“I Had the Carbonara, it was good and I would recommend it to anyone that likes pasta and Italian food. I Cleaned my plate. Service was great. If you don’t appreciate more authentic Italian food, don’t eat here. All the bad reviews are just people that would rather eat fake Italian Olive Garden with oversized meatballs and gargantuan piles of Parmesan cheese.“
“Spaghetti Junction was once called Spaghetti Shop several years ago. This the first experience since the name change. A nice place. We went to this place on a Saturday evening... got there about 5:30. Around 6:00 it began to get busy. Found out that kids eat free on Saturdays and Mondays. It's not very often a restaurant draws in familys on a weekend with a free kids meal. Anyway, the food was really good. The offerings were very similar to what I remembered for the former establishment. The garlic bread tasted exactly the same. Excellent!!! We ordered what is in the pictures below. Baked Spaghetti...my son said it was really tasty. Lasagna...my wife said it good. She said she always liked the lasagna at Spaghetti Shop, so very similar. Cajun Chicken Alfredo...it was not Cajun! It was pasta, Alfredo and there was chicken. The Cajun seasoning was on the top of the cheese. There was NOT Cajun seasoning throughout the dish. If it were listed as Chicken Alfredo it was perfect. So it wasn't a terrible dish, just wasn't very Cajun. A recommendation...get the unlimited garlic bread for $2.99. Every meal gets a nice portion of bread, but unlimited makes it even better. The people who work there were awesome!“
“I used to frequently eat here, but it's been a while. Last night, we went here for our weekly date night. Hubby had never been.We probably won't go back. We usually like Bourbons Bistro across the street and for same price point drinks, food and atmosphere are much better.Band was playing, and they were awesome.The atmosphere was nice. The waiter treated us in an awkward manner but was chummy and more attentive to other tables.I ordered a veal, and he ordered steak that was on special cooked medium. Ribeye was tough and overcooked. Chocolate cake was amazing... Best thing we had. Old fashioneds weren't consistent. We ordered 2 of same but each were different and almost like ingredient missing.Meal for 2 without salad or appetitizers, 2 drinks and a chocolate cake to share was about $200. Just for reference for those curious. Not complaining on price or saying I expected it to be less or more.Kid-friendliness: Not a place I've ever seen childrenWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp“
“We had a girls night out at Square Cut and it was fantastic! We had the “chefs table” menu so we could try several different things and every single bite was amazing. My favorites were the pumpkin dip and mussels. I’m looking forward to my next visit!“
“First time trying Lupo and would definitely go back! Pepperoni pizza, pasta with pork, and cabbage were all very tasty options. The pizza crust was perfect and pizza itself had the right amount of toppings. Ranch was great. Overall the flavors were spot on and it looks like they have a great variety of unique flavor combinations. Nice patio seating and decently quick service. The restaurant itself was clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. They have a parking lot right next to the building, but it was full so we parked in the overfill lot across the street (not far at all) Would recommend!“
“We had dinner there last night with some of our family for our grandson’s birthday. The food was excellent! The service was superb with all the waitresses being so friendly and exceptionally helpful to us. It was a wonderful birthday celebration and we will definitely be going back to “bar Vetti” again and highly recommend it to all our friends. Thank you for a great evening!“
“A hidden gem. It's a splurge meal for sure, but it's nice to have that kind of quality Italian in a smaller market. Reservations suggested. Sorry no pics, as it's kind of dark in there (and I flat forgot lol), but the atmosphere is intimate. The only knock I would give it is the simple fact that it is a tight fit, so it's tough to feel secluded for an initiate evening, but CERTAINLY not impossible. Enjoy the food and the service- it is excellent and you should go!“
“This has been a dining destination for my family and I for almost 20 years! Not only have the staff and owners become dear friends. The food is unbelievable! The atmosphere and camaraderie from the regulars is something only imagined by most, but is a reality here! The creativity and care put into each and every entrée is evident as soon as the first bite is taken! My children are always excited to try any new specials, but can always find a favorite from the menu. The drink and beer menu is wonderful, there are no disappointments here in my opinion!“
