Was trying to find a place that wasn’t outrageously priced for some Italian food. Found this little place. Definitely didn’t look appealing from the outside but pretty decent inside. Street parking or there’s a parking lot I noticed across the street where people were parking. Has a bar area then seating for dinner/eat in. Ordered Alfredo with chicken. Wasn’t crazy about the chicken on it bc it was like boiled and white like the sauce. The sauce was pretty decent. Not one to run back and have again until I have other places to compare it to. But wasn’t bad either. I definitely could do without the chicken on top. But the portion size was ok for the price.

Every dish I have had is good. I mainly stick to the pasta though. The Gorgonzola is the bees knees. Pizzailoa is also delicious.

My wife and I wanted to try something new and I heard nothing but great things about this place. I cannot comment on the food or service because my wife and I walked in, sat down, and 30 seconds later we got up and walked out. We walked in just as they opened at 4:30 and the first few tables were dirty. The entire place smelled like stale piss and beer. As we got further in and it got darker and darker and the smell of sewage got stronger. We could not stand it so we left.

This place was a happy surprise.. On the outside it looks like a tired honky Toni. On the inside it looks like a honky tonk lol. BUT the menu included some of my favorite Italian dishes. We were there for a birthday party and we had about 20 people. Cathy was our tireless waitress and she served us by herself. The food was rich and the portions generous…

Comeback in is a friendly home style Italian place. The food is very good for the price. Wood paneling reminds me of Grandma's house and so does the full bar. Everything is good even the chicken tenders for the picky eaters. Highly recommend, underrated

Our servers were sweet and attentive, and our appetizers tasted pretty good. However, my chicken parmesean was not good, the pasta I ordered with it was dry and cost extra for some reason, and we were sat right where the AC is its strongest causing us to freeze before our food came. I witnessed several people leave and go get jackets / sweatshirts due to the AC. My wife's amatraciana looked and tasted like the cook just dumped some wine into it without cooking it down. The staff was accommodating about replacing it, but for my pregnant wife, it was too little too late. It's safe to say we won't be coming back here.

We passed by several times but never stopped. We come to visit family and decided to stop for supper tonight! It was awesome!!! Bring a sweater. It gets a little chilly! Great experience?

This is a terrific neighborhood restaurant. The food is exactly what I expect from comfort food Italian style. The portions are hefty and the prices are reasonable. We will be back.

Love this place! Delicious Italian food, personal and relaxed atmosphere with a welcoming vibe. Low key dining, full bar and friendly staff make this little place worthy of it's name. I look forward to going back soon.

I can normally tell you I think so highly of this place. Any other night I'd give it a 5 star. I even recommend people to this place. Tonight though, we went with our two friends that also eat here regularly. We were extremely disappointed. When we ordered, two of us ordered extra breadsticks (which we would be willing to pay for) did not get them with our meal. We also normally get a much larger portion than we did tonight. To say I finished my bowl of food has never ever been a thing here. It was the smallest bowl of food I've ever paid $14.50 at come back inn. When the checks came around we asked to not be charged for the extra breadsticks. She told us that they don't cost anything anyways. That's the service we received tonight instead of checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. That's a kind of service I've never had here. I'd say we are going to start looking elsewhere for Italian, and I want to end with I never thought I would write this kind of post about Come Back Inn.
This place is an excellent little neighborhood restaurant/ bar. The bar in there is over 100 years old from the prohibition period that is enriched with history that is truly an experience to sit at and enjoy libations with some excellent Italian cuisine.

Cathy was our superb server - great atmosphere & historic decor. I had the Meatball Bake with pasta and my buddy had the Chicken Breast Bake without pasta. Ample portions and wonderful draft craft beer.Plenty of street parking and it has a full bar.

Short review: bring a flashlight, get there as soon as they open, and don’t come hungry it’ll be a while.Long review: Overall was very underwhelmed. We were the second table to be sat as we heard they get very busy so we (group of 5) arrived as soon as they opened. We ordered immediately and it still took well over an hour for our entrees to arrive and the food did not come out together. It took at least 5-10 minutes for the other dishes to arrive which one had to be immediately boxed up because we were short on time. It’s very dark in there so I had to use the light from the tv to be able to see the menu. The dining room is incredibly cramped and even our server couldn’t maneuver to properly serve the table once the restaurant started filling up so she was sliding plates across the table to people she couldn’t reach. Also was repeatedly hit by people going to the bathroom and servers trying to serve other tables due to very little space between tables. The manager definitely oversat the restaurant for the 2/3 servers they had. Our poor server was running everywhere for all the tables she had. We had to flag her down three times for refills, to ask for the check, and to get her to take the check. You could tell she had way too many tables to manage so we tipped her well. As for the food it was just okay. As other reviews say, if you cook Italian food at home this won’t be any better than what you can do. Marinara wasn’t reduced enough and was very watery and way too much cheese on every dish. 2 stars because maybe I came on an off night where there were other issues behind the scenes, like maybe they were short-handed, etc. but I’ll give them another try because they’re local.

Love Come Back Inn. Ambiance, and food are incredible. We frequented the Come Back Inn three times and each time was incredible. We will continue to invite new and old friends and continue to visit the restaurant. Hoping the Inn stays open for many more years to come. The pasta dishes are always good and hearty. The servings are ample size for even two persons to share. We have not tried the pizza yet, though this is planned for future visits.

You have got to check this resturaunt out! It's one of Louisville's little secrets. They have great Italian food, great service and a great atmosphere. It's a small quaint place, and you'll never find better Italian food anywhere!! Check it out. My neice was a Spaghetti Factory fan, tonight, she changed her mind. She is now a 100% "Come Back Inn" fan. She said Spaghetti Factory spaghetti tasted like basic jar spaghetti sauce, and Come Back Inn's Spaghetti was dull of flavor and definitely...the bomb!
