March 24, 2018 at 10:08 amMy gram also worked at the Altoona location decades ago & gave me the recipe for the dressing & this is NOT EVEN CLOSE!! I no longer have the recipe but I do remember it wasn’t nearly this complicated. I had swapped au lis base for the beef base…I just always done what gram said to do.

April 4, 2013 at 8:09 amDressing is good, but not an exact–I think the balsamic takes away from the taste. I have another recipe that I cannot tell the difference between it and the original, however, there is Accent in it. I have also tried it without the Accent and it is still good, just a tad less flavorful.

March 4, 2013 at 12:29 pmJust for the record, who ever made up this recipe is way off……They’re guessing…..I know the real mix and you know it’s a family secret…..

March 14, 2017 at 1:24 pmThe original owners of luigettas have been long gone but I knew the owner that took it over and it wasn’t bad then but something went arie after they sold it. It was no way as complicated as this recipe. I remember that it had oil, vinager and beef base but not much more if any. And the original site was around kettle street and 5th Ave in Altoona pa. It may still be there still but I know that there is a spin of at Hollidaysburg pa on Allegheny st. ( not sure of the street but think so)

Dene says
February 4, 2019 at 5:10 pmWhat is beef base
Stephanie says
February 4, 2019 at 7:38 pmIt’s like beef bouillon but comes in a paste. It is sold in the same section of the grocery store as bouillon.
Altoona resident too says
November 28, 2011 at 5:53 pmJust for the record, its “Luigetta’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania….

Altoona Resident says
August 8, 2009 at 5:24 amJust for the record its Lugetta’s… the recipe is almost accurate :). It definitely tastes the best after you let the dressing wilt the salad for a while. It is also great on hoagies and over french fries.

November 25, 2018 at 11:11 amI’ve lived in Altoona all my life and the recipe came from Charlie and Catherine’s. It was in the 50’s. Then it became Luigettas. The recipe does have accent and beef base in it but I don’t know of anyone that has the exact recipe.
