“Have been there on several occasions, but tonight was first time seated at counter. Absolutely WONDERFUL experience overall. Sitting by brick oven and watching the kitchen function on all cylinders was wonderful. Had one of the best waitresses ever ( cannot pronounce her name correctly), but her recommendations were SPOT ON. I didn’t order from the menu but asked her to give me her favorite pasta and it was sooooo good. Wife and I saw something come out of brick oven a couple times and its aroma was unrivaled. It was the eggplant and she got it and said it was some of the best she ever had. Spoke with new mgr Tony and informed him we had recently been to Soto and would return to Forno ten times over before going back to Soto. Have been here three or four times now and menu is fantastic (have had something different each time). After sitting in front of brick oven, my wife and I now know where we will go for some takeout pizza!!! If I could give more stars I would“

“We had heard about this restaurant from a friend so we decided to try it for lunch. It's right on Wyoming Avenue at the border of Wyoming and Lockland. The lunch and dinner menus are the same but they have a variety of daily specials. We kept it simple for lunch: a hamburger with fries and a veggie burger with Saratoga chips. The burger was big and tasty but the veggie patty didn't have much taste and the texture was too soft. It's not something I would order again. A soft drink and a beer (the place is also a brew pub) ran up a bill of $40. It's primarily an Italian place but there are several non-Italian choices from Fish & Chips to Rueben sandwiches. It has a nice, cozy ambiance and service was prompt and courteous. It could easily become my local hangout except it's just a little too far from my home. That being said I do plan to revisit and try some of their Italian fare. Free parking on the street or in their lot. Full bar.“

“Was a guest for dinner (22 people) everything was so well done and thoughtful It was such a surprise and a treat“

“Olive Garden is always great to us! The waiter/waitress staff has always been good to us. We're a family of 5 and each time we come, we always have a great time, great food and great service. On Saturday, the boy that was our waiter did an extremely great job! I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you all for everything!“

“Excellent! New to Cincinnati area, thus far the best experience! Italian fare at its finest and exceptional service!“

“I absolutely love everything on the menu! My favorite is the Meat Lasagna. I also enjoy the 'Old World Italy' feel and the friendliness of the staff.“

“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.“

“We attended for my father's birthday. Staff was extremely kind and patient allowing my parent the time they needed to sit. Our food was excellent and service matched. When leaving staff even held the doors for my father and step mother. They are a bit slower in their old age and your staff went above and beyond with their patience and understanding. Thanks for making this a very pleasant experience.“
