Owned by executive chef Jean-Christophe Poirier and his business partners at Pourhouse and Pizzeria Farina, Ask for Luigi is a casual, 30-seat Italian restaurant serving appetizers and fresh pasta made in house. Sophisticated in presentation and flavors but simple in ingredients, this local favorite draws lines at lunch and dinner (no reservations). The menu changes daily with pasta as the focus, but don't forget the Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Crispy Bucatini (available at lunch or dinner) and Eggs and Anchovies, which are only available at lunch. Appetizers range from $3 to $15. Mains are $15 to $19.
