I went back to bar Vetti with family. We all ordered different pasta dishes so we could try a little of each. They were all amazing. We agreed we couldn't pick a favorite. The service is always great. It was a Friday night and the vibe was fun and exciting. I definitely recommend reservations.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, Bar Vetti is a favorite spot in NuLu. I typically enjoy everything I have here. For brunch, I love the McVetti sandwich with potatoes, be sure to get extra calabrian sauce to dip in. They typically have lunch specials during the week which are an amazing deal. For dinner, the cacio e pepe or the carbonara are my go-tos. I can also highly recommend the beets & ricotta, meatball burger, and chocolate budino Oh and they make some kickass cocktails and have a great wine menu, I like starting my meal with a lillet blanc. I gave 4 star out of 5 for two reasons: - The music is a bit too loud in the evenings - Depending what you order (Carbonara), it can be very salty. I think it has to do with the cut of meat used but if the meat is that salty, no other salt should be added to the dish.

Amazing pasta! One of my new favorite restaurants in Louisville. Highly recommend. The Caesar salad is AMAZING as well

Bar Vetti is my GO TO!!! It always hits and never misses. I absolutely love this place and am always happy to give them all of my money. Every time I bring someone here, they love it. The food, service and ambiance is always top notch.

Only had drinks but the margaritas were good Service was good Great ambiance I didn't have food or appetizers

Bar Vetti is in on Market Street in the Nulu neighborhood in downtown Louisville. It's connected to AC Hotel by Marriott. The plants lining the walls and greenery above the bar add visual interest, along with neon lit Bar Vetti signs that add to the trendy aesthetic. It's a fun space that is well-suited for a girls night out. I ordered the following- Caesar Salad- (half size) roma crunch lettuce, dried apple and anchovy dressing (automatically comes on the side), everything granola, parmesan. Orecchiette- Jake's county sausage ragù, basil, ricotta, breadcrumbs. Hugo Spritz- St. German elderflower liqueur, soda, Cinzano Prosecco, mint I've heard that the Caesar salad rivals any other in the city. I can confirm, it's the best I've ever had. It was a half size and still huge. This is a must-try starter. The Orecchiette was plated on top of a generous amount of ricotta, adding the perfect balance to the spice of the sausage. My cocktail was good, but I didn't find it to be extraordinary. I sampled the tiramisu gelato and it was excellent; the cocoa was complimented by sea salt. This combination made it stand apart from similar desserts. Overall, the service was satisfactory. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful in describing the menu and helping us place our orders. It was nearly 20 minutes before I was offered a water, but otherwise she was attentive. I would give the food five stars. The noise level was a bit louder than I would like, but that is a matter of personal preference. The bathrooms are oddly far from the tables, located behind the bar in the hotel lobby next door. There weren't hand towels and I didn't enjoy drying my hands with Kleenex. The food though, it was top-notch. For the price range and fine food that Bar Vetti offers, I would expect more accessible restroom facilities and some means to dry my hands without having to use my pants. I would also expect to be greeted within the first fifteen minutes of sitting down, at a minimum. The food itself was phenomenal.

It's been five years since I first visited bar Vetti, when it was in its previous location, and it's as delicious as I remember! My best friend and I came here recently for a girl's night. Pasta on a cool winter night -- doesn't get much better than that. I went with my pasta favorite, cacio e pepe. I love that this dish has become a thing. And this rigatoni was as good as when I last got it at bar Vetti. It was pepper-y and cheese-y. It was a perfect enough portion to fill me up without making me feel overly full. I also like the choice of using rigatoni with this. It is such a great carrier for the sauce, unlike spaghetti. We also split some focaccia bread. Just perfect. IMO bar Vetti has the best Italian in Louisville, and even better, the vibe isn't stuffy and overly formal. It's a fun, fuschia-filled spot with friendly staff. Our waitress chatted with us for a bit and recommended some great wines. The prices are a bit steep but so worth it. And the owner has a reputation for fairly paying the staff, so I feel better knowing that what I pay is going toward that. Again, best Italian in Louisville. Get it!

I really enjoyed this place for several reasons. We had great service, delicious creative beverages and food options, modern clean upbeat scenery & it was located in a convenient centralized location. Bar Vetti is attached to the Marriott brand hotel & can be accessed through a door in the lobby. My brother & I stayed there so this was an extra convenience.
