• Pizzeria • Bellevue
Booked 6 times today
The Cork N Crust Pizzeria and Wine bar is located in the Bellevue Entertainment District close to cute shops, pubs, and restaurants. There are umbrella tables out front for outdoor dining as well as cozy couches on the back patio...the perfect spot to enjoy the "Big Reds" or one of the other wine flights, a charcuterie board, and our Chef's Famous Mozzarella. Recognized as one of the top 10 new Cincinnati restaurants by CityBeat readers...Cork N Crust features over 20 wines available by the glass, a great selection of wines from all over the world, and a full bar. The Crust Old Fashioned is a local favorite, and the "Cork's Coolers" are perfect on a warm day. The Specialty Pizzas are the main attraction...the "best" is a matter of opinion, but the "Bellevue" and "The "Chardonnay" run head to head each week to be the top seller. The Cork N Crust also has a Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten Free Menu.

• Mediterranean • Cincinnati
Booked 17 times today
The Aperture, the first full-scale restaurant project from Chef Jordan Anthony-Brown. The menu reflects the concept of Mediterranean mezze style dining, consisting of many small plates, rustic in nature and reflective of seasonality and creates a natural progression and flow for the dining experience. The Aperture’s menu reflects three fundamental tenets: intention, balance, and focus. The menu - and its individual dishes - are approached with the objective of putting critical thought into every component, eliminating the extraneous, and ensuring a natural flow across the menu. The culinary program is heavily influenced by the cuisine of the broader Mediterranean region and the simple, seasonal cooking of Southern France, Italy, Greece, and the Levant.Our menu changes often and with the seasons. You can always find our current menu on our website www.theaperturecinci.com.

    Everything was top notch. These folks know what they’re doing and are exceptionally fantastic at it! The valet attendants and hosts were very professional and friendly. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, personable and a true pro! Everyone seemed to be working together to create a fantastic experience for us! The food was truly exceptional! A lot of love,artistry and expertise went into each dish. We were celebrating an anniversary and what a memorable celebration it was!!! We’ll definitely be recommending Boca to folks.Cincinnati really has a true gem downtown. There’s definitely a reason why reservations are needed. Cheers!!

    Everything there was great. The food, the staff and the atmosphere. We had been told by multiple people of how great the food was and ie did not disappoint. All of our questions were answered and we were able to taste a few wines before we decided on one. The portions were perfect and we all really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

    Like always, it was amazing. Celebrated 3 birthdays, other than the fact I didn't get a dessert since you no longer have a gluten-free baker, my family enjoyed it as well.
