"We came to Bar Vetti and really enjoyed the modern, sleek décor with a bar in the center of the restaurant. I tried their take on a dirty martini, called Something About Maré. It’s made with Gin Mare, Salver’s Aperitif, and caper brine, and I have to say, it was a fun twist on the classic dirty martini and actually very good. For appetizers, we ordered the meatballs made with red sauce, parsley, and parmigiano reggiano and served with Blue Dog sourdough. They were flavorful, though a bit on the salty side. I ordered the Rigatoni Cacio e Pepe which was absolutely delicious, creamy, buttery, with plenty of black pepper and pecorino cheese. My hubby had the Orecchiette which is a popular dish. It’s made with Jake’s country sausage, ragu, basil, and ricotta breadcrumbs, which was hearty and comforting. For dessert, the ricotta bomboloni was a warm, soft Italian-style doughnuts dusted with maple sugar and served with jam. It was a treat to end the meal. Service was a big plus here. Matt, our server, was super attentive and made us feel well taken care of throughout the night. That said, I’m giving this restaurant three stars due to finding some abrasive stringy material, in both of my daughter’s dishes. It was disappointing and concerning, especially since everything else was enjoyable. Overall, the food was very good, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was stylish yet comfortable, but the issue with my daughter’s dish did affect the overall experience."

"I went for brunch and I was seated right away. Was waiting for a friend to arrive, so was able to order a bloody Mary while I waited. It was absolutely delicious. Spicy, with a hint of sweetness that I'm not sure of. But it was delicious. I had a hard time choosing what to eat because everything sounded so good. I ended up getting the breakfast platter with sausage and a side of bacon. Safe choice, but I was hungry and it was a good sized platter. Everything was super delicious. Service stayed great throughout our visit. They were on top of our needs, but not hovering. I will definitely go back."

"Bar Vetti has a beautiful atmosphere and great service - welcoming, attentive, and polished. I visited for the prix fixe lunch menu and was excited to try a variety of dishes. The burrata was the star of the meal - fresh, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Drinks were also delicious and well-crafted. As for the lunch selections: • The mushroom soup didn’t quite deliver on mushroom flavour. • The wedge Caesar salad was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. • The country ham and strawberry flatbread had a nice flavour combination, but the dough was too thick for my taste. • The lobster pasta was good, but I found myself wishing I’d gone with the cacio e pepe instead. • Dessert was a high point—the tiramisu gelato was absolutely fantastic, and the chocolate dessert rounded things out beautifully. Overall, Bar Vetti is a lovely spot with standout elements. With a few tweaks to the menu, it could easily go from good to exceptional. Would definitely return for the drinks, burrata, and desserts!"

"I just found another favorite Louisville restaurant! I came here with a friend on a Monday night and even though we didn’t have a reservation, we were seated promptly. We started off with the Cast Iron Fonduta which was delicious along with the Winter Spritz mocktail which was very tasty. My friend had the Caesar Salad which she claims is the best one she has ever had! I had the Lobster Creste di Gallo and it was SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! The restaurant is nicely decorated with an elevated feel. Needless to say, I will definitely be back!"

"It was our first time here and we will definitely come back! The food was amazing, everything was cooked perfectly, and the ambiance was wonderful. Our server, Court, was extremely attentive."
