Arrived late on a weeknight over an hour before closing, & while I was seated right away waited at least 5 minutes before anyone came over (I almost left). Place was less than 1/2-full. Service was OK- didn't check on me after my order came (I was scouting nearby tables for salt & parm cheese). But the pizzas are great- worth it for that.

Our family was traveling through Kentucky and wanted to eat in a nice restaurant. Our son found Porcini's online. Service was outstanding and the food was delicious and plentiful. Wine list was outstanding. Kala, our server, exceeded our expectations. One of the owners or managers made sure to stop over to check that everything was made to order and acceptable. Everything was excellent.

I have been here many times. I love the ambiance, and the food is always the way I like it: Hot and Tasty. There is music in the background, white linen tablecloths, and all the servers are always bustling. We have sat at the bar a few times to eat also, and it is lively and great company.

While attending a conference in Louisville, my wife and I had dinner to celebrate my birthday at Vincenzo's. The service was top notch and the Salmon and Pork entrees were excellent. Both entrees came with vegetables that were well prepared al dente, and the special caprese salad was wonderful with a great combination of flavors. The wind list is truly top notch, although I settled for a couple of glasses of a Benziger California Merlot--actually a very good wine, but more or less a "house wine" here. I should mention that the selection of Kentucky bourbons is outstanding. Hint: when you're selecting one, think Angel's Envy. By the way, the attention to detail here is to be commended.
