Cincinnati's 5 best spots for fancy Italian food
"Nicola's in OTR closed for a week to figure out how to change from a fine-dining Italian restaurant to a to-go restaurant. They are offering a simplified menu with salads, three kinds of pasta plus a daily special and three $25 entrees like chicken parmesan involtini and steelhead trout. Their pastas, like tagliatelle Bolognese comes in three sizes: $12, $17 and a family-sized $22."
"Primavista is an elegant, upscale restaurant that serves classic Italian fare and fine wines against a backdrop of stunning views over the Cincinnati skyline and Ohio river. The laid-back eatery boasts warm and welcoming décor and a friendly ambiance and offers a plethora of authentic and traditional Italian dishes like veal piccata, lasagna, veal meatballs, and sautéed mahi-mahi. Mouthwateringly decadent desserts include tiramisu, homemade gelato, and Tuscan brownies."
"Considered the best Italian restaurant in Cincinnati, Primavista combines great food and a stunning location. In fact, dining at Primavista doesn’t only represent a delicious culinary experience, but is also the right choice for an elegant and chic night out. This is because the restaurant provides a breathtaking view of Cincinnati skyline and Ohio River."
"Authentic Italian comfort food at its finest, Pepp & Dolores dishes up satisfying plates of pasta that would make any Italian nonna proud. A glass of vino to accompany the “Dunk,” a baguette served with herbed olive oil and vinegar for dipping, is the perfect introduction to your meal. Follow it up with soulful pastas adorned with meaty Sunday sauce, roasted beets and goat cheese, seafood, lamb ragu, or pesto or chili-flecked lemon."
"Pepp and Dolores is as good as it gets when it comes to authentic Italian food in Cincinnati, Ohio. For starters, all pasta dishes are made in-house, making it the highest quality pasta in town. They also have a wide variety of delicious wine that pair perfectly with the tapas appetizers and delicious pasta entres."
"Located in the heart of Clifton’s Gaslight District, Biagio’s Bistrois a bit of a hidden gem that locals love. The service here is excellent, the dishes are delicious, and the atmosphere is inviting. One of our go-to dishes here is the tomato basil soup, but the whole menu is filled with plenty of delicious choices."
"The chef has five burners in full view, preparing dishes while chatting with you in between orders. The menu choices range from fettuccine and penne boschiola to chicken scaloppini. The tiramisu is great for dessert."
"Ninth St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the day spa and skincare spot five stars out of 28 reviews."
"Over in CUF, check out Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, which has earned four stars out of 28 reviews on Yelp. You can find the fast-food spot at 237 Calhoun St."
"For “All-American” kid-pleasing cuisine, you can’t beat Frisch’s. The Kid’s Menu is loaded with favorites like grilled cheese, chicken tenders and burgers – all served with a side of Frisch’s crispy, thick-cut fries. Crayons and coloring pages make the wait fun for kids and pleasant for parents!"
"The restaurant is a great place to order a hot and fresh burger, and kids love it for their kiddy meals. The place is accommodating enough when you enter. There’s a parking lot for your car and a drive-through if you just want to order take out."
