They need to expand to a larger place. Can never get a reservation on short notice.
Excellent, as always
Seated in the bar area with a lively atmosphere and live jazz โฆslightly loud, but exactly what we expected. We were warmly greeted by our server, Ricky, who set the tone for a great evening. We started with martinis, all perfectly prepared and gen
Music, muscles, and mood.
Not the, like, "I've got muscles" type of muscles.. More like the "I've got a pretty good dish with mussels in it" type of... muscles. But, like, that's not the same kind of mussels. I like mussels, but not necessar
Enjoyed our 1st anniversary dinner here.
Exquisite food, excellent drinks, mouth watering red velvet cake, we had leftovers and were completely full. Will definitely be back.
Delicious food and great atmosphere.
Never had a bad meal. One of Lexington's Gold Stars!
We stopped here on a busy Saturday evening.
My partner in crime didn't want to wait for a table so, we opted to sit at the bar. So glad we did. The bartenders were an absolute pleasure. We enjoyed every part of this meal. The arancini were delish. I enjoyed the halibut special. It was co

Such a great place to celebrate a birthday! Our waiter was super nice and gave great food recommendations! Gnocchi was my pick, the two sauces were so good mixed together!
God I love Giuseppe's.
The food is always incredible and service is always so quick. We tried a special of pan seared halibut with linguini in a lemon caper sauce and it was perfectly cooked. We also tried the gnocchi appetizer with both sauces which were absolutely delici

Hands down the best Italian food in Lex.
Cozy corner booth near the wall of wine. Nice atmosphere. Service was spotty was fine. Ravioli was smothered in a rich tomato and basil sauce. Outstanding! Shrimp cocktail and calamari were delicious!
If you want Italian, this is excellent
Good cocktails and wine. Delicious food. The calamari is lightly breaded; crunchy with NO rubbery. Very relaxing, comfortable, upscale atmosphere.

Bad management
I love this restaurant! Food and service are always great. Tonight, however, the hostess reluctantly put a plaque on or table 10 minutes after we arrived indicating it was reserved for 8:00. Our reservations were for 6:00. So incredibly rude. Put it
Average fare
Expected great Italian food but sadly was just average. Clam dish had fishy tasting clams in shell and appeared to have canned calms in major portion of dish.

Tucked away in a quiet rural spot, Giuseppe's is an enjoyable dining experience with an upscale, yet family feel. The service is attentive and warm. Meals are tasty and come out on time. Overall, it presents a good experience.
Great staff, quick and responsive service.
The food is amazing. Every time my wife and I visit Lexington we always make reservations. It is truly the best Italian we've ever had. The ambiance is nice, would recommend going in early for a quieter meal but if you don't mind happy customers bein
Great Italian
Nice atmosphere. A little expensive but food is delicious . Bring you crusty bread with dipping oil and spices. Had arancini appetizer. Ordered chicken parm and spaghetti with meat sauce. The meat sauce may be the best I have ever had. Our family
Amazing food as expected.
Our waitress Autumn was perfect. This was our first trip but we'll be back. You can't go wrong here.
One of my favorite restaurants in Lexington area.
Kind of hidden, but you will not be disappointed!! Food is delicious.
A memorable evening.
Ok - itโs hard to find but definitely worth the hunt ! First time here but wonโt be the last. Food is exceptional. Salads are huge and lasagna and pork chop both fantastic. Corey was our server and 5 star. Very knowledgeable about food and win
Thank you, Giuseppe, for a wonderful evening.

This is the freshest tasting pasta and sauce in Lexington.
Make sure to make a reservation as it gets busy!
From the moment we entered, I knew this was a special place.
The service, atmosphere, and the food were all 5 star. We were in town to run a 5K at Run the Bluegrass and called last minute for a reservation. We got in within 30 minutes and were definitely so glad we called. It was the best spaghetti bolognes

Definitely feels tradition on the inside. Bolognese and Ravioli are my faves!
Excellent food and service!
We visited for Valentineโs Day once again, with zero disappointments. Autumn took exceptional care of us! The sea bass is consistently good! We highly suggest it! The calamari was excellent as well. We love the jazzy musician and the ambiance.

Is love this place mainly because I feel like it's taking a step back in time. Love the location tucked away, food is great, martini's are dirty, and service is classic!
A very nice place.
Great atmosphere. The service was 5-stars. The food was equally good and delicious. Wonderfully prepared. The restrooms are clean and well kept. Always important at a restaurant. We went with a group of 4 and were extremely pleased. We all
Very good food! Friendly service , relaxed atmosphere.
Everyone in my group liked their food. I Will return.
I have tried for two years to get in here.

The best Italian restaurant with best ambiance in Lexington.
It took so many years of living in Lex and going to more obvious/less satisfying Italian restaurants before finally going past Man-O-War to try out Giuseppe's. Lively place, NICE SEATINGS (very important to me - are you like me and HATE those tiny t

Midiocre food and expensive noot worth it.
Prepare to be disappointed. Very expensive and not that good. We bought into all the TV ads. We'll not be back.
Top Notch
What a hidden gem! Great dinner. I highly recommend the frutti do mare. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfectly spicy and creamy. I also had a perfect Caesar salad including anchovies. My server Julia was amazing! So attentive
No Guarantees, Even With a Reservation
Not the place for a classy dining experience. We had a quiet dinner two years ago, so we made a reservation well in advance, noting it was for an anniversary. We arrived ten minutes early and were greeted politely at the front desk, the hostess wis

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Giuseppe's Ristorante Italiano Lexington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Giuseppe's Ristorante Italiano Lexington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Giuseppe's Ristorante Italiano Lexington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Giuseppe's Ristorante Italiano Lexington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
