    Tasted like a real Italian espresso. The Cornetto with apricot jam was delicate and very tasty.

    If you want to be transported to Italy and eat authentic Italian food cooked and managed by Italians, look no further. They even offer complimentary tarallini for dine-ins! Vouched as authentic by real Italians. Outdoor seating available. I recommend making a reservation if going on the weekend as they are busy!!

    Great spot to enjoy an authentic Italian breakfast. Don't leave without trying their "Pasticceria" because it is delightful and make sure to order extra to take home. I have already stopped twice during my moto rides and this place is perfect on weekdays and even better for weekend brunches.

    Amazing authentic food and drinks! The cappuccino was truly Italian and I’ve loved everything I’ve had. Really lovely, positive atmosphere too and great music.

    This place is as authentic Italian as it gets. From the moment you walk in you enter an atmosphere that intentionally evokes an Italian café. Italian products are on display, including Italian wines and my childhood sweet treats. The espresso is likely the best in town. I highly recommend trying it out.

    Five stars for the best Italian espresso in Cincinnati - served with a little spoon and sugar, just like in Italy. :) I was so happy to find sfogliatelle which did not disappoint. Crunchy, fresh, delicious. And it's so rare to find Ferrero Pocket Coffee, but it's there, right by the register!

    It's a little slice of Italy right in the heart of Mt.Lookout. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warm smell of freshly baked cornetti and aroma of coffee. Their salads are to die for, and the pasta is an absolute must-try! It's evident that the ingredients are of the highest quality, and as Italian, I can say the flavors are 100% authentic.

    As someone who relishes authentic Italian cuisine, I was truly overjoyed to find VV Italian nestled in the heart of Mount Lookout. Their exquisite paninis, scrumptious pastries, and the welcoming ambiance make for an extraordinary culinary journey reminiscent of a picturesque Italian streetside cafe. One of VV Italian's standout offerings is their panzerotti. Reminiscent of those found in Bari, the panzerottis here are crafted with passion, bringing an authentic Italian experience to this Ohio neighborhood. Those of us yearning for a taste of Italy will find solace in the flaky pastries and flavorful fillings. My palate is already eager to return for this Bari-style delight. Not to be outdone by their baked goods, their coffee is noteworthy as well. The cappuccino was absolutely spot on - creamy, rich, and invigorating. The cornetto paired with it was a match made in heaven, giving me a true Italian breakfast experience in the heart of the Midwest. When it comes to dessert, VV Italian has an enticing array of pastries that all look deliciously authentic. While I missed out on the last slice of their coveted pistachio cheesecake, the rave reviews from fellow diners have me resolute to return for a taste. VV Italian is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience. With Prosecco that sparkles, a fresh and delightful meat and cheese platter, and free Wi-Fi for those needing to work, this spot truly caters to a variety of needs. Be warned, though - parking is an extra expense, but a small price to pay for such an immersive culinary trip to Italy. The service at VV Italian is second to none. Friendly staff that go above and beyond to ensure a great experience truly adds to the charm of this gem. VV Italian is an absolute must-visit for anyone craving an authentic taste of Italy. Just remember to get there early enough to secure a slice of their pistachio cheesecake - something I'll be sure to do on my next visit!

    You get what you pay for. While maybe a bit pricier, it really is an Italian experience. The espresso was perfectly balanced and delicious, and their pastry came fresh out of the oven! Ordered to go because it was a busy Saturday morning, but I look forward to returning for table service.

    This place is a gem. The service was fantastic and the food was exceptional. The coffee was delicious, I got the pistachio cappuccino. I had a salad as well. The atmosphere was welcoming and had an upscale feel, but with affordable prices! I will definitely be back to try more. We also took some fruit tart to go and it was great. I highly recommend trying it out

    A very cute setup with plenty of pastries and coffee options. The servers are super polite and very helpful. Stopped here briefly to try their coffee and absolutely loved the Chocolate Latte Macchiato. Also tried a plain cornetto and conchiglia chocolate. Everything was so good that I can't wait to be back for dinner. Check their Instagram for details on the buffet dinners every other Thursday.
