    Fleischpflanzerl & spaetzle with a side of mustard
    Kimberly C.

    What to say first....Let's start with the friendly faces that greet you as you enter this fabulous eatery. Every single person is as kind and helpful as the next. They are also kind to one another! You'll order at the counter by the menu board. They'll give you a number, ask if you're dining inside or out, and you find yourself some seating. Easy peasy. Oh, and if you fancy a beer, try the Veltins Pilsner --I typically do not even like beer, but this one goes down smooth! Next--the food. It's all delicious, but you'll definitely want try the goulash or bavarian fleischpflanzerl, whenever they run it as a special. And their spaetzle is, by far, the best I've ever tasted, which pairs beautifully with the jäegerschnitzel!!! Yum! Please do not forget to leave some room (or take home) for dessert. Bienenstich cake (bee sting cake) is filled with a splendid custard filling and topped with a layer of candied almonds. Pairs wonderfully with coffee. Join them for brunch on Sunday from 11-4pm and listen to some live music (not sure if they have it every Sunday?). The best omelet and kaiserschmarrn (big enough to split between two peeps!) And I've been able to find some of their events and specials listed on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/kantinebiergarten?igsh=c3V3a2ZqandmeDdn

    Schnitzel Weiner Art, with buttered spätzle instead of potato salad.
    Tara R.

    This was a great find for a recent Saturday lunch. It was a warm day for April and it was pretty warm inside, but luckily we got a picnic table in the shade right out front. There seemed to be just one front of house person taking orders and pouring drinks, so there was a bit of a wait to order. They were unfortunately out of the cheese/onion spätzle so my fiance ordered currywurst instead. The rest of us ordered schnitzel with buttered spätzle. When the plates were set down, my finance immediately said he had plate envy. The schnitzels were huge and amazing. The buttered spätzle was the best I've had locally, both in texture and taste. The pork was pounded thin and fried but remained so tender and juicy. The currywurst was a bit of a let down for my finance. He said it seemed like regular wursts, with regular ketchup and some curry powder sprinkled on top. There was also not much ketchup. Maybe we are just used to Germany where they are swimming in a curry ketchup. The potatoes were great however. Overall, I would definitely recommend Kantine and hope to be back when they have the spätzle with onions and cheese.

    Sweet Pancakes

    The people here are very kind. I came in for Easter and they were short-staffed due to call outs. We reserved a table for Easter. The food was good and the drinks were poured heavy. I got the sweet pancakes which had nutella, bananas inside, and strawberry outside. They taste like crepes. The environment is family friendly. When you get drinks you have to individually pick them up, but they bring the food to you. I would definitely come back and try the Avocado Tomato Egg sandwich. I got to try some of it and it was great.

    Draft German beer.

    My wife and I went on an underground tour of Cincinnati and learned about the German beer making history of the city. One question I asked was - Is there a decent German restaurant left in town? The Guide recommended Kantine Biergarten and I am so glad he did. After the tour, we drove to the restaurant for lunch. Great schnitzel and great draft beer. I was so happy to finally find a good German restaurant to carry on the heritage of Cincinnati. We will definitely be back. I apologize to the owners for the picture of my food. But, maybe it is the highest compliment I can give,

    Delicious German food & good beer tucked away in a quiet corner near Union Station. Indoor and outdoor seating. (Psst they have German Cake too)

    This place was a fabulous place to host a birthday party!! The staff were accommodating and friendly. Everyone loved their food and had a great time. I highly recommend coming here for a private party or with a big group.

    A warehouse converted into a cozy restaurant. Mostly German fare. Our group from the Y did a special Friday addition, so we could try the place. You place your order at the counter, and then they bring the food out to you. Everyone in the group liked their food.

    German mett, sauerkraut and roasted potatoes
    Donna W.

    What a hidden gem. Very unique atmosphere, seating inside and out. Seven of use went to lunch, you order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. Between the 7 of use we had a bit of everything and it was very tasty. Not a real extensive menu but authentic German food along with a large array of German beer on tap

    Very authentic German food and beer. The owner speaks primarily German but he can get by with his English.

    Inside is nice, tan and green and modern aesthetic…read more Waiter/tress was very nice. Attentive and ensured all was good for us. Garlic knots were incredible. 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. Highly highly recommend!!

