Luigi’s redeems
Took my starving missus to Luigi’s for another shot of finding good pizza in Phnom Penh. She was starving, not in the mood for Italian, and not happy about going across town from Riverside to Luigi’s. Cold shoulder all the way.
Place is a charming Italian style ristorante. All the menu items are Italian with English descriptions. Serving staff wore hats similar to the barbers at Tokyo Hair Salon. Customers were mostly young Khmer and a few foreigners. Price is at the higher end with most items around $10 or higher.
I ordered the 4 cheese pizza (waiter recommendation) and she ordered the strawberry gelato.
Pizza came out brick oven style. Light and airy, but stiff enough to be foldable for eating. Cheeses were good, but not really to my liking. I like some sauce on my pizza, otherwise perfect.
Gelato was a smoother texture than ice cream, nice velvety taste.
Overall experience - sucked. Don’t drag your starving better half across town to eat food she doesn’t want to eat.

If I was graving Italian food and she would show that kind of childish behavior I would stop calling her 'my better half' for sure.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 9:02 pm Overall experience - sucked. Don’t drag your starving better half across town to eat food she doesn’t want to eat.
Maybe rethink the title NKOTB, with an estimated 30 years to go.
Re: Luigi’s redeems
So why did you go Italian when your wife was not happy????? Why not go t a souky soup or equivalent? No offence but seems a bit insensitive to menewkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 9:02 pm Took my starving missus to Luigi’s for another shot of finding good pizza in Phnom Penh.

You're the man now, kid, you need to put your foot down and stomp that shit out, otherwise she'll be forever fucking like, "But I didn't want pizza..." and you'll be like, "shut your fucking mouth bitch, I've got a four cheeses pizza coming, why not get an ice-cream or some shit?"

Re: Luigi’s redeems
So wait, you're saying the pizza was decent and gelato as well, but the final verdict is that it "sucked" because she gave you the cold shoulder and wasn't in the mood for pizza? Sounds to me like you've got a girl problem rather than a restaurant problem. Learn to choose better next time (either girl or restaurant based on both your moods). Also, try Romano's or Tratorria Del'Arte (pricier) of you're after pizza or Italian near the riverside. Saves you a few km.
