“Chicken Parmesan and salads were excellent. Pastas just okay. Service was good. Our group was supposed to get unlimited soda but we had to point it out in our contract to the server to get the soda.Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian pastasKid-friendliness: We had a group of 70 kids and they did great with them“
“I don't usually write reviews, and I'm sure of all reviews mine doesn't make too much difference - but I could not let this one go without saying how truly amazing this was. My server Sarah (apologies if not spelled correctly) was absolutely amazing - gave me a free lil palette cleanser of the passion fruit sorbet (freaking amazing). You go in expecting to pay a good bill, but honestly it was SUPER reasonable for the amount of food I got, the service, food quality, and the environment.I felt super comfortable eating alone here, too, so bonus points for that.Also - the food is incredible. My taste buds were so jazzed about it. If I could recreate the sauce that came with the veal short rib, I'd put it on everything haha.Anyway, kudos to the chef, and kudos to my amazing waitress Sarah. Would come back to Cincinatti for this restaurant ❤️“
“This experience was… perfect. Sorry the photos aren’t the best quality, I was too excited to eat. The food was *chefs kiss* absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. I wish I could give 10 stars— probably my new favorite place in Cincinnati.“
“We were here for a mid afternoon meal to celebrate a birthday. The Service was stellar, food was delicious and each person in our party of 5 loved their meal as well as the craft cocktails some of us enjoyed. It was my first experience having an apparel spritz and it was quite enjoyable. The price point per person with beer and cocktails was about $45 per person. I wasn’t sure how formal the attire would be and wore a casual dress with sandals. That was almost dressed up compared to most for the time of day, lots of shorts and jeans, if this helps anyone decide on what to wear. I highly recommend this establishment and will be going back.Dietary restrictions: The server made a point to ask if any of us had any dietary restrictions.“
“Went for a birthday dinner and had an excellent time. The service is impeccable--efficient, friendly, with all of the added touches of a fine dining establishment. The food overall was very good, although not perfect. The Amish chicken was a little too salty and the tartare was good but uninspired. The scallop was by far the best dish, I would come back again just for that!!Dessert was delicious, well balanced, with excellent pairings.Overall, would very much recommend.“
“Best Service I've had all year. The appetizers and dessert were phenomenal.Full disclosure, I found my penne dish a little dry, but the ingredients themselves were delicious. Do not skip ordering the bruschetta.An amazing meal that didn't leave me feeling gross. Thank “
“Overall we had a wonderful meal at Rosie's. The salmon oreganata was delicious- perfectly cooked salmon, tender and flavorful. My husband had the rigatoni vodka. The pasta was cooked well and sauce had pleasant warmth from the chilis. We also had the crispy potatoes which were also quite good. Everything was portioned well and we're both full by the end (still had room for a scoop of vanilla gelato though- definitely recommend). We will be adding Rosie's to our rotation of Cincy date nights.“
“Canporosso always does a fantastic job with their wood fired pizza. It's the closest thing to real Neapolitan pizza in the area. Service was very good and the atmosphere is like a local pub. Usually crowded for dinner, but worth the wait.Parking: Only about 20 spaces available behind the building so finding a place can be difficult.“
“I stopped by Mama's while on a work trip looking for solid Italian food. This is a hard find in the Cincinnati area, but Mama's delivers. The chicken Parmesan was good, but the meatballs are the winner. Perfect date night place with an inviting atmosphere, definitely worth trying.“
“Best pizza in Cincinnati.We ordered margherita and hawaiian pizzas, and they were both perfect. Il Gusto pizza is ultra thin and crispy with high quality ingredients. The margherita especially was fantastic, and even my young children loved it.The greek salad was fresh with a house made dressing. We wished there were whole kalamata olives, but it was still delicious.“
“I love everything about VV. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The espresso macchiato is perfection in a beautiful teal blue cup. I love to enjoy one in the front window and watch the happenings of Mt. Lookout square. VV is not just a coffee shop though, they also have delicious pastries, sandwiches, meals, and drinks.“

“Service and food was really good. Favorite was the flatbread pizza. Obviously a great wine selection. Server was friendly, engaging, and helpful in selecting items. The special this evening was gnocchi was excellent. We always enjoy going to this restaurant.“
“I was visiting for medical travel and it was a rainy yucky day so my husband stopped in for lunch. I'm a super picky eater. I chose the mushroom ravioli and my husband ordered balsamic glazed cod. The food was so delicious. My only regret is I eat too little so I was full after two ravioli..the flavors were amazing. A really nice change from the offerings we have in Sarasota Florida. I would definitely return with a bigger appetite!Dietary restrictions: I was impressed that the server opened with asking if we had any food allergies, which fortunately we don't but I thought that was great that they asked up front.“
