Luigi's Italian Restaurant, Hawthorne

The chefs at Louigi's Italian Kitchen tempt palates with a colorful selection of toppings for pizza, creamy sauces on pasta, and all the ingredients one could want in a sandwich. The margarita pizza showcases fresh tomatoes, red onions, and basil, and the Great White pizza's arrangement of roasted chicken and parmesan cheese makes it both delicious and great camouflage in the winter. A variety of sauces are created for the pasta dishes, such as white wine marinara for the pasta primavera; pesto for the cheese ravioli; and homemade bolognese sauce for any choice of pasta. Chefs also stack an assortment of ingredients, from italian meatballs and sun-dried tomatoes to a honey mustard spread and roasted eggplant, to make sandwiches that can be enjoyed by itself or accompanied by appetizers or salads.
