“I love Jet's pizza. I usually get the lunch special, two cheese slices with a drink and a side of ranch and it never fails to satisfy. But the 4 corner is my favorite thing maybe in the world, the turbo crust with a drizzle of the sweet and spicy sauce on top 🤤🤤 staff is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, I eat it 3 to 4 days out of the week (I have a problem) (a pizza problem)😂“

“Sotto embodies the feeling of understated luxury. From the wood-fired oven to the homemade pasta, the chef's dedication to every dish is evident. I particularly enjoyed their Italian meatballs and roasted eggplant appetizers, which paired perfectly with a glass of red wine. This place isn't just about dining; it's about enjoying a mini culinary journey. If you're in Cincinnati, be sure to make reservations in advance; otherwise, it's very difficult to get a table.“

“As I’m writing this review I’m still in shock! I’m in Cincinnati on business and I was craving Italian. I can’t believe there’s not a line around the block just for the meatballs! My family owned an Italian seafood restaurant in NJ for 26 years and I can say without hesitation the meatballs here are the best west of Arthur Ave in the Bronx! My NJ mind is blown!“

“We celebrated my birthday at Carmelo’s, our first time there. The experience was incredible, and our server was exceptional. The food was absolutely amazing & I can’t stop thinking about it! We had the oxtail pasta and the red fish. Fish is my favorite, and I’ve never had better tasting fish. Our server also convinced us to try the cauliflower, which was amazing. I’m already planning our next visit!! Shout out to Mitch and his partner for creating such an amazing restaurant!“

“As an Italian, I’m really happy and proud that Italian cuisine is well represented by Nicola’s. I went there with my lady to celebrate Saint Valentines in advance, and we were so happy to spend our time there. The place is wonderful, the service is perfect and the food… the food is astronomical! Personally I do love the Malfatti “A true love for Rome”. As being born and raised in Rome I do really appreciate that love for my city. Definitely a 10/10, and best place to experience Italian cuisine. P.S. Italiani, se siete di passaggio a Cincinnati fate un salto da Nicola, non ve ne pentirete“
