This is genuinely one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to — and that’s including well-known, high-end Italian spots in Columbus. I’ve been to the Cameron Mitchell Italian restaurants, and honestly, this place is better — and also cheaper.
The Scarpinocc de Manzo was absolutely incredible and easily the highlight of the meal. The braised beef and ricotta–filled pasta with bone marrow jus was rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. It’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about after the meal, and I would come back just for that alone.
The tiramisu is outstanding. I loved that it has chocolate chips mixed in — it adds a really nice texture and made it one of the best tiramisus I’ve had.
The rosemary & parmesan focaccia was also amazing. We ordered the full size for the table (pictured), and it was more than enough for four people, making it perfect for sharing.
We also tried the burrata. While it wasn’t my personal favorite, that’s more of a preference thing — I tend to like a more traditional burrata. That said, it was still well executed and thoughtfully composed.
One thing to note: reservations are highly recommended. This isn’t really a walk-in spot, but it’s absolutely worth planning ahead.
Overall, the quality, flavor, and value here are exceptional. Easily one of my favorite Italian restaurants, and I’ll definitely be back.

This place is a must try if you want fresh authentic Italian food. We wanted something different gor lunch and decided to give this place a try. We went outside the box and ordered the Tortelli Di Zucca which was amazing, Pappardelle Alla Agnello Brasato and the lamb was so tender and flavorful it was the best lamb I have ever tasted and lastly the spinach and chicory salad. All dishes were so good we will definitely be back.

We had the Tiramisu with a 4.8 we were going!! We got it as a take out for my son’s birthday. Tiramisu is his favorite. We get home and notice a lot of liquid (I dont cook at all but my son does) he said its fine. OK so we taste it… absolutely no taste and it was like eating soaked bread. We also got something else with the foam on top and my son said it was great ( pic of it bellow) The food on the menu was very expensive and I couldn’t smell any food smells when I walked in. The place is clean and beautiful!!! The service from the young man was top notch!! The wine at $18 + a glass was a no for me but the place was packed with women who apparently could afford it and thought the food was amazing. This is just my opinion, but walmart has a better tasting Tiramisu.

WOW! Best dining experience in Dayton, hands down. The staff, including Chef Sal and the hostess were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the meal was incredible.
I felt as though pricing was fair for the handmade, high quality, and delicious options. I enjoyed the seafood pasta, coffee, and tarte for lunch. I am still dreaming about the flavors. It was a memorable experience that made me leave with a smile. Will be returning, and recommending to friends and family. Thank you Grist!

Went during a weekday with reservations for four. Seated on time. There is no server, you order at the counter or from the app. Slightly off putting to not have some walk you through the menu or readily answer questions. Eating out is a time to put away your phone not pick them up and be a part of the experience to me. The food was absolutely amazing. I shared and tried with all my friends. The meatballs having an unexpected spice was great. The pumpkin filled pasta was like a dessert dish. Everything was flavorful and made perfectly. The menu selections and choices are limited. The wine and drinks were well priced. I tried three of the desserts and would stick with paradise. Overall great experience. Not a huge fan of there service.

Best fresh pasta in Ohio! I was so surprised there is such a wonderful pasta shop in Dayton! Every dish was truly delicious. The texture of the pasta was spot on and the seasoning was phenomenal. The service was really nice. I highly recommend this restaurant to you!

Absolutely delicious
We had the best lunch. Intimate but friendly atmosphere with delicious food from soup, sandwiches to fresh pasta. My only regret is I didn’t try the tiramisu.. yet

We had our company Christmas party at Grist and I cannot recommend it enough. The food was exquisite. We had the focaccia, meatballs, and kale salad for appetizers and the beef and polenta, mushroom risotto, and bolognese for the mains. The service was top notch and they took great care of us. Thank you Grist team!

Had an amazing lunch at Grist in Dayton. The Fowl Play sandwich was next-level good, and the whole vibe of the place is modern, fun, and inviting. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Great unpretentious cafe bar that serves dinner until 9pm. Small menu of mostly pasta, but the quality is top-notch Rosemary focaccia bread is good, even though the 1/2 portion is too much for one person! Overall a perfect last night meal in Dayton, highly recommended
