Reviews for Caffe Classico in Louisville, KY
I ate at cafe Classico for the first time a month ago. They had a sign on the door when we arrived stating they were closing... early that day, they were closing at 3. So we went ahead and went in as it was was 2pm. When we walked in it felt awkward, wehad never been there so we were just standing by the door while everyone stared at us from their tables. I had to ask the 2young servers if we seat ourselves. I could tell they weren?t very busy, as there was only 3 other tables occupied at the time.Neither were welcoming by any means and it really just seemed as if they were annoyed and done with the day. I saw them standaround talking to each other and on their phones several times. We were never asked if we wanted anything to drink the entiretime we sat besides the water they brought to the table when we first sat down. I ordered a fry appetizer and Caesar a saladwith shrimp. The fries were good, but they are fries. When they brought my salad out they went to sit it down in front of me andthere was chicken on the salad?gray chicken. It was not all the way cooked. I brought it to her attention that I had orderedshrimp anyways and not chicken so she takes it back. My friend even made a comment that the chicken looked undercooked or bad.She comes out about 7 minutes later with another Caesar salad with shrimp and as soon as she sat it down at the table theoverwhelming smell of sour fish smacked both me and my friend in the face, it smelled so bad to the point it was making us sick.I figured no problem I?ll take the shrimp off. The issue with that was they never replaced the salad, just scraped the uncookedchicken off it and then put the shrimp back on. There was still chicken bits on the salad and the lettuce was warm and soggy. Myfriend ordered a panini and said it tasted like something you could get at Panera bread, just a basic tasteless panini. At thatpoint I was just ready to go. I put the plate on the table next to us because the smell so bad. The ser Read more
Good atmosphere, food good, fish, not delicious. Coffee good but it should be for the price. The dessert was delicious caramel... Gelato 2 scoops $8. No free refills on soft drinks. Waitress was good as she was the only one for the whole front room. Irealize help is difficult to find. I would return knowing how they play the game nowadays. Read more
If I could give 0 stars I would. The service giving by the teenager wait staff was fine, but the food was gross. I ordered the... salmon and my partner ordered the flank steak, neither of our proteins were cooked well the steak was gray! The potatoes werebarely seasoned, and we each only got 3 pieces pieces of asparagus which tasted burnt. I will never eat from here again, and Isuggest you don't either. Read more
Such a cute atmosphere and amazing offerings. As a cook, i don't like to eat out, nobody does it right. These folks have... amazing recipes that are simply delicious! I had soup that blew my mind. Read more
This was the worst service I have ever had before. We were told we could sit anywhere, and then after we sat they brought us the... menus and asked us what we wanted to drink so we ordered our drinks. However, for the rest of the time we were there, they neverapproached our table again and instead both the waitresses and the man behind the bar just all stood at the bar and stared atus. It was the most uncomfortable dining experience we?ve ever had. They never came over to our table. The couple that came inat the same time as us, they took their order and they received their food and in that time no one ever took our order. Therestaurant was half empty. We ended up just calling the waitress over to get our check so we could just leave. We ended up goingto the Grape Leaf across the street. Great Mediterranean food there and great service. First time ever going to cafe Classicoeven though we live right down the road from it. Never going to it again and will never recommend this place to anyone. We justdo not understand what happened there or why the service was like that. Read more
I have mixed feelings.. first I love a soda fountain drink.. they don?t have those but they do have Mexican cokes which are... almost as good. Our table ordered the fries.. as an appetizer and they were some of the beat I have ever had. They come with 3dips which my friends enjoyed. I had a delicious panini! There was a group of 5 of us and mostly everyone enjoyed their dish butone friend ordered a soup. She was anxious for me to try it as I was not familiar to that soup.. it looked very good. Well itwas cold and it wasn?t supposed to be cold. So she reluctantly asked if the server could heat it up which the server was happyto do. She got it back and it was still cold. So rather than ask again she just took it to go. I would come again. And I believemy friends will too. Read more
This is regular place for the family, be it lunch, dinner or simply an espresso to get through the day. They offer a variety... of items (which are all pretty good), varying from salads to sandwiches, appetizers, and entres. On occasion they do havespecial paella evenings which are always very good. My favorites are the Frites a caballo , steak and frites, any of theirpanini s , fish and chips or soups. And of course finishing it off with an espresso hits the spot. Tommy usually also keepsChamay on tap (reasonable wine menu) You really can?t go wrong. Reasonably priced. Tommy and all the folks are very friendlyand accommodating. Worth the trip. On a separate visit we had Tuna fish, a soup and salad option of seafood chowder and theBocadillo, very good Read more
Frankfort Avenue has so many choices. Salmon chowder and Greek salad was wonderful.
