“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.“

“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.“

“Great pizza! The thin crust had a perfect crisp texture while still having a nice chew. The cheese and sauce were well balanced, and the flavor was exactly what I look for in a classic cheese pizza. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in what they make. I'll definitely be ordering again.“

“I like Brian the bar tender. He is nice, friendly and does a good job. He sure knows how to make a good manHatton I would recommend this place to every body.“

“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!“

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

“The food was enjoyable. The unavailability of beer was uncanny specially, no availability of the only one Italian beer offered. Cost way too long to be taken to the table. Some of the staff are welcoming. Others seem a little too good to help certain customers..“

“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!“

“I inadvertently made a reservation for the wrong day for the table in the kitchen. Manager, Dino, took care of us even though it was my mistake! We always have a great experience at this location and will keep coming back!“

“This was my first visit to Porcini, and it definitely won't be my last. From start to finish, everything was outstanding. We started with the calamari appetizer, and it was excellent. The Caesar salad was one of the better ones I've had. My gnocchi with the spicy sausage was absolutely fantastic and easily the highlight of the meal. Everyone else at the table thoroughly enjoyed their dishes as well, including the risotto with shrimp, the filet, and the lamb chops.

The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive throughout the evening, and the support staff kept everything moving seamlessly without ever feeling intrusive. As an added bonus, they had Weller Antique 107 available, which was a nice surprise and a great way to finish the evening.

Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with outstanding food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere. I can absolutely see why Porcini has such a strong reputation, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.“

“Love Olive Garden anytime...Our server, Del'Shawn, did an AMAZING job with our table. Everything was point on. Repeated visits to our table to check on us all. Food was delicious and hot. Coffee was great. Would highly recommend this location and the server.“

“Pizza is amazing!!! So yummy. The bartender is HORRIBLE. Stood at bar showing pictures to someone and totally ignored me. I had to end up leaving and have someone else get our drinks. She was extremely rude!“

“Ryan was our server this evening and he was absolutely amazing! We had a large group for our kiddos graduation. Thank you for the great food, atmosphere, and drinks! Was well worth coming from Texas 💕“

“The best, authentic Italian food in the entirety of Kentucky. GP was our server and did not steer us wrong - every recommendation was fantastic. The Chef Rocco came out to serve our cacio e pepe and was so kind and personable. Make sure to get the Tiramisu - It’s the best you’ll ever have! We had a fantastic experience and will absolutely be back!“

“It's been a long time since I've been at a fazoli's and this experience was pleasurable. The food actually surprised me for its quality, it was good. The staff was very friendly. Friendly. The dining room was clean and I like that they brought your food out to you.“

“​I had an incredible dining experience at the Brownsboro location! From the moment I walked in, the hosting staff greeted me warmly and escorted me to my seat.
​Right off the bat, I started with a great glass of Chianti. My server, Kaylee, was absolutely fantastic from there on out. I’m currently on a diet, and she was incredibly helpful and accommodating, making sure I could get the minestrone soup to keep my meal light but delicious.
​The entire staff was helpful, delightful, and professional—five stars across the board. The food came out piping hot, and the overall vibe was excellent. To the GM running this place: huge shout out to you and your team for maintaining such high standards. I will definitely be back!“

“Old School NY Pizza is hands-down one of the best spots in Louisville for that authentic New York-style slice, and I’ve become a regular for good reason. The staff here is genuinely great—friendly, fast, and always welcoming with a smile. They make you feel like a local even on your first visit, and they’re quick to get your order right, whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or calling in for pickup. The salads are surprisingly excellent—fresh, generous portions, and perfectly dressed. They’re a solid choice if you’re balancing out the pizza indulgence or just want something light and tasty. But let’s talk about the pizza—it’s legit. The slices at lunch are a steal: big, foldable NY-style with that perfect thin, crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and gooey cheese that hits all the right notes. You can grab a couple slices and a drink for an unbeatable price, and it’s consistently hot and ready without feeling rushed or greasy. The whole pies are just as good if you’re feeding a group. The vibe is pure neighborhood gem—casual, laid-back, and comfortable. It’s got that classic pizzeria feel without any pretension, making it perfect for a quick bite, family dinner, or just chilling with friends. If you’re craving real-deal NY pizza in Louisville, do yourself a favor and hit up Old School NY Pizza. You won’t be disappointed—5 stars all the way! 🍕“

“We were traveling and got a recommendation to try Osteria. The evening could not have been better. Our server Kristy was wonderful and had a great knowledge of the food offerings and their preparation . The food was fantastic. The experience was a 10 out of 10. Thank You Osteria“

“My BF and I were amazed by this place! We now refer to it as "the market" and plan on coming back many times!“

“Excellent pizza with a good brew selection. I look forward to visiting again!“

“My first visit today, decided on a late lunch. Very good pizza and wings on the buffet. Had a great conversation with the owners. Will definitely be back when in Louisville.“

“We have been in to Boombozz (Herr Ln) multiple times and Jordan Y is at the top of our list for service. She is amazing! We eat out often, and she stands out across the board.

