Reviews of Come Back Inn
Great "hole in the wall" Italian restaurant, that's been a staple of the community for some time. Food was fresh, service was great.
Had some things missing due to supply chain issues, but most places are running into that right now. Waiter always worked to make replacement suggestions and try to make the most of it.
For appetizers, the wontons are the go to! Pastas were good, but still looking for my favorite choice to recommend.
OMG! This place is amazing, honestly some of the best food I’ve had in L’ville. It may not look like much when you walk in but rest assured your going to have a good meal and top notch service.
Love Come Back Inn. Ambiance, and food are incredible. We frequented the Come Back Inn three times and each time was incredible. We will continue to invite new and old friends and continue to visit the restaurant. Hoping the Inn stays open for many more years to come. The pasta dishes are always good and hearty. The servings are ample size for even two persons to share. We have not tried the pizza yet, though this is planned for future visits.
This place is AMAZING. We had the Italian wontons for an appetizer which were so good. I had the sirloin bake. Cooked perfectly and so tasty and satisfying.
Sherry Saltimbo waited on us and she did a fabulous job.
If we are ever back in Louisville I want to visit this place again.
Some of the best pasta I've ever had! And the service was excellent! The bread sticks on the other hand were just ok. On a side note our table was so small it was hard to eat with our appetizer and entree on the table.
The gorgonzola dressing is the best I've ever had. Can't stop thinking about it. Service is excellent. I had the spinach & ricotta pizza, outstanding!
You have got to check this resturaunt out! It's one of Louisville's little secrets. They have great Italian food, great service and a great atmosphere. It's a small quaint place, and you'll never find better Italian food anywhere!! Check it out. My neice was a Spaghetti Factory fan, tonight, she changed her mind. She is now a 100% "Come Back Inn" fan. She said Spaghetti Factory spaghetti tasted like basic jar spaghetti sauce, and Come Back Inn's Spaghetti was dull of flavor and definitely...the bomb!
This place is awesome! It has great Italian quality. It’s really good, big servings nice local spot. A hidden Gem. Full bar as well
Great place that's a favorite among locals. Servings are generous and food is great! I sit at the bar when I go, and meet friendly and interesting people every time.
What a great place to go eat. Good atmosphere, incredible food. The portions were enormous
Lovely little spot that is out of the way. Due to being some distance away I normally call ahead for carry out. (So happy they offer that as an option.) The prices are decent and the portions are HUGE. Fair warning...this is real food..not that Chef Boyardee stuff some places try and serve. Highly recommended. I know they have an outdoor patio as an option as well for those who might be interested.
Fantastic Italian place. It’s not a super fancy Italian place, but the food tastes like it is. I got the Amatraciana (pancetta, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion, garlic, Italian herbs and red pepper flakes with an olive oil& Chianti pan sauce) for $13.25. I had enough for two meals. My whole table had enough for two meals.
(Oh and try the wonton app they have, it’s also good!)
Cheese stuffed ravioli and pizzas are so gooood. They arent light on the cheese! Our hostess and waitress were awesome. Didnt wait long for any part of our dinner. I ordered a salad....ranch is made in house and delicious. The marinara is made in house and is delicious as well.
We stopped in Friday for a cocktail and the food looked so good we decided to have dinner Saturday night. We had crab cakes and ravioli. The bartender and owner were awesome. Highly recommend!
Food was hot and very tasty. Service was great
My boyfriend went to college at U of L 20 years ago and we spent the weekend in Louisville and he said this was the one place we had to eat. I'm so glad we did as it was great!! The antipasta wontons are my new favorite thing. The dipping marinara was so tasty! We had the chicken gorgonzola and the greco pastas. Both were delicious in completely different ways. The portions are huge and the prices good. Great meal and cozy atmosphere.
Absolutely amazed with this spot, it is truly a hidden gem! Contrary to the divey look and atmosphere, they make delicious, authentic Italian food - some of the best I have ever had. Their “wontons” are to die for, must try. Come early because this place gets packed. Love this spot!
The server was very good, very attentive, the food was kind of bland and took a very long time to come. We'll give it another try, the visit prior was very good all the way around
We had to wait 20 minutes or so for a table, but the wait was worth it. The pasta dishes were incredible, and the ambiance was like have a meal at a friend's house. Very cozy and delicious.
