Italian Restaurants near Sharonville

“This restaurant is an absolute gem, skillfully blending the flavors of Argentinian and Italian cuisine to create a culinary experience like no other. The attention to detail is evident in every dish, making each plate a delicate, artful experience with a beautiful balance of flavors. The staff is both knowledgeable and attentive, offering thoughtful insights and recommendations that truly enhance the dining journey. So far, I've sampled four dishes, and each one has been exceptional—so much so that I’m still undecided about which one I’d call my favorite!
The only note to keep in mind is the space itself; it's cozy but can get a bit loud during peak hours. However, the vibrant atmosphere and incredible food make it well worth the visit!“

“We ate at Caruso’s for the first time July 3, 2024. My wife and I thought our meals were 5 star, delicious! She had the Chicken Marsala and I had the Rigatoni Rustica. 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.“

“It was our first time there and they had amazing food, great staff!!! We will definitely come back Again and would highly recommend them!!!“

“Outstanding pasta and pizza and the bakery breads are even better. It’s the best bread I’ve ever had anywhere? Game changer bread! You gotta try it…“

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

“Ashley helped us with a gift card fiasco(Something called Feeding America). It was Mother's Day and very crowded. She spent time with us even though she was needed elsewhere. SO IMPRESSED! We definitely will be back. BTW food was excellent!“

“Bagio's is a classic long time gaslight Clifton Italian restaurant located in the Ludlow business district straight across from the Clifton market. The owner/chef works there everyday. You may be able to park on the street, but it's easy to park in the merchants lot located on Howell avenue behind Clifton market and then cut up between the buildings. They are open for lunch and dinner. The chef Cooks the meals on open burners in front of the restaurant and it's fun to sit and watch him cook. He has classic pasta dishes and some really delicious tomato basil soup and wedding soup. He is very accommodating if you would like to order something special. My wife had all vegetables with no pasta and some grilled fish on the side. She loved it. Last night, I had the special which was beef tenderloin with pasta on the side. It went down great with a glass of their house red wine. The desserts are absolutely incredible. I love the chocolate eclair Puffs. Last night I had the banana cream pie which was outstanding. This is a great little romantic Italian restaurant with a European flair located in the heart of Clifton. You can go there with your honey or take the family or group of friends. It's moderately priced and a great little authentic Italian restaurant.“

“Great food, great atmosphere loved our dinner there“

“First, long time drivebyer, first time diners. This is multi fold. 1) I recommend Padrino 100%. A surprise destination for Monday as “marinara night”. 2) Grace is one of the nicest, personable, and best servers I can say I’ve had in recent memory. After telling her that we had never been and how we typically order food when we go out, she walked us through every page of the menu and asked pertinent questions like “hey do you guys want apps tonight?” After we talked we thought maybe we should try a pasta, hoagie, and a pizza. She provided suggestions for each of those sections and we took her up from her list. I saw an employee of the _____, not sure if it was month, day, week, or what, or if she’s had it before, but she definitely deserves it! Which brings us to… 3) FOOD! Not only that, but PRICE!!! I will preface this as if nobody picked up on our “try some of a lot of things” and then have leftovers for the next day approach which has been illustrated above, but I’d say what we got was SUBSTANTIAL for what we spent. Heck, screw the dollars, let’s talk about flavor! Pasta: Vodka Tortellini, and she recommended we each get a garlic knot to finish off the sauce. I can’t give a fair shake to the knots because I just couldn’t eat anymore, but boy did they look and smell delicious. But the pasta? Shoo Sammie: Padrino Club. Sure it sounded and probably gets viewed as basic, which it was way more than basic thanks to their garlic aioli to top it off. And go with Grace, swap for the Parmesan fries! I’m not usually one for fries anymore but golly…. Parm fries for the win (I’ll say they’re at fault for me not making it to a knot) And finally Pizza: again our quests of trying a lot we were told we could split a large between specialities and we did. The choices: Chef’s Forte and Drunken Goat. I can safely say I’d expect any of their pizzas to be delicious based off trying these two. The veggies part on the Forte were SO big and noticeable and delicious and cooked to perfection. Will we be back? 100%“

