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.

    We love the food and live music but the noise was so loud we couldn’t hear it. The server, Corey, was fabulous! A large group of women who were seated next to us were loud disruptive. Overall we love Giuseppe’s and will be back, just not during Christmas.

    Our food was amazing and so was our server, but we were sat 25 minutes after our reservation time. About six parties the same size, who came in after us, were sat before us. We all had children to get home to, so that was frustrating. Overall, good experience.

    We were seated quickly and our server Ricky was at our table right away. He was a very good server throughout the night. Our meals were hot and delicious, and the dessert was amazing! Can't wait to goback!

    Enjoyable evening at this establishment. Excellent service and food. Noise level was high due to multiple large groups but that was to be expected during the holiday season.

    Service was slow, waiter seemed preoccupied and took far longer than it should to greet and take drink order, food was very good, seemed understaffed which meant long delay in ordering and follow up, atmosphere was good
