Luigi’s Delicatessen

I really like Luigi’s! I used to spend a lot of time at the nearby Chelsea & Westminster hospital, and would always pop in here to cheer myself up afterwards. I’ve not tried much but I am a HUGE fan of the Luigi’s special salad, which has papaya, mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, mango, avocado and basil. It shouldn’t be good, but it’s absolutely delicious.
I’ve tried some of the prepared food, and some things have been AMAZING, others just okay, but nothing was bad. They have a huge variety of Italian foodstuffs crammed into the little shop, and the staff are friendly.
I’d give it 5 stars if I could afford it!!! My tub of salad today, enough for 2 people, was over £10. It’s just a once-​in-​a-​while treat these days, but everything here will cause you to have sticker shock when they ring it up. If you’re on a budget, tell them. I’ve said before I want salad but only want to spend £5 — and they sort it out. They do take advantage of the affluent neighbourhood though so be careful. And enjoy your tasty treats!

Once you step inside Luigi’s you feel like you’re in a shop in the middle of Italy. Everything and anything you’re looking for Italian will be here. The smells in the store are to die for and you’ll want to eat everything in sight. They have ready made food you can buy, pastas, sauces, cheeses, olive oils, meats, etc. I’m telling you I didn’t want to leave. They also have a vast wine list that has over 1,000 wines. On Saturdays they do wine tastings.
Everyone in the store is very friendly and helpful.
Will I go back? Definitely!

Sorry to bring these reviews to order but the web link is to an mail ordering site?
Maybe they provide this, but surely its the shop that is the focus?

Mortadella. Check. Olives. Check. Panetonne. Check. Arribiata sauce to take home. Check. MANGOS. check and check. Edit: I just want to reiterate that they sell the most expensive mangos ever, but they’re the best in town. I am not kidding. I won’t buy them anywhere else anymore. They’re always beautiful here. Just magical.
Everything in this place is delicious (except the bolognese sauce) and wonderful. I bought a mango from here and it matured into the best tasting mango i’d had in London. So good. Everytime I’m in chelsea I make a pit stop at Luigis.

A small local Italian shop where you can find a great selection of typical italian deli products. The shop is quite small but offers a great selection of products. They even have some freshly prepared sauces, try the bolognese pasta sauce, they won a couple of awards with the sauce and it is really delicious. You can also find a some of the best olive oils in this shop. Another rare find is some traditional, and also great flavoured, Limoncello. The stuff they sell has nothing to do with Limoncello you will find in UK supermarkets. It’s soooo much better, but doesn’t come cheap.

The food at Luigis is absoluty amazing, lasagne gorgious! Not too bad on price either

I went and asked these dudes if they were italian and they looked at me in a way that only italians can — ie., as italians wondering why someone would question if they’re italian.
I think they might have been a bit annoyed with me because they kept calling me a cazzo which according to urbandictionary means they were calling me a prick.
I am like best friends with them anyways so whatever. Friends can call each other all sorts of things.

A recipe I was determined to make recently required all sorts of speciality ingrdients that I wasnt going to find locally (even in tasty food mad Chiswick) so I decided to make the trip to Luigi’s after finding them on the internet.
It was definitely worth the trip, all the Scamorza Affumicata and Burrata Mozzarella your heart could possibly desire plus breads, vegetables, antipasti and all sorts of rare and wonderful Italian ingredients. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is a delivery service!
If I were a real Italian living in London rather than a wannabe one, I may have just cried with joy upon entering this store.

Wow. Never go here hungry… You might not make it outside again.
I was strolling, peckish, wondering what to make for dinner, and voila (or «Ecco!» or whatever an Italian might exclaim) there was Luigi’s.
It’s a beautiful deli, a little old fashioned with dozens of tempting dishes on display. I could not resist some hand-​made, fresh pastaTortolloni, a tub of fresh sauce and a jar of delicious looking sun dried toms. Which was all great — the £21 bill did cause me a double take though.
I would go again, but would probably pay a little more attention to the prices!

A great neighbourhood gem! They are very friendly. One of the first times I went there I had forgotten I had no cash on me and I walked in unknowingly past closing time. They let me walk out with a package of orzo and pay later in the week. They have won my unwavering loyalty as a result.
And the food — The food is amazing! I am not a huge red meat eater, but the meatballs are so rich and flavourful. So is the lobster sauce. Their freshly made salads are great too, I particularly like the one with avocado, mango, papaya, mozzarella balls and tomato. Highly recommended!

friendly little shop with friendly southern european staff. it’s a grocery store not a restaurant. all of the cheese is great and well kept. the parma ham is the best – they open more sides then any other store in chelsea. prepared food is mixed – some of it is heavy and a bit greasy. they have a great selection of olive oils. very pricey!

This is pretty much the don of London delicatessens. I can safely say that if I was summering in a nearby £10m Boltons mansion, I would come here every day to stock up on fresh Italian produce. As it is, I discovered the place while working in a shop down the road. I got my daily garlicky kicks by buying their budget Bruschetta meal deal — half a toasted ciabatta doused in extra virgin olive and tiny cubes of beef tomatoes, basil and parsley. £2. Amazing.
5 points deducted for their über-​friendly Spanish assistants masquerading as Neapolitans, 10 billion points added for stocking some of the most delicious stuffs known to man. You can’t miss it: it’s big, red and you can’t see in past the piles of fresh pasta, sausages, cheeses, meatballs, ragu, antipasti, limoncello, aged balsamic vinegar and biscotti in the window.
