It's sad for Louisville that Decca has decided to close. Decca has consistently provided excellent meals and service each time I've visited and I wish I frequented the restaurant more often while they were open. I enjoyed the marble potatoes, octopus and pork cavatelli on my last visit. They were all cooked and seasoned perfectly. My favorite dish from Decca was the bucatini which consisted of corn, ricotta, brown butter, jalapeño, lime and pancetta. Ugh perfect. Wish I could have it again. Thank you, Decca!

I am so sad that Decca is closing. The food was absolutely incredible, as was the service. My friends and I split two different pasta dishes and the burger. Everything was delicious! The portions are not large for the price, but the flavor is so amazing! The outdoor patio is beautiful and our server was so knowledgeable!!

Overall it was a good meal but not sure I would go back. Everything is individually plated so to have a well rounded meal you need several plates. The quality is amazing, it can just add up. Our waitress was lovely. On the other hand the bartender who greeted us as we came in looked irritated we were there and the pour on our drinks was very meager. For a $15 cocktail I would have expected a little more.

Had the pleasure of dining at Decca one last time. It was the perfect send off. If you can get in before they have their final dinner service I highly recommend you do.
It was bittersweet. After being in NuLu for over 10 years, Decca is closing at the end of September (23Sep2022). This was our final dining experience. As always, it was very memorable. The food and wine were exceptional. I believe Decca has the best wine list in Louisville. The food is always unique and delicious. The decor, atmosphere, and service are the best. We will truly miss it. We sincerely hope they reopen at a new location in Louisville soon.
First time dining at Decca and I'm incredibly sad it's closing! I'm going to try to get another one in before this happens. The staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Please go visit before they close! It's worth it!

Decca has been one of our go-to special restaurants since we moved to town about 10 years ago, and we were sad to hear that it will be closing at the end of September. So we went for dinner for maybe the last time. As always, their cocktail game is top notch, and we enjoyed a leisurely dinner out on the upstairs veranda overlooking the garden. One of their special starters, a stone fruit dish with sweet corn and some kind of whipped ricotta-like cheese, was absolutely to die for, and the half chicken with calabrian chiles was flavorful and delicious. Our server helped us pick out a really interesting Hungarian dessert wine that topped off the meal perfectly. Go before it closes forever!

Heartbreaking that Decca has to close! Shame on the new building owners for booting them! We will miss Decca so much, and we look forward keenly to their reopening somewhere even more wonderful!

Decca did not disappoint! The food was fantastic, I was seriously impressed by this establishment. Our server was such a kind and patient gentleman dealing with 3 indecisive ladies. He offered samples and really helped walk us through our wine decision. He was very knowledgeable about the food and recommendations were spot on as well! I don't think I can pick a favorite dish but the stars for me were the beets, snap peas and bucatini. We also had the olives, chicken and pork chop, all were lovely as well. Do not skip the desert, almond Olive oil cake was out of this world.

We had an excellent experience last night. We've been struggling to find a restaurant in the louisville area that we thoroughly enjoyed start to finish. The food was fantastic. We want to really give a shoutout to Anna (maybe Annie), our server. She was the star of the experience. You could tell she wasn't a typical person that's been in the hospitality industry for a long time ... she genuinely cared about our experience and was a true pleasure to meet. Thank you Anna for 10/10 experience!

We had the stone fruit salad and burgers. They were great though it did take a while to get our food. For example, we got our food and decided to order an extra burger. Took 20 minutes for that burger. We had our kids with us. No kids menu. Only option was buttered noodles which were great. Not really any drink options for kids. Our server was nice and attentive but a little irritated that we had kids with us.

Impeccable service by Anna and amazing food. We were seated outside and the space was peaceful and quiet even though there were other diners nearby. I ordered the mussels which was a different flavor profile. It was called the Garam Masala mussels and it had lentils. Wasn't overly powerful in Indian spices. I really enjoyed the lentils and dipping the bread in the broth. My friend had the burger and she enjoyed it very much. My other dining companions had the salad and pasta dish which they also enjoyed. The hostesses were accommodating and the manager was helpful when my friend forgot her book. We called the restaurant and they found her book and set it aside for us until we came back to pick it up.
This place is incredible! Every dish is unique and extremely delicious. The staff is super attentive. There are several cute boutiques nearby also, so it's a good place to go and then shop around.

We had such a wonderful evening! The patio was gorgeous and set the perfect tone. The service was wonderful and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious... spectacular in fact! This would be all 5 stars and then some except that the portions were quite small, especially for the prices. The pasta we ordered was AMAZING but just a few bites for $28. We shared an appetizer, the pasta, the delicious broccoli ($25 broccoli?!) and 2 desserts + a cocktail and while we were satisfied, we weren't full!!! So beautiful and so delicious...guess we just wanted a little more! Thank you for the beautiful evening
