We came in on a Friday night and sat at the bar. After 35 minutes with no one even acknowledging our presence I asked if we could be waited on. I was told NO. That they were too busy. We live close by and are repeat customers. We left and it will be difficult to go back.

Pizza was ok, but probably good for KY. Crust was well done which I prefer.

Absolutely fantastic! Sorry that in the food pics they are partially eaten. I couldn't wait to dig in! All the staff are super sweet and the pizza crust for their pizzas are the absolute perfect crusts. Not too thick, not too thin. Just incredible! It can get a little bit noisy in there, so if you're sensitive to crowd noise just be aware.

Was very excited to try this restaurant as my boyfriend is Italian, and they actually had food that met my dietary needs. Unfortunately you will wait a while to be seated, get water, and your food. I asked the waitress a question about a dish and was disappointed when it arrived. I did eat it, I should’ve spoken up when she brought it out, but I didn’t. Classic story. When we paid I did tell her I wasn’t completely happy with the food… she responded with “well I checked on you twice” and “you ate it all.” I was shocked. We didn’t ask for our money back or even insinuate it. We were actually going to get dessert… She asked how it was and we told her. We asked for a manger just to say we were disappointed in her response. We waited an extra 20-30 minutes. The manger wasn’t very helpful or nice when she finally came out. I don’t feel like we were taken care of in any aspect. She became argumentative by saying “you should’ve sent it back.” Which I should’ve, but how many times do customers actually send things back because they don’t want to be seen as a “problem” or a “Karen.” I don’t feel as if anything was sincere. The food wasn’t anything spectacular and we spent $60 on a horrible experience. As a manager of 12 years, I would’ve personally handed this differently.

First time here, will be back. Pizza had a wonderful flavor. One in our party told us the only time he had had pizza with that flavor was in Italy, that it was a difference in the flour. Husband loved his pasta dish. The restaurant was swamped, but our server kept up. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Great Location, and super nice staff and serice! We came on our last day craving a nice pizza, and it was very good! The place is busy, and we called ahead for a table, which saved us; highly recommend this! The table next to us had pasta, and the portions seemed huge. My wife and I were able to finish our pizza (surprised us), partially because it is a very thin crispy crust, which is very nice. You could tell locals ate here, everyone seemed to know each other, always a good sign.

A wonderful surprise! After a distillery visit, we wandered downtown Bardstown. We decided to stop here because my wife wanted a glass of wine. (She’s not a bourbon drinker.) we weren’t going to eat because we had a very late lunch but the food coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Decided to split the Penne Mediterranean. Fresh, hot and delicious.

I decided to have a bourbon flight, which was reasonably priced. Turns out I like James E. Pepper barrel proof!

Absolutely horrible experience. We waited over an hour and a half for our food which never came. And then we checked out and the waitress had an attitude and still charged us for our meal. At which time we told her we were not paying for our meal so she gave us cash back for what we did not eat. Horrible experience I’m sure it’s not their normal but definitely they need to up their game and trade n their staff. The waitress simply forgot our order and somehow felt it was our fault.

We are visiting from SC. Staying within walking distance of this restaurant. We had the Caesar salad and Primo Primo pizza. It was the best pizza we've had in a long time. Thin, crunchy crust. Perfect. Toppings were fresh and perfect. Give this place a try when you are visiting!

Great experience! My sisters and I visited Bardstown for the day. We had lunch there and shared the Primo pizza and the Penne Mediterranean. Both were delicious ! The waitress was friendly and attentive.

I ordered the spaghetti and it was the best restaurant spaghetti I have ever had. Enough said. Hubby also loved the pizza. The service was exceptional.
