    I was really excited to try this place for date night! I have to say the wine was excellent, the service was great, really cute place indoors and outdoors... but, $18 for this cheese and charcuterie plate??? I'm glad we didn't order more plates. This was such a small plate for $18, and they didn't even put enough jam... :(. I would definitely recommend to go try their wines, and for the cute ambience, but food wise, it's quite expensive and not worth it.

    Great wine, great shareables, chill ambiance! We walked in and the place seemed small, but they've got a large downstairs area, so there's no shortage of seating! The ambiance is very warm and rustic, featuring exposed brick all along the walls and a cozy fireplace. I got an Italian flight that went along with tonight's "disco" theme along with the cheese board, Brussels sprouts, two pasta varieties, and the house bread/spread -- all was incredible! The front half of our time was very chill and quiet, and then it quickly picked up for a very lively environment with a DJ, dancing, and disco themed outfits. They certainly know how to throw a themed party! VERY fun for both a chill conversational and party vibe. So glad we discovered this place -- we'll be back!

    Raclette- delicious!

    I've been here twice now. First for drinks and charcuterie, second for wine and raclette (I think it a Tuesday evening thing). This place is cozy... they had a fire burning. The food is good, drinks are good. A huge thumbs up!

    A beautiful space perfect for tasting new wines with amazing service. I decided to stop by after having dinner at a nearby restaurant and was seated at the bar. Reservations were required for large parties (3+). The server was extremely knowledgeable of all the wine and spirits on the menu and made amazing recommendations which resulted in me purchasing a bottle of wine to take home! I'm glad I stopped in and will definitely visit again.

    Three plates of pasta that were fantastic going well with our wine tasting. We will be back next Sunday.

    Our friend recommended something new for us to try, so we decides to try Oakley Wines on a Sunday for their wine tasting and pop-up pasta. Wine tasting runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and includes 5 wines that they've selected, from what I could tell most of the wines were from smaller winemakers produced in smaller batches. The wine tasting is done at your pace they keep track of which wine each person in the group is on. Each of the wines is described by the server, page were provided with a description of each of the wines on a piece of paper. Each of the wines we tasted were unique and each of the three of us found wines that we would like to buy. The cost of the wine tasting was $10 for the 5 wines. On the sheet of paper that we were provided it lists what the price of the wine would be by the glass by the bottle if you drank it there, or the bottle if you took it to go. Also every Sunday they have Sunday sauce a pop-up pasta party with chef David Jackman. Each Sunday David prepares a couple or so pasta dishes usually one of which is vegetarian and one or more others could be meat or whatever local fresh ingredients he might find. On this Sunday David prepared two fresh pasta dishes, a vegetarian agnolotti and a pork ragu spacciatelle. Both were fantastic. As a note our server Lydia is the chef from Oakley wines that prepares the small plates on Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday and she is married to David, they made a fantastic team this Sunday and we've already planned to go back on the next Sunday

    This is a great place to enjoy a drink and a snack at the bar of this very tasteful, sleek, sexy cellar. And it is not only for wine lovers, as they have a well stocked FULL BAR with cocktails, beers and kitchen serving warm plates to share! YUM! Encouraged by the super informative fun wine class earlier in the day, I felt like I had to come again and show this place to my Husband. We had so much fun! The bar is so nicely designed, very comfortable and cooool (I think the bar countertop is concrete), which is such a blessing in the current Cincy sticky heat! There is a quality wine shop upstairs stocked with great wines under 20 bucks, so you can grab something from there and enjoy in the cellar, but they have a long list of wines by the glass, beers and cocktails. I tried the goat cheese dip with pita bread and it was a great addition to the glass of Rose. I was surprised to see they offer a weekend breakfast! Way to go! I have yet to return for the live music and wine tastings, but so far so good! Great place!