Great local bar. Delicious food with daily specials. Very good beer and liquor selection. Good lively atmosphere.
**Update** Warning: They are closed on Mondays. I am sure it says that online somewhere but I didn’t know until I got there on a Monday.
Classic Germantown bar and restaurant. Amazing, large portions of pasta, great drinks, cozy atmosphere and awesome staff.
Great food, huge portions. Kathy was awesome!
Delicious food, great waitress. She was very professional
wonderful people.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! I’m never disappointed with anything I get!! My personal favorite is the bolognese! But sooooo many other great options as I have had several items over the years!!! I crave this place often and it’s amazing!
Great Italian food and cozy bar located on the outskirts of downtown. Definitely a place to get your Italian and carb fix in while enjoying some wine or something from the bar.
Clam pasta was a bit watery, but everything else was decent and the service was good.
Small, dark restaurant. Seemed odd when I walked in but the food was absolutely delicious.....fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. You should definitely try them out!
Food was amazing, atmosphere was better but the amazing woman Cathy who waited on us made the evening. Took a min to get some service but that’s because they were busy as can be but Cathy more than made up for it. She took what little time she had to spare and made sure we had a great time.
I will definitely Come Back Inn
locals only. my fav divey italian dinner
cathy the owner is amazing and doesnt tolerate racist old white men 🙏🏼 …
What a hidden gem Come Back Inn is. Authentic Italian, best marinara sauce we have ever had!! Dark atmosphere but good food.
A wonderful neighborhood place with relaxed and welcoming staff. My go to menu pick is the Chicago Italian beef. The house salad is a must have. And their prices make it all even better!
Amazing food and excellent service! I've personally never met anyone that didn't have the very same experience at Come Back Inn!! 5 stars!!
Great food, good service, and great atmosphere. Portions were excellent, and seasoning of the food was superb. We will return.
Food was great but service was very slow. Seemed to be understaffed. If you are looking for a romantic dinner spot this is not for you but if you just want some great Italian food this is your spot.
Great food and service! Only wish Kathy would open up another location in Tell City, Indiana! We love this place! From the dad of the broken boys!
This should be 4 and a half. It was like Old Home week. I've been eating there on and off for 20+ years. The only disappointments were they had run out of Crab Cakes (at 5:15 p.m.) and they didn't list a special. The Saturday dinner special was always a treat to try something different. Sometimes the special wasn't even on the menu. I suppose it is the global logistical nightmare that were responsible for both. If you ever see a special posted again, and are adventurous - I was never disappointed trying them. All together, very happy seeing them on the backside of the pandemic.
We had the boodle fight and the amount of food we consumed was enough to put us all I a coma. Delicious!
Awesome little jewel that I discovered last night. The owner is PHENOMENAL! She is so down to earth and personable. The food was EXCELLENT and I definitely will be returning!
wonderful Italian food, great variety, great taste! worth the trip!
Some of the best Italian food in Louisville! Great value as well! We had a great time here and the service was excellent! The portions were huge and it all felt home made. The atmosphere feels slightly “divey” but do not let that stop you from going! The only con to our experience here was the menu was small, but what they had on there was done well!
My favorite place to eat when I am in town for the Nationals. I will eat there at least twice when in town.....Best food and service anywhere in Louisville
Come Back Inn is the best Italian restaurant in town!! From the ambiance to the staff and the food, this place is a must experience for locals and transients alike. The walls are filled with artifacts and historic photos of our beautiful storied city. The tables are close together for a feeling of enhanced intimacy but will accommodate groups as well. (May wish to contact prior to bringing a group, as many other folks love this place as well!) The staff are always friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. The bar offers a thoughtful selection of wines, beers, and spirits. The food is amazing, and ingredients are always fresh (especially the seafood selections)!! Their red sauce is unparalleled by most, and there is something delicious on the menu for even the pickiest of eaters. Come hungry because the portions are huge... and you'll leave happier than when you arrived, hence the best reason to always Come Back! :)
This place is awesome! The staff is incredible! The food is delicious! We had the hot brown and the gorgonzola pasta. So good! We would highly recommend both! We also tried the bruscetta and the breadsticks both were delicious. Come hungry the portions are huge! We will always hit this place when visiting Louisville, KY
We always appreciate the great food and the wonderful friendly efficient staff. It makes our dining experience a truly great one. We have been there to eat and to celebrate special occasions with our family. and will continue to do so. Thank you.
