Trattoria Da Luigi in Hackney

Wonderful staff and delicious food.

We always take friends and family come to this local Italian restaurant. The owner is very friendly. Food is delicious . We all loved Stella 😘. Free home made bread & Oliver . The last before bill come we have free home made Lemonchello too 😘😘

As good as it gets without flying to Italy. The sardines were 10/10

What can I say the food is amazing 👏 the host Stella is so welcoming I have been coming here for a few years and always happy every visit 😊

We visit Luigi's whenever we are in the area for a few years now. Stella is lovely, very friendly and makes us feel like family. The food is good traditional, Italian food and the ambience is typically trattoria! A real gem to have found.

Amazing food in a cosy and authentic environment. The hostess was very kind and generous and treated us with complementary limoncello at the end. We will definitely visit again!

Amazing authentic food with warm hospitality, with very good value for money. Keen to visit again and try more options from the menu

This restaurant took me back 2 imo the good old days of Italian restaurant the decor ambience food. Great little spot service a tad slow but everything else spot on. As an ex chef who worked in 5 Italian restaurants I had nothing 2 complain about I will definitely be going back. This is a must try 4 all lovers of a good old fashioned restaurant with great food with very good prices lovely staff

We were a walk in in a Saturday night, very friendly staff despite being run off their feet. Food was traditional Italian and exactly what we wanted. Lovely to get a limoncello shot with the bill and a lovely conversation with, I’m guessing, the owner.

Best restaurant in Rome. The fettuccine was to die for as well as the sea bass. Overall very friendly staff and lovely ambiance especially at night time. Highly recommend to everyone. To add on this place was definitely not a tourist trap and had genuine tasty authentic food!

I enjoyed the rustic space and the Sardinian cuisine was delightful

Had a lovely evening meal at the weekend, all the food was delicious and great value. Service also excellent. Overall a great experience

Good quality food, lovely service.

I absolutely love this place. You can always get a table and the staff are incredibly friendly and go beyond. I've been coming here for 15 years and have never had a bad experience. Tasty, simple, cheap Sardinian food.

Fantastic restaurant - took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and the atmosphere was so laid back and our hostess was extremely kind and attentive, you feel like you’re at a local italian restaurant. Food was incredible, if you’re looking for a cute and local vibe then this is the one. We even got a free shot of lemoncello from our lovely hostess due to it being our anniversary. Couldn’t fault this place and the service. Thank you :)

My partner and I had the best experience here. Cozy warm vibe. Amazing service. Great food. Great value and a hidden gem. Thank you to Stella for giving us a wonderful night

This little restaurant is a nice place, a little dark but it's nice. Food was OK they just need to season the food before cooking it ie steak wasn't seasoned at all and neither was the chicken. But other than that it was nice. I reserved a table before hand and was running late so I called to push back the reservation. The staff were very accommodating and happily changed the time for me. Once we arrived we were welcomed with a big smile and open arms, which was nice and pleasant. We were taken care of very well which added to a really nice dinner experience for both myself and my fiance. The restaurant was clean aesthetics were a little dated but I could see they're trying to keep the place authentic and traditional as possible.

We had our Christmas meal here from the office. The food was delicious, everyone was wowed by their food. The service was second to none and Stella was an absolute star. We arrived in dribs and drabs (unfortunately, due to transport problems) but they still accommodated us and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend this place and will go back again to try some of the other dishes. Thank you Trattoria Da Luigi!!

The BEST 🇮🇹 restaurant in London. Try the Venison Ragout and the Seafood Risotto! 🍷 Red wine recommendation: Nero D'Avola (from Sicily, bursting with red fruits & 14% alc).

Spag bol was wicked 🤣 love the staff I was treated very well

Amazing food, wine, service and great value for money. Staff are so friendly. Looking forward to coming back soon!

My family's first visit to this amazing Italian restaurant. Immediately warm and welcoming . Lovely Italian family vibe, beautiful food, fresh ingredients. Made my son's birthday special. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the lovely staff.

The food is incredibly delicious, and the staff is extremely friendly. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, amazing service, great value for money. Can't fault it. Going back in a couple of days and can't wait!

Absolutely love it here - always fantastic service and delicious food. We also came a couple of months ago for my partner’s 30th and they really went above and beyond to make it special! Would highly recommend.

Everything was amazing. Stella, the host was very welcoming and helpful with our order. The food was delicious and we would go back time and time again! Highly recommend it

We love this place. The staff are so warm and friendly, the food is great and it’s very family friendly. In the many years we’ve been coming, every visit has been fantastic!

Well priced authentic Italian restaurant.

This is a classic in the heart of Stokey that never never never dissapoints. Authentic Sardignian restaurant. Great service! Stella you are a Star! (No pun intended!)

