“Food made with love reaches the soul and moves you like nothing else can. Pure love is transmitted.”
Luigi Delicatessen has made a mark on the Adelaide restaurant scene by keeping its doors open into the evenings for live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Adelaide's best musicians take the room: world-renowned jazz pianist Kym Purling, alongside Joe James and James Sace. They are joined by upright bassists and singers, bringing a feeling of Europe and New York to the lovers of fine food and music who book early enough to snag a dinner reservation.
