Where Tradition Meets Taste – Don Luigi Named Formby Bubble Business of the Week

Nestled in the heart of Formby at 31 Church Road, Don Luigi has long stood as a shining example of authentic Italian cuisine — and this week, we’re proud to name them as our Formby Bubble Business of the Week.

🇮🇹 A Local Legend with Italian Soul

With a legacy spanning over 40 years, Don Luigi has cemented itself as a beloved part of the Formby community. Under new ownership since 2011, the restaurant continues to thrive, blending traditional recipes with modern charm and exceptional service.

From the moment you step through the doors, you’re transported to Italy — not just through the décor or the aroma of fresh herbs and garlic, but through the genuine hospitality of the team. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’re made to feel like famiglia.

🍕 Classic Recipes, Timeless Taste

At Don Luigi, tradition is at the heart of every dish. Many of their recipes have been lovingly passed down from ‘Nonna’, including the rich and comforting Bolognese, fresh pomodoro sauce, and indulgent tiramisu. Their Napoli-style pizzas are renowned, often described as the best outside of Italy.

The menu is crafted with the finest fresh ingredients, capturing the essence of Italy in every bite. From antipasti to pasta, from hearty mains to delicate desserts, each dish celebrates the warmth and richness of Italian cuisine.

👨‍🍳 Meet the Team

Behind the scenes is a passionate and talented team, led by:

• Peppe, the welcoming and charismatic Manager

• Roberta, the Bar Manager known for her cocktails and charm

• Luca, the Head Chef who brings culinary artistry to every plate

And of course, Tommy and Lynsey, whose warm welcome and attention to detail ensure every visit is a memorable one.

🍷 More Than Just a Meal

Don Luigi isn’t just about food — it’s about the experience. With a lively bar open late, an extensive selection of Italian wines, Prosecco, and Champagne, and a warm, family-friendly environment, it’s the perfect place for a romantic date, family gathering, or special celebration.
