I just want to say, I see you kylie,your doing great things, may god continue to bless you. thank you again! Narissa“

“Very nice little Italian restaurant with a bar inside, I had the Chicago beef and french fries and a blue moon I also tried one of their house margaritas could have used more margarita mix in a little more tequila but it was good, they did not have no chicken cacciatore or cannolis for dessert that was a bummer but overall pretty nice place.“

“Service was good, but do not sit in the bar area. Service is a little slower. Food was also good , pasta a tad bit dry. Doing the lunch time you can expect to wait 10 to 15 minutes extra for a table. The decor of this Olive garden seems to be much brighter and lighter than most and much more peeling.“

“best Italian food in town!“

“We had a delightful time with the family for an early dinner. My second most important besides the handicap parking which defiantly should be visited is our service!
Our servers name was Tisa J. Miss Tisa was an exceptional, fun loving and caring server. She had each thing we needed at the table before we even ask. She was exceptional at anticipating what each of us needed and smiled as she did it. Being in the service business for many years I can say Tisa is someone I would love to be on my team working beside me on a daily basis. You all have a gem in her and each table should be greatful to get her as a server. Thank you all for a wonderful family visit.
Thanks again Tisa!“

“One of our team members says "ItalX is a gem in downtown Lex! The interior design/vibe is picturesque, the Italian food is incredible (I recommend the focaccia with whipped ricotta, the lasagna, and the tiramisu), and the drinks are also a 10/10! Perfect place for a date night or girl's night!"“

“We absolutely loved our experience at Joe Bologna’s! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with stunning stained glass windows that beautifully showcase the charm of the historic church setting. They were incredibly accommodating to our group of 10, which we truly appreciated. The staff was fantastic, and Luke, our server, made the visit especially memorable—full of personality, attentive, and spot-on with his recommendations. And the food? Absolutely delicious! We can’t wait to come back on our next trip to Lexington.“

“Going during lunch time, we found the restaurant not very busy. We were seated quickly and the for the food was surprisingly cheaper than the how fancy the restaurants interior looks. The bread we were served prior to our food coming out was phenomenal and it was a good indication for how good our food was as well.

Overall, great food, atmosphere and all at good prices.“

“am very pocky with my Pizza & cheese. the thickness was good for me. the sauce is delicious & variation of pizzas is very good. you can order bigger pizzas for catering. i will be visiting more often! the staff is making a lot of effort to make people happy!“

“Thrilled to discover Rosati’s pizza in Lexington! As a Chicago area transplant to Lexington 15 years ago the thing I missed the most was the pizza. I used to get Rosati’s every Friday back in Chicago. Did you know that Chicago has awesome thin crust pizza? The crust, the sauce, the cheese, and omg the sausage!!! Kevin, so glad you brought Chicago pizza to Lexington!!! I’m in south Jessamine county and I’ll drive the 40 minutes to get the best pizza in Kentucky!“

“Great place for a pizza or grinder, always a hit!“

“Have been here 3 times already. Very nice friendly staff, food is great , reasonably priced. Love the fact I can order on line and schedule pick up for a later date. Will defiantly be ordering again.“

“Great pizza and great service… Diffidently be returning..Maybe this week..super close to The home 2 suites hotel..“

“Some of the best pizza 🍕 ever. Everyone must try the BBQ chicken it really is to die for.“

“While visiting Lexington we wanted to try something new So this was our First time trying Jets Pizza The Store was clean Employees were friendly and helpful Pizza was delicious Highly recommend“

“I truly mean it when I say, this is THE BEST pizza I have ever had and probably ever will have. Nowhere else have I tasted such a unique and perfect blend of spice and seasonings in a pizza. That goes for the meat, sauce and cheese. And I don't know what they do to their dough, but it's just perfection. It's a great blend of soft and crispy. Even the Mountain Dew seems to taste better than usual. My family has gone here all my life. Certainly one place that has stayed consistently good over the years! Even though we no longer live nearby, we certainly come back for more when we visit the area. We have always had amazing service. Vinnie in particular is amazing! He is always very friendly and seems to make the pizza extra good! He certainly makes you feel welcomed. Because I literally cannot comprehend a better blend of flavor, every other pizza place is pretty much competing for 2nd place in my book. I hope this place stays around for generations to come as a local staple. Much love indeed! God bless!“

“We normally get the large deep dish pepperoni and sausage, well done with turbo crust. The service is fast and the pizza is always so good! I can only eat two pieces cause they are so big. Their pizza sauce is really good and their toppings.“

“good food and very nice stuff“

“Service was excellent best spaghetti sauce blue cheese is like my moms reasonable price delicious“

“Grace is the best. We just ate there. I hope you see this. We didn't have to ask for a thing.She is very polite, great attitude. Food and service was great. You need more people like her. God bless you.“

“Great place to have pizza and drinks. Waitress was super nice, sweet and funny. Will come visit again. Worth the drive from Cali.“

“Today I ordered a half pepperoni and three meats pizza plus cheesy bread. OMG, it was so GOOD! It was made right and We love Little Ceasars’s. They made my day!“
