“Love this fazoli’s. The food is always hot and fresh, and the staff is super friendly. Gracie is awesome and always makes the experience better — she’s quick, helpful, and has such a good attitude. The breadsticks are always on point and the service is fast“

“Both service and food were outstanding! Our server, Samantha, was super nice and took great care of us. This place not only has authentic cuisine but it's relaxed fine dining and not pretentious. Thanks again!“

“Had a great lunch. Our server, Travis, was excellent. He answered all our questions. The cappuccino was delicious. Great experience.“

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

“It is usually my favorite place to eat but today's experience wasn't good. The food was cold and hard.“

“Stopped in for the first time before a drs appointment. It was just after 3, the place was dead. Our waitress was terrible. Never even ask if we wanted a refill although she looked at our cups and saw they were empty. The food, however, was fresh and delicious. Service was terrible.“

“It's Olive Garden- I wish they made more food there versus shipping in product. Our server confirmed they do not make soups on site and they are a bit too salty (for me). That said - the lunch portion of the pasta was large and the salad and breadsticks delight. The croutons were a touch stale. The broccoli was plentiful and the salmon was good. Nothing standout.

Service could have been better. There were plenty of empty tables, but our waiter kept forgetting to bring us our requested items.“

“best Italian food in town!“

“Came here for a date night and our server AJ was awesome. We could tell we came in right around the time her section closed (my fiancee and I are servers ourselves) but we always felt taken care of and didn’t feel rushed at any point. The food was great and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Excellent ambiance, food, and service. When I arrived separately from my party and inquiried as to their whereabouts, the hostess said to her coworker- “You remember, those two old guys who came in earlier….” I know that my husband is a jaw dropping 61, but hearing him referred to as an “old guy” was off putting. Food for thought, no pun intended.“

“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!"“

“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!“

“we had a wonderful authentic Italian dinner here tonight with great service, and I had fantastic veal picata! The service, and atmosphere made me excited to return! My highest recommendation! John Little“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“MAY 16, 2022...One of the best Giovanni's we've eat at.. Service very curtious. Very clean place.We received the exact food we ask for. Would rate it a 5 star.. 5 being best“

“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“

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

“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!“

“good food and very nice stuff“

“The food as always is awesome. The ingredients are hot and fresh. The delivery is always on time. I’ve also eaten at the restaurant and the place is clean and the service is great. I definitely will return and also will order food for delivery again. I would recommend this place for pizza to anyone who is interested in ordering great pizza!“

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