Spaghetti & Meatballs
Connie H.

It was a nice day outside. We were excited to find that they had a really nice porch. It's a little bit of an odd set up, we didn't know whether to go in through the front door, or downstairs where there seem to be a party happening, or go up the steps. We chose the letter and then walked through the restaurant to find a hostess stand. It took about 15 minutes for someone to see that we were sitting outside as no one told her that we were sat. Other than that, our server was great. The food was great. I just had spaghetti and meatballs, and it was plenty.

Perfect dinner.Great neighborhood place for a good and consistently delicious meal! Great atmosphere and very accommodating waitstaff.

Toscano pizza
Nhi T.

Ordered: vodka tortellini with a garlic knot and toscano pizza Our server was pretty busy but she was great- quick to get our order, checked in on us. The pizza was okay. The crust is really thin and crispy. There was a ton of toppings- essentially a meat lovers pizza. I couldn't really taste the sauce but it was pretty cheesy. The vodka tortellini was overwhelmed by the amount of garlic in the sauce that I couldn't taste anything else. The tortellini was filled with cheese. The garlic knot came out warm and was also generous with the garlic. Overall, my only memory is the taste of garlic throughout the whole meal. I'm glad they had peppermint at the front counter to grab before leaving.

Meatballs
Clifford R.

The food was great meatballs are large and a marinara sauce was excellent. Service was outstanding and a restaurant not fancy, but was very clean and accept. I will highly recommend that anxious to go back and try the chicken Parmesan.

Padrino participated in Cincinnati Pizza Week this year and I got the individual pepperoni for $10. So good! It was my first time in there since they expanded. Looks great inside and outside (especially love the outdoor patio). Bonus points for letting me call in and pick up my order as most other CPW restaurants were dine in only. I'll be back to eat a proper meal in!

Canolli
Amber S.

Stopped in on a Thursday evening and was quickly seated. The ambiance was a bit strange for a casual Italian spot. There were tiny test kitchen videos playing on the tvs which did not seem to fit the rest of the vibe. Nevertheless, my group ordered Parmesan fries, mozzarella bites, lasagna and Alfredo and enjoyed everything we had. Since it was our first time, the server surprised us with a free canolli for dessert which we appreciated!

Vodka tortellini
Charles T.

Swung by after seeing them on cincysavers. We got the vodka tortellini and the tuscano 10' pizza. The pasta had quite a bit of garlic with every bite and was very overwhelming I couldn't taste much else. The portions were very generous and enough for two to share. The tuscano pizza had a very hard and ticker crust and there was quite a bit of mozzarella and that it overwhelmed the meats. The service was pretty good and the restaurant had two story's with a cozy homey feel. Overall, not exactly where I would go if I was craving the best of each dish.

Lemon basil martini
Eileen B.

A friend recommended Padrino and said we have to try it. We are so glad we did. The menu is an array of Italian items from hoagies pizza lasagna and spaghetti and meatballs. Also yummy cocktails Our table ordered spaghetti and meatballs pepperoni pizza Parmesan fries and I had Italian sausage with peppers hoagie. Everything came out fantastic Our servers were nice and very attentive. A plus in my book

LL Salad and cheese bread. Greek and toscano pizzas
S F.

Even if you have reservations plan to wait a little bit. There is outdoor seating if the weather is right but it's a small dining room and a popular place. Great flavors in their pizza and salads. Nice bar area serving a decent selection of mixed cocktails and local beers. A few domestics are as cheap as $3-$5 for the local college crowd (or those that still drink like it) There are specials daily but I didn't get a pic of that. Look to be closed on Mondays according to the sign outside

Pep / sausage pizza
Bill G.

Pizza and garlic knots was awesome. Great customer service! I will definitely come back again

Meat-lovers or equivalent pizza
Julia C.

Loved discovering this local spot! Good pizza and fun to go while it was participating in restaurant week to get its "Five Pepperoni" (or something like that) pizza as well as the meat-lovers equivalent! It was yummy and a cute, not-overly-crowded spot!

Went in today for lunch, the place is very nice, our waitress was pleasant and the food was delicious. Since it was lunch, I shared the fried zucchini sticks which were so good and I had a chicken Caesar salad that was so delicious . I will definitely be back for dinner so that I can try some of the other dishes but definitely don't sleep on this place!!

Meatball sub was good, sauce on the side would have made sub better. They did give plenty of french frys. Will try another sub later.

