Bar Vetti is an Italian restaurant in the Nulu neighborhood of Louisville.
“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.”
“We loved the Rigatoni Cacio e Pepe, more on the oily side rather than creamy. The Goat Cheese Gnocchi tasted weird, not sure if it was the artichokes or spices, but it did not resemble any Italian pasta I've had before, wouldn't recommend. The roasted brussels sprouts were good, as well as the cheese pizza. Good service overall.”
“Initially had reservations elsewhere but changed to Bar Vetti after getting a recommendation from a local. Frankly, wish we hadn't changed. We started with the Caesar Salad which I liked but wasn't my wife's favorite. We then split the meatballs and the brussels and bacon pizza and didn't finish either.”
“The restaurant offers very few healthy options. We ordered the mixed green salad which was very good. Our entrees were swordfish which was moist but drowning in butter and the bucatini which was very tasty and very large (took half of it home). The restaurant was nice, just too few healthy options. Parking is a challenge.”
“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.”