Great place to grab a drink and have some wholesome plates of food!
We love CBI. It's our go to for family birthdays 🎂 🥳 Everything we've eaten has been yummy 😋 …
I love every one that's work's their, Great place to hang out, Family place, The Food is the best in Town & very clean
Italian roast beef au ju was very good and the serving was huge. I added provolone, onions and mushrooms for a dollar each. Service was excellent.
Delicious! We shared the pasta nachos. Large portion with lots of flavor. I got the chicken bake with fettuccine and alfredo sauce. It was so good! And had plenty left over. Hubby had the Italian Hot Brown. It was a large portion and very good. Service was very good. Cozy atmosphere. Definitely will return.
The food was pretty good, temperature on food was great. Very dark atmosphere but not too bad once eyes adjust but you won't be reading a book and you may struggle seeing the menu. Our server was attentive and mostly polite however she was obviously rushing us out.
I haven't tried much Italian in Louisville until the Comeback Inn caught my eye. The parking lot is a little rough but it is well worth it once you come inside to eat. The breadsticks are delicious and the special hot brown fries blew me away. The portions are generous and the food is on point. I will definitely be coming back!
Some of the best Italian food in louisville!
Friendly staff, great food. They have a ravioli entree that I order and add green olives and mushrooms too and it's the BEST ravioli I've ever had. Caprese salad is great too! I usually try to sit at the bar, but table service is great too.
Amazing food! Small venue but cozy. Service was great, very friendly. Salad dressing and all pasta made in house - delicious. Makes me want to take back some of my previous 5 stars because they were not as great as this place!
Been awhile since I've been but my favorite Italian restaurant in Louisville. If you all think of putting up a location outside of Louisville then Bardstown would be a hit. There are 3 Italian restaurants here that you guys would blow out of the water.
Food is PHENOMENAL. Gorgonzola pasta- yes. If you're a fan of clam sauce and pasta, it's pretty dang good. Bolognese is awesome. Service was great. Atmosphere is very...hole in the wall. Don't expect much here...come for the FOOD.
The food here is fantastic! My favorite is the chicken alfredo pasta. I'm not the most adventurous eater, but they can make a classic dish taste delicious and exciting. And their food stays tasting great when you eat it as leftovers the next day! They also have a great selection of wine and beer to go with your meal, ample seating, and friendly staff. I'm glad this place is such a popular fixture in Louisville because they definitely deserve it for their hard work!
Asked for Cathy she's a great server!
Great service. I had the cheese ravioli, they were great. Other people in my party had the mushroom ravioli special and the gyros. My daughter had the Alfredo. All fantastic!!! The server was very knowledgeable not only with the food menu but also with the wine selection. We took leftovers home and had them for lunch the next day. YUM!!
Love this place, it is out of another era. It is an affordable family meal. (Good Italian) They are always busy. It is loud, it is tight, it is worth it. Everyone is always having a good time. Oh, just a reminder, they will not seat your party until everyone is there. So no sending one or two people a little early to try to snag that table for everyone.
I've been going to Come Back Inn for years and always get the Italian beef sandwich. This time I was concerned about COVID 19 but was very pleased by the obvious seriousness with which management has taken the work of making the restaurant safe and healthy. Great experience.
Always a good time. Friendly, busy, good food, large portions, reasonable prices. A neighborhood tavern turned into a restaurant. I always get the bolognese. All their food is worth the trip except their pizza. They excel everywhere but there. I've taken my family there since the kids were 5yo. That's been 14 years now. It's my kid's and family's favorite place.
It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. We did curbside during the virus. They had great service, it was done on time, and was still hot when we got home! So they get 100% for customer service and all around people skills. It did take a while to get through the phone, but that was expected on a Friday so just keep trying if that happens to you.
