“Y’all, Francesca is the best. These are the best croissants I have had in Cincy, and some of the best coffee. I came in to pick up a birthday cake and Francesca spoke with me in Italian and was so, so kind and generous. Definitely go see this place.“

“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.“

“Some of the best sammiches in the Cincinnati area!“

“Quite possibly the best meal we’ve ever had!“

“The server Shay was new..her 1st day. We thought she was the trainer..She was extremely knowledgeable for her 1st day. Shawn..her trainer said she wouldn't need all 4 days of following him..we agreed...pleasent atmosphere and the bathroom was clean“

“Fantastic in every way. Chef staff food atmosphere. The chef is very talented young woman . What is created in her kitchen is pure magic produced by talent creativity and hard work.“

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

“I’ve been coming to Pasquale’s/Fessies since I was a child. All the staff are amazing but I have to give a special shout out to Connie, she is the best! She always has a smile on her face, and she’s always treated us like family. You’re a star, Connie!“

“kinda expensive but yummy nonetheless. staff were informed about a deadly allergy and LOCKED in. we were assured multiple times that the menu items were safe. friendly tip though don't get the angel hair with the meat sauce, the rigatoni pairs much better in my opinion. the staff are super sweet also!!!

edit: only issue is that i was given a basic to-go box for my gnocchi and it leaked in the bag :(“

“Today’s visit was terrible. Pizza had huge bubbles that were charcoaled and bottom wasn’t baked. Service was not good either. A small place that somehow accommodated a party of 10, 8 of which were loud teens. We were moved to accommodate these guests and they didn’t behave like someone their age should. Ruined a Sunday evening meal.“

“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.“
