I visited this restaurant with my partner for an anniversary dinner & was pleastly greeted upon entry. The host(I believe her name was Heather) quickly seated us upstairs. The restaurant decor & lighting is absolutely gorgeous. Everything felt super intimate but not too serious.
Our sever Lauren was perfect. She went over the special dishes of the night & explained the menu to us well as it was our first time dining. We started with the Arancini, Funghi Fritti and each had the Short Rib Lasagna with bread service. We added an additional dish of pomodoro for dipping the bread.
The Funghi w/ lemon aoli dipping sauce was the standout starter for us. The mushrooms were juicy, zesty & fried in an airy breading. I could little eat this on the daily. The main course also didn’t disappoint. The lasagna was a good portion with generous amounts of meat through out. It was served with a large focaccia bread slice & shaved cheese. I’m looking forward to my next visit to explore more.

This was my second time here and we came to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday. Our server Matt was super attentive, and the service was great. We started off with the arancini balls, crispy and filling, but not too rich. We also got the smoked oyster Caesar salad, which was a different way to eat something traditional. Of course we had to get their pastas, we also got the Bronzino and shrimp. Literally everything was delishhhh!! so flavorful and you could tell everything was made w/ care

Al-Pasto is an amazing restaurant with an amazing staff. Me and my husband went last week for our one year wedding anniversary and it was so good we decided to take my parents.The waiter that waited on us last week even remembered us after only one visit! If you like Italian food then it’s a must! The hospitality is even better! 10/10 would recommend!

The vibe inside is great! Loved dining in the vault. The arancini was delicious! The burrata was ok. The table side cacio e pepe is delish and worth the price for the experience.

This restaurant was stunning— set inside of an old bank, the upholstery of the benches inside were extremely modern and trendy. Candles and lamps created a perfect mood lighting. Our food was amazing: the linguine alle flora was a phenomenal choice and we enjoyed dessert, too. Drinks were also super yummy.
We also loved the service! The hostess was able to accommodate a last-minute request to sit upstairs and our server, Ryan, was the best. His recommendations were solid and we had wonderful conversation every time he came around.
Thanks Al Posto for hosting my best friend and I for an affordably luxe meal!

This was the best food I’ve had in awhile. The portions may not be huge but very filling with how rich all the food is. We ended up getting the pasta made table side in the cheese wheel. It was ok but adding in the ribeye and grit platter with that flavorful au ju added in and the focaccia to soak up the rest was delightful. We will definitely be back for the next birthday dinner.

We were looking to for a new place to go for my birthday and they had an open reservation. We put a detail in to get us a table away from the door because of the cold. Not only did they get us the table almost farthest away from the door, but they had a toast for us because of my birthday—on the house. The service was incredible. The food may be even better. We have some great Italian places in Cincinnati and I feel like this one definitely joins the ranks in my book. A+ and we will be back.

Stopped here to sit at bar and have an appetizer and ended up having a 4 course meal. I’d say we are picky eaters the best meatballs we’ve ever had and the gnocchi is the best entree I’ve ever had. The meatballs are an authentic Italian recipe of the owner. We were so surprised what used to be Tellers is now a place we’d love to come back to! The service was impeccable! Rebecca is a gem !