The food was okay. Nothing spectacular. It had a decent base flavor but I ended up having to add garlic and a bunch of seasonings to my alfredo because I found it a little on the bland side. My guy got the steak bake and it wasn't really a sufficient serving for the price he felt. The wontons were great though! Definitely a different taste and unique. If i get them again I'll get alfredo to dip them in.
Over all 3 stars since the food was simply okay but I might be willing to try it again.
The Come Back Inn is a gluten lovers happy place. I've never ordered anything I didn't like. The staff and service is spot on; friendly and fast. The food is hot, fresh, and if it isn't made from scratch they have me fooled. Always get bread, it's so tasty!
This is the quintessential neighborhood Italian joint. Down home Italian cooking, fresh ingredients, large portions and very reasonable prices. A decent wine list, local and craft beers on tap, a full bar. Go early, they get busy as the evening progresses.
Food is amazing!! Staff is really nice!!
I just ordered my first carryout from here today and Oooh Heaven is a place on Earth! My woman and I had the jumbo ravioli in marinara and the gorgonzola pasta. Holy freaking moon jumping cow!!! I have never eaten Italian this delicious! Absolutely perfect recipes! Huge portions, half of which are in the fridge. There's no doubt in my mind that the leftovers will be just as amazing. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend! My only disappointment is that I waited this long to eat here. If you're within an hour of this place and feeling like Italian, it'll be well worth the trip!
Heard that this was a nice low-key Italian place so decided to check it out. Definitely has a neighborhood vibe to it and was reasonably priced with big portions. I had the Italian beef sandwich which was good and enough for two meals. Ladyfriend got pasta which was another big portion but pretty simple. She took the leftovers and spiced it up a bit with more veggies for a lunch the next day that she enjoyed.
Everyone was friendly and food was fantastic. I ordered the tortellini sausage special and it was filling and flavorful!
Family run Italian home style food in old bar with cool historic photos. Pizza and pasta and so much more. Love the gyro salad. Nice wine selection. Friendly. Soak up the old neighborhood vibe here. Wish they were open Sundays, but not yet doing that...
Tasty Italian food! Outdoor seating only right now or curbside to-go.
Our curbside order was hot, fresh and packaged well. The staff was so friendly and prompt. The food was delicious especially the wontons! Our family also appreciates the safety measures they have taken for COVID. thanks come back inn!
Nice surprise! The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because my boyfriend ordered a mushroom salad but it had next to no mushrooms. Besides that, I thought it was great. Good food and very cute on the inside.
Love this place, the pasta dishes are amazing. the pasta dishes are very delicious and very well priced and the servings are large. The people are very friendly and the whole atmosphere is really the people that frequent there are nice and so are all the staff.
Was introduced to Come Back Inn by a local family who told me about great pasta. I have to agree - the pasta that I had (cheese tortellini) and the sauce were fantastic. My table also shared a fantastic steak and gorgonzola salad. I would definitely Come Back (Inn) to try more of this delicious food.
I was there last night with a good friend. I love local hole in the wall NO franchise places. The service, food, and atmosphere was awesome. I will be back anytime I come to Louisville. .. I can recommend the Bolognease Dinner and the Oyster appetizer.
Really delicious. We had the fried oysters, bolognese pasta and the chicken bake and all were delicious, one complaint is that there was so much sauce in the bake it seemed a shame to have no noodles in the dish to soak that up. Generous portions all around but particularly the bolognese, easily feeding 2 possibly 3 people. Carryout order on a very busy night, ready when they said it would be. Definitely be back.
Seriously probably one of the very few authentic and tasty Italian restaurants in Louisville. Servers are helpful and nice! Bartender was hilarious! If you go and don't order the breaded ravioli as an app you're going to miss out!
Excellent service, comfortable surrounding and great menu selections. The pasta dishes we ordered were cheese based, large portions and very good. The "bakes" are a very good substitute for anyone preferring a low carb option.
Neat place with a cool vibe. Heard great things but didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered the Amatriciana and what I got was more like Ramen soup. Soggy noodles in a couple inches of a thin sauce with a strong raw wine taste and undercooked vegetables. My wife got the Greco and it was the same way. Tons of raw wine just ruining the dish. We were running late for a show so we just had to eat it and go on. Breaded ravioli was good. Service was fine.
