Over the last year, the Greater Cincinnati area welcomed a lot of new and exciting restaurant and bar concepts to the local dining scene. From popular chains expanding to the Tri-State to newcomers with offerings ranging from authentic Italian to fresh seafood and oysters, and bars and breweries with unique, fantastical concepts, here is just a sampling of the new restaurants that opened in 2023.

Razzo 1201 Broadway St., Over-the-Rhine Pendleton welcomed a new pizza and natural wine bar in the former Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey space this October. Razzo, which means “rocket” in Italian, is owned by Michael Guilfoil and Christy Wulfson, the team behind Bar Saeso and the Airbnb The Carriage House. Wulfson and Guilfoil created a cozy, neon-lit space with a bar, dining room and patio. The Italian menu, featuring Roman-inspired pizzas (a pan-baked version known for its rectangular slices and interesting toppings) and natural wines by the glass, plays into the Italianate architecture around Pendleton and the neighborhood’s European feel, as well as the team’s personal love of Rome. You’ll also find various pasta dishes on the menu and gelato for dessert. Photo: Hatsue Andrews/@byhatsue/Provided by Razzo
Atwood Oyster House 1220 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine Atwood Oyster House opened in November in the former PearlStar location. Featuring a menu focused on oysters and seasonal seafood, Atwood is helmed by executive chef Seth Ridgill, who most recently worked under chef Hideki Harada at Kiki College Hill, and pastry chef Kayla Hunley, formerly of Pleasantry. Ridgill’s menu is playful but elegant, characterized by a Southern accent and rooted in French technique. Hunley, meanwhile, is behind the restaurant’s full dessert menu and also collaborates with Ridgill to introduce creative concepts to the savory side of the menu. Atwood also has a full bar, which serves a diverse menu of classic and creative house cocktails. The wine list features 16 wines by the glass and 80 bottles, all of which were selected to complement the restaurant’s seafood and vegetarian dishes. Photo: instagram.com/@atwoodoysterhouse
Second Story 100 W. Sixth St., #2, Covington Covington’s Second Story bar, the latest vision from Lost Co., is an artistic, Southern Gothic oasis for every sort of reveler. Like its sister bars Somerset and Alice in Over-the-Rhine, Second Story leans into Lost Co.’s fanciful designs and concepts. The bar’s main space is a large room with stylish and comfortable seating, dazzling chandeliers and hand-painted murals, complemented by large windows. It also brings some garden vibes indoors, featuring a giant artist-created tree “growing” behind the bar that houses bottles of spirits. Second Story also treats its cocktail menu like a conduit between the bar’s three pillars — conversation, art and music — to make all three work together. On the menu, patrons will find cocktails with a variety of bases, not leaning on any one spirit too much. Drinks are made with housemade syrups and housemade tonic and feature amari, which are herbal liqueurs that typically come from Italy and France. There’s even a housemade version of “Fireball” cinnamon whiskey. And like the views through the windows in the main space, the cocktail menu will change seasonally, offering guests fresh experiences with multiple visits. Photo: Courtesy of Second Story
Golden State Tacos 704 Wooster Pike, Terrace Park Think fresh and juicy produce, laid-back vibes, “sensational” margaritas — and octopus. That’s just a dash of what you’ll find at Golden State Tacos, a new Terrace Park restaurant that’s serving California-Mexican cuisine in an inviting, neighborhood atmosphere. Co-owner Daniel Wright says Golden State Tacos is a casual, family-friendly restaurant with a “fun and bright” menu that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That fun and bright menu features various takes on Southern California staples like fish tacos, fresh and crunchy salads, hand-squeezed juice, esquites (street corn), nachos and carne asada. And while the adult menu will satisfy parents, Golden State Tacos also offers a kids’ menu for the little ones, and the retro Spartanette camper on the patio will soon offer s’more kits for kids (and perhaps nostalgic adults as well).

Alive & Well 3410 Telford St., Clifton Spirit-forward cocktail bar Alive & Well opened in Clifton’s Gaslight District in August. Owner Andrew Salzbrun says the bar provides an “out of the norm” Ludlow experience, blending the grandeur of the building’s historic Art Deco façade with a punk-rock ambiance. The drink menu features a curated selection of top-quality spirits, as well as cocktails and wines. Salzbrun says the bar is also partnering with other neighborhood establishments, like Two Seven Two Bakery, Graeter’s, Silverglades and Al’s Delicious Popcorn to offer a snack menu.

