( was either the sausage and chips or a load of lettuce, or mushrooms on toast) and as it was so busy this weekend before Christmas we couldn't just get food elsewhere (we tried there was 50 minute waits) and we hadn't eaten, just feel misled that it says veggie friendly on TripAdvisor and it just isn't.. oh well. You live and learn, I'm sure it's fine if you aren't a veggie.. just a heads up for those who are.

Nice cappuccino Tuna baguette was warm so may have been frozen and put in microwave which made it tough No salad garnish or crisps which would make it more attractive

Came to Luigi's either side of our weekend in the beacons. Great food at an amazing price. Lovely atmosphere as well. Highly recommend !

Me and my wife called here for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The place was nice and clean very prompt service good choice of food. The full breakfast was a delight and good and hot good value for money.

Great traditional meals at a good price. Best place to eat in Abergavenny in my opinion. Highly recommend

Popped in while visiting the town and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Went to order food but no seats so went outside to sit. Lady came to get me so I could share a table with a lady who was willing to do so.

Friendly place with lots of locals eating which is always a good sign. Breakfast was well cooked and exactly what we wanted. Will return if ever in the area.

Has recently undergone a facelift, one can dine/drink coffee in or outside seated on the pavement (a favourite for smokers). Prices are very competitive here both for coffee and meals - service is good and staff friendly and well established.

Lovely little high street cafe. Wife had the lasagne and remarked it was as good as her own (high praise indeed). Very pleasant, friendly service. Will return if in area.

Had breakfast on Saturday 3rd of August .very tasty and well prepared . Staff are all very helpful and friendly.

Nice to have this place open again after a few weeks of being closed for refurbishment.

A Cafe which is run with Old-Fashioned values at the fore. Service is quick and efficient ,Food is well cooked and presented and great value for money. You are treated as a if you are a friend not just a valued customer. My husband and I visit nearly every Saturday. Have never been in a Cafe like it. Missing it while it is being refurbished.

Too early today for lunch(10.00a.m)

Luigi's is the 'Must Stop off' for breakfast and meeting place for members of Dudley Caving Club. With members from across the West Midlands meeting here for their delightful and substantial breakfast it is a must prior to a rigorous days caving in South Wales. Excellent food and service!

Very nice. Super cannelloni. Will certainly go there again. Seems very popular and we were quickly served.

A decent café/restaurant, with decent prices and good food (breakfast). Despite part of my order being forgotten, I did appreciate the taste of food and the fact that the café is opened from 8:00 a.m. Thumbs up!

On my way to south wales, needed a good breakfast- and was not dissapointed. Only problem is that everyone else knows how good it is and the place was packed - keep it up - top marks

Always good for coffee and cake. The cooked menu always looks very appetising and reasonably priced. The service is second to none.

Don't ask how - but work colleague and I ended up in Abergavenny on a Sunday morning. Using the Tripadvisor app to find a place that was open for brunch on a Sunday we thought we'd end up at a motorway services for food. But Tripadvisor came up trumps with this place.

Popped in for a drink and cake and we were greeted by friendly efficient staff and lovely food. Great experience and would visit again

I eat here once a week (at least) and always have a good meal. The cooked breakfast is superb as are the lunch options (lasagne & steak and kidney pie to name a few) Also the coffee is worthy of note Well worth a try

I guess if you want a cheap brekkie then yes it's fine. But for me I like a quality sausage and better quality bread. The sausage seemed a frozen cheap one and the bread was like value white sliced bread. The bacon was lovely though. The place is heaving with workman who obviously want a fulfilling brekkie but just wasn't what we were wanting whilst having a few days in Wales.

This is a go to place for a bite to eat when out shopping !

Fantastic breakfast at a great price. All the items were clearly freshly prepared and plenty of them. Will deffo be visiting again

Visited Saturday lunch time 3 adults 1 child. We had the beef dinner and a child’s chicken nuggets and chips. Beautifully presented loads of beef great assortment of veg cooked to perfection. Child’s meal also very substantial. Reasonably price hot Spotlessly clean and staff 1st Class. Recommended

Once again I've had a lovely brekkie. All nice and clean and definitely the best in Abergavenny! Really good value for money x

Lovely cafe, open until 6.30pm. Great value for money, all home made. Lasagna is delicious! Lovely friendly staff, especially Gabriella! Very family friendly, with good vegetarian selection.

The place was how many nice and clean and the service was really friendly I would recommend this place to anyone definitely will be back again thank you all

This is our third or fourth time visiting this restaurant, the staff are friendly cheerful and helpful. Food is wonderful and good size portions. Great value for money.

Stopped for a coffee before we went shopping and were so impressed with the selection, friendly staff, cleanliness and overall atmosphere that we came back later for lunch.

