I am in Lexington on business, Monday thru Friday, until August. People have said "you need to get out and try our restaurants". Those who travel for business know that it is easier said than done. Finally I thought I would seek out best Italian in Lexington. Giuseppe's is it! I sat on the bar side and so I not... More

Giuseppe's Ristorante Italiano is not exactly on Nicholasville Rd as its address indicates, but is just a few hundred feet off it (to the south) on OLD Nicholasville Rd. The restaurant is on the right (west) of this road. Their web site is http://giuseppeslexington.com/. Reservations are suggested (and were needed). We arrived essentially on time and were seated immediately. The... More

We lucked out and got a table shortly after they opened for the night. Wanted to take my sisters out for a nice dinner to celebrate a thesis defense. Our server was so nice. And it turns out bottles of wine are half off Mondays :) We got the funghi al forno & the arancini (this was half off as... More

We chose Giuseppe's for a special occasion and were reasonably happy with the meal. Their dining room is much nicer than their web site pictures portray. It is quaint and quiet, with some nice touches that make a cozy atmosphere (the owner said they recently painted and remodeled and need to update pictures!). Our server was charming, sweet and attentive.... More

We ate here for our wedding anniversary last year. We were seated right next to the kitchen, which was disappointing considering we had reservations and were there for a special occassion. The food was really not good, which was very disappointing. We'd eaten here before, but it wasn't anythink like I remembered. Won't be going back.

Great selection, great food. Not inexpensive. (A glass of wine might run $12, a bottle $40) A quality Italian restaurant and a place you can take someone to impress -- like family, date, client. This was our 4th time for a family dinner -- consistently excellent (but I don't pick up the bill)...

Elegant Italian dining in a Lexington favorite. Just off Nicholasville Road, but still a bit hard to find. Always packed after UK games, the upscale atmosphere offers a fine dining experience. Sunday brunch is popular. Entrees are very good, but not inspired. Prices are moderate. This is an especially good place to meet UK Fan friends for dinner.

Giuseppe's is the premier Italian restaurant in central Kentucky. The menu choices are wide, including lovely fresh seafood (their seabass and scallops dishes are my favorites), unique and non-cafeteria line pasta dishes, salads and desserts. The wine selection is tops. We have made this our annual anniversary celebration spot for the last 6 years, and on those occasions as well... More
