a month agoI absolutely love this place! The service was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Most importantly, the food offered such a unique taste of Italy, and everything was absolutely delicious. I’m honestly not a big fan of Italian food, but this restaurant completely changed my mind and made me want to come back again. Highly recommend!

Every meal I’ve had has been amazing, and I recommend it to everyone looking for authentic Italian food. A true Cincinnati gem! Can’t wait till my next visit!

3 months agoWe just got married and we went here for a celebratory lunch after our hectic weekend. It was FANTASTIC. Curt was our server and he was nothing short of attentive and personable. We even got to chat about our similar interests in music! Thank you SO much Curt! The food was incredible. I got the short rib pasta and my husband got the breaded pork loin. Both were delectable! The goat cheese appetizer was the perfect starter and we received a free refill of bread to go with the main course. We felt so appreciated. Not to mention they made us a reservation for our 1st anniversary next year. We will definitely be back before then!

5 months agoI have been so intimidated by this place but outside of my wallet crying, this was such a gem. I would be here weekly if I could, I can only describe it as fancy chill. Our drinks were: 🥃Italian Stallion (an absolutely beautiful drink with great fire and flavor and idk I loved the etched ice cube lol fav of the night but def packs a punch) 🍹White Russian because my husband drinks sweet drinks LOL 🍸Espresso martini tastiest I have ever had 🍷Birbet dessert wine, a little fizz and mildly sweet We ate: 🍞 fettunta - grilled bread rubbed w/ garlic 🥩tartare di fassone - parmigiano, lemon aioli, breadcrumbs (for the adventurous eater because it is raw beef, I was thrilled, it was tasty not gamey at all and the breadcrumbs give it extra texture) 🥬asparagus - ricotta salata, black pepper, pine nuts 🐗 pappardelle al cinghiale - wild boar, tomato, parmigiano (husband is raving about this dish!) 🍝 cacio e pepe - tonnarelli, black pepper, pecorino (I was hesitant to not have a protein in my pasta but I was insanely impressed how this dish didn’t need it!) 🍮chocolate panna cotta, it was a special and I don’t remember everything that was on it but it tasted SOOOOO much better than it looks. The chocolate was rich without being bitter. 🍩 ricotta doughnuts with 3 sauces, salted caramel, pistachio and chocolate. I loved all 3 sauces but my husband and the bartenders raved about the salted caramel literally EVERYTHING was phenomenal. We left zero crumbs. Staff was great. Vibes were great. Place was absolutely buzzing and it makes you feel like you’ve left Cincinnati. The timing of the food was awesome for a date night and even though it was packed with tables constantly being filled, you never felt rushed. Highly recommend for a splurge night!