    Great place! My Wife was so excited about the place and although I was afraid it would be just a wine bar (which is not my drink of choice), I was proven wrong! It is a cool inviting cellar under a small wine shop and they have a full bar, including a vast beer menu with some beer on tap. They have a short yet compelling food menu, including fancy dips with pita and freshly made flat breads. These are great for a drink or two and definitely shareable. The whipped goat cheese dip was excellent. The bartenders make a very good professional impression and the Owner was circling around, making sure everything was top notch. We had a pleasure of sitting at the bar with the Parents of the Owner, who told us about the years they lived in Paris. I kind of get the idea on how Zach, the owner, got hooked up on wines :D Since they have so many great wines in store, I asked for a Guinness Port. They do not have that on the menu, but were happy to accommodate my wish and it was exactly what I was missing from Europe! Great rich but flat stout with a side kick of Port wine! I will be back for more!

    Oakley wines is one of my favorite wine spots. The workers are so friendly and will help you navigate the wine menu. The wine is always rotating so there is something new to try or a new bottle to buy every time you visit. They also have killer cheese plates and S'MORES, which are so much fun for dessert (perfect to pair with a delicious sparkling, dessert wine!)

    Very cool space. Upstairs is a standard local bar. Brick walls and high top seating. However, downstairs there is even more seating and more of a "we're sitting in a winery" feeling. They allowed us to reserve a pretty large table which was really nice. They did eventually get too busy and with one bar tender, a full bar, and individual tables, we began to be forgotten. Aside from that, the space was great, the wine was delicious, and the bites we had were flavorful.

    I miss the old owners. Drink was over priced and ice cube with very little bourbon. Had to wait way to long and they don't have smores anymore

    The Cellar is a cool spot. Check it out!

It was a Friday night, so probably pretty normal. All of that said, our meal was delicious. We loved the arancini appetizer (the sauce is finished with a lemon zest and was excellent) and the bread with butter was so, so good (do not skip it). We shared a margarita pizza and it was delicious. I recommend waiting a minute for the crust/cheese to firm up but the flavor and crust were amazing. I had the bolognese and it was absolute perfection. It's a large serving and I had leftovers for a couple days. My husband got the cacio e Pepe. He liked it but I found it sort of flavorless and not enough pepper. For dessert, we had the Pope's salame. It's unique and very tasty! We could only eat half because we were so full but I'm glad we tried it.

The vibes were quaint, cozy, and moody -- perfect for a lovely fall evening. Parking is tough so give yourself enough time. It's definitely a tighter space, so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties, but the staff handled our group with such grace and care! We started with a few appetizers: the arancini had a nice kick, the bruschetta was amazing, and the burrata with pesto was really, really good. My drink of the night was hands down the Tequila Old Fashioned -- so smooth and well-balanced! For dinner, I had the Cacio e Pepe, which was tasty but a little heavy on the pepper for me. I also shared a Caesar salad that was really fresh -- just needed a touch more dressing for my taste. Overall, a great addition to the lineup of Italian spots in the city. Cozy atmosphere, thoughtful service, and that cocktail alone will bring me back!

I've made my way through the entire menu (food and drinks), and there honestly isn't a single item I wouldn't recommend. Everything is consistently spot on every single time. That kind of reliability is hard to find, and it's exactly why I keep coming back. That said, a few personal favorites stand out. The goat cheese flatbread appetizer is a non-negotiable. It's the kind of dish you order "for the table" but secretly don't want to share. The cacio e pepe and pasta rustica are also incredible and always hit. As for drinks, the seasonal espresso martini is always a go-to and never disappoints. But my personal favorite is either the regular old fashioned or, when I'm feeling myself, the wagyu old fashioned... especially if Scott is behind the bar. He clearly knows what he's doing, and it shows. The service is always warm, attentive, and consistent, which makes the whole experience even better every time. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and a bartender who takes his craft seriously. I'll definitely be back (again...and again).

The bartender said these are made to order, mozzarella pulled and filled after I placed my order. The atmosphere was cozy and right in the heart of Covington. Both bartenders were super friendly and when I said all of a sudden I did not feel well, they took my meal and put it in a box for me and got me an ice water to go. I will definitely stop in the restaurant again to give something else on the menu a try. Probably will order the same cocktail as it was so good.
