Hey Cincinnati! What local restaurants would you drive down from Dayton for?

Sigh...we've still been so busy that it's tough to get away. But, as the winter (slowly...) melts away, we'll head on out! Will keep you posted!

Scotti's, on Vine Street. Incomparable.

I personally like Via Vite and Cadillac Ranch by Fountain Square.

I really enjoy Grand Finale and Barresis. Here are the links:

The Grand Finale Restaurant - Cincinnati, Ohio

Barresi's Italian Restaurant // Home Page

For less expensive eats I'd recommend:

Blue Ash Chili - for double deckers

Graeters - for old-fashioned handmade ice cream

Village Kitchen on Wooster - it reminds me of my Grandma's cooking/kitchen

Rileys in Greenhills - nice family restaurant

Skyline Chili - great, but unusual, cheese coneys and three ways

Toots on Montgomery - a quirky place that serves fried pickles

Silver Wok on Kenwood - a seven table, family owned, Chinese joint

Echo on Edwards - no frills, just great food

Arthur's on Edwards - good food w/Graeter's right around the corner


I hope you get to sample some of these local favorites. Happy eating!

We haven't eaten at Scotti's in years (since the parents died)

Is it still good? If so, I'd go there again

I wouldn't go to The Vineyard in Hyde Park. Way too expensive. Four of us ate there last week. We had a 50.00 gift certificate and it was 1/2 price wine night.

Bill was still almost 200.00 (170 something)

Nothing ever compares to the Grand Finale in Glendale for me.

I agree, I'm going there on Thursday. I'm anxiously anticipating it.

BTW, they have a new summer menu deal. Two lunch entrees and desserts foo $20.00 or two dinner entrees and desserts for $35.00. Check out their website for the entree choices.
