Hospitality ranks high at Vincenzo's, voted by Louisvillians as one of the best Italian eateries in town. Vincenzo and Agostino Gabriele, owners of Vincenzo's, expend extra effort to make each meal an event, with a focus on comfort and dining pleasures. Enjoy a formal "special occasion" dinner with tasty entrees from a menu developed with the owners' European heritage in mind. Or perhaps order up a refreshing mint julep come derby season. You'll likely find mouth-watering entrees like breast of duck with figs and caramelized baby onions, as well as spaghetti with lobster, sun-dried tomatoes and asparagus tips. Nine private dining rooms make Vincenzo's a favorite for special evenings, but if the weather permits try to secure a table in Vincenzo's sunlit courtyard. -- Nancy Caine