Baru 595 Race St., Downtown This elevated sushi and cocktail concept places most of its focus on its atmosphere and unique menu, all centered around its bar, which has been strategically placed to be the focal point of the restaurant. The idea behind Baru is stay-and-drink sushi, inspired by izakaya, which are beloved Japanese establishments where guests can stay, drink and unwind long into the night. Its menu is sophisticated but approachable, with fresh fish flown in daily, American and Japanese wagyu and shareable items. It also offers omakase meals, where guests leave dining decisions up to the chef. Photo: Provided by 3CDC
The Red Leprechaun 20 West Freedom Way, The Banks Ireland came to The Banks this fall with the opening of The Red Leprechaun. The concept is led by the Fishbowl at The Banks team, and owner Daniel Scott partnered with chef Brian Duffy from the Spike TV series Bar Rescue to create the menu. Scott describes the spot as a traditional Irish pub with a modern flair, from their menu to the live music. The menu is a mix of Irish fare — think fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and a traditional Irish breakfast complete with bangers and black and white pudding to help soak up all the Guinness from the night before — and American (and Cincy-style) dishes like chili cheese fries and burgers. But unique to The Red Leprechaun is the vintage bar, complete with stained glass and imported from Malahide, Ireland. It was built in 1957 and stood for 62 years until 2019 and was refinished for the pub’s opening. Photo: Provided by Game Day PR
Opal Rooftop Restaurant & Bar 535 Madison Ave., Covington A new place to take in the views of Greater Cincinnati while enjoying a delicious meal and fine wine opened in Covington this fall. Opal Rooftop Restaurant & Bar is the newest concept from husband-wife duo Bill and Morgan Whitlow, who want the restaurant to offer a luxurious, yet accessible, experience. At the center of that experience is the restaurant’s Grillworks wood-fired grill, the only one of its kind in a two-hour radius. This unique grill drives Opal’s open-fire grill and wine-forward menu, which features dishes made from fresh, local fare and products, and the craft cocktail menu and wine selection have been curated to complement the dishes. And to complement the beautiful view outside, the restaurant’s interior design was specially curated by the Whitlows, who even hand-made some of the light fixtures. Morgan said guests will notice the very intentional details throughout the space that will change as they move through the restaurant, much like the way an opal or other gemstone shifts light and color.

Al-Posto Italian Ristorante 2710 Erie Ave., Hyde Park The home of Teller’s of Hyde Park for 25 years reopened this spring as “Italian-inspired” Al-Posto, an Italian phrase that translates to “at the spot.” The approachable Italian menu features a variety of classic pasta dishes like cacio e pepe, spaghetti and meatballs and orecchiette, as well as dishes like branzino, a filet and a gourmet cheeseburger. The compact list of wines available by the glass, according to the menu, is “hand selected by wine director & sommelier, Austin Heidt.” The selection of just 14 choices — two-thirds from Italy — features an organic pinot grigio from Veneto as the house white, a luscious falanghina from Campania and a smooth Super Tuscan from the Camigliano winery south of Florence, Italy.

VV the Italian Experience 1026 Delta Ave., Mt. Lookout Café and shop VV The Italian Experience dishes up an authentic Italian experience in Mt. Lookout Square. Owners Melissa and Andrea De Giorgi wanted to recreate an Italian “la cafeteria,” a place for family and friends to spend time together, relax for breakfast and lunch and enjoy aperitivo, or happy hour with delicious bites. The space is simple yet elegant and combines both vintage and modern Italian styles in a seamless and welcoming manner. On the menu, you’ll find everything from Italian pastries like cornettis and piadina Nutella (a flatbread with Nutella spread) for breakfast, to paninis for lunch and pastas, salads and soups for dinner.

Solstice 1544 Madison Road, East Walnut Hills Tropical-themed Solstice opened in East Walnut Hills in late June. The folks behind Solstice are familiar with the neighborhood, given that their charming cocktail bar, Anjou, is a stone’s throw away, on Woodburn Avenue. In contrast to most taco-centric eateries, the cocktail menu doesn’t lean heavily on margaritas or other tequila drinks. That’s in part because it’s not a Mexican restaurant; instead, the focus is more generally on the tropical parts of our planet. Thus, drinks, as well as food, borrow from flavors developed near the equator, including Africa, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. The food section of this menu is fairly simple, divided into “Sharables” and “Tacos.” Photo: Emory Davis

You can try elevated bar-fare appetizers like their Sweet Chili Pineapple Wings or loaded nachos topped with ground beef, queso, pickled jalapenos, cilantro, pico de gallo and crema. ACES also serves a range of sandwiches, bowls and salads and has a dedicated kids’ menu. Photo: facebook.com/Aces Pickleball + Kitchen
Level One Bar + Arcade 1331 Walnut St., Over-the-Rhine You can put your old-school video gaming skills to the test at Level One Bar + Arcade in Over-the-Rhine, with its catalog of classics like Donkey Kong, Q-Bert and Mortal Kombat and an impressive collection of pinball machines. (This house of nostalgia also has Nintendo 64 and Game Cube, the realization of which just made millennials everywhere collectively groan – or that could have just been all of our backs and joints giving out at once.) At the bar, there are two dozen local beers on tap along with game-themed cocktails. Food isn’t served at Level One, but guests can order takeout from local restaurants and vendors.