“The vibe is a New Orleans Cajun style restaurant with a flare. I’ve visited Louisiana several times, and this place felt exactly the same. Great food with awesome service. But the kicker is the decor and design of the historic building. I highly recommend checking this place out for yourself. Guaranteed not to disappoint.“
“We were sat in a quaint little booth, adorned with wood everywhere. Very beautiful. We started with the crab arancini and they were superb! We followed that with short rib, ravioli and shrimp scampi, and both dishes were to die for. the capers on the shrimp were the perfect addition, hands down some of the best food in Louisville. Will be back!“
“I wish we had taken a picture of our amazing food. The Eggplant Parmesan was absoluteiy stellar!! Should be featured in a magazine. The flavors burst in your mouth. The homemade marinara had the absolute best blend of herbs and spices. Each one not overpowering the other while still complimenting the roasted eggplant. My husband had the bistro burger. The fried egg on top was perfectly done. Not under or overfried. The handcut fries with parmesan were so crispy. He stated each bite down to the last was juicy and just as delicious as the one before. It was so good we debated whether to buy one to take home for dinner later. We had never had ratatouille, but we wanted to try it. The vegetables with the marinara. Yum!! Succulent. The vegetables were cut beautifully, not thin like some recipes tend to show where you kind of wonder what you just ate. Not here!! Each bite was savored. Made me think of my grandparents and their garden. Thank you for bringing me back to a memory I have missed. We will be back and soon!!“
“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!“
“Food is astonishingly good. My only negative feedback......for the level of cost, I believe the service should be outstanding. I shouldn't have to ask for a refill of my beverage. Other than that, this is a go-to for excellent dining.“
“We came in from out of town and stopped here, the service was wonderful and we loved supporting something family owned too. The food was so yummy and it’s hard to find some place that is authentic, delicious, and also isn’t hard on the wallet. Our waitress had her hands full this night but kept her head up high and just did a phenomenal job.“
“Our first time at Sarino, definitely not our last. Superb. Food was great. One of the best Italian restaurants in Louisville. Great atmosphere, I really like the building. We ate indoor but unique and cool outdoor seating. Carbanara was fantastic. Friendly service.“
“What could anyone add that isn't already known about this fabulous staple in American cuisine culture we call The Olive Garden? Whts not to love... endless bread sticks, soup and salad coupled with your favorite Italian dish (mine is baked ziti.) And don't we love leaving feeling like a satisfied, stuffed piñata?…I felt compelled to write a review for this specific Olive Garden because my experience there was extraordinary! Sometimes it is service that makes the difference and this was no exception!After having a delicious meal I felt compelled to white because I couldn't have been more satisfied by the welcoming and congenial overtures paid by the entire staff. In particular Lizzy and Lauren. I can't wait to go again and visit Lizzie in the bar or maybe be lucky enough to have Lauren as my server!Thanks for being so positive and kind, i have not laughed so much in a long time! Even my uptight date had fun! Talk about mission impossible! Also great food and drink recommendations from Lizzie and very tempting dessert recommendations from Lauren!“
“Ate lunch at southside of Louisville Kentucky. Very friendly and very clean. Debbie S. Is great. She took our order and brought it to us with fresh breadsticks. She was running the front of the restaurant ( by herself) and had everything under control. I wanted to share and hope the company is aware of her exceptional service. Cooks are great too. Food was fresh and hot. Wish we had this where we lived.“
“We had a great time! Every dish that we ordered came out perfect. Our waitress was very attentive and her recommendations were spot on. The owner was super friendly and he even shared a little history about the restaurant. The bartender was hilarious and you can tell he takes pride in his craft.“
“Casual elegant bistro with fabulous food and a wonderful coffee bar. We started with a cafe roma and a latte, both of which were rich and delicious. This was our first time here (it won’t be our last) and we ordered a charcuterie board and empanadas as appetizers. All were very good, but the beef empanadas were stars. We also shared an excellent chicken and rice soup that I believe added poured carrot to the broth, which added a nice extra flavor. For an entree, we split their English Fish and Chips, which used a delicious and crispy beer batter. We’ve found it hard to find this style of fried fish in Louisville, so this was an exciting find! It did not disappoint.“

