Sarino: Experience Authentic Italian Cuisine in the Heart of Louisville

We visited on a weeknight and the dining room was almost empty. There were a few other couples and one small group by the bar. The server was curt and inattentive. It was very reminiscent of talking to an angsty teenager. The food was good. The charcuterie was disappointing. Portion sizes were smaller than expected; you get to pick which meats and cheeses, which is lovely, but the accoutrement was very below expectations. The pasta was delicious and if I went back, I would get a dish that focused on pasta. Unfortunately, the patron they seated directly behind us was drowning in cologne and really affected the atmosphere. The choice to put such a strong smelling man by other patrons was poor, especially with so many empty tables. While the restaurant cannot control who comes, they can mitigate the impact they have on others. I was sitting farther from him than my husband, and he was still overwhelming.

We've been here several times. The food is always fresh and the servers have extensive knowledge of the menu. My personal favorite is the pea pesto. They also have excellent charcuterie and pizza.

This restaurant not only has curb appeal it has a wonderful atmosphere and ambience. Our server was wonderful. The food was amazing and I recommend the pea pesto, so good,and the shrimp scampi, also Brussels sprouts were great. We will be back for sure!

A+ experience! All the pasta is made in house and you can't choose wrong from the menu. Just close your eyes and point! It's all scrumptious. Our server Nick was outstanding. An authentic Italian experience in Louisville. Must go and enjoy!

Pasta was fresh and flavorful, we tried 4 different dishes and enjoyed them all. All of the appetizers were also delightful. If you go for a birthday they also provide a desert on the house. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back in the future! Update: Came back for my birthday dinner tonight and had a wonderful time! Every dish was fantastic, I was thrilled to have another 5 star dinner. Thank you!

Amazing food, good service! Got 2 meals, an appetizer and dessert and only spent just over $100 after a 20% tip. Food was reasonably priced for it being handmade pasta and everything was delicious! We got the vodka sauce pasta and chicken parm. And really recommend getting the tiramisu for dessert, if you’re full still get it and they will package it to go for you!!!

This was our first time here. We started our day with brunch to celebrate our 5 year Anniversary. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu! I had the Bella for my drink & the Bolognese. My husband had the Breakfast Platter with a waffle on the side & we shared the Zeppole for dessert! Wonderful

let me start by saying: i went for a birthday party, so most of the reservation/seating was available as i walked in. BUT beyond not knowing what the real wait-time might be, it was such an excellent dinner! i had a citrusy drink (i don’t remember what it was called ha) and eggplant parmesan, but i tasted another meaty pasta dish from my friends plate. all were delicious! low lighting would be nice for a first date, there were TVs at the bar if one were more inclined to a solo dinner, cool/inclusive art. plating and service were good. i can’t say enough good things! i can’t wait to go back. i do wish i got more pictures than just the one of the oil and vinegar in the shape of a face. lol.