“Norwood Piada is one of the best locations in Cincinnati!“

“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.“

“Stopped by to enjoy the patio with our dog at lunch time on a Saturday. The food was fabulous- nothing fussy, simple great Italian dishes with a reasonable price. We had the fig and prosciutto pizza, gnocchi with crema parmigiana, and the sweat pea tortellini. Everything was perfect.
We also enjoyed that their patio is pet friendly.“

“I have no idea why it took me so long to give Forno Osteria & Bar a try. I guess I don't get down to East Hyde Park very often, even though it's only barely over a mile from home. It will definitely not be long before a return visit. Be sure to book an online reservation before going. We did and were treated to an outdoor table of our choice.

To start my wife and I split the arugula salad with golden raisins, capers, shaved cauliflower, pistachios, citronette dressing, and parmigiano reggiano ($13). The serving was very generous and the salad was full of flavor. I loved the crunch of the pistachios and cauliflower.

I ordered the basil and ricotta tortelloni served with pomodoro sauce, parigiano reggiano, and basil oil ($25). The freshly made pasta is stuffed full and cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich to complement the subtle flavor of ricotta.

My wife ordered the asparagus gnudi "Cacio e Pepe" ($21). Gnudi is similar to gnocchi, but the dumplings are made of ricotta cheese and semolina instead of potato flour. These were very light and served in a Vermont butter sauce with asparagus. It was a very flavorful dish, despite the simple presentation. I think I enjoyed the tortelloni better, but both are worthy of ordering again on a future visit.“

“Enjoyed the great food! My husband had a Filet, I had a Vegetarian Pasta, shared a fabulous Ceaser Salad, and Bruschetta. Ronnie was our server/bartender, and was attentive and friendly.
Plenty of bar seating.

Vegetarian options: Multiple vegitarian options“

“This place is AMAZING!! I went there for a birthday dinner with family and friends and the food and service was fantastic. All my needs were met and I felt so welcome! Hospitality and costumer service 100/10. Will be coming back for more!!!!“

“Got the Meat Supreme, Family-Sized 14X18 pie for take-out.
it was around 8:10 when I ordered & they close @ 9.

They delivered it a bit EARLY, & the pizza was GREAT, but they might have rushed it in the oven, on a "Scicilian" rectangle tray & the dough wasn't cooked thru, so when you held a slice it just dripped & fell apart, all over you.
LOL
It was a quick fix, by adding a little more time in my toaster oven.

I USED to make pizza back in N.Y. & those with LOTS of toppings,
sometimes you need to remove the pie FROM the tray & give it a few more minutes "bare-back" on the oven surface.

NEXT time I'll ask them to go Med-Well & finish it that way.

For $26 + $5 delivery =$5 tip (= $36 total ), it fed my son & I 2x meals each, + 2 MORE dinners for me solo.“

“Gabbys and their owners recently held a dinner benefit for one of their former employees and chef with 30+ years experience. The hospitality by the team, the welcome we received and the support from their employees was excellent. In a world where community means alot, consider supporting small businesses who support others. I'll definitely make the drive to visit here during normal operation.“

“The service and the atmosphere were so bad I took the manager's card with me and sent them a huge email explaining the situation as well as sending them pictures. And I never heard back from them so it is the last time that I will go to that Olive garden“

“great food. my grandson loved it“

“We recently attended a private "pop up" dinner here. The home made pasta dishes were absolutely delicious and the best pasta that I have experienced outside of Italy. All meal courses were wonderful and unique. The chef has a true gift. The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return!“

“Hubby & I just had lunch here a bit ago. We've never eaten here before. We shared a steak hoagie with onions, mushrooms, pickles and cheese. We got the parmesan bites and an order of fries. Absolutely delicious food! We had water to drink so our bill was only $21. Delicious food at a reasonable price! I highly recommend Richards“

“I only have 3 words.... Couldn't be more pleased!