The only reason we gave the atmosphere a 4 star is that it was a bit hot/humid in the restaurant.“

“The pizzas, especially the New York style, at Boombozz are very good. Th8s visit I tried one of their sandwiches, the Italian with a side Ceasar salad. It was very good and would get it again. David our waitstaff provided great srrvice and he was very professional and also very personable which is a great combination as a server. I recommend BoonBozz.“

“Great pizza. Great Crust. Great prices. Will be back. You gotta try it!“

“Excellent pizza with a good brew selection. I look forward to visiting again!“

“Every time we order our Jet 10 pizza half without chesse it’s always perfect. We love Jets Pizza in Fern Creek area. Pizzza and wings are ALWAYS cooked perfectly and served hot. The staff is amazing, Dillon is always so professional and courteous over the phone when I place my order and in person when picking up order. Highly recommend this Jets Pizza.“

“I am a big Palermo’s fan!! I’ve been to this location twice and it is a hit every time. I love their atmosphere and music choice. I got the garlic knots this time and definitely recommend! Their Amaretto sour was also made perfectly by the owner Felipe who is so welcoming to each of his guest. A true family owned and operated establishment! SUPPORT LOCALLY OWNED“

“This is a good place to visit great customer service thanks to Anthony outdone himself took care of everything I needed.“

“Great food.“

“My husband and I go here every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary! (17 years today!!) This year was no different, we went and celebrated our union and each other however we had an exceptionally good server this time! (We’ve never had a bad experience or server) this girls name was Shanna - I hope she sees this! She was the sweetest, very attentive and extremely friendly!! We had an extra special experience tonight because she was our server!! Shout out to OG and Shanna!! Yall the GOAT!! Food was great as always and I’ll be eating our leftovers around midnight per tradition! lol! 😂“

“I go to the one on Hubbard's Lane and this is the best pizza in the city.“

“While traveling in Louisville, we decided we had to try Louisville style pizza, of course. The recommendation from Google and Yelp was Impellizzeri's hands down, so off we went! We arrived about 7 on Saturday night, it was busy, but we were able to be seated within 10 min. Amazing location with street parking available. Great selection of Bourbon and beers available, and a great menu. They offer 4 styles of pizza: thin, original, thick, and Sicilian. We went with original, and it was perfect crust, with a chewy edge. Louisville style is two layers of cheese and toppings, with a slightly thicker than thin crust. We loved it, but it's very filling. Lots of leftovers, which is never bad. We always get 16in to maximize our slice to pizza ratio. Service was fast and attentive, their pizzas do take longer than your average, but it was worth it. I think ours took about 25 min.“

“Great service and delicious food! We will definitely be back!“

“Best pizza in town! We come from Meade Co to eat here at least once a month.“

“Thanks for the delicious dinner for our sons birthday! You guys are awesome“

“Jets has great pizza. But for a change, we decided to get the canzone sandwiches. They were huge, and the bread part was great. But there was very little meat. The ham and cheese had one thin slice of ham, it was mostly lettuce. Same for the Italian. Wasn't even sure without looking if there was any meat at all. Won't order these again.“

“This is the BEST Bearno’s in Kentucky period! Great food! Great people! Live local music every Friday!“

“I've never bought a pizza here that wasn't delicious! Try before you listen to the negative reviews!!!“

“First lets talk about Crafthouse pizza in general. I love pizza. It is by far my favorite food. I am not a food connoisseur but I have had almost every pizza available in my area, and two stand out in this area; Pizzaville and Crafthouse. I just love it. Now as for this particular location, we have always found the restaurant to be clean and well maintained. We have always had great service there. We last went on 07/18/2026 and for at least the second time in a row we had a woman named Meredith as our server. She is excellent. She is professional, friendly, attentive, and generally made the whole experience that much better. So to sum up this is probably my favorite overall pizza place for both food quality and taste, and service.“

“I placed an order online with pickup for the next morning. When it was sent to the store, apparently they did not put a time stamp on it, causing the store to just make it. When I called the next day to check on the order, they explained it all this to me. Rather than having to cut my losses, they stated the refunded the order the day before, and would just put in the order again for me to be made ASAP. While a bit of a hassle, I do not blame the store for this but rather their online application. So thank you.“

“Me and my family were craving pizza and found this gem close to our house and we fell in love! Every bite was filled with flavor, the cheese was so good and my husband fell in love with the lasagna. The kids actually cleared their plate. We will definitely be back!“

“The regional manager personally reached out to me after my order was dropped and requesting to speak directly about the situation. Marcos makes great pizza and now has earned my respect after owning up to a mistake, addressing the issue, and showing the customer they want my business. Thank you for showing some actually customer service/care.“

“Treated my employees and myself to lunch. The personal size options with every topping combination you could imagine made it easy for everyone to get exactly what they wanted. Plus their gluten free crust is DELICIOUS!!! Will be ordering again for the team and personally. Highly recommend ordering pizza from here!!!“

“Sorry I lost the ladies number that schedules pizza tent. We met her at the river stage in Jeffersonville and would like you all to come set up and sell pizza at our events . You can call me at 813-987-1798 David Rainwater Thank You and have a great evening“
