About the restaurant

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.

My mom and I have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time and finally found the time to come. What a treat! It was worth the wait, a very beautiful, calm atmosphere with delicious food and ambiance. I would recommend to anyone who wants to treat themselves to a special night out with a multi-course meal. It is clear the whole staff and culinary crew take the time to make a holistic dining experience with well-crafted local items. Also, make sure to take a stroll around the garden in back. Beautiful!
