Just about everything on the menu is delicious. 🤷🏻♀️ Notably love the hazelnut & goat cheese bruschetta, octopus, and all pasta options 😅
Grilled octopus is *chef kiss* Great service, cute space, knowledgeable staff.
Food, service and ambiance. Best Italian restaurant in Cincinnati.
New in town and so far the best restaurant I've been. Excellent attention, cocktails and wine options, and everything we ate was amazing: gnocchi with octopus, red fish and the chocolate dessert.
Amazing seasonal menu, a good mix of experimental foods, and modern takes on classics. This place never disappoints!!!
Great rotating seasonal menu
Definitely try the calamari it goes great with beer and its not breaded heavily.
Calamari as an app.
Crab cakes outstanding. 32 otr ale best brew around
The octopus salad is out of this world, also the tortellini, short ribs and the AMAZING truffle cream corn, drooling just thinking about it!
Excellent restaurant for lunch/dinner! The pizza Napoli had the perfect blend of anchovy and caper...fresh and delicious! Perfect for famiglia and amici!!
Bolognese Special on Tuesday can’t be beat
Octopus is yummy and so it's their take on the Moscow mule
Happy hour on the patio was absolutely killer! Definitely going back!
The scallops appetizer, gnocchi entree, and panna cotta dessert were delicious!
Bouillabaisse was absolutely excellent and universally the favorite of all at the table. However, it's also hard to beat the grilled octopus, so get that too!
New favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. Had the mushroom and goat cheese crostini special. Fantastic!
Get the bouillabaisse. Lots of different flavors, yet consistent through the base. The flight of wine is also a sweet deal.
Get the Saratoga chips and calamari. Read more.
Must visit when it's all you can eat ribs and saratoga chips!
Service was pretty bad here..:(
Kung Pao calamari and truffle fries. To. Die. For. First 3 pages of the menu is beer!
The Lamb Burger is excellent... try with a wheat bun. Also the Kung Pao Calamari is FIRE!
Vegetarian wings are delicious! The edamames are great as well, love this place!
I love their eggplant.
Best Crab Rangoon I've ever had.
Get the Chef's Tasting Menu. You won't be disappointed! The chanterelle mushroom strudel was fantastic, as was the dessert. Amazing experience!
Rated Cincinnati's #1 restaurant! Terrific menu and fabulous wine list.
Still the standard by which fine dining in Cincinnati is judged.
It'a all great. Nicola's might be the fanciest place in OTR. Reservation highly recommended.
Go for the Monday Night Neighborhood Special -- $13 for pasta bolognese, house salad, phenomenal bread -- if you eat at the bar.
Try the Grand Tasting Menu Dessert - Smoked ocean trout, fennel 3-ways, egg, capersDelicious!
The food is fabulous. Fresh, as of caught a moment ago seafood, generous sides, and friendly staff truly make up for the fact that it is so crowded you can barely move. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Eat there on 3/2/2012, they have great fries, the fish sandwich was good and the fish tacos were great. I recommend this place
My favorite seafood ever! The burgers are also really good. Seafood compares to the gulf's finest. Always fresh and lots of choices for a reasonable price. We are regulars :)
If you like Strongbow, try their Crispin, its a similar but smoother cider served with a bit of ice. the flash fried calamari is also AMAZING!
Great music, and the way it's laid out is very nice an intimate. The staff is also very tentative and fun to be around.
Try a Strongbow and fried pickels
The #2 Chicken Dynasty combo is delicious. Spice level 8!
The spice scale they give you is 1-10, but you can request to go hotter. Tried an 11 tonight. Next time I'll go to 12!
Fairly decent food, would like to have had a bit more spice but all in all fairly decent and not a wallet emptier
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