    The homemade pasta was amazing. I appreciate the fact the put our Caesar salad on two plates plates…read morewhen we noted we wanted to "split" a salad. 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.

    We have been wanting to try Saint Francis Apizza for quite some time. We finally got that chance…read morelast night. It was amazing! The flavor of the pizza is so good. I don't really have words to describe it. They only have one size pizza and, at first, I thought it was huge. However, the flavor was so amazing I kept wanting more. Hubs and I did a half and half pizza. His half was the Alms Park and my half was bacon and pineapple. I probably could have eaten a whole pizza by myself. The blend of cheeses and their sauce - so stinking good. We also got a house salad to split. Being that this was to go - they gave us the main salad in one container with their house made croutons in a separate container and their house made vinaigrette in a separate container - it keeps everything fresh and crisp! The croutons were so delicious and fresh! On top of that, the vinaigrette was amazing. We both fell in love with it. We walked in and ordered instead of placing online or calling. The service was AMAZING! We decided to wait in our car and they walked it out to us! They were amazingly friendly and wonderful. Their pizza isn't the cheapest pizza around but it was worth the money we spent. This won't be an every week visit, but definitely a new favorite. While this location is carry-out only, it was very welcoming. They also sell bottles of wine and had signs talking about them. It was a very neat little local place. I'd like to actually try their new location where we can eat in! Do yourself a favor and try this place.

    Delish! Best pizza I've had in a long time. Guy working was super nice and pizza was done within…read more$20 minutes. Vibe of the place is very small and quick. Would 100% recommend getting the Fancy white pizza. Comes with extra basil too. I ordered my crust to be extra well done. Pizzas come in one size only.

    Il Gusto is not only one of THE best hole in the wall restaurants, it is also THE best Italian…read morewe've had in the area! Though spartan, the classic vibes and service are very welcoming! We had better service here than most "normal" sit down restaurants. And the food...not one item we have tried was bad, the vast majority have been the best in their category. Best mozzarella sticks: it's obvious it's a higher quality mozz than whatever everyone else uses. Crispy perfection! Best GF/cauliflower pizza: lots of toppings to choose from (though somehow chicken isn't an option on DD) and again, from the mushrooms to the sauce, you can taste the difference. They make the sauces in house! According to my husband, best Chicken Parm he has had since moving here! You get a healthy portion. And...best cannoli in the area! Growing up in a predominantly Italian and Polish area, I have been lucky to have REALLY good Italian pastries...and their cannoli was reminiscent of those times. This has been the ONLY cannoli in the greater Cincy area that is worth consuming, IMO. All in all, we would dine in at Il Gusto constantly, if we lived closer. Glad they're on DoorDash though! If you are in the Kenwood area, and want a break from the chaos and crowds, Il Gusto is close by!

    For such an unknown pizza place I have to say I was kinda blown away at how good and classic…read moreItalian style this pizza was. I'm normally just a cheese pizza guy but I will be back to try more specialty pies.

I was greeted quickly and while looking at the rotating menu board behind the counter and trying to decide. I was directed to the menu laminated on the counter. Duh! even though I was alone I got a small meat lovers pizza and sat out back. The back was like a fenced in backyard with tables and umbrellas. When the guy brought my (great tasting) pizza out he told me to turn on the fans and basically make myself at home (my words, I was the only one there). I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Laid back, relaxed and they even have a bourbon bar upstairs. How can you beat that. When I'm in town next year, I'll have to check them out again. You should too!

    This is a review on the food that was ordered while we were at the speakeasy above the pizzeria…read more We ordered a caprese salad and the Vinny pie while upstairs at the speakeasy on a slow Thursday afternoon. The gentleman who brought us our caprese salad, didn't directly say anything to us, but instead spoke only to the bartender (as he placed the salad in front of us) and told him not to place any more orders for caprese. He seemed inconvenienced by our order and more interested in his smoke break. We were surprised at the presentation and at the lack of flavor but assumed that the pizza would be amazing! based on what we had read and heard - but were incredibly disappointed. The pizza was flavorless and Incredibly greasy. Our impression is that this must be a great location for college students or those who have enjoyed their drinking experience and need some grease to sober them up and don't mind what they are eating. We were very let down in our experience and the lack of professionalism from the employee who seemed to think that since he was in the speakeasy, he didn't need to be professional.
