![]() A lady who was waiting in line while I was in there and I were cracking up because it felt awkwardly intimate we’re locking eyes as I’m finishing up going to the bathroom. The ladies room is hilariously tiny the walls of its only stall are super low, where my head was sticking clear up above them while I was standing in there. The restaurant is dimly lit red twinkle lights festoon the dining area around the bar the tables are intimately close together and covered in red-and-white-checked tablecloths. It feels like a bit of a labyrinth as you wind through the low-ceilinged, multi-roomed structure – but in the coziest of ways. According to its website, it’s been around since 1953, which I wasn’t surprised to find out, as the restaurant interior has a real old-school vibe. Luigi’s in Harrison Township is one of those legit, family-owned, real-deal Italian restaurants peddling cuisine steeped in sky-high deliciousness. All that garlic and sauce and cheese and spices and rich flavor – the BEST! OK, I know there is more to being Italian than the food, but the food does play an integral role in the culture – and for good reason, given its sky-high deliciousness factor. I am a quarter Italian via the bloodline of my beloved maternal grandmother, who was second-generation Italian-American (her parents’ parents were from Italy), and I always wish I was more Italian I romanticize that part of my heritage, because what’s not to like? For one, Italian food is LIFE. I’m always thrilled to discover another legit, family-owned, real-deal Italian restaurant in the Detroit area, because I am an Italian-restaurant snob.
