Biagio's Bistro

My husband and I came here for lunch and absolutely loved it! It’s truly a hidden gem that is cozy and welcoming, yet surprisingly spacious with plenty of tables. While it has that classic hole in the wall feel, there was lots of room, and it even seemed like a large family Christmas party was coming in after us, which gave the place a warm and lively atmosphere. I ordered the chicken fettuccine and my husband got the penne boscaiola, and both were delicious. We each had a house salad, and the dressing was amazing. We also shared the bruschetta, which was so fresh and flavorful. The portion sizes were incredibly generous. My husband is a big guy and we still had to take food home. To top it all off, we had the amazing peanut butter pie, which was a highlight of the meal because I am always on the hunt for an amazing peanut butter pie! Our waitress was a sweet young lady who was so kind, and the food came out quickly. We really loved our experience, highly recommend this place, and will definitely be back.

EXCELLENT Italian! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warm, inviting, smells of garlic and sauce. I had the pesto pasta with chicken and a Greek salad. The garlic 😍 Goodness. Your Nona would be proud. Definitely recommended!

09/17/2025 - One of my closest friend and I visited Biagio’s Bistro based on her recommendation (she had dined here before). I love Italian food and sadly they did not have Lasagna on the menu. The decor homages European culture from then. The seating was comfortable. They have a small bar that is in a small room with a see through window. Open kitchen area. I ordered a good cocktail, a Cesar salad, their turkey sandwich on the croissant (yummy), and a house made dessert which was delicious. Our server was awesome and as were the staff. Paid street parking out front and near by streets. Decent prices.

The tomato soup is the best on the planet. I’ve had it at least 20x. Everything here is absolutely phenomenal, service, prices, entrees, desserts, this is one of the best restaurants in the entire city, anyone with access to it simply has to go try it, can’t say enough good about Biaggio's. Again - I’ve eaten here like, 10-20x. Probably more honestly. I’m about to go get soup

I’ve been to many places around the world. In fact I’m currently visiting Cincinnati and picked this place based on the inflated Google reviews. This place, at best, deserves a 3/10. The atmosphere is dingy and run down, food is bland, lacking any real effort, quality, nor taste. The best thing about this place was the waitresses attempt at providing good service. I left her a $10 tip on a ~$40 check to exemplify that. The rest, honestly - find somewhere else to dine. Don’t believe the reviews. Cincinnati deserves better. Attaching photos for proof.

Came here for dinner with my mother after visiting some festival nearby. The restaurant itself is small, but not uncomfortably so. It wasn't too busy, and we got in rather quickly. The atmosphere was amazing, the decor was quite charming, and the layout was in such a way where you could see the chefs cooking from the front of the restaurant. As for the food, I got tomato soup and salad, and we both got a plate of pasta as well. The tomato soup was creamy and delicious, the salad was quite refreshing, and the pasta was perfectly al dente, with exquisite sauces and such. Not to mention, the portion sizes for the pasta were huge, so we had plenty to take home as well. Finally, we ended our meal with a dessert. We got the tiramisu. Sweet, light, creamy, and delicious. I'll say, no Italian food will ever beat the food in Italy itself, but if you can't afford the trip to Italy, this may be the next best place to go for good Italian cuisine.

One of the best meals we've had in some time, and way better than that movie set across the river. Everything was exceptionally good, well-flavored, and brilliantly executed. The sauces are made fresh in an open kitchen, and it was clear nothing there came from a food service delivery. The tiramisu was quite literally the best I've had outside of Little Italy. Cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu.

The food is amazing. If you want Italian cuisine, this is your place. We had a party of 8 friends and they gave us the large table in the back and it was perfect. Our waitress was very particular and wanted to do things right and took all of our names and addressed us by name. She was very good and we knew she was either co-owner or she had owned her own business at some point in her life. She told us she was an owner of a restaurant several years ago. All of us loved our meals and the price was not bad. I was expecting $200+ for 3 of us but it was less than half that. We knew we were in for a treat when we saw the clientele walking in while we were parking. You could tell they knew it was a great place to eat. The place was packed. We are all talking about making this a tradition and we all live a good distance from Clifton Ohio.