Very dark and loud. Food was a little pricy for pasta. Quality was okay nothing to write home about. The waiter did a good job considering how many patrons he had to take care of. I was not a fan of being jam packed in the dark with strangers.
Pasta, crab cakes and breaded ravioli were all delicious. The chicken in my wife's pasta was a bit overcooked which is why I gave 4 out of 5 but we will try it again. Hopefully it was just bad luck on our part. Overall we were very happy with our meal.
Very good food. Our waitress Kathy who we get alot there Is super nice and just a great server. Please tip her well. We love going to this neighborhood gem.
Delicious, homey, friendly food with great options for keto/lower carb -- very rare for an Italian or Italian-American restaurant. Adamant about safe service. Love them.
The absolute BEST Italian beef sandwich you'll ever have! If you have 2 or more people, order The Godfather. You will not be disappointed! It's a massive mountain of marinated roast beef on a huge bun, complete with sides of provolone, peppers, marinara, sauteed onions, au jus, mushrooms, and Italian sausage.
The service was as good as the food. I didn't get her name, but our waitress today was a older blonde lady, very cheerful and attentive. Great server!
This is by far one of my favorite restaurants. The staff is always nice and the food is delicious. My favorite things to order are the wontons and the chicken alfredo. There is definitely more than enough to take home with you. After eating there, you will definitely want to Come Back Inn.
I have to say that didn't expect to get this good of home style Italian food in Louisville, hasn't been my experience thus far. But Come Back In is the real deal, reminded me of the local places I would be at living in Chicago. The meatballs are perfect, the calamari with peppers were amazing, and the waitress who took care of us was pleasant and friendly like we were friends stopping by for a visit at her house. Come back in??? Damn right I will!!
Mmmmmm Come Back Inn never disappoints. I had the Chicken Gorgonzola & my husband had the Sausage & Meatball Bake. Both were more than we could eat, so now we have lunch for tomorrow! Service was great, atmosphere as well. Will try not to wait so long to go back again!!!
nice little spot with really really good italian pasta! I would definitely come back. I ordered the Gorgonzola and it was delicious. They also have the best breadsticks - the marinara is the best I've ever had!
During our drive home to southeastern Indiana, my daughter was craving Alfredo after her game. Come Back Inn lived up to its reviews! Delicious food in a very friendly old pub atmosphere. The Gorgonzola Steak salad and the Gyro salad were very fresh with outstanding flavor also.
I’ve never been...however kudos to the owners for speaking up against these entitled customers who feel that the “customer is always right”. Most of these people have NEVER worked in this industry and it shows. They don’t know what some servers/cooks/ managers are going through and one day may snap. Thank you speaking up!!!
I ordered food from Come Back Inn for my Mother’s 90th Birthday party. It was absolutely delicious! When it arrived it was extremely hot and ready serve. I had a lot of food rave reviews from our guest. Thank you Come Back Inn for a job well done!!
Great food in unique, cozy atmosphere. Parking lot small but fair amount parking space along street and across in secondary lot. Did not expect such a good quality experience based on location's outward appearance- Highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion!
Amazing prices! We couldn't believe great food and drinks we got for so cheap! Very friendly staff, knowledgeable. This place is a must. If there is a wait when you arrive, stick around, it's worth it! Visited while in town for the weekend and would love to go back!
The owner truly makes you feel welcome. I have been a longtime patron and they haven't disappointed. Food portions are a very filling and the tastes are delicious. Their Italian food adds nicely to Louisville.
This place had some excellent food but it was a little pricey well worth the trip would wouldn't be a regular place to go because of the prices being so high
There are plenty of overly fancy Italian restaurants. For my money this is the best Italian food and experience. Great place for family and friends to break bread with a few beers or cocktails and not break the bank.
Some of the best pasta I've ever had. Great sauce, very friendly waiter and quick refills. No straws though, but that didn't put a camper on anything!
My ONE Complaint is that I don't live closer. This place was so good and so nice. We were later, but they treated us so well. Best alfredo and homemade salad dressings I've ever had.
GREAT food but even better service. with covid we had to do curbside, there was a small mix up with a few orders and the staff did everything they could to fix it, even throwing in free dessert and $10 off our next meal!
