Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise hot, fresh, consistent food in generous portions, with pasta and pizza named most, alongside risotto, steak, fish dishes and cheesy garlic breads. Portions come up repeatedly: one group boxed up their desserts to take home, and a solo diner says they always waddle out. Close behind is friendly, welcoming staff, described as attentive and smiling even when the restaurant is busy, with food and drinks arriving quickly. Several mention the atmosphere, and one enjoyed seeing a restaurant buzzing and busy. Diners also use it for celebrations, including a party of 12 and a birthday evening for a partner. A lone diner who often eats there while working in Wigan says they never feel out of place. Weekly deals and a choice of menus get a mention too. One reviewer suggests booking a table, though another was seated on a Wednesday without a reservation and a third booked half an hour ahead. For one birthday boy, staff brought out a sweet with a sparkling candle and played happy birthday music.

“Last time we got a table without the reservation, it was Wednesday. Welcome is very warm, service great, food amazing. Will be visiting this place at least 3-4 times a year.”

“Food is always top notch in this restaurant and service is always fab. I often eat here alone when staying in wigan for work and never feel out of place as a lone diner. Always waddle out due to the generous portions. Thoroughly recommend.”

“I’ve never had a bad meal at Papa Luigi’s. I came here with a party of 12 to celebrate a friends birthday. The table was ready and was the perfect size. Staff are always friendly and attentive and food always arrives quickly and is always cooked to perfection. It was arranged with staff to bring out a sweet with a sparkling candle for the birthday boy and they played happy birthday music too. I would highly recommend this place for tasty Italian meals and celebrations.”