A lovely Italian Bistro; charming, romantic and elegant vibe, just the right touch of sophistication. Beautiful decor. Italian music playing very softly. Family run, homemade pasta! Open kitchen front and center and the sizzle of olive oil and scent of garlic really stimulate the senses and get your appetite honed. Then comes the wonderful food to delight the tastebuds. It's truly a bistro; the menu is small, but the recipes and methods are perfect, and the food comes quickly. It is a joy to watch the chef in action with multiple burners in operation. The prices are very reasonable especially considering the included soup or salad, and the entree portions are not skimpy! We both got Italian Wedding soup and they give you a generous bowlful. It was full of tender little meatballs and very comforting and tasty. My husband had the chicken fettuccine alfredo...so flavorful and a perfect sauce, not too heavy, and loved the chopped green onion mixed in. Yes I had a couple forkfuls. I had the delectable chicken salad, some of the best ever; the inclusion of grapes really elevates the flavor. Pro tip: get this on a hero roll (a/k/a hoagie bun). This was toasted and I really liked the lettuce and tomato on the side so I could build it myself. Desserts! SAVE ROOM or take one home. Chocolate cream pie was a mile high, delicate chocolate crumbs atop an amazingly creamy whip, just sweet enough. I took a slice of Limoncello Torte home and we also got an order of Penne Bosciola to go to share tomorrow. The pasta is penne rigate and also homemade. There's a parking lot behind the buildings on the opposite side of the street so prepare to walk a bit as the likelihood of finding a spot on the street is slim to none. But I'd walk a mile (or drive 100) to eat here. Delicioso!

I don't even know where to start with this. It genuinely pains me to leave bad reviews, especially during rough financial times and both my partner and I having worked in food service. But our experience was so bad, and seeing others who've had similar experiences, I am extremely confused by all the good reviews. We came here because of all the rave reviews. We were a bit perplexed by the ambiance (feels more like a diner) but willing to give it a shot. They were understaffed so we gave a lot of grace to the slow service. We could see that the person cooking and the female server were very busy and constantly working while the male server seemed to be on some type of substance that made him pace around mumbling, but not really helping. At one point he made a very strange comment to us. Every thing we ate was either very average or worse. Other reviews talked about how the bread was cold and did not taste fresh or homemade. I would agree with this. The butter packets were warm, practically melted, and the bread was stale and cold. The artichoke dip was more like oily cheesy garlic dip with a hint of artichoke. The soups were probably the best part of the meal, but still disappointing. I had the special, which was extremely bland and the steak very overcooked. My partner had one of the pasta dishes that the server said was the owners recipe. Neither of us ate even half the meal. Nobody asked us how our food was or even checked on us until the very end. We waited long time to pay and eventually went up to the front to pay so we could leave. Again, understand that they are understaffed but this all rolls together into a disappointing experience that does not call for another return.

Meh. I've lived in Clifton for 13 years and have only been here twice for a reason. The first time was years ago when a server messed up the tip I gave and double-tipped themselves. The management straightened it out the next day, but I remember telling myself I wouldn't go back. Fast forward to 2025 and I let a friend talk me into going again. This was disappointing from start to finish. We seated ourselves in a window seat on a really slow Thursday afternoon/evening, and it took our server a strangely long time to come to the table after we received water. I normally might not notice, but the place was kinda dead, so it was weird. When the server finally comes to the table she looks at us and says, "Been waiting long? So do you want a drink?" I was stunned. No, "hi, welcome to Biaggio's, my name is Susie-Q. Have you dined with us before? Would you like to hear our specials? Is this your first time?" Nada. None of the customary niceties you expect when heading out to eat. We weren't very hungry, just peckish, and had decided to split an appetizer and get some soup before walking the neighborhood. Apparently this was an issue for our server who said, "You're not gonna get an entree?" after we ordered. If disdain had a tone, she absolutely used it. We politely declined as I ordered from my dirty menu (there were bits of someone else's food smeared across the top) and settled in. The meal was just so-so: * there's nothing special about the bread, just run of the mill small slices * there's nothing special about the butter, just margarine in cheap little plastic packets * the pasta pearls in the soup were overcooked (they'd clearly been sitting in a broth all day) * the spinach artichoke dip had a mealy texture (like the proportions of mayo/cream cheese/asiago were either off or a cheap brand of something was used because it didn't melt completely/properly) and there was an overly-brine-y taste (like they use canned artichokes). Our server "forgot" to bring us the olive oil and balsamic we requested when the bread was first served, and rarely spoke directly to us. Anything we asked for she'd walk away from the table and respond with her back turned as she walked away. At one point she said, "Oh, you could have had him bring you that," in reference to the oil and vinegar we'd requested that she'd promptly forgotten (another server had just dropped off our soups and we asked for our server so we could get the old and vinegar to go with the bread). When it was finally time to leave, our server FINALLY tried to strike up a conversation with us...on our way out the door. Nobody wants to talk to you about the weather after you've spent the past 30-40 minutes behaving like it's a hassle to serve them on a slow night. Who knows? Maybe being in our workout clothes wasn't reflective of the clientele they wish to serve, but I've walked by this establishment 2-3 times a day almost every day for more than a decade and seen plenty of people NOT turning up in their Sunday best. Who knows? Maybe we didn't have a big enough ticket for her to care about good customer service? Perhaps she could SENSE her tip would be generous, so why bother with good service? I tipped exactly 11% at the end of the meal and my friend was appalled. Being Black I felt the pressure to leave SOMEthing, even if it wasn't deserved, because I didn't want to contribute to her treating the next Black folks in her section some kind of way. All in all, I walked away happy we only spent $25 and realizing I'd have been better off getting a can of Campbell's Italian wedding soup, making my own spinach artichoke dip, and snagging some artisan ciabatta bread from the grocery store. Or just going to Arlin's for a burger and fries. Either way...meh.