Let's start with first walking in, was greeted by someone as soon as I walked in. Then was took right to a out table. We received our drinks quick one complaint is that they don't have straws. We ordered calimari it was perfect, cooked just right crunchy outside soft inside. We then ordered our pasta dishes which were fantastic. I rate it over all 4.5 out of 5 because of the straws and we needed to ask for a new parmesan shaker.
The portions are HUGE. Come early to get seated quickly. Always take home enough to make another meal. We think we'll split a dinner next time. Since our first visit, we've had the restaurant cater a dinner for our fraternity and we've been back to dine twice.
Come Back Inn is probably more known to the neighborhood it is in - not deep downtown or in any place known for restaurants - yet not too far from the Highlands & "restaurant row" - you could easily drive right by. Not much to look at outside; the parking lot is a danger to walk thru due to an upheaval of broken pavement, but there is street parking - if you can find it. The entrance is up a small set of steep stairs & is NOT handicap accessible. Inside, we had to pause to let our eyes adjust, because lighting is low & walls are dark. It looks to be more of a bar than a restaurant, but it is family friendly. Booths line 3 sides, with a bar on the 4th & tables in the center. Service was fast & friendly, but I didn't like it when our server tried to clear items I wasn't thru with or tried to refill my water glass by reaching in front of me & putting her hand right on the rim where I had been drinking. Food was good, but beware sandwiches with meat & cheese; they are fat & sodium bombs! The Italian Hot Brown is a huge plate that could easily serve 2 (if not 3) & only 1/3 was eaten by a hungry, grown man! Good, but probably not going to be a chosen again. The salad was a beautiful tower of greens, cheese, back olives, onions & tomatoes! The house made ranch dressing is very good. The salad was enough for sharing by 2, unless you are getting it as your meal. The Italian wedding soup was very good & makes a great starter - or a meal with the salad. Come Back Inn is a good neighborhood restaurant. Bonus points for being a "Louisville Originals" member 🍴
We had the Italian beef sandwich and Gyro, both were good; the Italian beef was twice the size of the gyro LOL service was excellent its outdoor seating only. Everyone was mask-wearing and social distancing.
Excellent food and a nostalgic setting. Their meatballs alone are worth the visit. The Italian beef is excellent too.
Great service Karen did a great job very friendly great server & the food was amazing, bread sticks were ok. Lg servings, I took 1/2 of mine home and my wife took 3/4 of hers home.
We will come back!!!!!
Food is amazing but it's just so miserably hot in the restaurant I can't even eat. Get your food to go during the summer. It's dangerously hot inside the restaurant tonight.
Really good food and great service!
This is my comfort food. Really good Italian food. Good service. Dark, old style. Where you would go if you wanted to film a God Father scene in Louisville KY.
Louisvillians y'all need to indulge in the bountiful, delicious dishes served up by The Come Back Inn. They kept serving during pandemic times with an added outdoor patio & a rockin' carryout business. Show them lotsa love this winter! You know you need a comforting, warm, flavorful & BIG! bowl of pasta or one of their delicious low carb, no-pasta bakes on a cold winter night! Highly recommend the sirloin bake! Love to Cathy & kids & crew! You can do it Louavull!
Not only is this one of the most charming interiors in the whole city, with the friendliest staff of all time, but the food is the definition of comfort. Always fresh, cooked perfectly, flavorful, and filling.
Best Italian food in Louisville! Dishes made fresh for each order. Fully stocked bar. My family's go to for birthdays, etc. Also offer catering.
Unexpected Italian dive bar and its awesome!! Their red sauces are the prize here. Must try one of those dishes. Fettuccini is a tad heavy with cheese, still good though. Cozy and casual place with a full service bar. Breadsticks are nothing to write home about.
This place has it all! It has amazing food, very personable staff, and a great atmosphere. It's my favorite little hole in the wall, if you can really call it that. It's also crazy cheap. It's one of my top recommendations.
Amazing food, amazing service. I love this place. Stand outs are everything with cream, cheese, and pasta. The fried ravioli is fantastic as well.