Fabled Brew Works 331 Kenton Lands Road, Suite 300, Erlanger The legend of this small, fantasy-inspired craft brewery and meadery started this past June. Fabled Brew Works sprang from the mind of five friends who really enjoy beer and wanted to bring something new to Cincinnati, both in aesthetics and in the actual brew offerings. What came from that is a sylvan-like taproom that looks like it sprung from between the pages of a storybook – a fantasy forest that leads to the door of a thatched-roof cottage, a half-timbered storefront with books in its “windows” and an apothecary. A hollowed tree sits behind the bar. You almost feel like the hero or heroine about to embark on an epic journey. And those elements of fantasy, folklore and myths also make their way onto the tap list, featuring brews with names like the classic American lager Paul Bunyan and Minos the Bull (an imperial stout with pistachio, marshmallow and fudge). The brewery and meadery puts its focus on fruit-forward beers and things you don’t find a whole lot of in the region: bold stouts, meads and dessert-inspired varieties. Photo: Katherine Barrier

Primo Italian Steakhouse 6 S. Broad St., Middletown Anchoring the prominent corner of Walnut and Sixth streets Downtown, Prime Cincinnati has become a mainstay restaurant on a block known for some of the best restaurants in the city. In 2023, Prime gained a sister restaurant in downtown Middletown. With a solid foundation to build on, Prime’s owners partnered to open another upscale steakhouse with its own identity. Prime goes Italian with the new concept, Primo. The menu features a heavy focus on pasta dishes, like the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese (featuring pork, beef, tomato, ragu and Parmigiano Vacche Rosse) and Ravioli Burro e Salvia (made with butternut squash, ricotta, butter and sage, but also leans into its identity as a steakhouse with a variety of bistecca options.

Conserva 225 Elm St., Ludlow Tapas restaurant Conserva may be one of Northern Kentucky’s best hidden gems. Owner and head chef Challis Hodge studied Spanish tapa cuisine to recreate an authentic experience with a medley of options. One popular dish on the menu is a Spanish national favorite, Tortilla Española, made using potatoes, egg, olive oil and salt. And if you’re a fan of dips, the gambas al ajillo, or Spanish garlic shrimp, is made using sherry and guindilla pepper and served with dippable crostini. The menu also features vegetarian and gluten-free options. Photo: Catie Viox
The Well/Grub Local 8 W. Seventh St., Covington Described as equal parts cool and casual, The Well provides a laidback and cozy lounge, as well as a large patio, with plenty of seating throughout and large-screen TVs, making it a great game-day destination. Its restaurant arm, Grub Local, is helmed by chef Mitch Arens, the former executive chef at Hotel Covington. The menu offers a tasty spin on classic American cocktails and drinks, like the Chicago-ish Dog and Philly Cheesesteak Tots. Arens says Grub Local is also all about revamping hometown favorites, like their Jumbo Coney. Their drink list includes $11 specialty drinks, wines, some draft beers and a variety of canned beers and seltzers. Photo: Aidan Mahoney

Amador 1 Levee Way, Newport Havana has come to Greater Cincinnati.

And unlike other Cuban restaurants, their small plates are meant to be shared. To drink, the restaurant has Cuban coffee, craft cocktails and Latin American beers, wines and rare spirits.

Chacabanas Cuban Sandwiches 1809 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine If you love Cuban sandwiches, you need to try one of the newest eateries in town, Chacabanas (named after the shirt style popular in Cuba and the Dominican Republic). This sandwich shop specializes in authentic Cubanos with three options: the classic El Cubano (roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on toasted Cuban bread); the Ybor City Cubano, made with roasted pork shoulder and featuring the addition of Genoa salami; or the Croqueta Preparada – their Cuban topped with their croquettes. Chacabanas also offers antojitos, or snacks, like yuca fries, empanadas and their croquetas. Photo: facebook.com/FindlayMarket
Binski’s Bar 2872 Colerain Ave., Camp Washington When Binski’s Bar opened in Camp Washington earlier this year, it did so with the goal of being Camp Washington’s communal watering hole. The bar sits in a bright green building from the early 1900s that was originally a saloon and boarding house (wink wink). An Old Style sign hangs outside — “a signal to anyone in Chicago you’re about to walk into a great bar,” says owner Kiel Erdelac. Inside, visitors will find some classic bar staples like a CD jukebox, darts, rotating drink specials and a community that makes you feel welcome. Photo: facebook.com/binskisbar

While the new menu has moved away from bagels and more toward sandwiches and other cafe offerings, everything is still made with the same chutzpah. Photo: Katie Griffith

Wildweed 118 W. 15th St., Over-the-Rhine Wildweed offers a menu that’s pasta-centric and seasonally driven, but don’t call it an Italian restaurant says owner David Jackman, a Michelin-star chef. Jackman says he wants Wildweed to celebrate and showcase the best cultivated and wild-harvested products our region has to offer. The restaurant got its start as Sunday Sauce, a pop-up in Oakley, in 2019 and has gone through a few different iterations since. But now, Wildweed is planting its roots on Walnut Street, preparing to move into the bottom floor of the Columbia Flats project in Over-the-Rhine. But until then, you can grab a dish of this handcrafted pasta at the former Pleasantry restaurant, 118 W. 15th St. in OTR. Photo: instagram.com/@wildweed.cinci
