I sampled the chicken salad and the tuna salad-- both excellent and extremely well seasoned. I opted for the chicken salad on one of their homemade croissants. It was absolutely phenomenal.

Do you want the BEST sandwich the area has to offer? Look no further than Alveo, where everything…read moreis amazing. Service was excellent. Somehow they could tell I was new to Alveo, and they explained the process. Cashier was very sweet. Owner/Head chef took the time to chat with me, it obvious he cares as much about the ingredients as he does the customers' experience. Top notch dude. The sandwich? Criminally delicious. All the ingredients of the Tacchina were different temps, textures, flavors, so when they came together between the bread, it was an unparalleled experience. If they sold the GF focaccia by the loaf, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I respect the ingredients of the chips, just didn't love the flavor and texture (olive oil) and the bag is big enough to share with a friend. Tried the orange Italian soda, wasn't a fav, but maybe another flavor would be better. Would like to see more umbrellas for the patio, but I was lucky to snag a spot in the shade, at that point in the day. Alveo is the best sandwich I've had in 7 years of living here! Almost glad I don't live closer, as I'd be here constantly! Worth the drive! I will dream of the Tacchina!

Chicago flavor is in Cincinnati!…read more I stopped by Knuckles Deli & went straight for the sandwich they're known for -- the Italian Beef. Knuckles Deli opened in March 2026 by owners & friends Britton de la Chapelle, Cesar Salazar & David Hall, and they're bringing their love of Chicago-style food to Cincinnati! After years of working in the restaurant industry for other companies, they wanted to have a place to call their own. Let's get into the bites! I ordered the Italian Beef Hot & Dry, topped with Marconi Giardiniera + Cheese on a Turano roll straight from Chicago, with their Au Jus on the side to dip it in. Both the Italian Beef & Au Jus are made from scratch using Cesar Salazar's old family recipe, and you can taste the love & tradition in every bite! That savory, juicy beef + the kick from the giardiniera + that Au Jus dip? CHEF'S KISS. Of course, I had to round out the Chicago experience with the Potato Salad & Chicago Italian Beef Kettle Chips, which were yummy as well! My favorite bites? Definitely the Italian Beef & Au Jus!

I'm really excited to see this place move in and from the line, I can tell that I'm not alone. The…read moresandwiches are great - the Italian beef was exactly what I was hoping for. It did take a long time to get my order because of how many people were waiting, but that's not a bad sign - the demand was real. The seating situation is kind of strange. There are only a few seats at the bar and if those are filled, you have to take your food to go. There is a back section that is half makeshift storage and half a grocery store. I think this is a missed opportunity and they could rearrange this and add some tables back there.

We had the burger, the salmon caesar wrap, the club and the cobb salad. We all enjoyed our food. The only thing keeping them from a 5 star rating was the food took a long time to come out and they were not that busy. Give this place a try if you are in Clifton.

I would definitely lunch here again…read more I was looking forward to a lamb patty but they stopped offering that around a month ago. I had a gorgonberry salad with a bison patty on the side and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked bison patty with a lovely char and good flavor. Little Mister had the Sriracha Caesar salad sans Sriracha and red onion. He finished the entire salad plus a side of onion rings. The small salads are generously sized. Hubs had the beginning burger and he was very happy with it. It was super juicy and delicious. I like that they have a large outdoor dining area that is covered which is perfect when the weather permits. Rock on BRU

That's what I get for getting chicken at a burger place. 7/10 HUGE sandwich though. My friend got their signature burger and said it was delicious . Chili cheese fries were okay. 7/10 aswell. Finished off with root beer float. Now that was good, worth the $8 I think. For the price, I don't think it is worth it. The burgers are very big, but the little bit of flavor is missing. Service was great! Place was clean, so it got the stars it deserved for that reason.

Went back of 4/17 and met the man behind my delicious creation. Tavis Rockwell! Wonderful, interactive man with a touch of sass to go with the class behind his food creations. Tavis offered us tastes of various creations and nothing disappointed. The Italian Beef is insanely good. I was afraid of the possible heat due to the peppers, but it was just enough to many you want and be able to eat more. Greens? I was leery when I was told there is vinegar in them. SOLD!! They were fantastic. Tavis makes a homemade goetta that would make my German ancestors proud. We then learned that Saturday is breakfast all day. He had us at biscuits and gravy. (You can get lunch and dinner items as well, but WHY?). We came back the next morning and split an order that was just enough for two. When you go, make sure to tell Tavis you will pay for the water, but you hear the food is free!!

It's lovely! What a treasure to have a bodega type store in the neighborhood. I got a sneak peek at some charcuterie boards they had made. They were scrumptious looking. Back to the food. Each sandwich is named after then owners grandparents. My husband got the Ruth Anne. He said the Braunschweiger was delicious. I'm not that adventurous. I did enjoy the chicken pesto panini. The bread!!! Wowza! So buttery. It's a delicious sandwich. The pear and blue cheese salad is ok. It didn't wow me but salads rarely do. Next time I'm trying the chicken salad.
