Don Luigi

General information

Hailing from the tiny region of Molise, owners Maria Mugnano and Alessio De Laureto have brought some of the area’s best-loved dishes to the capital, introducing Londoners to a brand new taste of Italy.

Fried Calamari is Don Luigi’s signature dish, served piping hot with a drizzle of lemon juice, or in a sandwich with caramelized red onions, grilled courgettes and aioli. Our hand-cut squid is always 100% fresh, never frozen, and comes breaded with a secret flour mix native to the region – calamari fit for the fishermen of Molise.

Arrosticini are another menu highlight – char-grilled lamb skewers hailing from the mountainous Abruzzo region – while Molise’s renowned white truffles make an appearance in a mouthwatering Porchetta Sandwich and a Veggie Sandwich with scamorza and spicy grilled aubergine.

“We’re passionate about our culinary history and excited to share these wonderful dishes with a new audience,” says Alessio. Priding itself on simple ingredients, traditional cooking methods and big flavours, Don Luigi offers Londoners the chance to experience the true flavour of Italy.
