I gotta give props to AI for coming across this restaurant. I asked what's the best pizza that I…read morecan order off Uber eats and fireside came up so I figured I'd give it a shot. I would say most of the time for at least the last decade whenever I order pizza after two slices, I feel super bloated and I need to take a nap. That was certainly not the case when I ate fireside. This caused me to do a bit more research and I found out the big difference is and how long they let the dough, I guess, rest so the enzymes and sugars can do their work. It goes to show paying a couple of extra bucks for quality makes a huge difference in your experience. Your stomach will thank you in the long run. I had the meats pizza and the pesto sauce was also exceptional. I don't care what kind of buy one get one free deal. I can get from any other joints in Cincinnati. I'm sticking with these guys in the future.

Amazing pizza, very good salad, and super polite service. What a great neighborhood spot…read more We went for lunch the other day, but they had some awesome looking happy hour deals too.

Inside is nice, tan and green and modern aesthetic…read more Waiter/tress was very nice. Attentive and ensured all was good for us. Garlic knots were incredible. Tasted fresh, and came with a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Would highly recommend! Gnocchi with pesto sauce was freakin incredible! Was hard to not finish (even though we were so full!) could eat the sauce by itself Pasta vodka was delicious too! Was slightly undercooked (pasta was a little hard) but the sauce was really good and would get it again! The tiramisu would delectable. Creamy and good size to share for two. Definitely a must get! If we lived in Cincinnati, this would be a spot we frequent once every few months. Its high quality ingredients and recipes, as well as reasonable prices, would drive us here for every date night. Highly highly recommend!!

The homemade pasta was amazing. I appreciate the fact the put our Caesar salad on two plates plates…read morewhen we noted we wanted to "split" a salad. I ordered salmon and it was nicely prepared and crisp on the outside with summer vegetables. The butter sauce was too voluminous for the dish and overwhelmed what was supposed to be a "light" dish - it was super heavy with melted butter. The environment for a Wednesday evening was busy! We had a bit of an issue in that we made the reservation over two weeks ago with the specific request to be seated away from the kitchen door, and we ended up being seated right near the very small hostess area and of course, next to the kitchen door. Our server mostly made up for it with good service and a very nice demeanor.

We have been wanting to try Saint Francis Apizza for quite some time. We finally got that chance…read morelast night. It was amazing! The flavor of the pizza is so good. I don't really have words to describe it. They only have one size pizza and, at first, I thought it was huge. However, the flavor was so amazing I kept wanting more. Hubs and I did a half and half pizza. His half was the Alms Park and my half was bacon and pineapple. I probably could have eaten a whole pizza by myself. The blend of cheeses and their sauce - so stinking good. We also got a house salad to split. Being that this was to go - they gave us the main salad in one container with their house made croutons in a separate container and their house made vinaigrette in a separate container - it keeps everything fresh and crisp! The croutons were so delicious and fresh! On top of that, the vinaigrette was amazing. We both fell in love with it. We walked in and ordered instead of placing online or calling. The service was AMAZING! We decided to wait in our car and they walked it out to us! They were amazingly friendly and wonderful. Their pizza isn't the cheapest pizza around but it was worth the money we spent. This won't be an every week visit, but definitely a new favorite. While this location is carry-out only, it was very welcoming. They also sell bottles of wine and had signs talking about them. It was a very neat little local place. I'd like to actually try their new location where we can eat in! Do yourself a favor and try this place.

My fiancée and I dined in at the Oakley location and absolutely loved it and wanted more. We saw…read morethat this location did take out/online ordering. We called it in and it only took 30 minutes. Their pizza is New Haven-style. This location only does New York style pizza, not Chicago. It's limited. They only carry salads, beer and wine to go. Also they do not offer gluten free but vegetarian. The inside does not offer dine in and only pick up. We ordered build your own which is the 16 inch with mozzarella, red sauce, sausage and mushrooms. The pizza was amazing! I absolutely loved the flavor and crust. So good that I requested my fiancée order next weekend! One of top 5 fave pizzerias in Cincinnati! Love them!

Taglio is a bustling pizza place in the heart of OTR with plenty of screens to watch sports. We…read morewere very hungry, and our order of a large Caesar salad, cheesy bread, and small hot honey, pepperoni and ricotta Detroit-style pizza was the perfect meal for two hungry people that had skipped lunch. The hot honey pepperoni pizza is a perennial favorite, and when our server suggested adding ricotta cheese, we thought we would try. Wow! The ricotta really takes the dish from good to great. I'll be ordering it this way from now on. The salads at Taglio are excellent, which is a surprise for a pizza place! Well balanced and fresh with great ingredients. The servers are very friendly. Taglio has enough space for larger parties and is a great option for families. The bathrooms have several stalls and are very clean. Those with pets can eat on the tables outside on nice days. I found the prices to be fair given the quality of the food and location - close to everything in OTR. Excellent choice for a casual meal before watching an FC Cincinnati game or seeing a show at the Children's Theater, Cincy Shakes, or Music Hall!