“After a few disappointing visits to "best holiday brunch" spots we decided to check out someplace under the radar - our radar at least. I am a sucker for Italian food and Via Vite was having an Easter Sunday Brunch Buffet. Seems like a no brainer to me. We placed our reservations on Open Table and were charged a 50% hold fee for the reservation. With so many people no-showing on reservations these days, this makes sense to me. We arrived just before our time and were quickly shown to our table. The server was prompt and before you know it, we were heading for food. The buffet was not large, but if the items were good, there's no need for volume. Quality over quantity every day. The food was exceptional for holiday meal. The pasta and gnocchi dishes were fresh and tasty. The breakfast dishes were excellent. Fresh scrambled eggs, not powdered eggs. The French toast was made with Italian bread with added an unexpected and pleasant twist to the classic breakfast item. The bacon was butcher cut and perfectly chewy - at least perfect for me. I know some people like it crunchy. There was also roasted strip steak, carved on demand, and perfect little desert cups. The menu said salmon, but I did see it, maybe I missed it. It doesn't matter, I was highly satisfied. We will return. My only real complaint has ZERO to do with the restaurant, the parking at Fountain Square was $9, flat rate. NINE DOLLARS for 90 minutes. I thought the purpose of 3CDC was to support businesses within the CBD and OTR. Over priced parking will deter people from coming downtown for something less formal. If you want to grab lunch say at CityBird, the parking will cost you more than a sandwich. Nonsense.“
“The food is always great here you can get pizzas, hoagies and even spaghetti. You can get different types of hoagies such as hoagies with mushroom sauce or pizza sauce or just a hoagie with pizza sauce and cheese . I have got food here for many years. You will really like this place and their foodWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp that can take you up to the door to get in.“
“Great dinner last night, our first time here. Got to the bar area around 5:30, there were some seats around the bar and a high top or two to choose from. Everything was good. Scallops were excellent with the eggplant not far behind. The Italian chopped salad was good but the roasted vegetable salad was better, we both thought. Don't skip the eggplant or scallops. Vodka pasta was good as expected too.“
“Here is my Favorite Gelato spot in Cincinnati. It has everything; The location which is a few steps from the Findlay Market which I tend to go frequently when planning to make a nice dinner, they have great service, the chill ambiance and of course the delicious gelatos. One of the main reasons I always tend to stop on this one is because they normally have Pistachio flavored gelato which is a big must for my wife and the other besides of my favorite flavor (cookies and cream) well there actual Ice cream cookies which are amazing! So amazing that I couldn't take a picture of it, BUT! if you look at the pic with the different flavors, they are are the bottom right corner. Definitely need to try them. If you haven't tried this place, give it a try, it wont disappoint.“
“Awesome place one of the best Italian dining experiences in Cincinnati. If you're seeing something in the bakery on your way in to dine, get it then. Good chance it'll be gone when you come out. It's that goodParking: Popular place during peak dinner hours. Street parking near by“
“Had dinner at Subito on Saturday night and Gina’s service was exceptional. I was there with two girlfriends, and she provided great recommendations and was a pleasure to talk to. The Short Rib Campanelle was awesome. The food / wine and atmosphere were good and we really enjoyed ourselves, but Gina made our experience.“
“Dinner was wonderful!! Stuffed chicken. Carolina said she was new but she knew her stuff! Very friendly and funny. Would request her time and time again!Vegetarian options: I had to fill this part out to go forward. None of the options applied.Dietary restrictions: Same“
“Me and my dad went here before going to the Cincinnati FC soccer game. We were recommended this place on reddit and it did not disappoint. We got the eggplant stack and shared a Detroit style spinach pizza. Highly recommend if you want to get some great pizza in downtown Cincinnati.“
“"Chef James at Piada is a culinary genius! The carry-out Italian food from Piada is simply delicious. The flavors are authentic, the ingredients are fresh, and the presentation is top-notch. Chef James's passion for Italian cuisine truly shines through in every dish. I highly recommend trying Piada for a taste of Italy right at your doorstep!"“
“Absolutely love Nicolas. I always recommend it to friends when they want an upscale, nice dinner that’s worth the price. The service is fantastic and I’m always impressed with our server’s knowledge of the wine and food menu. You also gotta get the bread basket! I always have a delightful time, Nicolas never disappoints.“
“We ate here on the request of my son who lives right up the street. We don't live in Cincinnati and actually went back just to have this food again. I must say when I ordered I was skeptical, the menu didn't give me what I wanted. I am glad I got past that because everyone's food was incredible. Totally not a chain and totally unlike any other Italian food I have had recently . Very nice surprise“
“One of the best places to go for dinner in the Cincinnati area. Great service, pasta is incredible, and I highly recommend the braised short rib. Good options for vegetarians also. Only slight down side is the dining area feels congested wrt how close tables are to each other.“
“Food and ingredients are great. I simply do t like the intimidating people who manage the counters. One can call them outright curt. If I’m paying $13 for a regular salad, I should be made to feel as if I’m asking too much from them. Been here ~5 times and have got the same experience always. Bad. I don’t wish to visit this place again. Will miss the food.“
“This is one of the best pizzas you can get in Cincinnati! Fresh ingredients and I am allergic to pizza sauce so I get garlic butter brushed on the crust. Other pizza joints won't do that for you, but Italianette has NEVER questioned my request. ❤️❤️❤️“
“The Spring specials were delicious! My spouse had the Tuscan grilled lamb T-bones and I had the linguine primavera. Our server, Kim, was perfectly attentive. All the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Perfect Saturday evening!Parking: Plenty of parking near the door“
