We visited the old Luigi about 6 years ago when they were located around Guatape town square. Now, back in town, we remembered Luigi's as something special. Luigi's has since relocated approximately 20 minutes from central Guatape. The road is a bit bumpy, and it's advisable to use Wave instead of Google Maps to get there, as Maps directs us the wrong way, leading to a 30-minute detour.
It's a family-style diner where guests are welcomed into the owners' home to enjoy Neapolitan pizza, Italian wine, and a selection of soft drinks. Despite its simplicity, the experience is truly delightful. While Luigi's was memorable six years ago, this time it exceeded all expectations. Despite having traveled the world and visited Italy numerous times, this pizza ranks among the best we've ever tasted. The crust is flawlessly crisp, the ingredients fresh and bursting with flavor, and the atmosphere reminiscent of lively Italian gatherings depicted in movies. Dining at their home felt akin to those heartwarming scenes.
The food is outstanding, the ambiance charming, and the owners, a delightful pair, exude warmth and hospitality. We, along with our children, thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
I cannot recommend Luigi's highly enough. It's worth the journey to experience it for yourself.
