29 Best Italian Restaurants near Fort Mitchell

“The salad was fresh and the pizza was exactly what I was looking for.“

“The food is amazing, they have a large wine and spirt offering. The staff are always courteous, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Casual dining with an upscale feel.“

“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.“

“We travel all around the world, even compared to Italy, their home made pasta was the best we have ever eaten. We had appetizers that were awesome as well. We Highly recommend this place!“

“Love love love the food! Fresh and ?! Thanks to Debbie for always providing service with a smile!“

“Mama’s on Main has some of the best food we have enjoyed while visiting the area. It’s a must!!!“

“EDIT: Still wonderful, so I brought some pictures this time. The Johnny Trio is my favorite, and the filet mignon upgrade was beautiful.

--- Original Review

Got a Johnny Trio with marsala on everything for date night, no regrets! It was one of the best takeout steaks I have had lately.

It was so good that there was no time to take pictures! The filet upgrade never misses. I think Carrabba's is my favorite restaurant. ❤️“

“Visited Rosie’s Italian Kitchen. Cannot believe it took us so long to check it out. Our server Austin gave very good suggestions and everything was outstanding ! We had the Arancini and Fried Lasagna bites to start and then the Honey Pie! Perfect blend of sweet heat . We also split the Cannoli Cookie with a scoop of vanilla gelato . Forgot to get a photo as we dug right in. We also met the Manager Alex and Kitchen Manager Victor who were so welcoming and made us feel like family . Already planning when we can go back !“

“Tonight was our first time time dining at Carmello's. We chose the eggplant parmigiana and mushroom marsala. Well executed dishes! A shout out goes to our server Marah who was gracious and attentive. Carmello's is definitely a great culinary addition to Covington, in similar tradition to the late Opal. We will be back. Come hungry or expect to take some home with you. Thanks to Golden Gelato for their dessert contribution.“

“Just left the Norwood location and it was a great experience! The food was amazing and the service was nothing short of perfect! The staff was extremely personable and very inviting. It was the first time my girlfriend and I had been there and Ethan made sure that we were well taken care of! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it!!“

“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“

“Amazing food. Wonderful views. The ambiance and service was 10/10. 💜💜💜“

“We were treated like royalty at Subito for our wedding anniversary!!! Dena was so kind (request her if you get the chance!!), the food was delicious, the live piano music was a great touch, as was the complimentary champagne/chocolate covered strawberries and Polaroid photo to commemorate our celebration! I would absolutely recommend Subito to anyone looking for great service and an elegant vibe. I'll def be back to try their breakfast/lunch menu.“

“Food is so good! Tried the new avocado chop salad today and it's my new fave!“

“Came here for dinner with my mother after visiting some festival nearby. The restaurant itself is small, but not uncomfortably so. It wasn't too busy, and we got in rather quickly. The atmosphere was amazing, the decor was quite charming, and the layout was in such a way where you could see the chefs cooking from the front of the restaurant.

As for the food, I got tomato soup and salad, and we both got a plate of pasta as well. The tomato soup was creamy and delicious, the salad was quite refreshing, and the pasta was perfectly al dente, with exquisite sauces and such. Not to mention, the portion sizes for the pasta were huge, so we had plenty to take home as well. Finally, we ended our meal with a dessert. We got the tiramisu. Sweet, light, creamy, and delicious.

I'll say, no Italian food will ever beat the food in Italy itself, but if you can't afford the trip to Italy, this may be the next best place to go for good Italian cuisine.“

“Been a fan for years, this one by far best experience and customer service I’ve had. Bring on to nashville, I’ll invest.“

“Absolutely delightful. Superbly delicious Italian cuisine, served by a friendly and attentive staff.“

“Amazing experience at Wildweed and what an addition to the Cincinnati restaurant scene. We did the chef's table with wine pairing and they knocked it out of the park. From the service, every single person acknowledged and welcomed us to the food (so creative, delicious and locally inspired), to all the small touches of high end glassware for wines, beautiful furniture. I don't know how every single person is not raving about this spot. Can't wait to go back, as it's been the best meal in the city. With fine dining spots in the city lost like Table, Nuvo, L, this one I hope stands the test of time for a new modern type of fine dining.“

“There for a special Birthday Lunch. We were very fortunate to be seated with Shayla. I hope i spelled it right. She was very attentive, warm and welcoming. She offered a lot of knowledge of the menu, and was very informative. Great Service we we won't forget.“

“We went to Buca today and our food came out so quickly after ordering and was delicious! Our waiter, Griffin, was wonderful and answered all the questions we had with delight. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Truly an outstanding meal.
- Goat cheese and honey to start, was tasty
- braised short rib was outstanding and the potatoes that came with, tasty!
- spinach infused lasagna is worth the travel, not to heavy at all
- the wine was paired perfectly
- the Tiramasu was something, no words can describe. I've never had better.
- Hurradura Anejo tequila Old Fashioned is meant to be enjoyed, well worth it.
- Vanessa our server was knowledgeable, entertaining, and honest

One hell of a meal!

(Reservations though, I would highly recommend)“

“I love Scotti's we have been going there for over 45 years. We have never had a bad meal. The food is great and so are the are the owners.i give Scotti's a 5“

“Cincinnati Pizza Week brought us here! Fiancé has high standards for Italian food and loved the red sauce on the pizza. Food was great. Wedge was the best wedge salad I’ve ever had and HUGE! Restaurant is decorated lovely and smells like Italy. Service, however, was disappointing. Host stand is at the other end of the entrance. Unless there’s a different entrance we didn’t know about- but didn’t see any signs stating otherwise. Host didn’t greet and rather went to the table and pointed for me to come to the table rather than walking us there. Table was hardly cleaned and food on the table cloth. Not a single person came to our table to greet us for almost 15 min. Server didn’t apologize for us waiting. Server hardly came by to check after food came out or would do so when walking by, not stopping to check on us. I wanted a bowl for the wedge salad. It was huge so hard to eat on the plate but she didn’t stop long enough for me to tell her and I had to blag someone else down. Al thought it was Pizza Week, I would’ve expected it to be busy but business didn’t seem busy and had several tables to expect this kind of service. Maybe she was just having a bad day.“

“Was in town for the weekend and stumbled upon Pompilios. We were pleasantly suprised how good our meals were! The homemade Italian dressing was one of the best I’ve had.“

“The food and atmosphere were classic olive garden, but the service was outstanding. Dylan and Hannah Grace were absolutely wonderful, very attentive, and good sports with some of our table’s more tedious requests. The hosts and manager were clearly busy but handled every customer with grace and patience!!“

“Amazing food, huge portions at a reasonable price. Perfect for “pre gaming” before a show at Bogarts.“

“I have been here several times and it has always been a great experience.This place never disappoints.Wonderful food,top notch service and a great relaxing atmosphere.Amazing view of the city.“

“Enjoyed our dinner tonight. The Rainbow Vegetable Flatbread was delicious as was the Shrimp scampi and Caesar salad. We asked for bread and was told they do not have bread for table service. Don’t understand. I think bread should be available with the entrees. We will go back. Did enjoy dinner!“
