20 Best Italian Restaurants near Clarksville

“The food was good but the service was amazing! Our server Christine was one the best servers I’ve ever had! She was so cheerful and lovely while making sure we had everything we could need. She was especially good with the kids. If you stop in here be sure to ask for her!“

“We went through the drive-through Monday evening...really enjoyed our food...however, we were shorted a family salad and I haven't been able to reach anyone to see if that could be corrected.“

“I have had several of the Middle Eastern menu items multiple times. Without a doubt it’s one of the best places here in Louisville. If not the best. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are healthy. I need to try some of the Italian dishes. The owner used to work in a top rated Italian restaurant for 17 years.“

“It's rare that we have a date night on a weekday with two young children, but tonight was the exception. When I realized our anniversary was falling on a Wednesday, Perso was the first place that came to mind. Perso's Prix Fixe Menú is available every Sunday through Wednesday and offers a three course meal for $29. It's no secret that I'm a fine dining enthusiast; but who doesn't love a bargain? If you're looking for a nice night out without breaking the bank, this is your spot. Perso sits at the corner of Oak and Shelby in the same location as the former Square Cut Pizza. The giant windows in the front provide an abundance of natural light. The interior has a modern industrial vibe with painted exposed brick, plants, and Edison bulbs hanging on pendants. One wall with wooden slats gives a Scandinavian feel to the main dining area. It's a small-ish intimate space with a beautiful patio. For my first course, I chose Crostino Di Tonno- olive oil poached tuna, stracciatella, pickled celery, and Calabrian chili. I followed my first course with olive oil poached swordfish, corn chowder, and golden zucchini scapece. For dessert, I had the chef's choice: apple strudel with whipped cream cheese. My husband chose heirloom tomato with roasted eggplant, bagna couda, and fine herbs. For his main course, he had pork tenderloin with edamame, beef dashi, and fine herbs. We both opted for the chef's choice for dessert. I tasted each of his courses and they were every bit as delicious as my own. The edamame provided the perfect texture and his tenderloin dashi tasted gravy-esque without being overly heavy. Mostly notable, besides the insane deal for such decadence, was the fresh flavor combinations throughout. Our table had fresh rosemary as a centerpiece. The corn chowder was right up my alley. I could've licked my bowl if I wasn't trying to pretend to have a bit of class. The swordfish was tender, juicy, and not overly fishy. The tuna flatbread was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The mint on top of my whipped cream cheese truly set it apart. My lavender Manhattan was earthy and smoky, not just in flavor. It was literally smoking. My husband had an old-fashioned. Neither of us were disappointed. Our server, Amanda, was phenomenal. She offered recommendations. She visited our table to ensure we were satisfied the perfect number of times. Her warm demeanor was professional while also being personable. She was everything we hope for in a server. Perso's Sunday through Wednesday Prix Fixe Menú is hands-down one of the best opportunities for an affordable night out. That being said, once you get a taste of what they have to offer, you'll be sold on splurging any day of the week.“

“We always enjoy our experiences at Volare’. Fresh seafood dishes flown in each Friday for another one of their exquisite seafood entree’s. Large portions are in order and our favorites are the steak with bourbon glaze and salmon with a hot pepper sauce. Don’t forget to order their decadent desserts, even if you take it to go. Caring staff that make certain that your visit is flawless.“

“My wife and I visited here over the weekend after we saw the Luke foods tiktok review. We ordered 5 individual slices to try and they were all very good. Our favorite was the buffalo chicken pizza. My wife is from New York City, so she was the big judge of it and she absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back and would recommend this pizza.“

“Visiting Louisville and two days in a row coming to this fabulous establishment! Absolutely amazing food and Lexi at the bar offered the best service!“

“We had reservations for Valentines Day and were seated immediately. Our sever was Stacy and she was kind, and quick. The food was unbelievably delicious and the trip as a whole was perfect. Wish we wouldn’t have waited so long to try it out. Can’t wait to come back.“

