My first ever restaurant experience in Cincy – everything I ate was good! I went with the lamb chops, which came with a hefty price tag but didn’t disappoint – the asparagus, potatoes, and chops were all hits. My dad’s salmon was also delicious. However, my favorite was the bread – the olive oil + butter combo slapped.
Overall, a good experience, but I need a little bit more wow for me to give the last star given the price point.

Fillo Modern Greek
The whole experience was a 10/10. We loved the ambiance of the restaurant from the modern decor, dimmed lighting and cozy atmosphere.
Our server, Callie was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable of the menu. Her timing was perfect.
We had the bread Service with delicious EVOO. Followed by the Fried Feta! Soo good!! We split the Greek Salad and Lamb Chops. Both excellent!
We are looking forward to dining there again.

My husband and I stopped here for dinner, on a whim, traveling from Chicago through Cincinnati for one night. I’m sure glad we decided on Fillo! Our food was EXCEPTIONAL (I will be raving about it for years to come – the roasted potatoes have changed me for good). Our waitress, Cali, suggested a spicy feta appetizer and it was divine. Cali was so knowledgeable on the menu, so helpful, and felt so genuine. She filled us in on the history of the place and helped guide our ordering decisions. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. If I’m ever back in Cincinnati, I know where I’m going for dinner. Do yourself a favor and get to Fillo asap!

We were visiting for one night from Chicago and couldn’t have made a better choice for dinner. The cuisine and service at Fillo were exceptional. Our server was very well-versed on the menu and wine offerings including fun details about the chef, where menu items came from, and even some lore about the wine. We got the full bronzini flown in daily from Greece. When a member of our table spilled a glass of wine, our server was extremely gracious in making her feel better and accommodating our table. We even got to meet Chef Evan at the end of the meal… Thank you!!

We’ve been a couple times and typically sit at the bar. Service is friendly, even on busy nights they’ll apologize if there’s a delay.
We’ve tried most of the menu and love the octopus, moussaka and chicken. Desserts are all top notch. The vibe is upscale with a chic crowd.

Brennan our waiter was phenomenal and personal. The food was exceptional. We had the fried feta which is chefs kiss. The greek potatoes were crispy and delicious.The best octopus … coming from someone that knows good octopus AMAZING (the sauce is to die for). But the lamb chops were the best part of the meal. Will be back to try everything. The atmosphere was cool and welcoming. Surprised they didn’t have a line out of the door.

Fantastic, family owned place where they put effort into every detail of the menu. Knowing that the owners of the restaurant were working in the kitchen made it super special. The staff is well informed of dish ingredients, which are imported from Greece as often as possible. The standouts of our meal were the fried feta, spanakopita, and the succulent shrimp. The star of the show were the cheesecake baklava nests. My new favorite dessert in the city. Every dish was expertly crafted down to the detail (crazy fresh and delicious olive oil drizzled along the spanakopita for example), delicious, and we were well cared for along the way. Thank you!

Everything here was fantastic. Authentic greek cuisine and could not as for better service or food. High quality ingredients and it really shows! We enjoyed every dish we had: Fried Feta, Souvlaki, and Moussaka. The Baklava is a must try as well!

I have mixed feelings about our visit. On the positive side, the food was genuinely delicious—everything we ordered tasted great and was well-prepared.
However, the overall experience fell short for the price point. The portions were notably small and felt expensive for what we received. More frustrating was the service; despite having a 7:30 PM reservation, we weren’t seated for 45 minutes. Once at the table, the service remained slow throughout the night.
