    I'm not at all clear why Pompilio's has such a good reputation when other, better Italian restaurants are all around the area. Penne Pasta was over cooked. The tomato vodka sauce was pretty much tasteless. And what is up with serving something like Wonder bread with little plastic tubs of butter-like substance? Do we think crusty Italian bread leaves too many crumbs to clean? Service was fine, though not sharp. Overall: Meh.

    Although the food was worth the price, and the servers were very friendly , the tables were set up for little kids with crayons. Paper tablecloths ?? The paper was even frayed and turned way up on the corners. Will not go there after a nice event again.

    I was first aware of Pompilio's because of Taste of Cincinnati. The risotto balls were so delicious that I thought about them for weeks after the event. When the opportunity arose to need a restaurant for a friends' outing, Pompilio's was my first choice. The food was really good, but honestly, I enjoyed the appetizers and desserts more than the entrees.

    Good food and service. Addition of a dessert and coffee, espresso etc. would be nice. At least a verbal recognition of a party members birthday would have been nice since that was indicated on the reservation.

    I was looking for a nice, decent, authentic Italian restaurant to take a date to. I found this place on a search engine. During the search, the engine gave the most popular times right around when I wanted to go. I noticed on the restaurant's website that you could make a reservation on open table. I've never used open table, but was familiar with it. So I made the reservation and a confirmation was sent to me which I appreciated.

    We made Pompilios a special stop on our way home from vacation. Parking was very limited, but that small inconvenience was worth it! Both of our meals were delicious! Be ready for amazing flavors, homemade pasta and huge portions. We opted to try the tiramisu for dessert, what a perfect ending!
