“Everything we ate during our visit was absolutely delicious. We started with the bruschetta, which had such fresh, vibrant tomatoes on perfectly toasted bread. It was the perfect opening to our meal.

The portions were generous and tasted truly authentic. I particularly enjoyed the pasta with the rich, savory sauce filled with peas and mushrooms. It was comfort food at its finest. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.“

We are looking forward to returning for the dining room because the food being served from the menu looked amazing. We will certainly return for the chef's counter because it is a not-to-be missed experience that can be enjoyed again and again. Thank you Wildweed for a fantastic evening!!!“

“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.“

“Food, atmosphere, and especially our waiter (7/13 evening) were superb. Waiter was very attentive without hovering and took the extra step of inquiring if we were on a specific timeline (attending any events after) so that he could coordinate to get us out on time. We weren't, but what a nice touch. The food was unique and very good. Loved the stuffed squash blossoms and the duck I ordered. Bananas Foster Gelato was the perfect not-too-heavy dessert. Will definitely be going here more often.“

“Food is so good! Tried the new avocado chop salad today and it's my new fave!“

Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“Been a fan for years, this one by far best experience and customer service I’ve had. Bring on to nashville, I’ll invest.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