Amazing hidden Gem Stella was fantastic host food was fantastic x

Amazing atmosphere, service, and food.

Fantastic experience - outstanding service , Stella was so lovely and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and good value. We will be back

Good family run restaurant. Not massively special but has a lovely home-like feel to it.

Great building and excellent food. Staff were lovely and very friendly and helpful. Most importantly the toilets were very clean.

Amazing food and staff. Fresh ingredients and lovely limoncello treat in the end.

Excellent food as always well presented and full of flavour. Friendly staff provide a great service. Lovely meals.

I just love this place food and staff are out standing

Such lovely staff. Excellent pizza, cute atmosphere upstairs and a great venue for a party in the basement.

Such lovely staff. Excellent pizza, cute atmosphere upstairs and a great venue for a party in the basement. Best Italian in Stoke Newington.

Great people. First time there, so good old Bolognese is always my go to. It was better than my Nonna's. Great food. Will definitely go again.

We ate here tonight for the first time tonight, and my only regret is that we had never visited before! The staff are so friendly, it is so authentic I actually felt like I was in one of the Italian family Osteria’s or Trattoria’s I have visited during my visits to Italy on business over the last 30 years.. I cannot praise them enough, absolutely fantastic!

Great crispy and light pizza. Wonderful atmosphere and service.

Loved the food especially as they cater for gluten allergies which i have. The food was yummy and the service was awesome, very attentive waiting staff who also liked a chat and a giggle. Highly recommended 👌

Luigi is a must for anyone wanting a great authentic Italian eating experience. Food , service, atmosphere... it's a must. Our go to eat out when in town.

Absolutely the best and most authentic Italian trattoria in London, great food, such a friendly atmosphere and the best service. A real must. Our go to eatery when in London. Just the best!!

Stella was fantastic! The food and service was absolutely incredible. We will definitely be back

Lovely place with really great service

My fav restaurant in Stokey, wonderful food, friendly staff. You’ll never be disappointed! Highly recommended

Absolutely love this, place, I just keep coming back. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is fantastic. Perfect date spot.

10 year local for us and I can't believe I haven't given it 5 star before. Like being on holiday but next door. Kindest service in North London.

Very good food, great portions and the waiter was super nice! Will def come back

Lovely service, great food and beautiful location 🤩🍕🍷!

A very nice restaurant with excellent, traditional Italian food and a good atmosphere. The calamari is v nice and the Saltimbocca with mash was delicious!

Our go to place for eating out. Birthdays and anniversaries we come here. The food is alway ls amazing and the staff are lovely.

Vanuit onze nieuwe tijdelijke uitvalsbasis deze buurt in Londen gaan verkennen. We hadden eerst een andere Italiaan gereserveerd, maar toen we de kaart aan de venster bekeken besloten we onze reservatie af te zeggen. Wat verder zagen we dit restaurant, dat bij snel onderzoek goede reviews kreeg. Vriendelijk onthaal en de bediening zou steeds goed blijven. Vreemde muziek. Een mengeling tussen folklore vanuit de bergen in combinatie met kermismuziek. Niet echt de muziek die ik aangenaam vond om bij te eten, maar waar wij meermaals hebben mee gelachen. De kaart ziet er goed uit en dus starten we met een voorgerecht van vijgen, parmaham en blauwe kaas. Een zeer goede combinatie, mocht de vijg warmer zijn geweest en de ham niet verbrand. De pasta die mijn partner bestelde kreeg van haar een voldoende. Zelf koos ik voor kalfslever met boter en salie. De lever was gebakken zoals ik wenste en was van goede kwaliteit. De saus voldeed echter niet aan mijn verwachtingen. Geen idee wat de kok hiermee had gedaan, maar ik vermoede dat hij deze met een bloem had gebonden. Geen smaak van boter of salie, maar een vieze smakeloze brij. Zeer jammer. De geserveerde wijnen waren prijs kwaliteit dan wel goed. Heb al zoveel beter Italiaans gegeten dat ik dit restaurant zelf niet meer zal bezoeken als wij weer deze buurt aandoen.

Food was delightful, the staff are angels! So lovely and personal, couldn’t have asked for a better Sicilian meal - we will definitely be returning! Thankyou!

Incredible food and service. Couldn’t recommend higher!

Very welcoming, authentic Sardinian restaurant.

Food is amazing and wonderful service!

Excellent evening. My Saltimbocca was absoluately delicious and the service was lovely. A bit noisy to start with (a large party nearby) but was quiet after that.

As always, fantastic food and service, and great value.

