There really is no such
thing as a light meal at Luigi's. Even things that purport to be salads
are loaded with heavy pieces of fried chicken and oil that you'd swear
leaked straight out of the Exxon Valdes. On top of being calorically
colossal, the dishes themselves are enormous. The chicken parmesan
hero might as well be a pterodactyl smothered in a pound of oozing
cheese. The chicken roll is like something out of a Monty Python movie.
With their rub-busting girth comes larger than normal process, as
the chicken roll tops out at over six bucks. The restaurant itself
is your basic pizza take-out joint with some great murals of the Italian
countryside to make you forget your actually eating lunch on while
a bum stares at you through the plate glass window on 8th Ave. While
Luigi's has been known to inspire amazing heart-burn, and draw "so-so"
comments on taste, you really can't do better if you're looking for
that mid-afternoon food coma. [MF]
