on Citysearch Jun 03, 2009Stumbled across this restaurant while looking for a place to eat on Main Street in Louisville. The fried zucchini was promising but the tomato sauce was terrible (flavorless). The meal went down from there. The... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2009Worst Italian food I have ever had. If you have been to Italy you would understand. Served Chianti that had a taste like watered-down grape juice. Noodles were thick and sauce was like eating Ragu. No spice, no... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 13, 2009Great food been going there for 30 years. I think the food was better before the place burned down. The salad they need to add onion and tomato's. You order a large you will take 1/2 of it home :).... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 12, 2009If you want to try this great food stick with the spagetti and sauce, try the link sausage to go with it. thats what this place is all about. If you are the yuppy type and expect the fancy frills, go for the take out and eat it... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 26, 2009good prices, bad food, and poor service. We would NEVER eat there again. We ate 1/4 of the food, had it boxed up, and I brought our food home and seasoned it until it tasted decent again. I had to add some sauce, garlic, and... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 14, 2009I lived in Boulder during the 70's and went there once. I took my wife there on a recent visit and she was not impressed at all. This place does have a strong local following but I can't understand why. The spaghetti sauce... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2008It is unfortunate that such a well known family owned restaurant has one of the most horrible foods I have eaten. I had eggplant Parmesan which did not seem homemade. The breading was pretty bland, not much seasoning... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 23, 2008OK, I realize everyone that loves this place grew up with it, as did I, but honestly... the noodles are thick and the sauce is not just "watered down tomato paste" it's famous throughout the state. Go to your local... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 23, 2008The blue parrot is a quaint Italian restaurant. This place has been around forever. While growing up in Boulder we had several satisfactory meals. I suggest sticking with the homemade spaghetti. The atmosphere is... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 16, 2008We have been going to the Colacci family of restaurants for over 30 years. The egg noodles, the pitchers of sauce, the spumoni! This is pure comfort food. Nothing fancy, nothing you aren't expecting. Just good solid... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 08, 2008My husband grew up in Boulder and raved about this place, so on a recent trip back we went there. Living in nyc for twenty years, I was used to really great italian. This place was horrible !! The Spaghetti was disgusting... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 23, 2008I grew up in the Boulder area and one of our regular family rituals was to head to Louisville for Italian food. Colaccis, Blue Parrot, Luigi's, Pasquale's, all were good. Now it seems that the BP is all that's left, but... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 02, 2008Last night my boyfriend and I decided to go out for Italian. We were intending on going to Pasquini's, but to our dismay, it was no longer there. So we tried what we thought might be the next best thing; the Blue Parrot. We... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 24, 2008I finally visited with Blue Parrot with my husband after hearing about it for many years. His family has been dining there since he was a child. It was a wonderful meal with great service. We had the sausage sandwiches... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 30, 2007I read the reviews here before I went to the Blue Parrot and thought my family and I would be going to a great Italian restaurant for my birthday dinner. Some reviews made it sound like the Blue Parrot was full of great... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 22, 2007Notice that all the "good" reviews are written by people who grew up with the place, or remember going there with their parents, and have all these happy little memories about it. This is NOT a restaurant that you just... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 20, 2007I love this restaurant. Did this family previously own the Louisville restaurant Three Coins in the Fountain? (more)

on Citysearch Sep 16, 2007Heard about it for years. Tried it and found NOT ONE HEALTHY thing on the menu. When asked if they had minestrone, I was told "no and don't go for the soup, it is Campbell's" NO salad meals at dinner (Good Grief, even... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 12, 2007The Blue Parrot war the worst restaurant we visited in Louisville since we moved here a year ago. We were four people and everybody's food was terrible. The kids plainly refused to eat theirs - and we could not blame... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 02, 2007I can't believe these snobs that don?t like the place. My parents took me to the Blue Parrot 50 years ago and other than a few years while in the Navy, I have driven up to 50 miles each way, at least once a month since. (I... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 29, 2007<b>In Short</b><br>This cozy Main Street eatery was founded in 1919 by members of the Colacci family. Today the Colaccis still own and operate the restaurant using guarded family recipes. Even the décor... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2007I can't believe what I am reading. I have been going to the Blue Parrot since I was a little girl. We'd go for all kinds of special occasions. It is a family owned business, not a franchise, so if you want all the fancy stuff... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2007I don't know how this restraunt is still in Business. I drove from boulder and had never been to Historic Louisville. The only thing this restraunt has going for it is the location. Inside it is like a Sizzler with a... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 25, 2006I was really upset to see other reviewers comparing the Blue Parrot to those cookie cutter chain restaurants. I have been going there for 30 plus years. The food has been exactly the same wonderful food. It has been... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 21, 2005How this place got its reputation is beyond me. The food is average at best and dismal at worst. The average age tends to be about 102. The spaghetti looks like fire hoses covered in red sauce. Better food can be found a... (more)
