I usually buy it at Lotsa Pasta in L'ville. If you want to make authentic Carbonara, you use Guanciale. It was very pricey, much like all the products that line the shelves.

The taste, and it was overly salty to the point of it being almost inedible. Get it at Lotsa Pasta in Louisville. 79

Three stars for drinks, boosted to four because of the atmosphere and service…read more I had the rosemary's spark, made with gin, green chartreuse, citrus, and singed rosemary. It was okay, but tasted water, was weak in the chartreuse area, and was served in a tall beer glass. Presentation is important with drinks, and I felt like this was a drink I could get from any bar on a street in Savannah or some other southern city. It was only 13 bucks, so I can't complain too much. I also had their strawberry sire spritz, made with strawberry infused aperol, sweet vermouth, prosecco, and an orange slice. I didn't really taste the strawberry and it was a weak, unimpressive spritz. But again, 13 dollars. They also offer mules, drinks with chili infused tequila, tequila, bourbon and fruity purees, a large beer list (a mix of domestics, IPAs, ales, ciders). They have a wine list, but given the names and prices, I would skip it. They have a bar bites menu in which I didn't partake. Located in The Sire Hotel, it's quiet, low key, open, uncrowded. It's close to several downtown bars, so would be a great addition to a bar crawl, but wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

Well, it broke my stereotypes because they had wine, beer, cocktails, and mocktails. I ended up creating my own margarita swirl by mixing the margarita and sangria ($10.16). The price is about the same as most other places, but you get to get your drink whenever you're ready and you can close out quickly by dropping your card in a dropbox or go back up to the register and close out. The ambience is really cool because they had swings at their tables - not all of them but a good portion.

Once you have had a Tony's crab cake, nothing else comes close. Their sides are incredible. We have to get the potato wedges every time we go.

You can't go wrong with their salads either I love the Caesar and the Greek. I always like to try some of the other dishes as well.

Our server gave us the specials and a good explanation of all the food. He was friendly and not too distracting. I will say it was dark in there, but it helped to create the ambience.
