About
A soulful, American Mediterranean restaurant, Decca brings the talents of chef Annie Pettry to 812 East Market Street. A commitment to locally farmed and small production ingredients is evident in the kitchen and throughout the bar and wine program. Decca makes its home in a historically renovated 1870's building, and features two intimate dining rooms, a private dining room, an outdoor courtyard, and a beautiful brick and limestone cellar for libations and revelry. Located in the heart of downtown Louisville's NuLu district, Decca is excited to feature local artists and musicians alongside inspired food and drinks in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Very good restaurant near the AC Hotel in NULU. Thoughtful balanced, flavorful food selections from Chef Annie Pettry's NULU location. Food was very good, Catherine, our server was great! Some of the other staff seemed somewhat stiff almost aloof. Hope they lighten up a bit...More

Delicious! Two of us enjoyed a great dinner here last night. The mussels were amazing! We also enjoyed the kale and brussels sprout salad and a few other items. Highly recommend this great restaurant. They have a super cool bar in the basement too!

We had a business meal in an upstairs private dining area, which was a great experience. The menu was predetermined but there were plenty of options for everyone. The food was fantastic and the service excellent.

Our original plan was to go to the BBQ place, but it was a total zoo and nowhere near pleasant dining. We had looked at the Decca menu online, and it looked promising, so we crossed the street and headed to Decca. The restored interior...More

Decca has one of the best chefs in town and has been a top spot for interesting seasonal menus. The large patio provides the most pleasant outdoor dining experiences in downtown Louisville. Service is more professional than most Louisville restaurants. Highly recommended.
