Their paninis are my favorite, especially the black bean and colby panini. They have a great variety of grocery items, fun cheeses and drinks to choose from.Parking: Park on the side of CVS, it's much easier to get in and out.

The market is fine but I've been wanting to try their coffee shop for a long time. Though the drink was fine, it lacks Italian coffee shop ambience (yes, I've had espresso in Italy). The area itself is fine but they added a wall mount tv which was in use during my visit. Drinks are in take away cups only and the baked items are from other local bakeries. This is not a good place for conversation, work or reading or to feel like you are in Italy. The shop opens late, 10am, for most coffee places, in my opinion.

Was picking up some ingredients and decided to grab lunch. 4 stars solely because the chicken parm sandwich was not their best creation. It's a warm sandwich and the flavors just were not there for me. It got a little soggy and I think my picky eater gene just turned on. I think I'll stick with cold sandwiches from them. I did finally get to try their focaccia, and OH MY GOODNESS. Why did no one tell me that I would sell my soul for a piece of garlic-y bread?? Their garlic focaccia has got to be the best one. It does have large chunks of cooked garlic in it, so if you are not a garlic girl I would maybe try the plainer ones. Also picked up some cannolis-- I'm not sure how frozen cannolis manage to stay so crispy and crunchy but they do. I seriously love this place, whether I'm picking up individual ingredients or grabbing lunch, it's such an amazing spot to go to.

My mom and I went here all the time when I was a kid and we continue to treasure it. I live out of town now and Lotsa Pasta is a MUST VISIT every time I come home. The paninis are a must and their fresh frozen pastas are also wonderful. The Spicy Red Wine Pasta Sauce is super yummy and each sandwich they have I highly recommend.

Special shout out to Lotsa Pasta for help with my elderly mother and a gift order she had placed. Yesterday (Friday before Xmas) I had to got to the store to pick up a gift card she had called and ordered a few days prior. The store was MOBBED with a line 20 people deep at both the deli and at the cash register. Even finding someone to help me figure out WHERE to go to pick up the card was a challenge. A very kind guy behind deli tried to track the card down but could not find it; he turned me over to a manager for the store who also patiently searched in vain for record of the card order. All while literally dozens of crazy shoppers and the staff were frantically milling around us. After realizing there was some mistake and the card could not be found, rather than make my mother (who is 94) call in again to re order it, they simply GAVE ME a 75$ card and wrote down the name/last four digits of card number and said 'they'd look again later'. . . meantime sent me on my way with the card for my mom. THAT is customer service. Its always been a high quality store in terms of product but I experienced first hand the high quality service in a very challenging moment - well done!
It's expensive, but worth it on nights I want to make a good dinner, but don't have the energy. Some of the younger people could do with some customer service training.

Love Lotsa Pasta. The sandwiches and soups are great!

My FAVORITE place to get anything Italian in the city! Can't go wrong with grabbing a panini while shopping for all of your authentic grocery staples! My personal fav is the black bean and Colby panini with jalapeño cream cheese but you can't go wrong with anything there!

Louisville is lucky to have a treasure like this. If you haven't been, then you don't like food.

It's usually first rate, but adding leftover short rib meat to the Bolognese sauce isn't the bonus they think it is. In fact, some chefs might say it ruins it.