I've eaten here a few times and each experience is different. Whether it be the taste of the food or the quality of the service. It all depends on who's cooking or the server you get. It's a quaint bistro and a great location, but people don't care about that. They want good food. The meals are cooked in front, not behind walls in a kitchen. That being said, they need to think about appearances. The "chef" uses the same pair of tongs for every dish!! Huge red flag for me as a former restaurant manager. Nothing is measured, so you might get a lot of mushrooms or garlic in one dish and not so much in another. Jugs of milk and cream are on the counter for the "Alfredo" and that isn't measured either. My biggest complaint is the Parmesan cheese that tops every dish. It's in a Kraft container with the label peeled off. The green cap is a dead give away...so not even fresh parm on the dishes. The food is decent, but the inconsistency makes it a restaurant I'll go to sporadically rather than regularly.

Went for dinner with my mother, amazing atmosphere, food, and service! Smaller menu but great options!! Highly recommend.

Food was amazing. Top notch service , extremely attentive.. Ambiance was intimate, old world.

We had a great meal at Biagio's Bistro last night. The portions were very large and the food was served hot. It was a very nice atmosphere for a Saturday night. We will return.

I used Yelp to find an Italian restaurant that I hadn't been to before, and I certainly agree with the numerous 5-star reviews. We chose to sit in the booth at the front, but there are two dining rooms, as well as high tops that look into the open kitchen, where the magic happens. We both started with a nice Caesar salad, although garlic croutons would have been a welcome replacement for the plain dried bread cubes. They were nicely crunchy, though. A plate of chewy Italian bread with butter (nicely soft) accompanied the meal. My date had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, with a cream-heavy sauce. I had the chicken scaloppini, which was nicely poached in a mushroom white wine sauce, served over fettuccine (homemade). We both took some home, so she could have crème brûlée, and I had limoncello torte. Both of us were happy with our choices from the well-stocked dessert cooler.

This was a fantastic little bistro we found in the Ludlow region of Cincinnati. While they have a more elaborate dinner menu we were there for lunch and while the menu is smaller there are still plenty of great options. We started with an appetizer of Artichoke Dip. It artichokes blended with garlic and topped with parmesan cheese. It is baked and served with pita pieces. It was one my favourite dips of it's kind that I've ever had and was a super delicious appetizer. For my main course I tried their Chicken Alfredo which was a basic version with fettuccine, chicken, with the cream sauce and of course topped with Parm. A very good version of Alfredo that was fairly easy on the wallet too. The restaurant was very spiffy looking; kind of smallish but very classy. Our service was excellent and when you put it all together it was a tremendous visit.

This place is fabulous ! Reminds me of being in Europe -food , ambience and service!! All wonderful!!! I always get the filet special and whatever pasta it comes with!

I wish this place was good. It's cute, they make their own pasta, and they cook it right there. Except it's not. We got the "most popular dish" which was essentially a carbonara of sorts. My husband got a seafood pasta. It was the very definition of meh. Pasta was no better than dried, sauce was lacking, seafood was murdered in the pan. Our bill was about $80 with tip and a drink apiece. I took mine home because it was expensive but it wasn't even worth eating the next day. I really wanted to like this place. Olive Garden would've been a better choice.

