We had an awesome time! Juli was a wonderful server, she was so nice and funny, our kind of people! The table side pasta cooked in a Parmesan wheel was really why we came, it was fun and delicious, the young man who made it was really nice as well. The salads were unique, the chickpea was amazing. We got some proteins to go with the pasta, they were amazing. The steak was different, rolled and sliced. Meatballs were a favorite! One in our party got the spaghetti and enjoyed it as well. Overall we had such a nice time! It was definitely a special occasion spot due to , but we only spent about 70 a person starters to tip. Thank you for an awesome experience! I took a little video of their bathroom because it was adorable!

Excellent service, everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere is beyond inviting. The owner Gio, greeted our table and gave background on the menu, he made our experience even better than what we imagined. The food is hands down the best Italian food outside of Italy that I have ever tasted. Ottimo Lavoro, Al Posto family!

The atmosphere and food were amazing. Our waiter Charles was top notch. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The entire staff made the dining experience so enjoyable. I ordered the Garlic Shrimp Diavolo with Linguini. I almost fell out of my chair after that first bite it was so good. Can’t wait to go back!

Our dining experience was absolutely amazing, from the service and ambiance to the staff and cuisine. Everything was just perfect. The location is beautifully set in the heart of Hyde Park! We started with mocktails, which was great since we don't drink alcohol. For appetizers, we had Fughi Frutti (fried mushrooms) and Burrata (bread with a delicious cheese spread). For the entree, we enjoyed Cacio for two (pasta served in a Parmesan cheese wheel for two) , and for dessert, we had an unexpectedly delightful cheesecake. The manager personally served us the pasta from the cheese wheel, which made the experience even more special. We will definitely be dining here again. Thank you so much for your exceptional service.

This was the best food I’ve had in awhile. The portions may not be huge but very filling with how rich all the food is. We ended up getting the pasta made table side in the cheese wheel. It was ok but adding in the ribeye and grit platter with that flavorful au ju added in and the focaccia to soak up the rest was delightful. We will definitely be back for the next birthday dinner.

I had a very good experience here. Plenty of light and music with more positive energy sets it apart from most other places with dim lighting and "chill" music. I would think the atmosphere may change after sunset though. Food was also good with attention to texture and overall well seasoned without being too salty.

We were looking to for a new place to go for my birthday and they had an open reservation. We put a detail in to get us a table away from the door because of the cold. Not only did they get us the table almost farthest away from the door, but they had a toast for us because of my birthday—on the house. The service was incredible. The food may be even better. We have some great Italian places in Cincinnati and I feel like this one definitely joins the ranks in my book. A and we will be back.
