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've been eating here for years and this is my first review. The first time we ate here was Valentine's Day several years ago. They typically have Crawfish Etouffee this time of year as a special. It's fantastic, this year it wasn't available. I did however get shrimp and grits which are always fantastic. The bread pudding is fantastic as well. We've been to eat elsewhere in town and came in for a bourbon barrel ale and desert. It's always a nest place for lunch or brunch as well the outdoor area is nice. As far as Palmer's if reading this review please bring back your oyster rockefeller!

    Our very favorite place for dinner, especially for special occasions. Ryan, our server could not have been nicer. Our food was, as always, wonderfully prepared and presented. The entire staff is professional and welcoming. Thanks for another very enjoyable evening.

    Good salmon meal served on a warm plate. Good flavor and warm from first bite… through good conversation… to the last bite.