Food was incredible. Had the Shrimp Fettuccini but started with the Italian Wedding Soup. I love Italian wedding soup and this was one of the best ones I've ever had. The service was extremely attentive and personable. The restaurant was quiet and a good temperature. Amazing experience!

Delicious food! The friendliest staff. Generous portions. My first cannoli was amazing!!!

Everything here is top notch! Great food, great service and cozy ! Also the homemade desserts and to die for. Truly one of my go to's. You'll love it !

It's a nice looking place and it's bigger than I expected. It was odd because the guy doing the cooking took the first table, added an office chair, his laptop, half eaten banana, and several styrofoam cups, and sat there almost the entire time except when he had to get up to make our food. The service was good. The food reminded me of the pasta bar at the Marriot. Not terrible, but definitely not a $20 pasta dish. Especially since it was topped with the good Parmesan. You know, the one in the round canister with the green lid. Haha It's probably a good spot for neighborhood regulars but I wouldn't go out of my way again.

Food and service were both great. Our whole group was very happy with our pre-concert family dinner.

I cannot believe as often as I am in Clifton I just discovered this place. Very reasonable prices, Biagio does all the cooking and the barramundi was delicious. I will be back for sure!

Decent food, nothing outstanding in appetizers, entrees and desserts. Low rating due to v poor table service and v low energy of wait staff. (They kinda look miserable.) The collection of used dishes, glasses, empty bottles on the table when we finished was impressive! But not in a good way.

Lasagna (available on Fridays, not sure about other days) was delicious, cream of tomato soup was very tasty also. Chicken Alfredo was very good too.

The best local Italian I've had in a long time. I'm from here and our go-to has to be Biagio's Bistro for quiet, perfectly prepared pasta. Chef's Kiss!

Came here for my first date 5 years ago and just returned. The staff was incredible and the food was delicious. We enjoyed a chicken dish with a glass of wine and salad. We can tell the chef takes pride in his work due to the burst of various flavors in every bite. With the extra touch of freshly ground pepper and cheese, you cannot go wrong. We finished the night with an in house made banana cream pie which has turned into our new favorite dessert. Don't miss this place

The service was good, everyone was nice. I love that garlic dip. I like the chef cooking in front of the restaurant.

This restaurant seemed to be a re-creation of an Italian bistro in every way -- it has a limited menu, but what the restaurant offers, it excels at. The appetizer, an artichoke dip, was a tribute to Parmesan cheese and garlic. The tomato basil soup was exemplary -- so much that I was pretty full by the time the main dish arrived -- but definitely found room for it. All the pasta was home-made -- thick, fresh, and held the homemade sauce well. I had one of the daily specials -- fish and pasta -- and the fish was fresh and well-cooked. Plus a great intimate atmosphere. The service was excellent -- we were a large group and the waiters and waitresses went out of their way to help. All in all, a wonderful full dining experience!!

Huge portions, great food, and amazing prices...with bread and salad included (choice of Greek, Caesar or House). Great service, too. Classy clientele.

We tried this place in a Friday night and were expecting a wait, but even though it was busy we were able to get a table right away. Service was prompt and speedy. What I loved most about the experience was the restaurant ambiance! It felt very cozy and homey as if I were coming to a family dinner. I ordered the chicken scallopini and my fiancé ordered the pesto chicken pasta. Portion sizes were perfect and flavor was great! It was a fun bonus that we could watch Biagio cook our meals right next to us. Of course, we can't forget the wine or the desserts! There was a great selection of wine and pricing was incredibly reasonable - probably the cheapest glass in the city, but without sacrificing quality. We took dessert to go because we were too full at the end of our meals, but we couldn't pass up the dessert case all together. I got the cannoli and my fiancé got the chocolate cake. Both were amazing! The cannoli had a perfectly crispy shell with a slight cinnamon flavor and the filling was luscious and smooth. The chocolate cake was rich and dense - exactly what I want in a chocolate cake. All in all, I would definitely come back and will keep this in our regular rotation! The ONLY drawback is that parking is very difficult, but it's worth the struggle in my opinion.

Quaint and charming. Our table ordered a pasta dish, Greek salad, tilapia , and wedding soup. Food was delish. Atmosphere quaint and charming. Sam was our waiter and he was great ... all other employees were very attentive. Oh and the food all came out PIPING HOT and together ....

Wonderful homemade pasta dishes. In a cozy dining room. Watch as biagio cooks in the open kitchen. Terrific desserts as well

Fantastic Lunch. This was my second visit. I'm hooked. The tomato basil soup is to die for. We had the Chicken Scallopini. The portions are huge. And, absolutely delicious. There is definitely enough to enjoy again at home. Tiramisu for dessert was yummy and shareable. Last visit i had cannoli and would not share. Service was impeccable and friendly. I was just a very nice lunch.