“This is my go-place for plzza and wings. The pasta and sandwiches are also quite good. Two of the serving people, Matthew and Hanna, have been the ones to take care of me. Both are friendly and very efficient. I try to visit on nights when one or both are on staff. With so many TVs it's easy to find something to watch. It's a large place, but the noise level is not objectionable.“
“Went to Mazerella's Pizza for 1st time less than one year ago, and their pizza is absolutely phenomenal! Their lunch buffet is certainly the best in town and food is fresh with a variety of pizza's everyday. Excellent food, and prompt service every time!“
“Steve was our server for a phenomenal dining experience. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The pasta and meatball dish had the most flavorful marinara I have ever eaten. The well crafted Italian margarita went perfectly with it. My boyfriend had the linguine dish with a glass of Merlot and loved it. For dessert we had the cheesecake and almond joy. Absolutely exquisite.“

“Alright, it's been a minute but it's pi day and wanted to see what deals were out there. BoomBozz offered order a large pizza or famous pizza to get a cookie for $3.14.Our server Maggie was absolutely amazing! It was our first time here and she suggested the Bavarian pretzels with house-made beer cheese. Get it. Order it. Order it immediately. It was delicious. That was a great suggestion. We tried the award-winning Fire Roasted Chicken pizza substituted with Brisket with the Garlic cream sauce. Just go ahead and put the cream sauce on the pizza. It's fantastic. Then our pi day cookie came out. We smashed it. So good. It wasn't hard, it wasn't thick, it wasn't too much.Between Maggie's outstanding service, her keeping our drinks full, and this delicious 3-course meal. We'll definitely be back.“
“Arrived at the Barstown Rd location near Kroger's store. The menu was huge, from standard pizza, deep dish crust and BUILD YOUR OWN Options with all kinds of cheese and toppings. We got the chicken BBQ Deep dish, it was the BEST IN LOUISVILLE. TRY IT, YOU'LL LOVE IT.“
“We had a pizza door dashed last year when my son was admitted to Children's Hospital and it was too late for the kitchen to be open, the new Subway on the first floor was closed, and if my son didn't eat within 1 hr he wouldn't be allowed to due to Lots of tests being done the next morning. The delivery was quick!!! The food was Amazing ??? I highly recommend there Large pizza ? and their chicken Alfredo with bacon!!!“
“This was my first visit to the Derby City location and from a pizza perspective it was so much better than the location near me at Plainview / Linn Station Rd. I was with a large group and got to sample several toppings, and every pizza was crispy and flavorful. (I'm quite jealous that Plainview can't match this consistency: my husband and I would never describe what we've had as crispy, sometimes mushy.) My group got to experience the private room. It was a nice size for our group of 70+ people with plenty of tables and chair space. We also had room at the front of the room and ideally we would have had tables there to place the various pizzas. (They were advised to put them on tables and people mingled to grab what they wanted) The space allowed us to get a group picture and a couple of TVs were placed there to watch sports games. The primary complaint was the noise level. The walls and floor are concrete so it got really loud, really fast and this was made worse with the added music piped in. I visited the bar inside the restaurant a few times for beers. The ladies behind the bar were friendly and fast, keeping our tab accurate. There's several tables for guests in the main restaurant. It's a combination of high tops and standard tables. Volume was loud in there too, plus karaoke later in the evening. I got the sense several of the guests were regulars. Parking is tight, especially for those driving huge trucks or being forced to park next to them.“
“A pretty good experience, both me and my mother got the Choose two deal, which is smaller portions, however it was fairly priced and tasted great. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean, I have always had good experiences with this location.My only gripe was that we had to find a table that wasn't wobbly but seating was plentiful so it wasn't an issue.Vegetarian options: It's pasta with your choice of sauce.Parking: Parking lot is smaller than most but has never been an issue finding a spot.Kid-friendliness: Fazoli's is a family friendly restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at front door“
