33 Best Italian Restaurants in Lexington

“A very pleasant atmosphere, very delicious food, good customer service, very polite and attentive waiters. I definitely recommend this restaurant, which also bears my father's name. I will return as many times as I can. More than five stars.“

“I haven't been to a Fazoli's in about twenty years and this location absolutely exceeded all my memories. Excellent customer service, the cashier let us know about promotions.Great food, I had the loaded fettuccini, much better than I remembered. I really wish this there were more Fazoli's in the rest of the country.“

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

“Attended the Springtime Dinner tonight. It was wonderful. The service was great! Zach and Shannon were just amazing. We are looking forward to the next one.“

“Food was great, and the service was fantastic! Server came by several times to be sure we had everything we needed. Great place to eat.“

“Today I was helped by the sweethearted betty, from the moment walking in I was greeted with a welcoming smile and help on finding what to order. The order was placed and had came out almost immediately. I fully recommend coming to this location and getting served by this wonder of joy!“

“Connie was our server and she did awesome! we came in when they first opened as we had a very early appointment for our son at UK. she was prompt, answered all our questions and interacted with our little one. food was great but service was better!“

“The food was excellent. Service was good. I would give 5 stars, but the women's restroom has a significant ceiling leak. The floor was wet and couldn't find a place to stand where water would not splash on your head. I reported this to a staff member and she acknowledged that management was aware, but it was too difficult to fix. There was no sign and no alternative. I don't know why they wouldn't just close down the women's and make the men's room a "family restroom" one at a time until they decide to fix this. Shows a total lack of concern for their customers.“

“Great Atmosphere and delicious food!“

“The service is outstanding and the food is delicious with large portions. The calamari is fantastic but you will need 3-4 people to eat it. The first time there I ordered the grouper chef special dinner. My mother ordered the mahi chef special. Both were delicious. The cannolis were fantastic with the extra orange zest in the filling. The second time I ate dinner with my husband for our anniversary and I ordered the salmon dish and my husband ordered a veal dish with a reduction sauce. Both dishes were outstanding. For dessert we ordered the tartufo. I had never heard of it and was intrigued. I did not regret it. So very good and highly recommend this dessert covered in dark chocolate with raspberry, pistachio and dark chocolate gelato.“

“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!"“

“We had one of the sweetest servers in forever. She had only been here for 3 months but she worked so hard to make us feel like we were wanted customers. If I owned a business I would hire her and put her in charge of customer service. The food was good and that is why we went, but 13.99 endless pasta bowl really isn't true because it's 4.99 extra for add anything you are going to add. However, I would go back and pay extra for the chance to have the best service I have had in a very long time. I don't remember her name but if you see a pretty, young lady with long reddish hair and she is slender watch where she walks and ask for her section, you will not be disappointed.“

“We love everything about this place! The servers are sweet, knowledgeable, and on the ball, the atmosphere is old-world but clean, and the food is so good I'm pretty sure if I peeked into the kitchen I'd see a team of Nonas stirring all the pots. Our new favorite in Lexington 💚“

“Great food and a friendly staff“

“Great customer service tonight! The cashier was very friendly and helpful! Environment was great. Restaurant was very clean and well maintained! And our food was out to us in about 5 minutes! Wonderful experience! Thank you, Fazolis!“

“My wife and I had no where else to go and Fazolis were able to feed my family of four, and have felt very welcomed. Now we can go home with grub in our belly's and have a great night feeling happy.

Dietary restrictions: Friendly and works through individuals situation

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“I work a few doors down at The Rooster's Nest Barbershop so Damiano has become an absolute favorite for me. They have never once missed with quality of food and service. It's always clean and the vibe is relaxed with sports on TV and decor. The Milanese pizza is the best,ask for some garlic butter it's a great compliment to the flavors of this pizza.“

“The best authentic Chicago-style deep dish in the area! We’ve been waiting for a place like this and it’s perfect. We’ve picked it up and dined in. Both times the food and customer service were absolutely amazing! This will be a regular spot for us moving forward.“

“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 love their calzones! Highly Recommend“

“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“

“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.“

“Some of the best pizza 🍕 ever. Everyone must try the BBQ chicken it really is to die for.“

“I would like to say that there is a certain server who keeps me coming back. Idk whether it's spelt "Christy" or "Kristy" in her case, but she is a very sweet waitress and is always brightening my visits. She gives me better customer service than not only anybody who's ever waited on me at Puccini's, but better than anybody who's ever waited on me anywhere I have been out to eat. I totally recommend you go there and support her as someone who can give the same type of service to you.“

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

“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“

“I’ve been a customer to this location even before they switched to the Giovanni’s brand . The people who run this location has been awesome to my family and I for so many years now which is why we continue to go back . They’re respectful , courteous, and always make sure our food is top notch . Customer for life“

“This store, alongside other Sir Pizzas in Lexington, needs a major renovation.
Surely, it brings back memories. However, it is a dark and dingy store.
They have updated the music box, and they have a decent sound system.
Seating, tables, and walls, even the ceiling, all need a major update.
As far as food prices go, I do believe they are equally competitive with others. Maybe even a little under.
Talking with employees the pay is definitely low.
Now, on the good side, the pizza is delicious, and thanks for the trip back to the 70s.“

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

“Wow!! Never ever eaten at Jet's before...One of the best Hawaiian pizzas I have EVER eaten. With popcorn chicken!I'm not a fan of Chicago deep dish, yet this Detroit style thick crust is EXCELLENT!Fresh! Ready for take out! Great Price for such a large, thick pizza.Well done. Will be coming back, again and again!“

“So I went to Carino’s for the first time today and I’d have to say that our waiter Jackson went above and beyond for the group I went with. I can honestly say I’ve never had such a good experience at any other restaurant than what I had there. The food was really good and and showed up pretty quick. If anyone hasn’t tried Carino’s you definitely need to go to the one on Sir Barton in Lexington,Ky and hopefully you can experience Jackson and the service he provides.“

“Today I ordered a half pepperoni and three meats pizza plus cheesy bread. OMG, it was so GOOD! It was made right and We love Little Ceasars’s. They made my day!“

“Great place to have pizza and drinks. Waitress was super nice, sweet and funny. Will come visit again. Worth the drive from Cali.“
