    I grew up in Russell Kentucky in the 70's and 80' where Giovanni's is an obsession for my generation. And I attended college in Grayson where there is a similar following among alumni. A large percentage of my high school friends have Giovanni's for Thanksgiving Eve when going home for the holidays. I was excited to hear it was coming three miles from my Louisville/Jtown home. Lunch today did not disappoint. They are definitely putting their best foot forward with their buffet today. Their chef salad was always a favorite of mine and the salad bar is stocked well for making one including the very popular red dressing. The buffet pizza is never going to be as good as getting an 18 inch pizza. It's just different. But they had lots of hot fresh choices with plenty of their good sauce and cheese. The crust just isn't the same as a 18 incher. They also have pasta and garlic bread as good as back in the day. And several sweet treats. Lots of folks don't know about their family sized pasta. It's a great price for dinner at home or taking to a potluck. The only bad thing of having a store so close is having self control. Thus location is more city priced which helps with my self control. $15 is more than I want to spend regularly for lunch. $16 isn't as bad for dinner time but that is the going rate now a days.

    Salad and pizza.

As someone who formerly lived in a town with a million italian restaurants, this place is just ok. We came on a saturday night. The host was welcoming and sat us immediately. Our server was kind, attentive, and offered recommendations for my husband who couldn't decide. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. So it was pleasant being there. The table bread and oil were tasty and fresh. The caesar was delicious and not over-dressed. My husband liked the Pasta Bravo (the dish our server recommended for him). I had their Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and it was just fine. I could've made a better one at home but it wasn't bad. The servings sizes are pretty typical of an italian place (about 2 adult servings per dish) so we both got to take our leftovers home. The place is fairly well priced. Our bill at the end was about $55 plus tip. I'll likely come back and try their other dishes, but I do wish there were more italian options in this part of Louisville.

So we went to Bravos for dinner and it was lovely! My Chicken Parmesan was prepared exactly as I wanted it, with Alfredo sauce on the pasta. Phil chose the Pasta Woozy. Savannah was our server and she was outstanding. We had met her before and she even remembered the table we had set at. The food was even better than it had ever been. About 4 times that night their Gen. Mgr. Dino and the Chef/Manager Stephen stopped by our booth to check on us and to thank us for coming. They then brought us our desserts. Philip had a Butterscotch Bread Pudding topped with vanilla gelato. Chef Michael searched back through some of Bravo's seasonal desserts and made a mixed Berry Cake for the holidays. It was scrumptious! I've never had such a wonderful dessert. I even saved some to bring home. It was wonderful seeing Mike and Dino again. I told them several times how great it was being there with them and their terrific staff on Christmas Evening. It was an unforgettable night. Robyn

Service was excellent, including with our server and all supporting staff (drink refills, food runners, and bussers). Menu is extensive and something for every taste. Items are clearly described and nutritional info is included, which is greatly appreciated. Our meal started with warm sliced bread and table-side olive oil and seasonings for dipping. This was a bit salty, but also nicely herbaceous and tasty. I started with a salad and Parmesan cream dressing, which was delicious. Salad included pitted Kalamata olives and nicely dressed. I chose the seasonal menu item of lamb chops cooked medium and sides of steamed broccoli and also spinach. The entire meal was a great treat and really enjoyed each item. My fellow diners had orders of salmon, calamari, and various pasta entrees. Everyone was complimentary of their orders. Plentiful free parking and easy accessibility. Noise level was mild to moderate for a Friday night at near full capacity dining. Restrooms were clean and fully stocked. Looking forward to return visits.

I looked at their menu online and I saw that at the Hurstbourne location they had happy hours from 4-6 PM and there were 2 of the most wonderful looking appetizers. So we made reservations for 5:30 and when we got there we were seated immediately even though there was a lobby full of people. The lobby/bar area was a bit loud due to the March Madness playoffs were on but as we were nearing the dining section, it got quiet and we were quite relaxed. Our server was Breanna V. She was at our table before I had my jacket was off. She was so sweet and so helpful. She helped us decide on our sides. We chose the Lasagna Dip with Pita Chips and Spinach Dip with a Tomato Cream base. These items are not always on the Happy Hour list, so don't blame me if it's not available! LOL! At the time we were eating at Carrabba's these appetizers were $5-$7. We decided to share an entree since we had 2 appetizers and our meal came with a salad which Breanna brought out on 2 salad plates. We had the Pollo Rosa Maria and it was so delicious! Wood-grilled chicken stuffed with fontina cheese and prosciutto, topped with mushrooms and our basil lemon butter sauce. (We chose to not have the mushrooms on ours.) Breanna was always close by for bringing the next course, refills, or replacing the napkins that slid to the floor. The runner who brought drinks to the tables always smiled as she would stop at tables. She looked like she loved her job. When we were finished with our meal, there was one more item to top everything.. A slice of Sogno di Cioccolata (Chocolate Dream). A rich fudge brownie with chocolate mousse, fresh whipped cream and chocolate sauce. We were as full as we could be, but we didn't want to be rude, so we took a couple of bites and brought the rest of it home to finish that night. I have to say this meal was the most favorite choices that we've had. Thank you Breanna for your service and Carrabba's for my dining rewards and Birthday treat!! Robyn

There's lots of light inside and a wonderful outdoor patio for warm days. We started with the calamari appetizer. This is one dish that hasn't changed since the Napa days. It has a very fine breadcrumb coating, served with a creamy tartar sauce and a zesty marinara. Fantastic! The best in Louisville, in my opinion. My husband had the pasta bolognese . It was very rich, but good. I had the lasagna. At first glance, I thought to myself that nobody should have let it out of kitchen. Someone put it under broiler way too long, edges were black and it was very dry. I later took it home, added some marinara, sliced the burnt parts off. It was constructed perfectly, very thin layers, not overstuffed. Just overdone. I think next time we will try a seafood dish. Service was prompt and friendly.
