If you are an Italian in Louisville or you just use your hands a lot while talking, you probably have a definitive stance on your favorite Italian joint in the Ville. Tucked away in Louisville’s Germantown neighborhood, one of our Calabrian family’s faves is Sarino, a rare gem that balances authenticity with modern flair.

Opened in 2017 by Chef Carmelo Gabriele, Sarino offers many gluten-free veggie options as well as a bevy of meaty meat-filled meat dishes. Walking through the doors of Sarino, you’re greeted with the warm aroma of fresh, homemade dishes crafted with care.
