I live in New York, but come here every time I'm in town . The chicken liver bruschetta is delicious. Can't go wrong with any of the pastas . Order a liter of the house red , you won't regret it!

marc dotson

Amazing house made pasta ... And the branzino is about the best I have ever had. Grab a seat at the kitchen bar for a great show!

Anna Hider

Ask which pastas were made in house, and get the ricotta donuts for dessert

Ricardo Nebel

Best Italian restaurant in Cincinnati with ambiance and service. Amazing food, starting with the Caesar salad , a delicious cappellacci, and to cap it all off a wonderful 3 sauce doughnut dessert

Annie Tolochinski

Favorite dinner spot! I was visiting from NYC and tried packing as much as possible in a weekend, this was a highlight. Do not skip the amazing warm bread from Blue Oven Bakery - the Bad Boy.

Jen R

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Probably a top ten meal of all time. Absolutely everything we had was truly excellent - all made with the highest quality ingredients and care.

Estella Christen

Everyone should try their Italian dishes that are so delicious and having an authentic Italian taste. I really like the Black Kale Chicken Caesar and Chocolate Budino. Local people around. Good staff .

Audrey Chou

Just about everything on the menu is delicious. ????????‍♀️ Notably love the hazelnut & goat cheese bruschetta , octopus , and all pasta options ????

Shawn Clark

Can't say enough good things about this place. Everything on the menu is exceptional. but my personal goto meal is... black kale caesar , cappellacci, and breaded pork loin . amazing!!

Jerry Dice

Great place for a romantic dinner...a beautiful brick space in the cellar of a downtown Cincy building. Wonderful salumi and pasta .

Dan Hebert

Really unique atmosphere under 6th Street. The fresh pasta here is delicious. Definitely try the beignets for dessert !

Elizabeth Yannone

The chicken was perfection! The doughnuts were over rated- I found them to be very dense but glad I tried them anyway. oh and great wine menu with reasonably priced bottles!

AmateurConcierge

Home made pasta in a cavernous, underground yet somehow welcoming Italian joint. Love the delicious gratis donut that comes with lunch

Preeti Gharpure

The penne vodka and goat cheese and honey bruschetta is a must! Beautiful new spot in cinci !

Such an amazing place. Get their homemade pasta dish Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe , brandzino was delicious, their goat cheese and hazelnut bruschetta and the doughnuts are a MUST.

The food here is excellent. Did family size: top 2 on primi, last one and pennette vodka . All awesome. Doughnuts and vanilla for dessert ! Yummmmmy! Highly recommend

Cozy underground atmosphere, fresh housemade pastas , very affordable for the quality. Short Rib Cappellacci is most excellent, as is the chicken liver pate .

Kelsey Anderson

The ambiance here is AMAZING. Loved the donuts for dessert , favorite sauce is the pistachio . Highly recommended.

Kelly Weaver

Goat Cheese Bruschetta was a hit as were all the pasta dishes that we ordered (3 in total). Wine selections were great but would not order the Bufala Mozzerella again not a fan of sun dried tomatoes .

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 .

Gabriela Garcia

The doughnuts !!!! For sure the best part of the evening!!!

Ryan Vaughan

Don't go short on the pasta . Order a few and share! Portions are big and they are all amazing.

The ambience is the best in town . Chocolate terrine is incredible.Probably best dessert in Cincy .Perfect combo of flavors immediately w/ smoothness of olive oil , choco & finish with crunchy pistachio .

Do the Pat Double Dip ! Dip your doughnut in salted caramel first, then the pistachio sauce. Bam! Mind blown.
