The Wheel

We recently attended a private "pop up" dinner here. The home made pasta dishes were absolutely delicious and the best pasta that I have experienced outside of Italy. All meal courses were wonderful and unique. The chef has a true gift. The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return!

Phenomenal, eye-opening and a huge door out of a couple years of pandemic anxiety and junk food. I have never, in the US, tasted food like this. So far I've had Chicken Parm and Spinach cannelloni. Words fail. My doctor told me about this place. The bread and the cookies are amazing. And I am the most particular person on the planet. I grew up with a mom that did only French cooking. The atmosphere is like stepping back into the sixties, in some little café in North Beach in S.F. or in Trastevere. Small scale, all locally sourced, it turned my day around and my current eating existence. The whole time I was there, talking to Chrissy, the chef/owner, she was rolling out huge sheets of pasta from the pasta maker or rolling gnocchi. Mesmerizing. There is no place like this in Cincinnati. Period. And don't take all the Chicken Parm because I've instantly developed a hard-core addiction.....

This place has quickly become my favorite place to eat. I don’t know how they did it, but the carrot sandwich is heavenly. We’ve had the take home pastas, as well. They’re delicious and the perfect portions. The desserts are divine. We’ve had the lemon ricotta cookies ( I think about them daily) and the Nutella brownie and I couldn’t recommend enough.

My partner and I absolutely love this place. The sandwiches, cookies and desserts (which they rotate based on the season) are a cut above. Don’t count out that carrot sandwich before you try it! We’ve had a few of the bake-at-home pasta dishes and they’re wonderful, too. You can’t go wrong with any selection. Additionally, the owner and the staff are delightful and clearly have a love for their craft. Very grateful to have this special place in the neighborhood.

Finally got a chance to try The Wheel and it did not disappoint!! My friend got the Shaved Turkey sandwich and I got the Rosemary Roasted Carrot sandwich, both were so delicious and very filling. We also got some yummy desserts. I definitely plan to check out the Take and Bake options for when baby #2 arrives.

The Wheel is one of my absolute favorite places to eat. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is scratch made and you can really tell the difference. Their pastas are unreal along with the incredible pizzas. Be sure to get on their email list for updates on events, private dinning, and the weekly pizza parties. Each week they have different pizzas and I have never had one I didn’t absolutely love (and I have probably had 20 of them). Also, if you go here and don’t get the focaccia, you are committing a crime.