“This Carrabbas location always seems to do it right every time. Tonight was excellent, from our wine all the way to the dessert. The service was spot on, our waitress Colleen was wonderful and super helpful, she really went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable Saturday night out. There's tons of nice happy hour choices too. I cant recommend this place enough.“
“Excellent pizza and fairly good service. Not the most friendly of people working the counter when I've visited, but certainly not rude. The atmosphere is definitely old school pizza joints from back in the day. Definitely a must visit for this side of town. Get their Big Gripp Pizza!“
“Great locally owned restaurant for getting some pizza! Our whole family is gluten free so finding good pizza on a gluten free crust can be difficult. Their gluten free crust is really good and the whole family enjoys it. GF crust is a $3 add on and if you are hungry then you can eat the whole thing. Check this place out!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crusts available and taste great!“
“We stopped in for lunch on Sunday. There were 4 of us, and we all chose something different so we could share. The pizza was delicious, perfect crust and flavorful toppings. The Appetizers were so good, next time I will have one of everything. Go, don't wait for tomorrow,..?“
“kinda slipping lately - food is slow to come out of the kitchen, and no staff, I mean no staff when we left the restaurant. Does not have that local friendly feel anymore where they are glad to see you and make sure, while you are there, that everything is good....hope it comes back!“
“The food is fantastic, I’ve had it plenty of times delivered and it’s quickly become one of my favorite slices. It’s also the go to for our office pizza lunches. Having ate at the restaurant twice now, well, still the same great food but the mom and pop atmosphere is something you don’t find often these days. When you eat there you feel like family!“
“Having lived in Newport I had to visit while working on a project in KY- food just as awesome as it was over 20 years ago when I moved north. This is the place if you're into classical Italian food. They're very accommodating, prices seem almost low for the quality of food they serve. Very good value for money spent. Be sure to take a stroll around beautiful Newport after dinner- you'll enjoy seeing all the restored Victorian homes- there's NO WHERE ELSE LIKE NEWPORT! Wish I had stayed“
“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!“
“Probably the third best NY style pizza in Cincinnati. The sauce and crust were both very good! Cheese was ok and I thought there was a bit too much garlic, but that’s just a personal preference. The biggest downside is the price - $28 for an 18inch margherita is a bit steep, especially compared to the competition. Overall though it was a solid pie - will be back to try their Detroit style pepperoni + hot honey, which seems to be their signature.“
“I am a customer for more than 6 years.the waiters are so friendly the food is never change(delicious)since i knew them.that is my favourite place to go with friends and families.Trust me if you will go one day you will be a permanent customer“
“We recently attended a private "pop up" dinner here. The home made pasta dishes were absolutely delicious and the best pasta that I have experienced outside of Italy. All meal courses were wonderful and unique. The chef has a true gift. The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return!“
“Our experience at Al Posto was amazing! This was our first time and we were very excited to try it. We had the scallops, spaghetti and meatballs, and the Orecchiette and it was all incredible.. especially the scallops. Cory made the recommendations not only for the entrees but wine and dessert which we also loved! Overall wonderful experience.. will definitely be back.“
“We had a fantastic lunch everything was prepared well the service was friendly and very attentive and the atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable I highly recommend this locationVegetarian options: Soup and salad is always a good option“
“Visited Scotti's for the first time last night for dinner. The atmosphere is incredible. Old style Italian American. Low lighting and very romantic. I didn't remember our server's name but I will try to get it so I can request him again. The service was perfect. Started with some bread and got some olive oil to mix with parmesan cheese for dipping. The bread was soft, fresh, and a great opener. The minestrone was rich and full of flavor with al dente pasta shells. Ordered a side of meatballs. The red sauce was excellent - not too acidic and lots of flavor. The meatballs were huge. The texture was awesome. The meat was extremely soft and just fell apart when you cut into it. The taste was great with there a good amount of garlic. I ordered the Fettuccine Ala Guido and had them add shrimp. The Alfredo was creamy, buttery, and the best I've had. The portion was huge - I wasn't able to eat even half. My wife ordered the Cannelloni Speciale. The filling was awesome, pasta was perfectly al dente, and it was the same great red sauce as on the meatballs. I'm so glad we got both dishes so we could try each other's. Did dessert we got some tiramisu and cannoli both were excellent. My wife generally doesn't like cannoli but really liked theirs. Without question we will plan to return, and I strongly recommend you try them!“
“It's been well over a year and was craving something from there. I got Lasagna and Chicken Parm and split themeal between two and still needed a d)Vegetarian options: They have labeled options on the menu. I'm positive that you can probably change the order to suit you.“
“I came in on 12/20/2023. I had received a gift card for Christmas for a free meal, this happened to me the same day I totaled my car. The manager was so very kind and told me to keep my card. I lost it in the middle of the restaurant. This man restored my faith in humanity and made my day a little brighter. He is a wonderful employee and I hope he gets recognition for his upstanding show of humanity.“
