- AAdrienneCentral Kentucky •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was my 2nd time here. The first time I went with a group of girlfriends and we were blown out of the water. The second time I just had to bring my husband so we could experience it together ans it even better then my memory served me. It's very rare that food lives up to the memory you had and also the hope you give it. My husband was beyond just pleasantly surprised even at one point he threw his utensil down in approval but only after his eyes rolled back in his head. Thank you for the great service, mind blowing flavors and living up to what I had already had built up in my memory and more!!!More infoGiuseppe's Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lexington•4.8

- JjackieVIPCentral Kentucky •13 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoYour live music is just too loud. It should be background and not his personal concert. I have been to Frank and Dino before and I thought the same thing. I love the live music and he is very good! It’s just a little too loud. I talked to others and they say the same thing.More infoFrank and Dino'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lexington•4.7
