    As always, the food was exceptional. My wife had the veal short rib ravioli, and I had the short rib and gnocchi. We split the strawberry & goat cheese salad, and had no room for dessert! The wait staff are all top shelf and collaborate to ensure no need is left unmet. The only issue is that we were seated along the wall on the couch/bench seats. These are not the most comfortable. I will ask for a table and chairs the next time we go ...and there will be a next time.

    We were able to sit outside on a gorgeous evening which added to the ambiance Our server , Peyton, was very attentive without hovering. The service went above and beyond!! Between 3 people we had a salad, 2 entrees, and a pick 2 pasta dishes. Everything was delicious. We concluded with goat cheese cheesecake which sounded very odd but was wonderful. I hadn’t been here for a few years but will definitely return soon

    The food, the service, the wine, the ambiance ….spectacular! This place knows how to maintain a consistent high end experience every time!! I was here tonight AND I was as here a week ago to celebrate birthdays. Food…all incredible…the duck entree, halibut special, short ribs and gnocchi, mushroom ravioli, strawberry and goat cheese salad. They have a fun and eclectic wine list that surprises and delights me every time. I can’t say enough. Chef Alfio is a true star in Cincinnati. The staff is top notch. The entire experience is outstanding.
