Luigi Panini - Ottawa

I've visited Luigi Panini a few times, the two young Italian guys behind the counter are always very friendly and treat me as if I were a regular. A refreshing experience. Although, last time I was there I think the two guys aged about but the sandwiches were still great! I wish they were open later as their hours are very limited but I've never had a bad bite here.

We tried the turkey club and rustic chicken panini, as well as a side of deep-fried dill pickles. Everything was delicious! The buns used for the paninis were tasty and the sandwiches were quite large - we could have easily shared one. The service was excellent, with a very friendly gentleman working there. We will definitely be returning! Plus, they offer beer and wine, which is always a bonus.

Our friend recommended this place as the best spot for an authentic panini experience, and they were right. It's a cozy little restaurant with a lot of character, serving up delicious sandwiches and salads. I decided to try the pickle wich panini, as suggested by the owner, while my husband went for the pulled pork one. We were both impressed with the flavors and quality of the food. I chose a fresh olive bun for my panini, which was filled with deep fried pickles, fresh tomato, greens, sweet caramelized onions, and other tasty toppings. The panini was perfectly grilled, creating a wonderful combination of flavors. The pulled pork sandwich was also a hit, with juicy, rich, and tangy flavors. I can't wait to return and try the rest of their eclectic and traditional sandwich options.

I recently had lunch with a friend at this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered deep fried dill pickles with ranch sauce, a Po-Boy sandwich, and the Braised Beef dip on olive ciabatta with caramelized onions and cheese, served with au jus sauce for dipping. The sandwiches were massive and absolutely delicious. In fact, it was the best panini I have ever had. The service was excellent and the staff seemed genuinely happy to serve us. I highly recommend this place - it's definitely worth a visit!

Stopped in for some takeout. I had the tuna melt. The panini was perfectly toasted. The tuna was very tasty with chopped red onion and nottoo much mayo. The pasta salad in the display case looked very good. The arugala in the sandwich complemented the...tuna very well. It was well wrapped and easy to eat while driving.
