Authentic Italian food using the freshest premium ingredients. I had the Bolognese served with Tagliatelle. Bolognese was cooked for hours, meats flavored the sauce, wonderful. My son had the Tirolese, mushroom ravioli in a cheese bechamel sauce. Also, simple and delicious flavors. Service was excellent. Cozy place for lunch or a romantic dinner. We took some pastries home. Thank you Michelle for making my son's birthday special. We will be coming back soon. read more

Cute, nice setting, great location, food is good, service is very friendly, TERRIBLY OVERPRICED.

VV The Italian Experience was such a treat. The food was so delicious and fresh. We started with Italian hot chocolates, and they were rich and indulgent. My friends ordered the bolognese and I ordered the Lucia. The bolognese was so delicious with fresh noodles and a flavorful sauce--a beautiful classic dish. The Lucia was a delicious salad with so many well-thought out components giving depth, texture, and flavor. I loved the sweetness from the balsamic, figs, and melon; the saltiness of the prosciutto and Parmesan, and freshness of the arugula, etc...our server was so sweet and did an excellent job. It was such a cute place and very family friendly (they had a changing table in the bathroom). I would happily come back and hope to soon! read more

This restaurant is quite nice inside and out. The staff is very friendly and the food is good. It can get packed at lunchtime so plan ahead.

Most authentic Italian experience I've had in Cincy. Excellent coffee, food, and staff. Can't recommend this place enough.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Latte and cornetto were amazing. The place itself is beautifully decorated and has such a friendly / fun vibe to it. It's family friendly in the morning. Not a ton of seating but the place isn't intimidating to bring small children. The owner and staff were all extremely friendly. Highly recommend and will be going back frequently! read more

The food was so good and the service made the experience even better. I want to come back to sample dinner dishes and more pastries! Highly recommend! read more

An amazing experience! Reminds of the times I have spent in Bari, Italy with my family. The cornetto was spot on and the cappuccino was also simply perfect. A new spot for me to get my true Italian experience. The paninis looked amazing and the rest of the pasteries all looked authentically Italian and amazing. Can't wait to try it again and help them with their journey to make authentic Bari style panzerotti! Love this place. Great people. Great foods and the best true Italian experience that you can find in the area! read more

Ya gotta check this place out. Had the pistachio late.. top 5 coffee all time for me. 10/10 would recommend

Hubby and I were looking for the healthiest brunch we could find in this side of town . This resto is a no - nonsense , claim to be, but a Truly Authentic Italian Resto at its core! Love the Lucia salad ! The admixture of cantaloupe, hearts of palm and prosciutto is such a hearty-healthy, tasty brunch...The thoughtfully added pesto on the side is amazingly delish ! The custard cornetto does an ample amount of justice to what I used to longingly savor on the streets of Rome! Service is fast, efficient , and brisk! Ambience is loaded with Italian hospitality! You get in the bakery with a warm greetings from the gentleman on the cashier area. Resto is spacious and well ventilated. Lady on my side speaks perfect Italian. The Italian locals know where the authentic resto of their place is . This validates my hunch that this place is the real Italian powerhouse of the much touted artisanal, healthiest Mediterranean cuisine! Bon giorno! Mangiamo! read more

VV The Italian Experience - Lucia ! Delish! An appropdiate tribute to the healthy meditteranean diet! - Italian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This place was so fun! It absolutely resembles what you'd see on the streets of Italy (it had me reminiscing on my trip to Florence...). The atmosphere is lively and inviting - we went in the first few days open, so there were lots of excited people there which was fun to see. The service was friendly, drinks were incredible, and the food was good but moreso a snack vs a full meal. This is a great place to check out for a snack and some drinks, but maybe not necessarily a super filling meal. I do recommend!! read more

What a great little spot to grab a glass of wine and light lunch! My friend and I stumbled upon VV and loved it! The staff were super friendly and helpful and the menu transported us to Italy. The salad, sandwich and pasta selection has something for everyone. We ate the caprese to start and had the Napoletana pasta which tasted like a Nona would make. I love everything about this place and will come back! read more

Great food. Can be noisy if a group walks into the bakery, but worth the experience. Looking forward to going back.

Excellent atmosphere once you step in to this cafe/bakery. You feel like you are in an Italian coffee shop. Excellent coffee drink options that are high quality. The cornetto options are all filled with Nutella jam or pistachios past. Yummy. So many other jam filled pastries and cheesecake. It isa relaxed atmosphere. Almost like a hangout get together coffee shop like in Europe. It was fairly busy on a Sunday morning with customers of all ages including kids. Service is excellent. Wait time not too long for the drinks. Cashier very informative. read more

Lovely addition to Mt. Lookout Square. The owner is (I've heard) from Lecce in the south of Italy. In any event, the place has a cozy, yet stylish ambiance. Great baked goods and coffee for breakfasts. Some savory lunch dishes. Service is very welcoming. read more

What a wonderful place! We made a reservation and upon arrival Melissa greeted me by name and instantly made us feel welcomed. We were interested in buying a candle after dinner and Melissa kindly brought out all the available scents for us to choose from. She was so helpful and sweet!

Great service, but even better food and drink. I got the lasagna and I'd order it every time again. Just because the main entree dinner food menu is smaller, don't let it scare you - everything is still delicious. read more

This is the most amazing, authentic, Italian, food I have ever imagined possible, short of traveling to Italy. Here is where the finest quality of ingredients meet creativity and ambiance to hand craft the perfect experience. I had the lasagna and tasted several deserts. I know that I will be driving the six hour journey to visit here again and again. The only reason not to make a reservation here, is so I can have your table. read more

The best Italian food I've ever had. Personable service with great attentiveness to detail. A comfortable, quaint, yet contemporary atmosphere. The food is delicious and is an experience, tiramisu is amazing and will make you a fan of it if you're not already. Lasagna and caprese w/ imported buffalo mozz are stellar. I will be back hungry for more read more

V V, The Italian Experience could not be a more appropriate name. From the time we made the reservation with Francesca, to the experience we had with our server Christian, the other servers that were constantly checking on us, and the owners Andrea and Melissa, we could not have been more impressed. The food (Pasta Bolognese, Pasta Genovese, O Sole Mio Panini) was outstanding, as were the drinks (Limoncello Spritzers and wine) and desserts (Sorbet and Cornettos). My family is blessed to have our extended family in Italy, with several cousins operating restaurants along the Amalfi Coast. We had the pleasure of visiting with them last year. As we compare the experiences we had in Italy to those that we had at V V, it's amazing how they parallel each other, even feeling part of their family. Only thing missing was the sea. Will definitely come back to experience breakfast and lunch, and of course, dinner again. As we were leaving, Andrea repeated our names to us and said "I'll remember you". Andrea, we will remember you, Melissa and V V, The Italian Experience too. See you soon! read more
