Restaurants near Villa Hills

“My new favorite shop for the area. I had the Opera Cream Latte, one of their specialties. Excellent choice. A touch of butter makes it rich but not overly sweet. Excellent music in the background and unique decor. Can't wait to return to try my typical... Plain black coffee!”

“Cheap, fast, good service, good food.I've gone here for my lunch break a couple of times, fixing a deck right down the street. Their meat toppings are baller and they give you garlic butter on the side as a default. It's a good experience if you don't want anything fancy, just a solid pizza.”

“Savannah did an amazing job for our first time enjoying twin peaks. New to the area and was able to give us great advice about the area. Thanks again for the great customer service and amazing food.”

“My new favorite meal in Cincy. Our group of 6 ordered through more than half the menu, and not a single dish was just ok - they were all excellent. The bar is a great spot to enjoy your meal.”

“Just tried Kealoha's for the first time and everything was absolutely top tier. I really can't overstate how great the food is, and the staff were all really nice. The aloha spirit is strong at Kealoha's, and I'm so glad they are here in Covington!”

“Charming old world home with Sicilian brick oven! The team was wonderful and very friendly. I travel frequently and always seek out small brick oven pizza's to try. I am excited to say that this is now my new favorite! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful and the crust is outstanding! It is an easy walk from Newport Aquarium, which means I will be going again and again. The cannoli pie is a great way to finish up the meal and will not disappoint. The owners were there and engaging and so welcoming!”

“While on spring break from Raleigh, North Carolina, my son and I made it a priority to visit Nolia Kitchen after hearing about it and Chef Jeff Harris' James Beard Semi Finalist. Located in the vibrant Over the Rhine neighborhood, known for its local restaurants and shopping, we planned our early dinner around this exciting hotspot.As we arrived at Nolia around 5pm, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The host was both kind and efficient, while our server impressed us with their sweet demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu. Though we had already perused the menu, our server still took the time to share some additional offerings. With our choices in mind, we placed our orders, which included the following:- Gulf Oysters (6) from both the East and West Coast- Cauliflower- River CatfishTo complement our meal, I indulged in the delightful Goretti Park cocktail.Each dish was served with care and precision. My son particularly enjoyed the East Coast Oysters, while the cauliflower, accompanied by raisins and honey (we asked for it on the side), left a remarkable impression. Personally, my favorite was the catfish, paired with crawfish and grits. The combination of flavors was truly exceptional.During our visit, we were fortunate enough to meet Chef Jeff himself. He graciously shared his vision for the restaurant, adding to the overall amazing experience.Thank you, Chef Jeff Harris and team, for providing us with a memorable dining experience at Nolia Kitchen, worthy of your James Beard recognition.”

“Our favorite restaurant in the area. I'd put their filet mignon up against any steak house. Atmosphere is very laid back but classy. Drinks are unique and excellent.”

“Overall pretty neat restaurant! The menu is very limited - 3-4 options per course with 3 courses in total. Would appreciate bigger selection for this place. It’s not “fancy” enough to offer that limited menuAnd the atmosphere was not the best - a bit old/dated, not in a “antique-cool” way. Very simple interiorMeatballs were flavorfulAnd their duck is really goodHow they decided to bring out a ginger beer, after we ordered a ginger ale, because it is “ginger ale was not available, and this is the closest to it” will remain a mystery to me”

“Hands down my favorite place in all of Cincinnati. Food is fantastic. Service is over the top. Baklava is a must. Espresso Martini is impeccable! I love this restaurant!”

“Where to start, whew... this place does not disappoint! If you're not looking for this place, you can definitely pass it. Made a reservation for 8 on a Thursday night, walked in and were seated right away. First thing is its very DIM in here, whew we need light, lol. But very cozy and intimate restaurant. I had the Cappellacci - short rib, shallot, thyme for my meal. Others at the table ordered the goat cheese, hazelnut honey, grilled bread - I had never tried goat cheese, but this bread is chef's kiss and patate and/or fingerling potato, salsa verde, pepperoncini - so good! To drink I had the Almafi (putting it out there to make it to the almafi coast one day). Jason the server was excellent! He went through the menu with us, answered questions and provided answers - very patient. Gratuity for large party was added, Jason advises of this when he returned with the checks. If I'm back in the cincy area, definitely will check if they have an opening, it did not disappoint - honestly!”

