I have been partial to the panini they've had on special, the hot honey brisket. Love the beef, love the flavor combination, love how everything melds together, love the crunch of the bread. I've tried a couple bites of other paninis and they've been great as well. The store has anything you could need to make whatever Italian meal that could come to mind, and more. I love the unique items you can get at the deli. I know I'll be back!

Reservations can be made online through open table and it's extremely easy to book. Side note, your entire party will need to be there before you are seated. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, located on Frankfort Avenue. They have a full drink menu and plenty of wine to choose from. They also offered several specials when we dined there. We opted for the bruschetta topped with mozzarella and served with tomato basil drip. Then the fresh bread arrived and my goodness was it good. It was fluffy with a crunchy exterior, perfect for dipping into the sauce of our entrees. They have lots of pasta options, including a build your own pasta with a choose of noodles, sauce and meat. I was torn between the piccata or Marsala, but wanted something fresh and bright - the piccata did not disappoint. the chicken was moist, the capers were huge and the sauce was bright and tart. I would definitely order it again. I've already made reservations to go back in December!

From the moment we walked in, the service was so warm and genuine. Now, let's talk about the food because holy cannoli--it was chef's kiss worthy. We started with escargot, which was excellent. Then came the caprese pasta with grilled shrimp. Imagine tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and shrimp having a delicious little party on your plate. The lasagna and manicotti, bathed in pink sauce so rich and creamy, made me question my life choices up to that point. Of course, this Italian feast needed wine worthy of the gods--Chianti, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc all played their parts beautifully, like the perfect musical trio backing an epic food opera. If you want authentic flavors, a staff that treats you like family, and the kind of meal that makes you want to book a one-way ticket to Italy (or at least come back here next weekend), di Fabio Casapela is your new happy place. Mangia, mangia!

For dinner, we ordered: - Capellini Pomodoro E Basilico, which had Capellini, Fresh Tomatoes, Spinach, Roasted Garlic, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Fresh Basil. It was very good (9/10 rating) with tender pasta and good flavor. - Gamberi E Risotto, which had Grilled Jumbo Shrimp, Spring Vegetable Risotto, and Lemon Garlic Sauce. This was amazing (9/10) with perfectly cooked risotto and nice flavor. We ended our meal with their cannolis. They were very good with a sweet creamy inside and a crispy/flaky shell.

The service was phenomenal - from the hostess to the bartenders, you could tell everyone took pride in their role and was proud of their food and the experience they provide to their guests. The bread service is warm sourdough bread served with dipping oil that has roasted garlic cloves inside - yum! For dinner, mom had their sea bass special which was excellent. 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!

It was smoother than the satin pillows I use to keep my hair in check while I sleep. The Pappardelle Boscaiola's perfectly choppes applewood bacon practically melted in my mouth. I barely had to chew it for it to saunter its way down my throat to my waiting belly. There is something to be said about fresh pasta & these folks used all of my ten dollar words when bouncing ideas off one another in creating it. The only thing I didn't care for were the 'shrooms and it had nothing all to day with preparation or the cook of them but rather my dental work. That pasta dish was so delicious I contemplated another one to go for a midnight snack! In all seriousness, if you can make it, I totally recommend it. Bestie had the Lasagne Al Fornno and it was also delectable. I specifically saved room for dessert and the Tiramisu was not a disappointment. Seriously folks, go! Run! It's just that good. The folks were friendly, Gary was a superb server with excellent recommendations & despite it being a coldish night, our patio seating was warm and comfy. I'm gonna be sad to leave this city. We have enjoyed ourselves immensely and if I ever make it back, bar bites are next up.

This will be our fourth visit together to eat dinner at Fat Jimmy's Pizza. They offer an All You Can Eat Buffet for less than $15.00. You could also order Appetizers, Pizza, Pasta, Oven Baked Subs, Salads, and Breads (including Hot Buttery Balls). Emma was our cashier and she kept the tables clear. She was very sweet and kept a big smile on her face. She's been there 6 years and recognizes a lot of their customers. We went through the line and if you ordered a salad or a buffet, you helped yourself. There was also the ice machine and soft drink machines to help yourself and then if you were waiting for a pizza, you seated yourself. We got to all sit together down the row by the door. It was great seeing Charlie back in town again. The food was so very good. It's nice to be able to use the buffet and have a taste of everything. The Kitchen Chefs, Ethan and Jose kept the Pizzas and Pastas coming out. More than half of our group used the buffet. It looked so good and there were so many varieties. Emma checked on us and cleared off the table, multiple times. We also got to meet Brian, the Manager. He was a great help bringing food out to the tables and the buffet bar. I also read online that Wednesday nights were the Senior Night and that we would get a discount! I think we're going to go back, pretty soon! We also want to pass a shout out to the Owner, Jim Ferrel. He's a great Swain Pointe Supporter. It was a great night! Robyn

They are smothered in cheese and sauce on a bed of grits. The grits are great but I would have liked a little less sauce to enjoy them straight.

Get the Venetian if you like a pop of bitterness in your drinks.

So, in fairness, I suspect if you order off the menu, you'll be brought a darn good pizza, served piping hot. The buffet is another story. $11 for adults, $5 for kids gets you endless pizza, soft drinks and some kind of "knots" (if you look hard enough). The pizza on the buffet was pretty good, as long as you like pepperoni or sausage. Gluten free options? Nope. Nada. Zilch. We asked for a thin crust veggie pizza and they accommodated. The salad bar was a huge disappointment shredded lettuce, a few peppericini , banana peppers and chopped bell pepper. A few bins held croutons, pepperoni and ham. Nothing fresh. Dressings come in packets. So Mazerella's. Gets good points for food. But the breakdown comes is service and cleanliness, or lack-of. The salad bar, the floors, the trash bins, the kitchen prep area were filthy. At no time did anyone come to the dining area to clean up. Tables weren't clean. Trash over flowing. And the buffet restocked only when they were down to one or two pies. With only 2 people working, it's clearly a staffing issue. The board of health would have lots to say about food safety. Would I go back? Maybe. Mazerella's is a whole lot better than Mr Gatti's or Marco's. But I'd feel more comfortable if they swept the floors and empty the trash.