The most amazing place. The restaurant is first class with every authentic Italian dish you could ask for, cooked to perfection! The staff are quite the best I’ve ever encountered, so friendly and efficient - nothing is too big an ask for them. I wanted a large table for a birthday event and Stella, the owner, couldn’t have been more accommodating to my changing wishes (she’d also hung up a happy birthday banner which I found so thoughtful). We then went down stairs for a pre-planned party in the event space below which is equipped with absolutely everything you could need for the most magical evening (bar, dj decks, in built lighting and again the most lovely staff). If I could do that whole evening again every weekend I would! Honestly could not recommend more - a real gem of a find.

Lovely food, well priced and very welcoming owner and staff.

A small independent restaurant run by a wonderful owner. Always a warm welcome and wonderful food. It's our family's favourite local restaurant and has been for over 10 years.

Love this place. Stella and the team are the most welcoming hosts and the food is such great quality and authentic Italian. The burrata is unreal!

So lovely to be here again. Wonderful food and a wonderful welcome. Have missed you but you are back. One very very happy diner.

Divinissimo!!! Amazing food, the chef nailed all the plates we ordered, from the fish, the risotto, to the pizza and all the pastas. Great service too. Proper Italian restaurant. Defo recommend. 5🌟

A lovely little pocket of Italy. Great food. Would recommend

Very good service, friendly and cheerful. Food was delicious, with very little waiting time. Highly recommended

This is a charming Restaurant, with superb Sardinian food. The atmosphere is rustic, with perhaps slightly too loud Italian waltz and polka music playing non stop. The service is great with very friendly waitresses. It's a timeless, homely place. I love it.

Such a great evening at this cosy, beautiful, authentic spot. Pizza is DELICIOUS.

Lovely food, a very genuine Italian Trattoria experience, would recommend for everyone to try

Brilliant food ... but then it always is, which is why I keep going back there. The staff could not be more welcoming or helpful. It is a lovely ambience ... intimate, friendly, cosy ... it was just what we needed on a cold December night. We'll be back!!!! Thank you Trattoria Da Luigi.

We’ve been twice now and honestly couldn’t recommend it more. A lovely local Italian ran but lovely people who make you feel really at home. Food is good and the portion sizes are big. A lot of love for this place!

Great small Sardinian Italian place, lovely food and fab service

Lovely staff provided an excellent experience. Great food with daily specials too. Will return.

This is our favourite little local in London. We used to live in the area but now we always come back here when in London. Superb home cooked rustic Sardinian food. Lovely owner and staff. We wish we still had it around the corner.

Always a great experience here, we had my aunt visiting from the states and she loved the food They were very accommodating with our pram , they even allowed us to move tables to avoid catching the cold draft from the doorway Friendly service as always , will always recommend this to friends

Wonderful meal and very friendly service Thanks!

Delicious food and fantastic service - we’ll definitely be coming back!

Stella the owner is fantastic! The food outstanding and there is an extremely warm atmosphere in the restaurant. Try the vongole & bottarga spaghetti!

Delicious food and friendly service. They let us bring our dog when we sat outside.

Plenty of options in the menu, stating fresh but doubting a lot. The waitress said they have removed octopus from risotto pescadora because the customers were not liking it, without saying to the customer or at leastremoving it from the ingredients, before ordering(after highlighting this 3 weeksago, the octopus is still as ingredient in the dish. We paid full price for a dish without the ingredients stated in the menu. No apologies, no discount. The sardines were like from the can, but the word fresh was in the menu (fresh can opened probably). The bread was good, I must say.

Don't bother ordering from them...if the delivery fails, they just wash their hands, show no interest and offer no way to resolve it, get your money back or ordering it (and paying) again from them!

Gorgeous intimate lowlit trattoria with specials to die for. Convivial atmosphere all round. The lobster ravioli, sicilian platter, tiramisu and limoncello were really fantastic. I’d come here again on a date or with a group of 6 good friends.

Best restaurant in Stoke Newington, been going for many years. Amazing food and even better service.

Best service ever! Amazing service, very good pizza (Zola particularly) and great red wine and Italian beer. We will definitely come back!

Delicious food, really lovely location and service, I'll definitely be coming back

Beautiful meals, lovely service Would definitely DEFINITELY recommend!

Never again, very cheap quality food, my birthday without dinner because our pizza were that salted we can't eat.

Really great food, fantastic service and suuuuch good value for money! The portions are super tasty and also a really good size. One of my favourite restaurants on church street.

Lovely place. In assuming, relax and unpretentious. Good service and good food

A family favourite- always a pleasure, lovely food and people

Food was not fresh at all The service was good

It would be a crime not to visit this place at least once but I can guarantee you WILL return!Thank you Stella 😁

Always a good atmosphere and always reliably good.

Really lovely service and cured meat starter. Shame that the pasta that we ordered wasn't freshly made and the langoustines were cooked from frozen.

I love coming back to Trattoria! The staff are always so friendly and warm and food is super tasty. Definitely come here if you want great food and a relaxed, cosy atmosphere.
