So, unlike every other Cincinnatian, I have mixed feelings on the pizza. It's definitely very yummy! But it doesn't blow me away. HOWEVER the jalapeño poppers are literally to die for. They are some of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Especially when they have jus the right amount of heat, with a crispy shell on the outside. Sometimes I go here just to get the poppers after a long day. The servers and hosts are always friendly. What makes this 4 stars for me is I just don't love bars or restaurants with this type of vibe. It isn't my preference. But if you do like more traditional American venues, I'm sure you will love it here.

Friday pizza night, and we decided to try a new / old place: Adriatico's. Near UC, this place has been here a long while. It's a pizza and a bar, so that's the vibe you get. They have many tables and a bar. It was crowded on a Friday night, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes. We ordered an antipasto salad, large, split between 3 of us and it worked great size-wise. Ingredients were fresh, lettuce as crisp - thumbs up from all 3 of us. Then we ordered a personal size Hawaiian pizza (flavorful and delicious) and a chicken pesto Sicilian crust (hubs really loved this while I thought was good). We paid for parking in a nearby garage, and went to Insomnia cookies a block over for dessert. We would go back to Adriaticas again especially if we were in the area.

Fantastic pizza spot with plenty of customization options, from Sicilian-tossed to hand-tossed pizza, along with a wide range of toppings to choose from (with toppings like banana peppers, anchovies, pineapple—a perfect blend of savory and sweet if you share my taste ?). The Parmesan breadsticks were also a great appetizer, with warm and fluffy breadsticks coated in Parmesan that would easily be a crowd pleaser.

I tell everyone that if you want good pizza in Cincinnati, then you have to go to Adriatico's! Delicious pizza, great atmosphere, friendly and quick service! This is a college area, so lots of younger people, but that means this place is always busy, lively and fun! But even when we've walked in with a line almost out the door, they always manage to get us seated relatively quickly. The only con of this place is the parking...there used to be a lot next door, but that's gone now, so you have to hunt down an open space on the street, and it is a busy part of town, so depending on how lucky you get, you might have to walk a little ways. But...well worth it! I know Cincinnati isn't actually known for having great pizza... but if more people knew about Adriatico's, we could be!

I came with the family, 6 of us.My wife made the best observation: It's rare, post Covid, to have young employees AT ALL, let alone have good ones. These employees, she noted and I agree, were willing to serve, did it with a smile, were working diligently and our server was interesting, interested, and happy to do his job.That said, the good was awesome! We are from outta town, but THAT is good pizza!! I really wish it was in our area, I'd pick it often!

In a nutshell, this NY style pizza place is arguably the best in the city of Cincinnati! The sauce itself has a rich taste and a kick! It is highly likely to revisit and is absolutely recommended for pizza lovers.

Our 1st time dining here. Pizza, zoni and appetizers were all great. The place was busy but our service was still great and prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back!