Loved it ! There was a little bit of a wait (20 mins) but we ordered a drink and sat at the bar for a min. The bartenders are awesome! And so is the staff ! Also..the food was great! 👌 👍 …
Always one of favorite eateries in the city. Huge portions of fantastic Italian food served in beautiful Germantown section of Louisville. Pretty crowded on a weekend night. Great staff.
The food is consistent every time. Have enjoyed their food for over 10 years! Just discovered their homemade blue cheese salad dressing, amazing! The wontons stuffed with cheese and spices to die for.
One of the best things about restrictions for Covid being eased is getting to go to the ComeBack Inn.Been way too long.Food was as good as it's always been.
And ,the curbside service was prompt,friendly,and correct.
Sub par. Very little flavor, pasta over cooked.
Great Italian food. Wide variety. Full bar. Great staff.
The food was wonderful. The service was excellent. Love trying new things and when you server knows the food it makes your experience that much more enjoyable. Thank you Andrew. We will be back. Rob and Ronda
Loved the food and the service. Great little establishment. We don't have too many good Italian spots but this one is right there among the best.
My daughter and I spent most of the day there Sunday! Of course we were unpaid extras for the filming of 'Starting Up Love', so now I am intrigued enough to go EAT there and try the Portobello sandwich!
This is one of Louisville’s best hidden gems! The pizza is amazing. The pasta is to die for. The staff is always kind and friendly.
Not only is this place one of the best hidden secrets in Louisville, they are also an amazing option for catering! Come Back did some of the catering at my Mom's 90th birthday party... the food, as always, was fantastic - classic, comfort and deee-licious! Thank you Cathy and crew for bringing the Amore' to the party!
So much good food at such a reasonable price. Wait staff is always so kind friendly, and knowledgeable.
Ended up at this place quite by accident and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
With that said, I would like to make a comment about a previous 1 star review. I was not there but I've been in that situation before. I personally do not think saying the name Kareem Abdul Jabbar is a racist act just as I don't think saying the name Larry Bird is a racist act. Something is missing in the communication between owner and customers in this case.
I stand by my rating, and I will go back next time I am in Louisville.
Food and service was excellent. The inside of the restaurant was way to dark. Almost fell down the step after u get on the door. Couldn't hardly see the menu. A man at another table had his flashlight on looking at his menu.
So good! Probably my new favorite restaurant. 5 outta 5, would definitely recommend! Low prices, big portions, delicious food
Great Italian cuisine. Huge portions. We loved the atmosphere. Import beer, nice wines and healthy cocktails.
The food here is some of the best and I would give it 5 stars but when you call more than once to place a to go order and get turned down, its very frustrating.
Like others have said The Come Back Inn is a hidden gem in Louisville. We were promptly greeted and seated. The food, drink, and service were Great. I will be back.
Appetizers and Salad were awesome. Our Roast Beef sandwich was too salty, our Greco Pasta was watery and lacked flavor. Service was great.
I guess Ed is a competitor. This is our first time here.. And Good googly moogly it's amazing. Our wine was just OK but the food. Wowza. My wife got the Hot Brown... I was jealous... I got the meat ravioli. Will be back many times.... My wife is a marathoner...her quote is.
"This place is a pre race must"
We always get the special. It's as close to surprise me as you can get. It doesn't matter what you order. Everything is good. And the portion sizes feed us twice! My favorite date night place.
Established Louisville restaurant, tasty and hearty dishes, good and polite service. Overall good experience, as well as a full bar service. Needs a handicap entrance.
Comeback Inn is a jewel in Germantown. They serve excellent Italian dishes. Everything on the menu is great from their pizzas to the fantastic pasta dishes. I highly recommend it.
Very tasty food, warm atmosphere, not too long of a wait. Andrew is a fantastic server, great table side manner and knowledge of the menu.
The staff is always friendly house salad and home made salad dressing is delicious crab patties are good to. One of my favorite places to go in Louisville
It was pleasant to sit out back. The mushroom pasta was only passable. The linguini was broken in small pieces. The lemon cake was a treat.
1st time there, food was great, service was excellent. Highly recommend
Delicious food and Great Service
Only the best Italian food in Louisville, always served with plenty of food to fill your belly! You're missing out on a gem for Italian food if you've never dined at the Comeback Inn!!!