“This is my favorite place to go out to eat. Chris, the owner, is the chef, and he is BRILLIANT! If you like Italian food, and you haven't been here yet....you are missing out! I especially like the duck pasta (when available) and the apple walnut salad. :)“

“Friendliest staff!! Most delicious food! All around perfect dining experience!!“

“This place was wonderful! Yesterday was my first time coming to Grassa Gramma and my husband and I went for an early Valentine's date. The decor and atmosphere was breath taking! Just so gorgeous! Our waiter was kind and gave us the specials for the day. I ordered the baked seafood scampi and my husband ordered the cacio e pepe and we loved it! I even reheated my pasta today and it tastes just as delicious as it did yesterday!“

“My wife and I have been coming here since 2018 or so, we have loved it every single time, enough that I proposed to my wife in the restaurant! Great food, kind staff, excellent decor. All around a great date night location!“

“I've lived in Louisville Kentucky my whole life and this is one of the best places I've ever had I was very blessed at the time to be able to enjoy their food and their hospitality believe you me if I wasn't homeless I would ask for another order of oysters“

“I had never heard of this restaurant until a family member from out of state sent me a link as a suggestion to cater our grandson’s first birthday party. We were expecting 80 people (adults and children) - he is a miracle baby and this was a big celebration! We wanted to make sure there was enough food that both adults and children would enjoy. Paula was so patient and gracious to us as we went back and forth about what we wanted, even changing the menu at the last minute. She was also extremely helpful and gave us the perfect suggestions for a crowd our size, with something for everyone. She even made a low sodium option for my husband who is on a renal diet. We ended up with two pasta dishes and two kinds of panini sliders, with garlic bread bites and a complimentary tray of cookies. Everything was incredibly delicious, and we had tons of food! Everyone raved about it and commented it was like food at a wedding reception. The panini sliders were a huge hit! This is not your typical Italian food - it is high quality cuisine, and you can tell it is “made with love” as my husband says - and very reasonably priced especially for the quality. Lastly, Paula’s husband, Anthony, delivered the meal all the way to Bernheim Forest where we had the event. We were running behind and it was so chaotic when he got there - but he was so gracious and helpful, and even brought a birthday gift Paula had gotten for our grandson! Our entire experience with them was wonderful. They served us well, and we’ll definitely go back. They are busy, so if you don’t get a call back, be patient - it will be well worth the wait!“

“Some of the best food in Louisville!“

“Love this Fazoli's. They are generous with their helpings. No loud music. Debbie is excellent at her job. Very friendly, remembers you when you return, serves your food as soon as she can. I stop here when I come to Louisville to see a doctor. No Fazoli's in or near Pleasureville. I will come again!!“

“This is handstand the best restaurant to go to if you want to meet the chef and truly feel a part of his restaurant creation. We've eaten there at least 20 times and have always had top of the line service and food.

This is the one place you can genuinely interact with the owners and feel the passion they have for the business they've brought to Louisville.“

“My wife Brittany and I stopped in on May 10. The restaurant was packed with only a few seats at the bar. It looked like the hot spot for pre prom dinner. The waitresses were working their tails off trying to keep up and we were very patient. Boy did that patience pay off. Sarah was finally able to ask what drinks we would like. I teased her that water would be great if we ever get it. lol. Sarah immediately new we were kidding and fired back with a little sarcasm of her own. She was wonderful the entire. Sarah brought our bread out. It was very good, but the sauce for dipping was the highlite. Sarah made some recommendations, as we were first time diners. I had chicken parm and my wife ordered eggplant parm. We loved both dishes. Great attention to detail was taken in preparation and appearance. It looked better than any food I have ever seen pictured in a menu, and tasted even better. We followed dinner with chocolate cake and a raspberry sauce that still makes our mouths water. It was so food, we ordered more to take back to the hotel. I would say it is the best little spot in New Albany! Sarah's service and playful personality was the best part of our evening. The food was a very close second. BOTH were INCREDIBLE!!! Hope to make it in again sometime for more great company and good food! Shannon and Brittany“

“This place is amazing! The owner is so kind and personable! I will definitely be back!“
