“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 ❤️“

“I don’t understand the hype. The food is authentic Italian but heavy on the seafood. Extremely expensive for the portions. Atmosphere was cool and chic but not my style. Definitely not a family place. Absolutely a true foodie place for someone who wants to try outside of the box Italian food.“

“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.“

“If i could give it 100 stars I would. My mom and I came for restaurant week. It was my first time here, and I was very impressed! The view is amazing, the service was very nice from the guys parking our car at vallet to our waitress. The food was definitely the best part. It was the best Caesar salad I've ever eaten, the sea bass was melt in your mouth amazing and the dessert was great too! I will definitely be back“

“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.“

“We got the lasagna bites and potatoes to share, and we cleaned the plate clear. The rigatoni vodka was heavenly, and I had enough to take some home. The baked ziti was huggge, and could be added to the secondis in my opinion. The potatoes were definitely the top choice for all of us. I love this place! The staff is amazing, each table has an adjustable light, and it's always such a wonderful experience. We always make a reservation just to be safe!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice addition to the fountain square area. Cool looking space and nice menu. Food was good, service was spotty and could use more help. Waiters were in the weeds. The cocktails were small for the price. Wine menu was ok. I'll try it again.“

“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.“
“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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!"“

“Like the other location this Forno delivers every single time. The food is predictably delicious and the menue is fresh and bright. Let's talk about the tripe... the tomato sauce with it is the star and should be bottled for sale immediately. The gnochi is great. The artichoke soup is splendid. The pasta are all fantastic.“

“Been to many family owned Italian places in New York City over the years. This is the first time I’ve found really good authentic Italian outside New York City honestly. I would absolutely go back again. The Puttanesca with veal was wonderful.“

“Chicken Marsala was hot, tasty, full of flavor. Sliced bread and garlic butter was delicious. Meatball casserole was great. Red sauce is really flavorful with a touch of sweet. Pomp.salad out did itself and could be a meal on its own. Manhattan was good, mixed well. Good selection of wines.Parking: Lot is small, but street parking is close. At capacity, it would be difficult to park in the lot.“

“I've been wanting to go to Olive Garden for a while, but I didn't want to go by myself. Luckily, my prego BFF craved it, and we went together... The service and food were great, fresh and fast. Management even came to check and introduce herself. Their alcoholic beverages are so tasty. Clip below - salad and shrimp fritto misto, both were delish“

“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.“

“Scotti's is always a 5 star. My family has been going there as long as I can remember. The food is outstanding. I recently had the Cannelloni Speciale with a little diavolo added to it and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Truly remarkable establishment and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. The only thing I'm upset about is that I don't eat here more often. Do yourself a solid and have dinner here.Vegetarian options: My wife is a diehard vegetarian and she also loves it here“

“I got one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and the best part was they have really good vegan cheese. I got the Old Schooler with vegan mozzarella and it was awesome. I didn't think black pepper sounded like a good idea for a pizza, but it's genius! It's been challenging finding a place with good vegan cheese. Normally I just get pizza without cheese, so thank you for offering such a delicious vegan option! Also, it was ready exactly when they said it would be.Vegetarian options: It's easy to substitute meat and dairy for vegan or vegetarian ingredients.“

“Fantastic! Excellent food and hospitality in an incredibly gorgeous setting. I dined solo at the bar and Cory was a wonderful guide through my meal. His recommendations were on point, as were the martini and old fashioned he made for me. I started with the arancini and at first I was concerned it was overcooked as it was so crunchy on the outside, but the texture of the outside of the arancini combined with the softness of the inside and the sauce made each bite spectacular. I followed up with orecchiette with fennel sausage and loved it, especially the perpetual crunch that kept each bite intriguing. I then had the salmon with couscous and it was perfectly cooked with the textures of the couscous and the salmon skin playing together to give the dish depth beyond just the great flavor. The chef's expert skill of combining textures to give complexity and dimension is on display in each dish. I followed with the tiramisu and it was taaaaaasty. Great espresso too.Overall, a lovely experience. Whitney, the manager, was a great host and made me feel at home sitting at the bar. I'll be back.“

“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.“
