    Great lunch option. Service is always quick! We ordered the lunch pizza and side. I got the chicken soup and a Margherita pizza. All so fresh and delicious.

    Lasagna!

    Best pizza in Lexington hands down! I love coming here. They have wood fired pizza, delicious pastas, soup and salad. Today we decided to come for lunch. Since it was such a gorgeous day we sat on the patio. The patio isn't big only a handful of tables but it's a nice option. The staff are always so friendly. I got the pepperoni pizza with smash sauce and a Caesar salad. Smash sauce is their spicy sauce. It's delicious. The salad also comes with music sheet bread which is sprinkled with fresh herbs. I like to dip it in olive oil and herbs that they readily available by the counter. Definitely check this place out!

    12" Smashed Dante
    Jamie S.

    Stopped by on the way out of town because it was the best rated place closest. It did not disappoint! Having recently been to NYC, we were impressed with these pizzas. The Dante was incredibly tasty and beat out the margarita pizza in flavor and overall appeal. We ordered the 12" and there was plenty food to filly a belly! The margarita didn't quite live up to my NY expectations but it wasn't bad. If we went again I'd do the Dante or try something else. The staff was super friendly, the location was clean, and nice interior design. We really liked it there!

    This place was a delight. Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, this place has a wood burning pizza oven. Tasty pizza and salad. Friendly service. This was a great stop on our journey.

    We tried the tiramisu tonight

    Smashing tomato is always one of my most favorite places to eat in Lexington! The pizza is top notch and they always have new flavors. Today the fall menu is featured and the fig pizza is incredible!!! We tried the tiramisu and that was the only thing that was disappointing. Not fresh and soggy The affogato was so good and service was stellar as usual!

    In Lexington for work, tried Smashing Tomato out for the first time. Very clean and warm environment. I had the calzone carryout. I should have swapped out the ricotta cheese for mozzarella but overall it was great flavor! Little more done than I like but that wasn't a problem, I like crispy crust. Friendly employees and carryout was on time and hot! If I'm in the area again I'll certainly go there again.

    We had a birthday get together and everything was delicious! The team of employees worked to provide us great service. We were a large group. The restaurant was cozy, yet roomy enough for us to sit on one side of the restaurant. We had the chopped salad and artichoke dip for appetizers (YUM!) A selection of different pizzas. My personal favorite was Sweet Beast. Others loved the BBQ chicken and Gorgacon. Actually every pizza was delicious! We finished with the Tiramisu and it was yummy!

    First time at Giuseppe's since moving to Lexington. Appetizers and mains (arancini and mussel…read moreappetizers and veal piccata and scampi aglio and olio) were really outstanding. Salads ( Caesar and Gorgonzola) were forgettable- neither of us finished. Enjoyable space. It was busy and lively without being overwhelming loud. Negative is parking. Not sure when they have extensive parking lots they make you choose between parking on side of narrow street or paying $10 for valet parking. Even on a busy night one parking lot was empty but blocked off with sign saying valet only.

Sometimes it's just a one-night stop, sometimes a few days, but we always take her out for a proper dinner. This trip, arriving from Chicago and following my chiropractor's enthusiastic recommendation, we chose Giuseppe's, and it turned out to be a very lovely evening. The space is warm and inviting, with plenty of wood, cozy lighting, and an impressive display of bourbons and wines that immediately sets a welcoming tone. We started with gnocchi and mozzarella alla milanese. The gnocchi were nicely al dente and the paired sauces complemented each other well. My husband and I shared the daily special, halibut with a light creamy caper sauce. The fish leaned slightly overcooked, but the flavors were still very enjoyable, and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly done. Our friend ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, and after one bite I understood her happiness... rich, creamy, and comforting. Dessert became a celebration: a Spumoni Bomba (three gelatos wrapped in a chocolate shell) and a warm maple cake with ice cream that was honestly sinful in the best way. Our server, Tim, didn't make the strongest first impression but warmed up quickly becoming attentive and pleasant. Cocktails could use a little more polish, my Old Fashioned was a bit harsh, and I was surprised a Boulevardier wasn't available despite a Negroni being on the menu and bourbon well represented. Overall, a very good experience and a wonderful dinner with friends, not bad at all for just a brief stop in town.

They have the best NY style pizza around the area. With so many change restaurants around having this place nearby is great. If you get there early you can see them tossing the dough in the air to form the perfect base. We ordered the extra large with half black olive and half sausage. It's the perfect balance of crust, sauce and cheese. As we were eating we were mumbling this is so good. They also offer pasta dishes. The spaghetti and lasagna are so good. The pasta is served with these buttery garlic bread knots. So good. This place is mostly set up for take out. There's a couple tables if you really wanted to eat in. This is seriously a great place. The owner is so passionate about his pizza. If you're looking for a real pizza place this is your spot.

Instead of red sauce they use olive oil and garlic and you put it all together it's absolutely magical. My absolute favourite pizza. Their couple of appetizers that I have pictured (chicken tenders and loaded fries) are good but not on the level of their pizza. In any case if you want the best New York style pizza that I know of in the Cincinnati Tri State area then Noce's is your place. Just be ready to take it home or get it on Grubhub because it has no eat in options.
