    Unintentionally, 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.

    Dinner for 4. Our wait staff were wonderful, especially our primary server, Tyler. If lobster thermidor is on the menu, we recommend it. The grilled romaine salad is delicious. The smoked bourbon cocktail is fun and tasty. The key lime pie was very good, as was the butterscotch budino. Overall a great dining experience and is highly recommended.

    Michael and Tate were fantastic! They were friendly, attentive and made it a very special date night for us. The bar staff was so great we even came back later in the evening for a drink and to get dessert to go. We had multiple encounters with management as well and they were all so welcoming and helpful. We’ll be back to Jeff Ruby’s when we’re back in Louisville.

    My 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.
