First experience here wasn’t the best. Celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary and requested a little bit more private area for dining and that wasn’t honored. Everywhere prior to this place has been able to accommodate very nicely. Our waiter was nice, besides overflowing my water glass and getting the tablecloth soaking wet. I ordered the cup of beef stew for my side and it was absolutely delicious. The main course, not so much. Unfortunately, it was terrible. I ordered the CONCHIGLIONI DI STEPHANO $26, which is… Pasta shells stuffed with chicken and ricotta cheese, baked with marinara and provolone. It sounded amazing, however the chicken is ground chicken! Like taco meat. It was extremely dry and overly seasoned. The cheese wasn’t melted at all and the only creamy part about it was the

For the past ten years we've made a tradition of visiting a dear friend in Lexington while traveling south. Sometimes it's just a one-night stop, sometimes a few days, but we always take her out for a proper dinner. This trip, arriving from Chicago and following my chiropractor's enthusiastic recommendation, we chose Giuseppe's, and it turned out to be a very lovely evening. The space is warm and inviting, with plenty of wood, cozy lighting, and an impressive display of bourbons and wines that immediately sets a welcoming tone. We started with gnocchi and mozzarella alla milanese. The gnocchi were nicely al dente and the paired sauces complemented each other well. My husband and I shared the daily special, halibut with a light creamy caper sauce. The fish leaned slightly overcooked, but

My friends and I went to Giuseppe‘s last night for our Galentine‘s celebration. We had a table of six and to be honest we had a delightful time. Company truly makes the event. Our server was wonderful, attentive, and personable. The appetizers were delicious and beautifully plated. I wasn’t pleased with the Castle and Key Dirty Gin Martini, but only because I want to drink my martini as dirty as pond water… that’s not on them…(and! My delightful waiter brought me extra brine.) My concern/problem is that I ordered the Oven Roasted Sea Bass and I am 99.9% sure I was not served Sea Bass. And at $65 a plate I expect a sweet, dense, buttery, melting in my mouth filet of actual Sea Bass! I did not receive that and I was grossly disappointed! I wanted to complain, but didn’t want to seem cheap

★★★★★ 5.0 David Reesman · Mar 2026

We go here every year to celebrate our anniversary with a great dinner wonderful service some good wine and a little live jazz music. Recommended requesting to be sat near the live music/bar area as it is well worth it. Highly recommendaking reservations in advance for the weekend to get the live jazz and they need to be booked 2-3 weeks in advance to get the time slot that will work best for you and your party. Holidays you might want to book even sooner than that. Recommended the chilean sea bass if they have it or there oven roasted sea bass if you can swing the price. Worth every penny.

★★★★★ 5.0 Darren Royse · Jan 2026

I've been to about every "high end' restaurant in Lex and Cincinnati. Tonight I had the BEST entrée I've ever had. The Sea Bass at Giuseppes is absolutely out of this world. Flavor for days, and literally melts in your mouth. Also had the best desert ever, the butter toffee something was spectacular!! Go!!!