Visiting Cincy & wifey + kids needed GF pizza... they got 12 inch gluten-free pies & they were…read moreexcellent. Cheese was stretchy but not plastic, and the pepperoni was actually food - not the Franken-sludge called pepperoni that most joints serve. I never like pepperoni but this is the kind I had in NY & it's rare to find outside of real pizza locales. So let's cut to the chase: Taglio makes a ball-shatteringly amazing Detroit style pie, & if you disagree ... we cannot be friends anymore. I got the monster Detroit hot honey & pepperoni and I can safely say it's the best deep dish style I've ever had. I'm a tough-to-please eater so that's high praise. Service? A-1 ... Tony took care of us & he's a solid Italian gentleman. Ask for him. He knows his pizza, his bourbon, & his basketball. We are a few hours from this place but we shall return when we pass through again. Thanks, Tony. Andiamo!

We had better service here than most "normal" sit down restaurants. And the food...not one item we have tried was bad, the vast majority have been the best in their category. Best mozzarella sticks: it's obvious it's a higher quality mozz than whatever everyone else uses. Crispy perfection! Best GF/cauliflower pizza: lots of toppings to choose from (though somehow chicken isn't an option on DD) and again, from the mushrooms to the sauce, you can taste the difference. They make the sauces in house! According to my husband, best Chicken Parm he has had since moving here! You get a healthy portion. And...best cannoli in the area! Growing up in a predominantly Italian and Polish area, I have been lucky to have REALLY good Italian pastries...and their cannoli was reminiscent of those times. This has been the ONLY cannoli in the greater Cincy area that is worth consuming, IMO. All in all, we would dine in at Il Gusto constantly, if we lived closer. Glad they're on DoorDash though! If you are in the Kenwood area, and want a break from the chaos and crowds, Il Gusto is close by!

My mom, my niece, and I visited Bourbon House in Oakbrook on Saturday around 6:00 PM. We completely…read moreunderstood that it was busy and that there would be a wait, so the wait itself was not an issue. Unfortunately, the experience from the moment we sat down until we left was extremely disappointing. First, the soda from the main machine was consistently flat. After receiving flat soda multiple times, we eventually had to ask for refills directly from the bar because that was the only way to get a drink that was actually carbonated. We ordered an appetizer, a pizza, and an Alfredo fettuccine with breadsticks and a salad with ranch. Our server was Marlo. The pizza came out a full 20 minutes before my niece's pasta. When her meal finally arrived, it was completely incorrect. Instead of what we ordered, Marlo brought chicken Alfredo fettuccine with garlic bread and a Caesar salad. My niece's entire order was wrong, and it had already taken 20 minutes longer than our food to arrive. After we pointed out the mistake, Marlo did bring out the correct pasta and breadsticks--but it took another 15 minutes. By that point, my mom and I had already finished eating. My niece was essentially left waiting for her meal while the rest of us ate. Then, when we received the check, we were charged for the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and an additional dollar for the Caesar salad, neither of which was what we ordered. Marlo did not come back to our table for quite some time, so I eventually went up to McKenzie to have the bill corrected. She fixed the charges without me explaining everything that had happened, which I admittedly should have done. What was most disappointing was that, despite the incorrect order, the significant delay, the repeated drink issues, and the fact that my niece didn't receive her correct meal until my mom and I were already finished eating, there was absolutely no attempt to acknowledge or compensate us for the experience. Instead, the only explanation we received from Marlo was that "everyone is new." While I understand that people can be new and mistakes happen, that doesn't excuse the overall lack of communication or the way the situation was handled. We left feeling both rushed and ignored, and the experience was unnecessarily frustrating. Mistakes happen in restaurants, especially when it's busy, but what matters is how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, we did not feel that ours was handled well at all. For the price and overall experience, I expected much better and left extremely dissatisfied.

This is a review on the food that was ordered while we were at the speakeasy above the pizzeria…read more We ordered a caprese salad and the Vinny pie while upstairs at the speakeasy on a slow Thursday afternoon. The gentleman who brought us our caprese salad, didn't directly say anything to us, but instead spoke only to the bartender (as he placed the salad in front of us) and told him not to place any more orders for caprese. He seemed inconvenienced by our order and more interested in his smoke break. We were surprised at the presentation and at the lack of flavor but assumed that the pizza would be amazing! based on what we had read and heard - but were incredibly disappointed. The pizza was flavorless and Incredibly greasy. Our impression is that this must be a great location for college students or those who have enjoyed their drinking experience and need some grease to sober them up and don't mind what they are eating. We were very let down in our experience and the lack of professionalism from the employee who seemed to think that since he was in the speakeasy, he didn't need to be professional.
