Great for fine wines

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.

Outstanding as usual. I had the Chicken Pepperoni for the first time, and it was delicious. Also, the Mushrooms stuffed with Italian Sausage is amazing.

We had a wonderful time! Our server, Autumn was very knowledgeable about the menu and very conversational and friendly. Bar was clean, ambient, and the bartenders were exceptional. We had the stuffed mushroom and gnocchi starters and they were excellent and perfect for sharing! The lobster ravioli and frutti de mare were delicious! We were treated with a special red velvet cake birthday dessert for my grandmother and we also got the cannoli and raspberry cheesecake desserts and they were amazing. Love the atmosphere and service at Guiseppe’s!

Loved the experience! The only complaint I would have is how loud it was, drink people screaming at the bar. Other than that it was great!
