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 never had anything hear that we didn't like. I nearly always get the Halibut special because it is always so very tasty and perfectly cooked. Tonight I tried the Ribeye and it did not disappoint. It came with a side of fried potatoes and I added brussel sprouts. Presentation was beautiful and the everything was delicious! The steak was very tender and juicy. Hubby ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and his meal was delicious as well. Giuseppe's is our go to place for birthday's and anniversary. Parking can sometimes be a challenge because the parking lot is small. So be prepared to park along the side or the side of the road.
