There’s a quiet country road hiding near one of Lexington’s busiest intersections. Tucked down the lane in a tree-lined cove, Giuseppe’s has been serving great Italian cuisine serenaded by live music for the last 25 years. Renowned for its fresh fish and seafood, hand-cut steaks, traditional and contemporary pasta dishes, homemade desserts and extensive wine list, Giuseppe’s captures its guests with the ambiance of candlelight, easy sounds of slow jazz and a taste of passion which flows from your fork, making every dish its own invitation to return. Whether you prefer a table in the main dining room, the lounge, or the patio, Giuseppe’s is the perfect romantic spot for dates and anniversaries, and it’s also a favorite for large gatherings of family and friends. Giuseppe’s Private Dining Room provides a relaxed, intimate venue for business and social events. That is how something so hidden still stands out, and that is why those who find us return again and again.

    Food and service is always excellent. We go to Giuseppe’s frequently and have never had a bad meal. They usually have fresh halibut as their fish special which is always great. Their non pasta meals come with soup or salad and a vegetable and the portions are large enough for us to split a meal. They charge $5 to split a meal but each person gets 1/2 the meat/fish and a regular portion of soup or salad and side vegetable which is a great deal.

    Fabulous food and drinks! We ordered a variety of salads and entrees and all were excellent! Our server, Ryan, was outstanding! He answered all of our questions with a great personality and smile and never seemed annoyed or in a hurry! The martinis are the best in Lexington! Overall a great experience and you can find something on the menu for everyone that will certainly be pleasing!

    We took our granddaughter for her birthday, along with two of her friends. We all had a great time. Our sever was excellent and very attentive. The girls loved the red velvet cake that my granddaughter received for her birthday treat. This is our favorite place for special occasions.
