- DDanvipAtlanta Metro •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoUnintentionally, Vincenzo’s has become a day-after-Thanksgiving tradition for my family. We come to Louisville to celebrate a whirlwind Thanksgiving week with tons of extended family, laughter, and love… but Friday night is just for the 4 of us. For 3 years in a row now, we’ve taken our two young children here for a quiet dinner where we can decompress from a busy week’s talk about the best parts of our Thanksgiving, and really connect with each other. This year, Stephen took care of us, and he treated my kids like absolute royalty. They can’t stop talking about this “best meal ever” Thank you for such a special night. We can’t wait to come back and share more special evenings together.More infoVincenzo's Italian RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown Louisville•4.8

- TTomCentral Kentucky •1 review5.0Dined on 22 Nov 2024My favorite Louisville restaurant. We had taken my Mom to the original location a few times. This was our first time to visit the new location. We live in Lexington but were in the neighborhood to see a band at The Whirling Tiger. Try those unique plantain chips with a few salsas and guacamole and queso.More infoGuacamole Modern MexicanPrice: Moderate• Mexican• East Market St - NuLu•4.8
