  • Neighborhood gem
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 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

    Dirty gin martini was excellent, my date and I waited at the bar while our reservation time. The special lobster gnocchi was the best part of the meal. They also brought out cake for my dates birthday, and it was great. Gives every top restaurant in Lexington a run for their money!

    As usual, our favorite restaurant delivered a delicious meal! The cosmos were delicious and the soups and the chicken piccata were perfect. Devin, per usual, was the most attentive and friendly server. The best date night restaurant in Lexington and beyond!
