“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 ❤️“
“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.“
“Hands down great experience! I've never gone to a restaurant before and had the server make me feel like I was joining them for dinner in their home for the first time. To keep it short, the pistachio ice cream is probably the most amazing thing I've ever tasted and Bailey was the best server I've ever experienced. Thank you Sotto, those two things alone are sure to keep us coming back!“
“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.“
“Shh, don't tell anyone this is the best Easter and Mother's Day brunch spot in the city. The service was outstanding and they hand-rolled and stuffed their pasta for the buffet. The scenery was beautiful with freshly planted flowers and of course the fountain. It was the perfect morning at the perfect restaurant.Parking: Fountain Square paid parking garage.“
“The ambience is lovely. Had a great date night dinner here. From the cocktails to the marinated olive appetizer to my gluten free version of the rigatoni with vodka sauce and roasted chicken I was so pleased with everything! Absolutely delicious. The lobster ravioli my boyfriend had could have been a bigger portion.“
“Dining in with a Stromboli. Bringing it to the table took a few minutes, because it was cooked for me. And it tasted delicious. The cup of marinara was the perfect size (and perfect taste). This isn't high-brow Italian. This is GOOD Italian. I'll be back.Parking: Hundreds of parking spaces available.“

“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 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.“
“Omg the food is to die for. I didn't know they had a dress code at 1st and went in my everyday clothes and felt so outta place, so please keep in mind this is a fancy place so dress up like ur going to church. But it's worth it to dress up for the food and everything is wonderful.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Stopped in for a late lunch around 2:30. I had the tomato basil soup and house salad. Hubby had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and wedding soup. We split a slice of limoncello cake. Serve was friendly, informative, and attentive. Our drinks were always topped and he stopped by just enough to check on us. The tomato basil soup was so flavorful! Creamy and just a touch sweet. The house dressing on the salad was lemony and delish. Hubby’s soup was savory and full of good things. The housemade pasta and sauce were delicious. Creamy and garlicky without being too strong. That limoncello cake was so good, we got a slice to go!“
“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. ❤️❤️❤️“
“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.“
“Fantastic Italian restaurant! It was interesting that they make most of their pasta noodles themselves. We started with the arancini di riso appetizer which was absolutely delicious. One family member had tagliatelle bolognese and he devoured it in no time and almost licked the bowl. Another member had the gluten free tagliatelle bolognese and she said it was great. Gnocchi was the choice of another member and she really loved it. I had bucatini amatriciana which was unbelievably good. Then for dessert we shared the tiramisu and vanilla crème brûlée. Oh my, they were fantastic! Our favorite was the tiramisu, but both were excellent. I had a contratto sour to drink which was very good. I have never had one before so I can’t say how authentic it was, but I enjoyed it. The host was very friendly and took us to our table right away. The server was amazing. She knew the products very well and was able to tell us what each product was. She also never let our water glasses run dry! Even though she had a handful of tables, it felt as though we were her only customer. The manager talked to us several times as well as every other table in the restaurant. We didn’t have any problems but I’m sure she would have taken of them. Everyone in the restaraunt was very friendly and very welcoming. I highly recommend this place!Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free pasta and was very good.“
“The food was good as usual. The guys working the line were efficient and friendly and helpful. It was on the busy side when we were there.I will remark that the line and food was pretty messy. I imagine due to it being busy but it is worth noting.“
“We love Giovannis. Great local family place with authentic and affordable Italian food. Stuffed shells, lasagna, and the garlic bread are always amazing. Also if you love tiramisu this is your place because it doesn't get much more authentic and tasty!“
“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!“
“Doordashed from here. Pepperoni Piada Stick (There's only one per order), Basil Pesto and a Blackberry Hibiscus Lemonade. The lemonade was elevated. ? They sell it by the gallon. Buy it! The pesto was filling, and the portion size was hearty. The pepperoni stick was a little soggy, by the time I got it, but I could tell it was tasty and cooked well when it was fresh. I'd say give 'em a shot.“
“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!“
“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,..?“
“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!“
“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.“
“This place came highly recommended to me on a recent trip to Findlay Market. I just wanted to try something different and was curious about the brown butter sage sauce. I asked one of the employees what he would recommend to go with that sauce and he said normally it would be a ravioli they were out of but he also recommended the spinach noodles with it so I tried those. I asked for whatever size serving would be big enough for two and what I got was more than enough when we made it at home. The dish was super creamy goodness and I just kept coming back to it. They make all their own pasta fresh and it is absolutely worth checking out. I plan on going back and trying more things in the future.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
