Varanese settled in Louisville because of its successful independent dining scene, and he believes that the people of Louisville will appreciate fresh ingredients, prepared with a creative flair and a culturally diverse menu. Varanese’s eclectic menu boasts an array of options from stuffed grape leaves, and fried green tomato salad, to new signature entrées: the seared boneless pork chop, and caramelized orange salmon. Finish with a fried banana accompanied by a house-made oatmeal cookie dough ice cream dessert. This New American style restaurant will comfortably seat 150 guests between its bar, dining room and four seasons patio. The four seasons patio of Varanese is an addition to the building, which has a dramatic 20-foot slate water wall. The space is enclosed by a serpentine of glass doors, which retract to offer an outdoor dining experience. Varanese is located at 2106 Frankfort Ave. in the Historic Clifton neighborhood

My husband and I each got an appetizer, crab stuffed avocados and calamari, and both were excellent! He also got the divers scallops and duck ravioli and I got the fried green tomato salad, and we were both very happy!
We were seated close to the musicians and I was concerned about it being a bit loud but this was certainly not the case. The music added a wonderful ambiance.
Finally, our server was fantastic! She was friendly and attentive and timed our meal perfectly. Bravo Varanese!

We had a lovely post Derby, birthday dinner with friends. We requested a table far enough from the band so that we could talk easily and also have some special attention to celebrate a birthday and we were not disappointed. Great recommendations from our server, who was attentive and knowledgeable, we were thoroughly pleased with our drinks, meals, service, and experience.

We are never disappointed when coming to Varnese, everything was outstanding. Our server recommended two dishes that we loved and had never tried before.
We were seated in a little side room that was quiet but when the band came to play we could still hear it.

Joel and I come here often since the opening back in the day so it was an easy pick to take my newlywed niece and her husband out for celebration. David whom we love was a great help in securing a better table in the front room as opposed to the rear. It’s these “personal touches” along with the outstanding service by Errol and the always amazing ambience that keeps Joel and I coming to dine. Bravo to John, David, Errol, and staff; We had a great time as always!