The catering half sheet pan was only half full. For an $85 price I would expect to be full.

We went to Cork N Crust on a Friday just before 6 p.m. and were seated right away, which was a…read moregreat start for a busy night. Service wasn't the fastest, but everyone was friendly and welcoming. What really stood out for me was the vegan menu. I was genuinely excited to see solid options, and I'd absolutely go back just to work my way through more of them. I ordered the Vegan Chardonnay pizza -- bianca sauce, roasted garlic, roasted mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, vegan cheese, and rosemary. I'm usually not a white sauce person, but this one completely won me over. It was rich, flavorful, and balanced in a way that made every bite interesting without feeling heavy. The crust was also excellent -- that perfect mix of airy and crisp. Bonus: the leftovers reheated surprisingly well in a dry pan on the stove. The only downside was the garlic... and I mean seriously heavy. I smelled like garlic for a full 24 hours afterward, despite brushing, mouthwash, showering, and mints. Not subtle. Still, I'd order it again without hesitation. Worth it.

Good thing we made a last minute reservation as it was very busy for a Friday evening…read more Brady our server took absolutely great care of us. Gave us a few tips on food choices. The best tip was that a Friday Happy Hour from 3-6 meant $6 Calzones INCLUDING "Make Your Own". They had quite a selection of sauces and ingredients. All 4 of us each picked our own and they were EXCELLENT. We also had "Cork Breadsticks" and Toasted Raviolis as appetizers. The raviolis were just a "tad" overdone but very good nonetheless. It's not a very big place and since it was pouring down rain we don't know how their outdoor setup is but as mentioned, make a reservation.

They offer picnic tables outside, and every time I've been there I have commented that I hope to sit there when the weather is nicer. The place is small, the staff is small, and the food is good, so sometimes they get pretty crowded -- occasionally I've had a long wait both in line to order and then at a table waiting for our food -- but it's worth the wait.

Okay, I understand the hype! Bourbon House Pizza does Chicago deep dish pizza perfectly. My husband…read moreand I split one of the supreme pizzas and got Italian sausage and mushrooms in it. It was honestly so delicious, and oddly enough was even better reheated the next day! (Reheated great in a toaster oven) It also came out quicker than I expected. (With it being Chicago deep dish, I was prepared to wait!) We also got their appetizer sampler. The items were good, but the pizza balls definitely stood out! The dough was so fantastic and clearly homemade. It was perfectly buttery and flaky, yet firm structural. The sauce was also delicious. A must: pairing everythingggg with their house made ranch. My brother got a steak hoagie and was pretty disappointed when a small sandwich with a meat patty and a side of potato chips is what came out. It just didn't match the caliber of the pizza at all. We also got to Italian sub style hoagies, and those were both small and underwhelming as well. The dining room had a bit of a disheveled feel but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was off. The servers were attentive and kind. We parked at the Levee and walked over. Overall synopsis: I actually can't wait to get pizza here again!!!

We stopped in before a show at Southgate House. It was a Friday and we made reservations for 5:30…read more Reservations at this time were not needed; it was not crowded. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. They have outside seating, which could be nice in the right weather, though the area is just feet from the main drag. Our server was fine. I have no real recollection of them. We ordered a deep dish, looking to find a pizza as good as Zachary's in California. Bourbon House Pizza is not as good as Zachary's, but it is the best deep dish pizza we've tried in the Cincinnati area since we've been back in Cincinnati since 2021. We made our own pizza in an attempt to match our favorite - spinach and mushrooms. It was good. I enjoyed the sauce on top. Under the sauce, the cheese was very thick making the overall taste of the pizza very cheesy. We had a similarly cheese deep dish in Chicago. Our pizza at Bourbon House was better. I will say the crust is thick. I would have eaten the crust if there had only been two pieces per person. Since I was faced with potentially eating four pieces, I opted to skip the crust. One of our group asked if she could order from the kid's menu. The server had no issue with the request. Oddly enough, her meal was huge! We were all surprised it was a kid's meal. Our fourth ordered a small pizza. It looked like it had pineapple on it. I didn't ask how it was, but he ate every bite. It must have been a small and it was the perfect single serving size. Oh... we ordered a medium deep dish. It was eight pieces and was too much for two people. Because we were going to a show after dinner, we didn't box up the leftover two pieces. This size pizza would be great for four people to share. We will continue to look for great deep dish pizza, but we definitely found a good one at Bourbon House Pizza.