I have lived in many cities/states over the last 50 years, and been to many expensive restaurants, however had one of my most memoral experiences involving food, with my wife Nancy on our annivrsary. The Comeback Inn is everything you would expect, and more in the tradition of small, quaint dining with very people friendly environment.. Katherine, and her family and staff certainly provide a terrific dining adventure and a great selection of wines to go with the meal. Without a doubt it was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary, and Nancy being second generation Italian, said she cannot wait to return. She said was the best meatballs she has ever had.. (and that is saying alot from her)...Kip Campbell
Great food in large portions and excellent service.
my first time there the food was prepared in a timely manner and the hostess was polite really nice atmosphere 8 outside
Great food in huge portions! The service is fast and extremely helpful. Great place for a really good Italian experience.
The food and service was great. Me and my fiance had our first date at Come Back Inn a year ago yesterday. This place will always be special to us.
One of the best Italian restaurants in Louisville. This is our go to spot for special occasions like birthdays. Gets a little loud at times
I went once and never came bck.a
Friendly, large portion italian eats! If you're a carb-cutting carnivore try the delicious sirloin bake! Or any of half a dozen pasta-less bakes.
Delicious food, great service.very cozy and friendly atmosphere.... I'll being going back very soon. A favorite staple dining place for my 2 girls.😉 …
Best Italian restaurant in the city of Louisville!! You will NOT be disappointed what you will do is return The food is delicious!!! Great atmosphere as well!!
Very good as usual. Steak in salad was soaked in wostershire a bit too heavy.
Great service, great, comfortable atmosphere, and fantastic food. Reasonably priced and always enjoyed. My family has frequented this restaurant for decades, and have yet to be disappointed.
I got a delicious meal in a delightful atmosphere for a great price, and I carried home leftovers from which I ate for a week. Great service, too! I recommend the tortellini!
I got a pizza on a Sunday..it was superb... went in yesterday and got home, opened the box and it wasn't even close to the pizza I had received that Sunday... inconsistent... probably won't be back there... consistency is the key
The Meatball Hoggie is delicious!
Actually all the food here is wonderful! You really can't go wrong with whatever you choose to eat in this nice & cozy little restraunt.
Great Italian spot in Germantown neighborhood. Best meatballs!!!
I done lived all over this here country of ours and even had pizza at the airport in Milan. I’m a tellin’ ya, there ain’t no finer Italian food nowheres but Come Back Inn. Nice folks a’workin’ there too. Not to mention that the prices will done suit anybody’s pocket.
Great food and unmatched hospitality
Very good food. Nice friendly wait staff. If I lived here, it would be a favorite place.
Food was delicious, many options to choose from, a little tight on space, we had a good size group, not great for a big party, would definitely go back with just a couple instead, all the staff was sharp an fast considering how busy they are
Very old school Italian fare. Nothing fancy about the atmosphere, actually quite dark & dingy but the food totally makes up for it. Everything is made fresh & very old school recipes.
Great Itslian food and good service. Laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, good prices. You get a ton of food for your money and the prices are very reasonable.
Love the food. Huge portions...be prepared to eat. Seating is a bit cramped, but the bldg is a bit small., but still cozy. Great prices.
Old, funky, tradition laden. Great service, excellent food, hard to get to, but I loved it!!!

Absolutely phenomenal. Would give 15 stars. Hidden gem in a neighborhood, just a little bar and restaurant but the food....oh the food. Do not pass this place up.
Cornerstone of food and beverage since i can remember. Amazing atmosphere and service. Wonderful food.
One of Louisville’s best
So good we literally went back the next night to get the stuff we couldn't order. Pork loin sandwich and wild mushroom pasta with pesto are my faves
It was our first time in this place and the food, the service was exceptional. Everything tasted very good and our server Andrew was very professional.
Delicious, filling Italian fare in a decidedly comfortable dining room that looks onto a beautiful hand-carved bar.
Near perfect. Great food. Cozy, romantic with fantastic service. Can dress or go casual. Never disappoints.
Laid back and good food. Little loud, but that was okay considering everyone seemed happy! Their wontons are the best anywhere!