Good great! Service slow but worth it. Be prepared to stay awhile. Great ambiance Aroma hits you when you walk in. Makes for a great evening but go when you have the time

It took me awhile to get here but a friend recommended it. He also said the pies were some of the best he'd ever had. Went here and it was not disappointed! I had the special the day which was a sea bass with gnocchi in a white sauce. Was very delicious! My friend had the pesto pasta which she said was okay. But I think this place still deserves five stars because my dish was amazing, the service was great, and overall the pies were some of the best I've ever had. Literally, the banana cream pie was the best. Sorry grandma, someone has a better pie than you. But that's okay because that just means the world keeps getting better! We went on a Wednesday night and it wasn't too busy. Overall it was very cute and romantic and definitely a place to go to again!

Ate here first the first time. Seated right away and we were given bread and ice water promptly. Olive oil for the bread would have been a nice touch especially being an Italian restaurant. Our server was good. Wine was very reasonably priced. We all had the Caesar salad with anchovies. I had the Branzino fish special. Over cooked and thin. Asked for lemon for the fish and got one slice. Not even a wedge! Pasta was not seasoned at all. My husband liked the chicken scalloping with vegetables instead of pasta. He liked it. Restaurant filled up after we arrived. They take reservations. We took cannolis home they were delicious.

Good Italian. Housemade pasta. Quick and friendly service! Have been several times. The chicken Alfredo is always a winner. As is the Penne. Portions are huge, so bring your appetite or prepare to take some home.

It is a great authentic Italian bistro. Everything was delicious! We had Artichoke dip for appetizer - full of flavor Entrees come with soup or salad. I chose Greek salad - another good choice. My choice of entree was Chicken Scallopini in the picture. I love capers and it got lots of caper in on top of chicken and mushrooms. They've got good selections of dessert that we were torn to choose what to get even we were so full. We had to try at least one. Our choice was Tiramisu and we chose wisely! This place may not look all so fancy but the service and the food was absolutely 5- !

Cozy and enjoyable spot for lunch with a friend. Very fresh salad and bread to start. I had the chicken Alfredo, and it was delicious - very rich, noodles were cooked perfectly. Service was attentive and friendly. They had some very tempting desserts in the case upfront - I look forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu.

We came for dinner before going to Clifton Performance Theatre. You could pass by the outside if you didn't know it was here. The interior is nice and simple. Loved rewarding the history of the restaurant. My husband got the salad with shrimp on it. The shrimp was prepared perfectly - not too much oil. Our son got a Caesar salad - he liked a lot and a tuna sandwich. I was shocked about the sandwich since he loves Italian food. I got the tilapia dinner that comes with a salad. The house salad was great and I got the dressing on the side. Their garlic dressing is made in house - you can tell. They should sell it! It's great!! The tilapia is pan seared - cooked very well with vegetables and then home-made fettuccini. The dinner made 3 meals. The pasta was great. But, too much oil!!! That's why the 4/5

Got their artichoke dip, tomato soup and chicken Alfredo. Artichoke dip was a bit garlicky but tasty... I wouldn't get the chicken as I think it was thighs and I think breast should be used. The bread is not warm but soft and stuffy. My server Maryann was amazing and kind. Her presence was lovely and we had a nice brief chat.

Biagio's is my go to when I want some authentic Italian cuisine. I've been countless times and have never been disappointed. ALWAYS be sure to check and see what the special is. You've got a life long customer here.

After receiving a recommendation and checking out the reviews, I was excited to try Biago's Bistro. We stopped in on a Monday night after seeing a movie. We each ordered a salad- House and Caesar, and a pasta entree- Shrimp Alfredo and Chicken Scallopini. The actual pasta in the dish was fresh and had great texture. Portions were large and the service was fine. The proteins (shrimp and chicken) were not seasoned at all, however were cooked well. The sauce in both of the dishes was severely under seasoned- almost as if there was no salt at all, and the salt and pepper at the table did not assist much (pepper was stale and had zero flavor). The salads were sad (mine had a random string in it and a few tomato stems) and the bread was stale. I would have asked for additional parm or fresh ground pepper however I overheard the chef intimidating the wait staff and threatening the servers that he would scream at them during the dinner if anyone complained. The price point is comparable to other 4-5 star Italian places with none of the ambience, quality, or care. This place strikes me as something that was really special and has lost its touch.

