- JJacobyCincinnati / Dayton •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI have celiac disease- it’s so nice to have a dedicated gf restaurant in town. Everything we’ve had here is delicious. They have a menu that seems to rotate semi-regularly along with some staples. I had some delicious guacamole and flautas as a starter and two of their tacos. They also had gluten free tres leches cake which was BOMB. Can’t recommend enough.More infoCrown CantinaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Central Business District•4.7

- MMeganIndiana •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe’ve had dinner twice at Pepp & Dolores, and both experiences were fabulous. The food is amazing and service is great, but be sure to make a reservation if possible! Pepp & Dolores is obviously very loved, so seats can fill up quick. We look forward to going back soon!More infoPepp & DoloresPrice: Moderate• Italian• Over the Rhine•4.9
- CConnorCincinnati / Dayton •15 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEverything we got on the menu was fantastic! This really was authentic greek cuisine. We loved the Fried Feta, Souvlaki, and Moussaka the most. Make sure to leave some room or even take some of the Bakalva home as that is to die for.More infoFilloPrice: Moderate• Greek• Over the Rhine•4.7