“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 ”

“We haven't had such a fantastic experience in a restaurant in so long, I forgot what it feels like. We were promptly seated by the hostess, and she was friendly. Our waitress was great and was very polite and attentive. I'll never get tired of having a refill for my drink set down in front of me before I have to ask. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed the decor. I was glad we were almost finished when they sat a couple at the table next to ours, because it is a little close and you're right in each other's conversation. I got the salmon bruschetta to start, and it was so good. Everything tasted so fresh, and the flavors blend beautifully. My girlfriend got the French onion soup, and that looked amazing. She said it tasted really good. We both ordered the filet mignon, and she wanted hers medium rare, and I wanted mine cooked medium. While both steaks were excellent, neither one was cooked as requested, and both were pretty rare. I'm going to let that slide, since everything else was so good. The smoked Gouda Mac and cheese is so damn good, I want the recipe. It's very creamy and delicious. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were excellent and I could eat a bowl of just that. We will definitely be back, and totally understand all the accolades now. Two thumbs up.”

“Always love mitas, and got the venison tartare this time! Great flavor and not gamey at all. Snag yourself a reservation to one of the top restaurants in the US!”

“Everything was very good. Between us we had ribeye with truffle butter and beef stroganoff. A twice baked potato was added along with drinks. The place was busy with everyone downtown for the evening and the staff handled it smoothly. Overall, a good experience and will return.”

“The food here is the best Mediterranean I’ve encountered. We typically order the family platter and it’s always great. Service and timeliness are spot on. Highly recommended!”

“Wood fired, brick oven pizza! Some of the best crust I’ve had. Cozy environment, great bar selection. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. Overall a 10/10 experience. We got margarita, bbq chicken, hot honey and pepperoni.”

“The food is amazing. Be aware you might think the size is a little light but the flavor and care, absolutely amazing. I love the flavor and depth to it. I ended up finding Ming an amazing place today that I was dumb to not have tried before, so thank you Aaron and your family. Hope I spelled that right. Also as I stated your my new favorite spot I’ll see you tomorrow on lunch.”

“Stopped on our way from Ohio to Nashville. Quaint little place. Friendly staff food was very good. Had the Burrata which was some toasted baguette pieces with mozzarella and tomato. Also had a Cobb salad and the special sandwich which was a toasted sandwich and cream of mushroom soup. Overall a very tasty stop.”

“So happy we found this place! Have been maybe 3 or 4 times and it's great each time! The ricotta toast is simply epic. Best appetizer hands down!! The spaghetti and meatballs is also delicious!!!”

“Excellent! Must try. Flounder stuffed crab with angel hair pasta and airline chicken breast with mushroom risotto. Squash soup and beet salad to start. Highly recommend.”

“Popped in before dinner for drinks on Friday night. Parked right out front of the spot and breezed in. After being warmly greeted by the host, we parked at the bar. The place is beautiful. Love the design choices and the blue notes. A big table carved into the back wall looks great for a group. The drinks take awhile for the staff to make, so prepare yourself. However the wait is definitely worth it. Loved every drink we had. The French 75 was light and crisp. The Peardon my French was tasty and not overly sweet. I'm not a huge rum person but would highly recommend the hibernation sour. The bit of salt and spice was fantastic. Can't wait to come back. I want to try their daytime coffee and food menu.”

“We ate here twice during our trip to the area. We were a group of 9 including 2 children. The kids enjoyed the food as well as all of the adults. This restaurant is fits in between a standard grill and an upscale restaurant. The restaurant was fairly busy both weekday evenings that were there, but we didn’t have to wait for the staff to put together seating for our group. Other than switching up sweet and unsweetened teas we had no issues and they were accommodating for the children’s special requests. We would eat here again if we are in the area. Prices were very reasonable. The restaurant was clean and easy to access.Parking: Parking in front as part of strip shopping areaKid-friendliness: Accommodating for kids and their requests”

“Had a drink there a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. I went back last Tuesday for the prime strip dinner for two. It was the best steak I've had in a long time at a restaurant. Perfectly prepared and accompanied with the best sides of charred broccoli and potato strips, this was a a great meal. Delish!!”

“I absolutely recommend their affogato, it's gelato drowning in expresso. They rotate their flavors weekly, which you can check on their website. They also have dairy free options.Their gelato flavors are outstanding. They have bold flavors and fun flavor combinations.You can also get pints!”

“Had a great experience on a night of really bad storms no less. Meaty wings and cold beer. Billy and staff know how to take care of folks and make them feel special, a lost art in today’s world. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Wow! Got to celebrate my wife's birthday in style with an awesome dinner at Jeff Ruby's in downtown Cincinnati. Our first time there and the experience was great!From Chip Mullen out of the Columbus location getting it started for us, to Cameron assisting our server, to Jordan giving us some of the best service we have ever had, and to the manager Jared being sincerely friendly. Amazing experience and the food was immaculate! One of the best steaks we have ever tasted and the dessert was off the charts too. We can't wait to go back!!”