Ate here on Friday nite with a group of 9. Not a large restaurant, but they accommodated our group well in the back part of the restaurant. The kitchen is right there and visible to most patrons, so you can see your meal being cooked. We had some artichoke dip with pita for the table. I had a salad, some chicken vegetable soup and for an entree the tilapia with pasta. And tiramisu and capuccino for dessert. Portion sizes were generous and everything tasted great .The soup was the only miss--about half a bowl and too much broth--I wouldn't have even guessed what type of soup it was. But everything else was great. There was one minor glitch with my entree which was quickly corrected and apologies issued. Service was good. Prices are reasonable here for what you get. Ambiance is friendly. One of Clifton's gems and conveniently located. On street parking is available and there is also a lot about a block away behind the firehouse.

Delicious! (As always) The best Italian restaurant in the Greater Cincinnati area. Check it out!

We were seated immediately and someone brought water and bread as shortly after. menus were shared and our waiter also asked if we would like to eat our meal family style and brought xtra plates for sharing. Very attentive service and friendly. Generous portions of delicious food- yummy! Only thing I would note is that the women's bathroom needs lighting- looks like they were doing some minor construction repairs. Would definitely come back!

Biagios is a small hidden gem in Clifton. It's an Italian restaurant with a family feel to it. We have been there numerous times. It is one of the top places I recommend when people are visiting Cincinnati. Biagio (owner) cooks the food in an open layout so you can watch him cook. The service is great and the food is fantastic! The daily special changes but is always the best whether it includes sea bass, steak, etc. I highly recommend it! It is a smaller restaurant so I would look at 8 or less people as a group. Recently, I had the petite filets special! So good!

Biagio's Bistro is one of my absolite favorite places to dine in Cincinnati. The sweet aroma of garlic fills the air, and if you pick a table close to the kitchen, you can watch your food being prepared. My go-to dish is the pesto pasta with chicken. Yum! It also reheats very well if you take home some leftovers. The Italian Wedding soup is excellent as a starter, though I'm partial to the Caesar salad. My husband has tried everything from the homemade baked lasagna to the Chicken Alfredo, and he is always pleased with his choice. Make sure you leave room for dessert, or at least take some home for later. Biagio's Balla -- cream puffs covered in chocolate -- are a must! Bon appetit!

I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered here. My go to is pesto pasta and I don't care for pesto anywhere else. The lasagna on the weekends is out of this world, they almost always run out. I always get the greek salad and either the cannoli or cream puffs. The portions are large and the service is exceptional!

Homemade everything. Taste homemade at least. The pasta taste like non gmo pasta raised in a two parent household, not like that store bought pasta raised on government cheese and tap water. Get the artichoke dip. It's the best artichoke dip in the city. I vouch for this like I vouch for Voss water. You won't be disappointed. Everybody I take here, LOVES the artichoke dip. Parking is a bih... I mean... it is Clifton. Oh well... what'd ya expect. But the food... chefs kids.. finish the meal off with some dessert. It's a wide variety. But I suggest the Oreo creme pie. It's heavenly. The chef is amazing. He's so welcoming and personable. This is a little mom and pop spot. Dining in is a whole vibe. Go here!

Quaint space with friendly staff. Plentiful portions and homemade-tasting pasta. The artichoke dip was unreal, though a couple pasta dishes were a little shy on overall flavor.

I love this place. The food is always great. The ambiance is low on key. The service is always attentive.

This is a great old school Italian restaurant. The food was fresh and full of flavor. The only problem was the filets were over cooked, but otherwise it was good. The artichoke dip was delicious, but only if you like garlic (which I do). We had a large group of 10 and the staff was very attentive and friendly. Even though we didn't have a direct sight line to see the chef cooking there were mirrors so we could still see him. This is a great place to go for traditional Italian food.

I really wanted to give it 5 stars and I thought it was going to be a slam dunk when I walked in. There is a lovely buzz in the dining room, it has a hole in the wall sort of look when you walk in, and additionally they cook in front of you which I loved. Its classic italian food which is made fresh and prepared/finished on burners directly facing the dining room. My one complaint was both pasta dishes my wife and I ordered were quite underseasoned. We both found the dishes quite bland until we added some salt and pepper which helped immensely. Service was fantastic, and I think it was very reasonably priced as well Certainly since we visit ludlow frequently we will be back
