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.

    Delores was the BEST server we’ve had at any restaurant in a long time. She understands how to speak to people which most do not know how to do these days. We appreciated her and will definitely request her every time we go.

    This 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!!!

    First time there. Seated promptly at reservation time. Server was prompt, but not smothering. Checked with kitchen about possible nut allergy. Everyone was between well pleased and thrilled with their meals. Definitely going back.
