    We had an exquisite Anniversary dinner at Porcini including the romantic setting, wonderful service, and delicious cuisine. I enjoyed the best porcini ravioli I’ve ever tasted and my wife loved her bucatini with scallops. A beautiful bottle of Brunello and a complimentary dessert from the staff pushed this experience over the top. Head to Porcini if you want authentic, creative Italian when visiting Louisville.

    I worked in the space when it was Hoe Kow Restaurant. Walking into the restaurant gave me an immediate feeling of familarity and calm. A large retirement party was happening so the restaurant was on the louder side, but we still enjoyed celebrating our friend's 65th birthday. The service was top-notch! Our server was attentive without being overwhelming. We started with appetizers of escargo and calamari, and both were delicious. Our group enjoyed either the trout or scallops for dinner; absolutely scrumptious! We ended our meal with servings of profiteroles or creme brulee and each dessert was divine. High marks on all fronts...
