This is a true Cincinnati landmark. The food is always delicious, the quaint ambience is a delight and the service is top notch.I have been coming here for over 40 years and while the family descendants now run the restaurant it has the same charm that it did when "Mama" would scold you for not eating all your food.The mostaccioli ala tuscanini and the cataloni lombardi are my two favorite main courses. They are delicious. Tiramisu for dinner capped off a delightful experience.
Yup, once you are inside you can tell that this place is more than a 100 years old. It looks a bit messy and can actually be messy in some aspects. However, I went here for the authentic experience and I got it. The Fettuccine Alfredo is the best I have had so far, it's a thick and creamy delight. The soup of the day was Minestrone and it was good too. They were out of Tiramisu, so I tried the Cannoli and I didn't like it. It's a little pricey but worth the experience.
Spectacular! The ambiance was wonderful. Feels like the coolest Italian Restaurant from the 1950s. Tiled walks, great atmosphere. Food was delicious. Fresh, flavorful interesting... Great service from a family owned business. We'll absolutely be back! Definitely worth a visit!
My husband and I ate here last Tuesday and it was phenomenal. He wasn’t hungry and decided to save his lasagna for later. I ate my cannelloni at the restaurant and it was delicious. Later, I took half of his lasagna to work for dinner and then I ate the rest when I got home. It was so tasty! Great ambiance and service! Pic is of the cannelloni
Authentic Italian cuisine for over 110 years! Old school awesome atmosphere. Must try.
Went for our 35th wedding anniversary. Will definitely be regulars. Everything from the antipasti to dessert was good. You can smell the garlic bread when it leaves the kitchen. The menu is huge with a lot of veal dishes. The stuffed veal loin that I had was incredible and spinach pasta carbanero that my wife had was one of the best pasta dinners she has ever had.Hats off to Marco and Rina ( not sure of spelling) for providing us with personable service and making us feel at home.
I don't know where to start, it is the most discusting place I was ever been in my life. Nothing in this place is even healthy. The smell of the restaurant was not appealing. The soup was overly salty, do not recommend. The salad is old and served in dirty plates and the pasta is swimming in pond of oil. Even the bread which supposed to be fresh and served with olive oil, they fry it in horrible tasting oil and that hurt my throat. I wish I can give them less than one star. I refused to eat and left.
Truly authentic Italian! Love that place!I highly recommend it!
The best Italian restaurant ever. Family owned for over 50 yrs. I've never had a bad meal. Everything is amazing. Family recipes past down. From the wine, food, and down to the coffee is awesome.
This was one of the most pleasurable dining experiences that I have had in years! The food, the service and the ambiance all added up to a perfect meal. Our group all had different entrees that we shared and I can say that from the Veal Parma to the Alfredo, from the speggiti to the sausages and right down to the garlic bread it all was delicious! I plan on working my way through their entire menu! As Always, Enjoy!
