I went all out and got the 16 layer lasagna, which has 4 different types of meats. Soooo good and the size was large enough that I had the leftovers again the next night. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. One of the best Italian spots in Louisville - 5/5!

We all drank water, soda or tea and they kept our glasses filled. We ordered the pork chop dinner that came with risotto and vegetables. My husband loved the veggies and risotto but was not thrilled with the chop. He wishes he would have asked for a steak knife as it was difficult to cut with the butter knife provided. It was tender enough but neither of us cared for the flavor. I had the Primavera. It was a bit bland. I had to salt it several times. Our favorite part of the meal was dessert. We had a piece of lemoncello cake that was flavorful, creamy and light. We both thought it was great. We had about $20 left on our gift card and were disappointed we couldn't use the balance as the tip. So we ordered two more desserts to bring home to use the balance of the gift card. We brought homemade a piece of Italian cream cake that was as good or better than the lemoncello cake and it was a huge piece of cake. We also have a piece of caramel sea salt cheesecake which was pretty good. It was loud in the small space and a bit difficult to have a conversation across the table. The background music did not help with this issue. The staff were friendly and helpful boxing up our leftovers. Tables have white cloth tablecloths and the owner was making rounds to greet all the patrons which was nice. We discovered there is parking in the back of the restaurant, as so many of the spaces in the area have signs indicating you will be towed if you park there. We had to park on the street about a block down.

The atmosphere is really fun and unique, and there were definitely things we enjoyed. My husband got the chicken Parmesan and I kept stealing bites because his was so good! I ordered the special that night, which was the $27 cacio e pepe on orecchiette with sausage, and it came with a salad and wine. The salad was really good, but unfortunately the pasta was way too salty and a little bland for me. I probably should have said something, but I didn't, so that part is on me. I just felt bad wasting it! The service wasn't bad at all, but the overall experience felt a little rushed. Since we were celebrating two pretty special occasions, I think we were hoping for more of a relaxed, sit-and-enjoy-it kind of evening. We never really had a chance to settle in before it felt like everything was moving along pretty quickly. They also bring out a wine sample at the beginning of the meal, which I loved, and it was delicious. We'll definitely go back at some point. I'd just order something different next time and hopefully have a more relaxed experience.

Do so to thank Chef and company for a great meal ! Limited bar seating. If you're local or visiting during the week, there's an evening bigger steal with a 3- course tasting menu. You guys rock!!
