Luigi's Italian Eatery & Cantina, Seattle

Growing up in the Italian port town of Brindisi, Luigi DeNunzio frequented the colorful outdoor markets with his father. Surrounded by stalls bursting with local produce, meat, fish, and dairy, Luigi discovered his love of rustic cuisine composed from the freshest regional ingredients. After immigrating to Seattle and amassing experience in both cooking and business throughout his time there, he opened three locations and focused on serving hearty Italian fare featuring the flavors he discovered all those years ago. Today, Luigi has expanded his oeuvre at the eateries to include cooking classes, where students learn the intricacies of crafting true Italian cuisine.
