Best Italian Restaurants in South Louisville

In Louisville for the weekend and so happy we went to DiFabio’s for dinner. The best Italian meal we have had in a long time! Highly recommend for anyone looking for high quality food and great service!!!

We started the night elsewhere for cocktails, but the "Smokey and Dangerous" cocktail we had here was the best thing we drank all night. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the Cassoulette was an outstanding entree that we are still talking about days later. The service was thoughtful and all the staff we interacted with were very kind. I enjoyed the dark ambience and cozy table settings. Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding service, meal and ambiance! Mark B is the most attentive and knowledgeable server. His wine recommendations are on point. The food is always inventive, fresh and delicious. You really must put this place into your rotation. It never disappoints.

Great food. It was hot. It was well timed. It was delicious. Short ribs and shrimp with pasta. Great selections. Food and wine. Attentive employees. Sincerely friendly. Is there anything you can do about the acoustics? Very difficult to converse without really yelling. If I owned the facility, I would seek professional help with sound dampening.

We absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was charming, and our waiter, Parker, was not only sweet but also incredibly knowledgeable. We started with Old Fashioneds featuring Habanero Bitters—a creative and delightful twist on a classic cocktail. For appetizers, the Crawfish Bayou Dip was absolutely delicious. The seasonal salad was light, crisp, and the perfect prelude to our entrees. From the Bayou menu, we tried the Jambalaya and the Etouffée, both of which were bursting with flavor and exceeded our expectations. Everything was impeccable, and we can’t wait to return the next time we’re in Louisville!
