My wife Jana and I had the pleasure of visiting Luigi's Italian Specialties on Thursday March 19, 2020. While we have driven past it countless numbers of times, we had never stopped, though we had talked about it often. Luigi's sits back a bit off of Route 299, on the left hand side, not far at all from 9W, only 2 or three minutes, going toward New Paltz.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI never give reviews, but Luigiās is too good to keep to myself. Hands down the best & most authentic deli in the area! I moved here from Queens a year ago (also lived in Brooklyn & the Bronx for a few years - so I know good food) and refused to patronize the other places in the area after many disappointments. Luigiās is on the money! We ordered: ham & provolone on ciabatta, a foccacia slice, rice ball, ricotta cheesecake, some cake bites + dry pasta and chicken cacciatore sauce (canāt wait to make this...
