I am a sucker for up-and-coming, artsy-fartsy neighborhoods and Over-the-Rhine is one of them! I mean, who doesn’t love a place that serves growlers from a curbside window and has murals on every corner?

Serving locally sourced ingredients, A Tavola is a staple in the Over-the-Rhine district in downtown Cincinnati. The restaurant is most widely known for signature pizzas, hand-crafted cocktails and its famous homemade gelato. I order the bacon tapenade to start loaded with savory bacon, goats cheese and parmesan. My second course includes the delectable asparagus salad packed with flavor and topped with pinenuts, crispy prosciutto and a lemon vinaigrette (pictured above). My friends and I share a scoop of the dark chocolate brownie gelato. Smooth and creamy, the gelato is a decadent ending to our meal.

A Tavola is the perfect spot for a pint after work or dining with friends. The restaurant includes an extensive draft list and impressive cocktails. The staff is exceptionally friendly and the atmosphere is exceptionally cool.

Cheers!
