A second vote for Vincenzo's. And Mike Linnigs for the Louisville experience.

Don't get to Louisville as often as I'd like. Are Ollie's Trolley and Imperazelli's(sp?) Pizza still around?

All the restaurants mentioned so far are among the old guard and have been popular for decades.

here are the new go to spots.

Havana Rumba
Le relais
Proof
732 social
corbett's
Sake Blue
Equus
seviche
mojitos
610 magnolia
varenese
volare

gosh, there are so many good eats I cant even scracth the surface of Louisville. I would compare it with several top 20 cities such as Atlanta from a restaurant perspective.

Yes I totally agree Mike Linings, Ollies Trolley, Impellizeris for great food. Also Lynn's Paradise Cafe---Walnut chicken is fabulous. For fun pocket-friendly hangouts try The Back Door or Cahoots...Also Captains Quarters on Sundays and the Cox Park scene on Sunday

Oh yes! Really yummy! I love their Guiness Beef Stew and Bubble and Squeak. Great soda bread as well.

I moved away in 2003, is "The Comeback Inn" still in business on the corner of Swan and Breckenridge? I can't think of why they wouldn't be! Nice casual atmosphere, GREAT Chicago style Italian food!!! The first time I had their spagetti and meatballs, I told Mark the owner that I thought that I had died and went to heaven because I hadn't had Spagetti that good since my mom passed away! YUM!!! Where's this "Swan Dive" is that the old "Swan St. Cafe" there at Swan and Samual?! I'm startin' to get homesick!!!

What is going on at "Captains Quarters"~? I've heard folks go there, but do they have live bands or what~? What age group usually goes~? I'm a local and should know this. I do know about the Sunday dances, so is it better than that~?
