Blue Parrot Restaurant

Embarrassingly Poor. I'm from New England where family owned Italian restaurants are found in almost every corner of Italian ghettos. I went to Blue Parrot with my family expecting truly authentic Italian food but was shocked at how horrible the food was. The pasta was homemade, but was thick, undercooked and overwhelmed the dish. The sauce was tasteless, and the chicken in the parmigian was a thin burnt crisp. The restaurant was old, tired and dirty. In all honesty, I just don't understand how the business has remained open for so long, especially in Louisville. The only positive: service was polite and responsive.…

It's the pasta and sauce.... You go to The Blue Parrot if you like pasta and sauce. Their homemade spaghetti noodles are superior. Their sauce - well, if you like Ragu, this is not the place. If you like hard/dry pasta boiled in water - this is not the place for you. The Blue Parrot is known for their simplier pastas, their huge meatballs, and, best of all (and now bottled and available at Costco in Colorado) their sauce. Original and spicy.…

Extremely Bad Food and then when I complained ............. I will make this short. (1 star is too much) Extremely bad food, tasted like it was heated up in a microwave and looked like it too. Horrible decor unless you like bright, quiet, weird decor, it was not a cozy Italian place at all.

When I tried to call on the phone and complain I was hung up on and then I called back to give the lady a chance to make this right .... she hung up on me again.... Great service!!!!!! (I was not at all offensive or angry I just wanted some of my money back, and she kept offering me gift cards ..... Are you kidding)

I feel bad this is a family owned business but the family needs to make some serious changes as people who choose to take their family out to dinner and spend $60.00 or more want a great all around experience. If other restaurants offer that, then that is what people expect. Your food may have been good way back in the day but the bar has been raised with concepts such as master chefs that prepare food for ordinary restaurants.

Do Not go unless changes are made. Where is chef Ramsey…

Heartless people.... I cant believe you people! you really expect that much? I am Joanie Riggens 12 year old grandaughter and I know this restaurant. we DO NOT serve canned sauce OR canned or frozen pasta. ive been through the kitchens bout a hundred times and i can assure theres one great big pasta maker we make pasta with ourselfs. We also make the sauce. what do you expect from us, a 5 star restaurant from a simple family? You obiously dont appreciate normal italian food. have you never seen a restaurant that you have to pour your own restaurant cuz i know many! And at least we actually give you free bread! We cant make everything homemade you know! we dont have the money or room to hire so many workers to make your precious homemade ice cream, bread, salad, etc. quit complaning! And that 'weird lady' you speak of is my grandma! Also with your decor complaints. do you really need murals or metal art to eat a meal? goodness gracious you people are needy. it makes me sad that you dont appreciate our family owned buisness. AND TO TOP IT OFF, I ONLY MADE THIS ACCOUNT TO WRITE THIS REVIEW. QUIT COMPLANING PLEASE. I BET 90% OF RESTAURANTS USE FROZEN CRAP, BUT WE DONT.…
