  • Pompilio’s (Newport): The warmth this restaurant brings dates back to April 1, 1933, when the streets sounded quite a bit different. The building's history dates back to the turn of the last century when it opened as a small saloon. Today, the homemade Italian recipes are shared during special occasions, intimate moments, laughter, and tears. From antipasti to lasagna, expect the authentic Italian love in the entrees with some surprising specials.
  • Pasta Garage Italian Cafe (Lexington): This eatery is the product of a shared love for Italian street food crafted with the freshest ingredients. We enjoy the build-your-own pasta option that begins with a choice of gluten-free fusilli, whole wheat fettuccine, squid ink linguini, or chipotle rotini to give a hint of the sophisticated menu. Have you ever tried homemade tiramisu? You're in for a treat here as this is the real deal with lady fingers soaked in dark roast coffee and layered with mascarpone. In addition, the staff will cater food for any group of up to 400 people  — so give this Italian restaurant in Kentucky a call when you have a large celebration.
