Everything was delicious! Apps, salad and pizza! Cocktails were tasty and the wine menu is superb! Will definitely be back! We enjoyed a fun girls night out and shared everything we ordered - we loved the Cacio E Pepe, Caesar and another salad (not sure which one it was), and we ordered a variety of 3 pizzas - pepperoni Diavola - both great but my favorite was Funghi, Excellent service! Such a nice time!

First time trying Razzo and had a great experience. Our waitress was very attentive and gave us the rundown of the menu. The food menu is small, but they have an extensive natural wine list. I believe she mentioned they are the only restaurant in the city to only offer natural wines on their menu, so if that interests you I'd recommend it. She recommended the arancini (risotto balls) and they were delicious. Fried and cheesy. We ordered a large pizza with the house ranch. I loved the pepperoni, my partner preferred the margherita. The pizza has a focaccia base and it is delicious. Somehow soft and crispy at the same time. I absolutely loved it, but I wouldn't say come here if you're specifically wanting pizza. It felt more like a flatbread situation. Still very delicious! Also the house made ranch is great. I'm not someone who typically dips pizza in ranch, but because of how the pizza was cut and how good the ranch was, I recommend trying it. I will say, the reason we picked this place was because of their Instagram presence. We saw some posts and thought this would be a sexy date spot. Though we did enjoy it, that really wasn't the vibe. Because the restaurant is so new, I think they're still trying to find their niche. Seating is limited so make sure to get a reservation. It was also quite pricy. However, I will be sure to come back again and check out their happy hour as well as their brunch.

It was our Son's birthday! He was the one that recommended your restaurant! He was right! The food and service were perfect. The Italian salad was the best I have had eaten. The two pizza's were excellent! And the sandwich (can't remember the name) was really good. My daughter and I enjoyed the Bloody Mary . Your wine selection was very good especially the Reds of which I enjoyed a glass. Thank you! We will be back.
The service was amazing. The Italian salad was to die for, the pasta was also amazing, as well as the drinks. The pizza was okay. But I would recommend this place to anyone! I would go and get apps and pastas to share! I can't wait to go back!

Meatball was delicious. Other apps, salad and pizzas were fine but not to the level I expected. We felt a better version of each could be found elsewhere downtown. Huge cubes of pepperoni seemed very out of proportion for salad and pizza. $10 for house Kolsch seemed very pricey. Took nearly 30 mins for food order to be taken despite numerous other staff walking by us. Offered a complimentary gelato at the end of the meal due to the wait which we declined so they comped a drink. Once bill was brought it was at least another 15 minutes before waitress came to cash us out despite, again, numerous staff walking by and seeing our card sitting on top of the bill. Came in excited for a new Italian option downtown and to celebrate a birthday but left disappointed. In hindsight probably picked the wrong place for the occasion.

Tried Razzo for the first time this week and can't wait to go back. The service was excellent and we loved all of our food. The patate was our favorite of the night. They have a bar area as well for walk ins.

The space is beautifully decorated and gives a cozy feel. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and felt right at home.The dinner was great. The sauces were very flavorful and the presentation was beautiful. The menu is simple with some classic recipes to choose from. We didn’t try the pizza this time but the selections seemed intriguing (next time).The prices are fair. The food is great. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun.

The pizza and salads are truly delicious. They seem to be gettting the kinks out of their systems now that they have been open for a few months. It's a bit too dark and too noisy to read the menu and have conversations comfortably. But we will be returning and bringing friends, just because the food is really good.
We had the meatballs and arancini as apps and they were to DIEEEE for! Meatballs were super juicy and tender with delish sauce and the arancini had the most perfect crunchy outside and a soft cheesy inside. Will go back just for those! We had pepperoni, funghi, and Diavola pizza. The diavola was our favorite with the perfect amount of spice. The focaccia pizza crust is drool worthy. Can't wait to try their Sunday brunch!!!

The whole experience was vibey and low-key late night fun with friends (we had a 930 resy)My group had a little bit of everything. The 3 must try items: antipasto salad, meatballs, cacio de pepe. You will not be
Intimate Italian eatery with a great menu. I had a delicious Penne Alla Vodka (including calamari) with wine. Service was also very good.Located in the Pendleton neighborhood. Decent parking within a block (also, it's only a 2 block walk north of the casino; likewise only 2 blocks east of Main Street in OTR).

Great food, great vibes, great staff. Place is a 10/10. Highly recommend for date nights or just a casual bite and a couple glasses of wine. On a side note, don't sleep on the Razzo Kolsch. Their house beer rips!

If you have ever eaten something and think about it daily again until to give in and go THIS WILL BE ADDED TO THAT LIST! The Diavolo is my favorite. The espresso martini is a must. I also had an old fashioned that was delicious. My husband likes the Italian lager. Excellent food!

Wonderful little place in the Pendleton area across from Lucius Q and near the Cincy Braxton Brewing. They specialize in pizza. We're getting the Fungi pie cuz I'm a crazy guy for mushrooms, that's why. The pie was really good...10 x 14 inch square for the large. 8x 10 inch for the small. $30 and $17 each. Street parking and lot parking.
