Experience Through Their Eyes

This may be one of my new favorites here in Hamilton. This pizza was okay, but the pasta was fantastic! And our server was amazing. She was so attentive and kind even with a huge crowd in there watching the Ohio state football game. We ordered: meatball mostaccioli, the Godfather, and the Chicken Alfredo. We also got a pepperoni pizza to go and three cheesecakes. So here's my option on everything: Meatball mostaccioli: Meh. Sauce was bland. Meatball was good. Would not order this again. The Godfather: this is red sauce over mostaccioli pasta with Italian sausage, onions and peppers. It was pretty good. The peppers and onions were fresh but the sauce was still so bland. The Italian sausage was very spicy for me, but my dining companions didn't think so. I don't think I would order it again. Chicken Alfredo: this was the winner. I will eat this every day all day. The sauce is so creamy and delicious. Just the right amount of chicken and the cheese baked on top added some extra love! I almost licked the plate it was so good. Garlic bread: if you like your garlic bread with lots of garlic and little bread, this is the one for you. I love garlic so this bread was fantastic to me. Cheesecake: sadly, no. Tasted so weird. Don't recommend at all. Pepperoni pizza: yummy but nothing special. Yes, I will be back for more Alfredo! And the atmosphere was okay just loud because there was so many people in there. It's a lively bar crowd for sure.

Stopped by for the first time to grab some take out and was pleasantly surprised. Everything was so good and fresh. The servers were so sweet. The restaurant it's self can get a little crowded and noisy so be advised if that's not your thing. The tavern is all the way in the back of the parking lot, hidden from the road. This is definitely going to become a regular spot.

Gina's Italian Kitchen is located just off main highway but you do have to drive in between two other places to get there. Plenty of parking on the front side of restaurant and lots of parking on rear of building. Large outside area for warmer weather. I went only for quick lunch since my time was limited. Service was quick and efficient. I went just after noon rush and it was crowded but still plenty of seats. I ordered soup and Italian house salad. Options for soup were French Onion, Chili and Chicken n Dumplings. I ordered the Chicken n Dumplings and it was excellent. You can order it in cup or bowl. Italian House salad was very good and I ate every bite. Since I only went for soup and salad I definitely will go back and try their entrees. My experience was excellent and I think price was only about $16.00. Very well pleased.

We've gone twice and the food & service were great both times. It's also reasonably priced. Eating inside isn't great cuz it's REALLY loud. Better on the patio. Our server tonight was Bree & she was great!

Nice little place that is hidden if you aren't from this area. Really friendly staff and the food was great. Had the Godfather, and everything was tasty, especially the red sauce. Friend got the Hoagie and loved every bite. If your in town traveling like me, definitely check this place out

Excellent food. The restaurant was packed from when we showed up at 5 until we left at 7:30. For the crowd in here, I can't speak highly enough about this place. The chicken parmesan and chicken Alfredo was absolutely phenomenal. Pizza has almost like a little pesto in it and makes the sauce incredible!! We loved it and we'll definitely be back!
