Il Gusto is not only one of THE best hole in the wall restaurants, it is also THE best Italian…read morewe've had in the area! Though spartan, the classic vibes and service are very welcoming! 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!

Catch a fire has come a long way. Can you believe they started as food truck for Mad tree Brewing…read moreand then moved to Mad tree 2.0 (no longer there) ,then extended their business in different locations. Wow! Pretty impressive. We used to eat at the Mad tree location almost every month. Now we're missing them and wanted to check out this nearest location to where we live. Love the inside! Has a contemporary rustic feel. They stepped it up and added outdoor igloos/seating, carry out wine and beer, specials during the week and extended their menu selection! Love it! We dined in on a Friday night. Fairly busy but was seated right away. Ashely was our server and was very friendly/attentive. We ordered: Drinks: La Serra Chianti Colli Sendai Madtree Seeing Colors Appetizer: Jalapeño popper potato skins Dinner: Mr Brown 10" Rebel Ranch 10" So when we got our food it was even better than the last time I had it at Mad tree. Presentation, quality and taste improved. Not that it was bad but I'm impressed with this location. The crust on the pizza is always on point and love the ingredients. They pair so well. The potatoes will always be my fave appetizers on the menu. Overall the experience was awesome and I will definitely return. They are on my top 5 on my list for best pizza in the Cincy area!

This week was pizza week and I tried the mellow mood pizza. It was ok, it felt like it was missing…read moresomething in flavor but not sure what it was. I used to come here for their buffalo soldier pizza. Our service was slow to start but eventually was better towards the end. We tried their wings and potato skins for apps. The wings had sort of a funky taste to them not sure why. They were cooked well and had a nice crisp though. I used to come here all the time and it has been probably been 2 years since I've been. The Italian margarita was great still and they seemed to be busy. I would come back to try a different pizza.

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!

I ordered a sausage pizza with shallots, fresh mozzarella slices, and arugula. There was A LOT of arugula on my pizza.

The bartender was so nice :)

We were driving from Nashville to Pennsylvania and stopped here on a whim after the place we…read moreoriginally planned to go to was closed -- and wow, we are SO glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing and we were seated immediately. The restaurant was spotless, and even the bathrooms were incredibly clean. The food was fantastic too. We ordered pizza, salad, an appetizer, and dessert, and everything came out quickly and tasted great. We were honestly shocked that the entire meal was under $50. And, we were in and out in about 45 minutes without ever feeling rushed. This was some of the best service we've had in a long time, especially while traveling. We'll absolutely be stopping here again -- this is officially our new pit stop between Tennessee and Pennsylvania!

Taglio has THE BEST pizza and dessert in the area. But, they…read moreare also the best at judging people and creating an unwelcoming environment. The food alone is 5 starts: Seasonal pizza, GF Detroit Style crust...every other pizza pales in comparison. I will dream about this pizza, even though I was hungry after. More chicken needs to be added! The chocolate sorbet was exquisite. No notes. Was not offered to add candied almond or hot honey, it didn't need it. Possibly best restaurant dessert. Lower score because I was judged harshly by my server about where I lived, them being uppity and saying, "Eww, I'd never live there." After observation it seems mostly "regulars" dine here, I must have not looked expensive enough, or behaved poorly enough. For the price, I shouldn't be leaving hungry, or ashamed. Taglio, I will forever crave this meal, and forever feel awkward about dining with you.

While we are equal opportunity pizza eaters -- Italian, Chicago, Detroit; thin, deep, flat bread --…read morewe've found favorites in all these styles. But since our daughter moved to Brooklyn, we have been craving some of the best pizza we had there. So naturally we had to try Brooklyn Pizza closer to home. We ordered a pepperoni and a Greek salad, carry out. Easy ordering online and the estimated time for pick up was right on target. I walked out with a steaming pizza and a chilled salad. The salad was great. Veggies were fresh and crisp. Plenty of Kalamata olives. The Italian dressing was a little bland so I'd probably choose a different dressing next time. The pizza was very good! Lots of cheese and a good amount of pepperoni. The crust was good, but I wished the cheese and sauce went right up to the edge on all the slices (a few slices were more crust, less goodies toward the edge). But I just left those slices for someone else to eat (gives hubs the side eye). Ambiance wise, this is a restaurant in a strip mall. Tables inside were 3/4 full on a Friday night. Friendly servers. Parking lot out front was a little narrow but enough spots to be found. Bottom line: Given this is not NYC, it was pretty good. We'll try the again - maybe the 3-meat version.
