Note that the entrance to this restaurant if very easy to miss. It has a small sign on a busy 4 lane+ highway in an area with not other commercial development. Moreover, the road after the turn is barely two lane. Other than the restaurant, this is a residential area. We visited on a Thursday night and experienced a 35... More

My wife and friends have dined at this restaurant for a number of years and we have never had a bad meal. We dine out extensively in Lexington and Louisville. This is simply the best Italian restaurant in the state. The food is always well prepared and the service is outstanding. They also have jazz musicians Thursday through Saturday. Make... More

Excellent service, repeatedly stopping by the table. The featured cabernet was excellent. Desserts were also fantastic. Would go back for sure. They also had a man playing jazz in the lounge which was nice - not too loud either. More

I've lived here for many years and didn't make it to Giuseppe's until last week. I had no idea what I was missing. Food was exceptional, service was attentive and the music was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend. More

This last time I had the gnocchi appetizer and the caesar salad. The gnocchi were lighter than usual, which is a good thing! The cheese cream sauce was very tasty. I asked for anchovies on the caesar and got more than I remember getting in any restaurant that has caesar salads. Our waiter was attentive, but not overly. We four... More

Best Tiramisu in town!  Salads are delicious and very large with the meal. Service Ok. Could be better for an upscale dining place like this.  Attention to detail is missing. More