This place is THE best Italian joint in Cincinnati!. If you're in Cincinnati and don't come to this restaurant you're a fool.

The cheese cake is worth every cent!“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant! The food is always amazing and I’ve never met a rude waiter/ waitress there! Today our waitress was Becca. She was very polite and friendly! The atmosphere the restaurant provides is so welcoming. Big thank you to Candice and the rest of the Bravo staff members for their amazing hospitality and kindness!“

“Absolutely recommend this place to everyone! The food is delicious, the service is impeccable, the ambiance is wonderful. I brought my in-law's here who live out of town and they were blown away. It was immediately put on their list of places to come back to when they come back to visit Cincy.“

“10/10 experience. I haven’t been to Olive Garden in YEARS. The food was warm and tasty. The drinks are fairly priced. Great wine selection. The tiramisu was phenomenal. Despite all the bad reviews about this place, I really enjoyed myself here and had a great time. Will definitely come back.“

“Phenomenal would be an understatement to describe this establishment. 10 out of 5.“

“Had a great 80th celebration for my Dad at this location tonight and I will have to say the customer service and food were hands-down. Amazing. Thank you, Jordan for your help with pictures and videos for the special occasion. We will see you all soon and keep up the great work.!“

“You haven't had a calzone until you've eaten one here! TRUST ME! .. #MeatLoversUnite I just wolfed one down and I just ordered another.. Not joking NOM to the MAX.“

“First time. Got the classic with meat sauce. absolutely loved it!!“

“Amazing food, huge portions at a reasonable price. Perfect for “pre gaming” before a show at Bogarts.“

“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.“

“Really great local shop serving hot, fresh food. The owner is super nice and the staff is very friendly! I love the roast beef the most“

“Any time I go to Italianette in Cincinnati I am never disappointed. The food and service here is so good and the dine in service and take out service never disappoints and is always a 10/10 experience. This is a must have place to try and I guarantee you wont regret going!!!“

“Wonderful experience. Food was delicious. Had a large group (18). Waiter Travis did a wonderful job. Impressed that he did not write any of the order down and we were served perfectly. First time diner, will dine here again.“

“Also good experience going to Bravo’s“

“My husband and I were on a "pizza odyssey when we discovered this family-owned business Saturday night. Our salads and the 2 pizzas we ordered were both fresh and delicious. Thank you, Diane for taking care of us. We'll be back!“

“This has to be the best penstation location by far thanks to the night shift manger Royce!! He’s Great welcoming ,friendly, clean atmosphere ,takes pride in his job! Now days when u spend your hard money that’s exactly what u need! Luv Ann“

“We live just outside the delivery area for Jet's Pizza, so need to pickup my order. The store is basic, but then that's all it needs to be. Orders are ready at the time quoted.

Jet's Pizza is phenomenal. The deep crust is light and airy and the ingredients are top class IMO. They make a tasty pizza!

We have Jet's about once a month for years now and it's always been great and hot. Our orders have always been right and ready on time with friendly, if busy, staff ready to check you out and grab your order for you.“

“Food was hot and fresh, the service was great! Everything was really nice.

Parking: They have handicapped accessible parking and plenty of parking spots.

Kid-friendliness: They have highchairs for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on ground level n a ramp to go in. The door is also wide enough for wheelchairs.“

“Been going here for years. Knew the old owners he passed away a few years ago and we talked last year when she was going to sell. Our biggest concern is they would do away with the old ovens. She assured us that she had that discussion with the new owners and they were going to keep the old ovens. Well that didn't happen. We stopped there the other night and the pizza is still decent but not like it used to be. They cut back on the ingredients and unlike the old ovens there is no salt on the deck when they cook it. I am 66 years old and been eating cassano's pizza for 55 of those years. Sad to see the change.“
