Lentini's?

I heard that Lentini's was opening on Shelbyville Road. Am I way behind the news on this one? did it ever open?

It's open...there have been a few past threads about it.

Did they change the name? I thought it was called Da Vinci's or something? It's located in the shopping plaza where Buckhead's used to be.

Officially it's called "DaVinci by Lentini's." You're correct on the location, Tanya. To be exact, 10430 Shelbyville Road, (502) 386-6783.

I haven't reviewed it yet, but as I understand it, the menu is essentially similar to the current Lentini's on Bardstown. If anybody has been, I hope they'll jump in with more info.

I hate to be a spoiler, especially for a local restaurant, but here goes. I went to Da Vinci's for lunch a couple weeks ago with co-workers. The decor and ambiance were horrible, with a few tables spread across a large dining room, an odd mix of music, and a wait staff out of Blue Boar. The menu is very limited, and the food, well, it was really bland. Truth be told, I am not a fan of Lentini's either, but this was worse than I remember Lentini's being. By the end of lunch, the whole table was trying to predict the closing date for the new restaurant. Our consensus guess, Thanksgiving of this year.
