Adriaticos

I. Love. Adriatico's. I live out in the burbs and I will gladly drive down to Clifton for this delicious food anytime!  

First, they have like 40 beers on tap which you just can't beat with a stick.  So many options, such a big beer belly in my future.  Then there's the food.  We have had both their pizza and my beloved Zoni.  Their meatball Zoni is outta this world good!  We also tried the fried pickles on our last visit which I have never had before- I'm a fan.

Service has been hit or miss for us, the first time the place was absolutely packed and we had great service.  The second time, we were one of maybe 5 or so tables at 10:30 or so and the food took forever to come out and when it did it was lukewarm.  They heated it up for us and it was fine but we were a little disappointed on that particular evening.

Parking can be a pain if you are there during their dinner rush so plan for a few extra minutes of driving around to find a spot on the street.

Overall- this place is one of my favorites!

I really am a fan of Adriatico's pizza.  I have constantly said that Cincinnati is really lacking good pizza, but Adriatico's was a nice surprise.  I know it's been a UC staple forever but for some reason, I only recently tried it.  What's even better is their beer selection!  I love being able to have great craft beer with my pizza and I can do that at Adriatico's.  I always make my own pizza with the Sicilian crust, sausage, banana peppers, green peppers and olives....yum!  As for the service, it is slower but we're never in a hurry when we go so we don't mind it too much.

Best pizza and zoni's in town. That's why I drive 45 minutes to pickup pizza every two weeks.
