- RRobinNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe dined here for my wife’s birthday and everything was perfect! The service was fantastic and we really enjoyed talking with the Sommelier, Matt. He gave us some excellent recommendations for wine and was very knowledgeable and kind. He even shared some recommendations for wineries for an upcoming trip to Oregon. The carpaccio was delicious, the endive salad was so refreshing and yummy, and the pasta was great also. It was the best meal I’ve had in a while, and the service and ambiance were awesome. Highly recommend!More infoCento – German VillagePrice: Expensive• Italian• German Village•4.8
- OTOpenTable DinerCincinnati / Dayton •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is my second time coming for Happy Hour, and again, lived up to my expectations!!! The service is amazing and the food took a lot shorter than expected, especially since we ordered two pizzas and salads, along with our drinks. The pizzas were phenomenal and I cannot recommend them both, the truffle and seasonal butternut squash, enough! The restaurant itself is very pretty on the inside and the lighting is light just enough, without being too bright. The manager is also very lovely and you can tell they really care about the restaurant and customers. Will definitely be coming back!!More infoThe Rossi Kitchen & BarPrice: Expensive• American• Short North - Arena District•4.6
- RRussellvipCincinnati / Dayton •36 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was our first time dining at Martini's since their remodeling and revamping of their menu. The quality of the food remains excellent, and they retained several of the earlier menu items and tweaked several others. The wines available by the glass are excellent. This is a special occasion restaurant, well worth a visit. The changes in the decor are relatively subtle. The energy level is fairly high, reflecting the apparent enjoyment of the patrons. Service is attentive without being intrusive.More infoMartini Modern ItalianPrice: Expensive• Italian• Short North - Arena District•4.8
