Reviews for The Wheel in Cincinnati, OH
Best in the business. If you are looking for great takeout, or a private dinner do not hesitate Chrissy is phenomenal!
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. Thebread and the cookies are amazing. And I am the most particular person on the planet. I grew up with a mom that did only Frenchcooking. 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, talkingto 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 ahard-core addiction..... Read more
This is a wonderful "Special Event/Pop-up" style restaurant. It's not open on a regular basis. They do a prefix dinner. We were... part of a roughly 20 pers party. We had 4 courses of amazing homemade Italian food. It reminded me of eating at little, cuterestaurants in Italy. I can't wait to go back. Read more
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 lemonricotta cookies ( I think about them daily) and the Nutella brownie and I couldn?t recommend enough. Read more
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?rewonderful, too. You can?t go wrong with any selection. Additionally, the owner and the staff are delightful and clearly have alove for their craft. Very grateful to have this special place in the neighborhood. Read more
The Wheel started as a pop-up restaurant hosting private dinners and they have expanded to now offer takeaway orders four days a... week. All of their bread and pizza doughs are hand mixed and baked fresh daily. And the menu changes daily. The Wheel is prettywell hidden on the eastern edge of Oakley on Brotherton Road, tucked between homes and small apartment complexes. There is asmall parking lot, or street parking out front. The brick exterior actually doesn't look much different from the neighboringfour family homes. The interior is clean, new, and modern. Menu boards are updated daily with the offerings of the day. Icouldn't decide between the two pane offerings of the day, so I ordered a slice of each! The tomato pane is amazingly delicious!The stewed tomato sauce for this is super thick and also contains oregano, garlic, and olive oil. It is lightly topped withcheese and dried herbs. The coppa & peppers pane had a base of the same thick crust, a little tomato sauce, and provolone. Thecoppa is a salami like meat and was complimented with banana peppers. This was also a good slice of pie, but I have to recommendthat you try the tomato if you can only handle a single slice. Two slices was more than I could finish for my lunch. Read more
I was here as part of a group dinner on 12/12/17. Our group organized the outing through the folks at The Wheel ahead of time.... I'm not sure of the cost, but it was a totally private event. In the evening, this is not the type of restaurant where you stopby and grab dinner. It does seem they have carryout during the day. The dining area is a single room. There is a kitchen and astorage area in adjacent rooms. The food was incredible. We had a multi-course dinner and the chef came out and told us aboutthe elements of the course before each one. The pasta and bread are made there. This is a place with heart and soul, you canfeel it in the vibe and taste it in the food. Highly recommend at least stopping by and getting take out, even better would beorganizing a group dinner. It's a unique experience. Read more
