    Inside and case of cannoli that they will pipe fresh!
    Meera K.

    Omg this gelato is sooo yummy! Also the place is so beautifully decorated. Located across the street from findlay market this is a great place to stop at on a hot day! They have tons of traditional gelato flavors and the owner is so sweet. I got the stracciatella and toasted almond. You can get 2 flavors in 1 scoop! They have fresh cannoli that they pipe right in front of you too! Def want to try it out next time. They also have several flavors in pints to purchase and take home.

    This is the best Gelato in Cincinnati. The best Gelato to ever even step foot in Cincy. It's traditional and authentic. Light and packed with flavor. The owner and every person who works here are wonderful when I've talked to them. This business has class from start to finish, which I can't say for other surrounding Gelato places. Inside is always really clean, and you gotta love that. They also have a fridge of gelato and some cakes. Make sure you grab an amazing Cannoli that they pipe and fill right in-front of you. The location is perfect across the street from Findlay Market, so you can sit inside or outside to enjoy your gelato. Please go support this wonderful place.

    Vegan and gluten free heaven. It is such a joy to have a luxury like this. The magic is where the flavors join. I read about this place and the owner in CityBeat and was so excited to try it. Safe treats! The owner was lovely and even went in the back to get another v flavor for us to try. We bought a pint of pumpkin to go. It was my least favorite flavor. But I don't mean that any disservice. I would very, very gladly eat any of the four flavors we tried. Tip. I think my freezer made the texture a bit off... definitely spoiled by knowing what the good stuff tastes like now. And I will be back for more soon.

    You haven't tried real Gelato until you've tried uGO. The owners make sure you get the full Sicilian experience with unique, mind blowing flavors and ingredients brought straight from Sicily (where their family is from). They have a rotating base of flavors (and I heard you can make special requests). Here some of the flavors I've tried: Cream based: Stracciatella, Gianduia, Nocciola (favorite), Pistacchio, Amarena (favorite) and Vainiglia; and fruit-based: Frutti Di Bosco and Limone (favorite). They also have additional dairy-free options, make sure to ask. The owner (Liliana) is an award winner Chef, recognized as one of the top 3 Gelato Chef in America. As you're ordering you can appreciate her laboratory (or kitchen) and see how she crafts small batches of Gelato and how she perfectly puts together Cannolis and beautiful frozen cakes.

    Genuinely the best gelato I've ever had in my life. It's incredible. So soft and flavorful I enjoyed every bite. I would visit this place every week if I lived closer! A little pricey but worth every dime. Cannoli are fantastic as well

    Amazing gelato outside of Findlay market. Everything is house made and it tastes fresh. The owners are so friendly and they made all the gelato cookie sandwiches that morning! It's a small little shop with no seating but there are a couple tables outside to sit if it's nice weather.

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.

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.

Because it is so exxxxxxpensive, this is not a restaurant you casually dine at. But since it was my sister's Bachelorette weekend, my group of 7 treated the bride-to-be to a luxurious dinner here in May 2026. And she had a wonderful experience! The interior is gorgeous, elegant, and smells amazing. The staff is professional and runs with the efficiency of a Michellen-starred restaurant. I always enjoy watching a staff of 7 deliver the table their food like they are performing a choreographed dance. I ordered the cheapest drink on the menu - a yummy local beer from MadTree for $7. The others had much more expensive cocktails that were $20+. You won't have to worry - while their food menu is small and selective, the drink menu is HUGE. They surprised us with glasses of in honor of my sister's upcoming nuptials. That was a lovely treat! I kept to being a cheap-o and ordered the $18 "Arpege" salad as my main. It didn't have any meat but it had a lot of cheese! Yum! Others ordered more substantial mains like the scallops, the beef tartare, the halibut, etc. All were plated beautifully. I had a bite of the bolognese, and while a small portion, it was superb. You do have to pay for bread service but it is unlimited refills so on $8, the 7 of us went through 6 loaves of bread and 6 trays of delicious salted butter. I personally probably had 2 loaves on my own. My god, it was the best thing I ate the entire trip! After we ate our mains, we then ordered a variety of desserts. Most of us got ice cream (get the strawberry!!). My sister and another girl got the famous "candy bar" dessert and the cheesecake. I had a bite of the candy bar and for $15, it was the most dense candy bar ever! Sooooo much chocolate! I'll end here but with tax and tip, we paid about $630ish. My portion was $51, by far the lowest of the group. I got out relatively cheaply because I filled up on bread but feel free to treat yourself and indulge a bit more!

We…read morefrequent another pasta restaurant in town and wanted to try something new that also had several Italian classics to choose from. It was all delicious, service was wonderful, vibes were beautiful, and I felt the food came at a good value for what we ordered. Mainstrasse in Covington is an experience and Mama's is part of that! We sat outside on the patio to take it all in- highly recommend in nice weather. The building itself is beautiful and both the inside and outside feature artsy details in the decor that I really appreciated. My favorite was the mismatched plates, which were darling and cozy! Our waitstaff was quick and friendly, allowing us to order all at once and bringing things out with great timing- quickly, but not until we finished a course so we weren't rushed. We appreciated getting in and out relatively quick as we had a sitter at home. We decided to go a little all out and try a lot of items together. First, the focaccia and ricotta was enjoyable but not my favorite bread starter I've had. It hit the spot but I wasn't raving about it like another one of my favorite whipped ricotta starters across town. The arancini, however, was fantastic- probably our favorite thing we ate. Hot, crispy, and paired with a delicious spicy marinara that was super standout and flavorful. Next we got the stonefruit panzanella, which was beautiful and really yummy. The burrata was delicious in particular and while the cherries and peaches weren't the best I've had all season, they worked well together in this dish. For our entrees, we split both the chicken parmesan and the limone pasta. The chicken parmesan was huge, we both had a large piece even after it was split. The pasta had that delicious marinara from earlier and we really enjoyed it, which is saying a lot for a simple marinara spaghetti. The chicken was very thin and crispy. I liked the limone even better- it was very lemon forward which can be hard to achieve in a creamy sauce. We only wished we tried more shapes of pasta because it's made in house and the spaghetti was the perfect level of al dente in our opinions. We were super full, but ordered the cookie platter to finish the meal. We split a couple of the 6 cookies that came in 3 varieties, but took the rest home! The chewy almond/amaretto cookie was our favorite and really unique. My husband also had an old fashioned and commented that he liked it a lot. I would have expected this much food to come out to much more than it did- $100! I feel that is a great value for a special occasion considering we were stuffed and tried a ton of menu items. Overall, this was such an indulgent and fun experience and I'd highly recommend Mama's to anyone who is looking for a yummy Italian experience with comfort food classics in a fun, cozy Covington setting.

I did get a spot at the bar and service was outstanding!! They are so busy there but your wouldn't know it with the service! Super nice and attentive and busy! I love that the owner/head chef walks around and chats up the customers. Really makes you feel special, but he did it with everyone!! I asked a server for her favorites and she said the gnocchi with salmon.... So I went with that because I had thought about it the day before. It doesn't usually come with salmon but that was a great suggestion, I loved it. The bar tender suggested a Chianti, it was awesome!! Then some customers were raving about their espresso martini so I tried that and it was also great! Next time I'm in the Cincinnati area I will eat here again!! Delicious food, excellent service, a kitchen that cares, and amazing food! Do it!!
