We asked our waiter Sam for his recommendations and we’re so glad we took his advice. Best Italian dishes we’ve ever enjoyed. We can’t wait to return with good friends. Excellent! Denny & Barb G.“

“As I’m writing this review I’m still in shock! I’m in Cincinnati on business and I was craving Italian. I can’t believe there’s not a line around the block just for the meatballs!

“The chefs behind the pizza bar (Aaron and Jake) were so charming and fun! They made my birthday an absolute blast. Our server was the sweetest. I'm sad to know it's Aaron's last day with the crew - because he made me the best pizza ever :)
All of the food was incredible. Atmosphere is cozy and the open kitchen concept is so neat. Every member of the staff was hard working and kind. Absolutely loved visiting this place!
Highly recommend sitting at the bar area and will visit again.“

“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.“

“I have been here several times and it has always been a great experience.This place never disappoints.Wonderful food,top notch service and a great relaxing atmosphere.Amazing view of the city.“

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