Now for the Food. I was impressed. Good Mediterranean food in Louisville is rare. My wife and I stopped in for lunch and the food delivered. She ordered a chicken gyro. Her fries came out fresh and seasoned. Her sandwich was the best gyro we have had in Louisville. I ordered the Sparta bowl lunch portion. Fresh, flavorful, and balanced. Nothing negative to say. Overall. If you have not been here you should make time to visit. Nobody is perfect so here is my minor nitpick. I ordered a Sparta bowl and did not get a fork. I walked back up and grabbed one. If that is the worst problem they have, they are doing something right. I look forward to going back.

I think there is a price difference of a couple dollars. The portion of gyro meat with both the sandwich and the platter is very generous. I actually got two meals off the platter. The place is small but it's big enough and bright and clean. The owner is super friendly, but since they're preparing things as you order, service isn't the fastest but maybe that's better. He prepared the fries and my chicken wings to order as well as the meat whether it be lamb or chicken. In addition to chicken and lamb gyros, they have a variety of platters; kofta, falafel, shawarma, grilled shrimp and Philly beef. Don't know about the last one, I guess it could be good. The lamb tasted great, no gaminess at all, the vegetables were fresh and the tzatziki sauce tied everything together for a delicious bite. The rice and salad were great compliments to my gyro platter. On an impulse, I got the wings, and after one bite was ecstatic that I did. They did not look like they were gonna be good and maybe to others they may not be. I think they're frozen out of a big bag, pre-made just need to throw it in the fryer for a few minutes. Anyway it had this weird orange hue to it just like the friend chicken from Pioneer Chicken . If you grew up on the west coast or Hawaii that was the competing friend chicken chain to KFC. I think there's only one restaurant left in Los Angeles. This fried chicken still haunts my dreams, I have half a mind to road trip it to California for a family pack of delicious fried chicken. Sorry, I digress. Anyway this fried chicken wings tasted a whole lot like Pioneer Chicken. As I started this review, best gyros in the area, plus their rice wrapped in grape leaves and the baklava were very good.

Maillard Wood Fired Kitchen

If you like pizza, Maillard Wood Fired Kitchen in Elizabethtown is one you need to put on your…read morelist. I went with the Italian Meats pizza, and this thing was amazing. It comes loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, cappy ham, sopressata and ricotta, along with Romano and mozzarella. What really makes it different is the Neo-Neapolitan, wood-fired style. Their pizzas are cooked at extremely high temperatures, which gives the crust those dark, blistered spots you can see in the pictures. Those black spots aren't necessarily a burned pizza, that char is part of what gives wood-fired pizza its distinctive flavor and texture. Maillard even describes its food as being "kissed by fire." And LOOK AT THAT CHEESE PULL! The crust had a great combination of crispy, chewy and slightly charred, while the center stayed softer. Add all those Italian meats and the little pockets of creamy ricotta, and there was a ton of flavor in every bite. This definitely isn't your typical chain-store pizza. The menu is pretty impressive too. They have everything from a basic cheese or pepperoni pizza to combinations like The Great Debate, Sweet & Spicy, Greek Freak, The Bama, Garlic Confit and The Gus. There are also wood-fired wings, salads, cheese breads and several dipping sauces. So even if everyone at the table doesn't want the same kind of pizza, there are plenty of options. Another thing I really enjoyed was the atmosphere. It was peaceful and relaxing when we were there on a mid Thursday evening, it's one of those places where you can actually sit down, enjoy your food and have a conversation without feeling rushed. And the service was awesome. Friendly service can turn good food into a great experience, and they nailed both. One tip for somebody trying wood-fired pizza for the first time: don't judge that dark crust before you taste it. I know somebody is going to look at my picture and say, "They burnt your pizza!" Nope, that blistered char is one of the things that makes this style of pizza so good. Amazing pizza + peaceful atmosphere + awesome service = an easy from me. I'll definitely be back, although now I've got a problem: Do I order the Italian Meats again because it was that good, or try another one? Let me know what you ordered and if you felt this review was satisfactory. Enjoy your!

(poster Gene L.- 7 days ago was not exaggerating on his review)…read more Very disappointed :( The first not so good sign my husband & I picked up on immediately was the substandard bread that was served. I m sorry folks but bread at an Italian restaurant is important to us. NO olive oil, NO balsamic ... just boring single packets of butter. Too boot the bread was very dry & tasteless. Soup came next - the roasted pepper soup flavor profile was superb, unfortunately it was too liquified. HOW MANY REVIEWS MUST BE WRITTEN on "thinned out" soup before the chef pays attn?!?!?? I could not keep the soup on the spoon as it was comprable to water. Thickening up the soup a touch would have catapulted this soup to the 10th power as it was tasty! How can a chef continue to miss this?!?! The entree came next -- I ordered the tortellini in pink sauce - the sauce was soooo rich & heavily creamed that I could not eat it. No loose sauce to visualize in the plate almost similar to creaming butter & sugar - a paste if you would with tossed in tortellini. Honestly it was extremely rough! :( *****MIND YOU THE WAITRESS CHARGED US & I HAD 3 PIECES OF TORTELLINI!!!! BAD BuSINESS PRACTICE!!!!! The waitress exchanged my dish for plain spaghetti & meat sauce. The spaghetti was meh ... had better at Olive Garden (wish I was joking, no joke here). AGAIN, no real sauce to visualize on my pasta or plate. What is up with the DRY pasta dishes?!?! I have been to Italy many times & experienced phenomenal Italian pasta all over the country & unfortunately I would rate this one at the bottom of my list. I feel sad that as a business owner I have to rate this restaurant 2 stars. My top priority is to stay 100% honest regarding my personal experience. The good news my waitress was extremely professional and cordial. She did a great job at hearing the feedback while maintaining a good disposition throughout our dinner. She doesn't own the restaurant so her feedback was "the chef will charge you." She was doing what she was told - can't blame her there. My husband enjoyed his salmon piccata- he rated it a 7! Perhaps the key is to steer away from the pasta & sauces & order the fish. Sadly today I personally can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. Guys, go back to the drawing board and stick to figuring out the most important -- THE PASTA SAUCES!!
