Lexington Restaurants
Portabella's 115 N Locust Hill Dr. Lexington, KY 40509 859-266-6836	Portabella's changed hands in April of 2003 to a young couple, in love with food. With that shift brought a fresh new face & breath of new life to the restaurant. With an extensive wine list and further use of the grill, the young couples passion for food, wine & personable service shines through. The friendly staff is very involved and intensifies the family atmosphere.
Bella Notte 3715 Nicholasville Rd. Lexington, KY 40503 859-245-1789	At Bella Notte, we have adopted the philosophy to utilize locally grown vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, fruits, lamb, and rabbit whenever possible. We are always looking to support the community by supporting any local products we can get our hands on thru programs such as Kentucky Proud, a farmers community that specialize in mostly organically grown and certified produce, fruits, meats and game, as well as any word of mouth. We love when farmers show up at the door with a box of ripe, sun-warm tomatoes or fresh produced goat’s milk cheese.
Corky's Ribs & BBQ 130 W Tiverton Way, Ste. 100 Lexington, KY 40515 859-272-7675	Serving luscious Memphis-style barbecue, this much-loved chain knows just what taste buds want when it comes to hickory-smoked pork, beef, and chicken. Slow cooking imparts a mellow flavor to the meat, which is given a perky accent with Corky's signature sauce and dry rubs. A casual ambience sets the pace, and music is a throwback to simpler days. Hand-pulled pork shoulder and spare ribs are longtime favorites, but you can also opt for sandwiches or even combo plates. Prepare for hearty eating!
Tolly-Ho Restaurant 395 S Limestone St. Lexington, KY 40508 859-253-2007	Our business is built on repeat customers. We depend on happy customers bringing friends and telling others about Tolly-Ho. That's what we're all about. We concentrate so hard on making and keeping our customers happy that we don't have the time (or the money) to spend on advertising. How do we keep our customers happy? By offering them (you) quality food at a reasonable price in a unique atmosphere. We don't waste money on advertising, and we pass those savings on to you.
Giuseppe's Ristorante Italiano 4456 Nicholasville Rd. Lexington, KY 40515 859-272-4053	Italiano features traditional Italian dishes, as well as nouveau Italian, in a contemporary atmosphere. Giuseppe's was awarded "Best Dessert in the Bluegrass" for it's version of the Italian classic Tira Misu, and chosen "Best Italian in Lexington" by the Lexington Herald-Leader reader's poll. Giuseppe's also offers homemade desserts and live jazz in the bar Wednesday through Saturday evenings. A private room is available for business meetings (LCD/screen), rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, etc.
Rossi's 1060 Chinoe Rd. Chinoe Center Lexington, KY 40502 859-335-8788	One of Chef Rod Jones' favorite creations is a cocktail with Woodford Reserve blackberries, peaches and some simple syrup. "I think it's better than sangria." And in the kitchen? "Once I understood how a really fine Woodford Reserve bourbon could go with anything-even a great piece of cheese-there was no end to it," he notes. "Here in Kentucky, you know you can put bourbon on anything."
Regatta Seafood Grille 3199 Nicholasville Rd. Lexington Green Lexington, KY 40503 859-273-7875	Since 1994, Regatta Seafood Grille has prided itself on serving the highest quality fresh seafood that Lexington has to offer. Conveniently located in Lexington Green, we’re at the intersection of New Circle Road and Nicholasville Road and connected to the popular Joseph-Beth Booksellers. With our flown-in fresh fish and on-site temperature-controlled preparation, we provide the best seafood in Lexington. We have a wide variety of seafood including 11 varieties of fresh fish, numerous combinations of shrimp, scallops, oysters, king crab legs, live Maine lobster, and lobster tails. Combine that with great service and a friendly staff, and you have a dining experience second to none.
Metropol 307 W Short St. Lexington, KY 40507 859-381-9493	The small, white-painted Federal-style building that houses Metropol was built in 1825 and once served as a city post office. These days, with polished granite floors and gleaming wood trim, it's a bit more upscale but no less impressive. Named for a Swiss hotel chain, the restaurant boasts a personable staff and a menu that tiptoes between American and Italian dishes. Representative fare includes lobster ravioli, Maryland crab cakes, roasted duck, prosciutto truffle pasta, sauteed Gulf shrimp, and baby rack of lamb.
Anna Belle's Bistro 127 N Limestone Lexington, KY 40507 859-381-0900	A little funky, sporting a bit of an edge, Anna Belle's gives tradition a kick in the pants at this creative restaurant, located just across from the new courthouse. While you'll recognize many of the components of the menu, they've been reconfigured into something more intriguing. Kentucky egg rolls, for instance, update an Asian standard with barbecue and cole slaw, and the house meat loaf goes uptown with a dash of truffle oil. You can also find strong basics like steak and fruit-dressed pound cake.
Pazzo's Pizza Pub 385 S Limestone Lexington, KY 40508 859-255-5125	We take no short cuts at Pazzo's! Our signature marinara sauce and dough are made fresh daily. Highest quality meats, fresh cut vegetables daily. Wisconsin made 100% whole milk mozzarella, parmesan, and romano cheeses. To prepare and bake our pizzas takes a little longer, but the extra few minutes is well worth the wait. It is with pride that Pazzo's serves you! Enjoy!
