Desserts
Individual Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
Vanilla doesn't have to mean ordinary. On a graham crust we add our smooth velvety cheesecake flavored with vanilla bean, then top it in a pillowy cap of vanilla bean mousse.
Carrot Cake
Lightly spiced carrot cake finished with a cream cheese frosting.
Individual Chocolate Pâté
A chocolate crust starts this one off, then we add the most scrumptious chocolate mousse you'll ever taste, creamy and rich and oh so chocolaty. As if that weren't enough, we add another layer of dark chocolate on top and accentuate it all with milk chocolate.

I remember Izzy's from decades ago when I worked in the downtown Cincinnati business area. Tomorrow at five I had an opportunity to order Izzy's carry out tonight. Was for a friend's birthday and she chose Izzy's. I think this restaurant is overpriced. The sandwiches are small and it's just not worth the money.
October 2025
I haven't been to Izzy's in years. I have always loved their reuben. I stopped and got the reubenator for lunch, and I was kind of disappointed. The corned beef was pretty chewy and rubbery, not as good as I remember. The potato pancake was amazing though.
October 2024
We are from NC and came in to try the food. Great food and staff personality was great. Our waitress Stephanie was awesome. Place was packed and she was doing it all by herself. Stephanie you rock