Great for a quick snack , or a Jacket potato with different fillings . Get to your table quickly because that's just what it does . Fills up quickly because it is very popular .

Stopped for breakfast on our way to Devon and this place was recommended by a local. The all day breakfast was very good value for money and service was excellent.

I visited Abergavenny in April 2018, with a view to going to see the Antiques and Bric-a-Brac Market. Almost directly opposite the Market entrance I came upon this excellent Café where I had a lovely cooked breakfast with hot coffee.

Wonderful home-cooked food. Reasonably priced. Very clean, and friendly staff. The cheese pie is super. This is a rare find and in such a lovely town.

Stopping in Abergavenny for lunch I remembered we had eaten an enjoyable lunch in Luigis on my last visit and although every table was taken we only waited few minutes and were able to be seated. Both my friend and I had a beef sandwiches served with a side salad which were very good. The staff are very friendly and efficient and this is a nice comfy cafe to visit

terrific personal service. I had a veggie breakfast even though it wasn't on the menu. They treat my parents like they are royalty every week. Good solid freshly prepared food. I hadn't been here for many many years. I'm glad I returned. Excellent coffee. (segafredo)

Stopped in at Luigi’s for a Sunday morning coffee on a day trip to Abergavenny and what a find. Great coffee, hot and strong, and the best vanilla slice my wife has ever tasted (and that’s a pretty big accolade). Along with genuinely friendly and efficient service, Luigi’s is well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

A friendly welcome and probably the best cup f coffee I have had outside Italy. Quickly served and only £1.60. What a fantastic find

Really nice, unpretentious cafe style dining. Piping hot, tasty food with a good range of menu options. Helpful and attentive service.

Quite possibly the best liver and onions anywhere , lovely clean friendly place to eat and the food is served piping hot and presented well .

This is a very friendly cafe, offering a wide range of reasonably priced meals. My wife suffers from a severe and debilitating digestive disorder which normally makes eating out a real problem. At Luigi's, however, the staff go out of their way to meet her dietary requirements. Many thanks to all concerned!

We had not booked a table, but were quickly shown a window seat by a very friendly waitress.

Traditional Italian cafe oozing retro style with cream leather banquette seating. Staff were friendly and hot drinks were generous and tasty and welcome on a cold day.

I go to Luigi's for a breakfast treat. The second time that I visited and placed my order I was asked if I wanted to have my tea when the breakfast arrived. I was flattered that it had been remembered from my previous visit. Todays...

Great food, great prices and great service. Stopped here for a good hearty lunch and coffee. Will definitely eat here again next visit.

Very delicious food quick service between meals would polite staff were very helpful and polite we would definitely go back again xxx

Pop in for the first time today and I must say amazing service from the young lady who served us food was hot and good potion size and lovely atmosphere will defo return again when visiting abergavenny

No nonsense, good value food. Staff are nice & friendly. Just stopped for a quick lunch with a nice cup of coffee.

Just dropped in for a coffee and a cake. Simple decor but friendly service and good food. The menu was ideal for a low priced meal

stopped by quite late on Sunday lunchtime , didn't realise they closed at 3pm and must have got there with a minute to go , the staff seemed happy to see us and welcomed us in , ordered scampi and chips with side salad ,really good , nice size portion , good cup of tea and good value ,

Nice food excellent service great place . Takes cards and has a toilet. Would recommend. Good value for money.

Met for lunch with friends. All went for the liver with onion gravy excellent meal never disappoints service excellent good portions cakes look good only down side is you may have to wait for a table

Visited with family. Kids bolognese was very generous and tasty. My chilli was also a very good portion but could have been improved with some spice. It is a chilli after all.

The ramp at the entrance makes entry to this restaurant a little difficult with a wheelchair, service was quick and efficient, the food arrived in a timely manner and was very palatable.

We decided to pop in for a drink but then decided to have a bite to eat. Great friendly service and lovely diner style seats - food was tasty fresh and plentiful. The drinks were hot and tasty. Would recommend. Only gripe was it had no background music on.

I eat here once a week without fail and always leave full. Whether it’s for breakfast or lunch the food is good quality and always represents great value.

Always a warm welcome, piping hot coffee and delicious food. Staff very friendly and efficient service. Indoor and outdoor seating for those with dogs and situated on the Main Street of Abergavenny opposite the Market Hall.

We were here on business and one of our local contacts suggested we meet up here for a coffee. Well, what a lovely find. An old-fashioned Italian cafe with simple seating and really great food. What started as a coffee ended up being a really wonderful breakfast (and yes, they do serve it all day). Run by Gabriella, who is the daughter of the eponymous Luigi, nothing was too much trouble. Every town should have a place like this and not be taken over by soul less chain coffee shops. It was lovely to see it busy and thriving. I wish we had a "Luigi's Cafe" in more places that we visit.
