Stephanie Magrisso: The carbonara was to salty and greasy....every other item was an orgasm in your mouth!!!!! Can't go wrong! (Except for the carbonara)
thadd f.: Incredible food. Honey&goat cheese bruschetta was outstanding. Our favorite dishes were the gnocchi & short rib cappellacci. And DONUTS!
Nick Altieri: Hidden under the old Maisonette is the best Italian in the city. Food was great and the interior of the restaurant looks like it's from an old Italian villa.

Melvyn Heard: Bruschetta is fantastic, calamari is a little fishy and spicy. Highly recommend the wedding soup. The Prime Rib is like a shredded beef enchilada, very good. see photo
Carla Essen: Hands down the best bread pudding in the city. Better yet, favorite dessert in all of Cincinnati. The sauce is to die for!!
Dianne Sod: The bread pudding dessert is to die for...bonus if they are serving the chocolate chip version!
