While I have raved about the pizza at Adriatico’s before, I had never stepped foot in their newer location on McMillan Street in Clifton. Back when I was a resident in the area and attending the University of Cincinnati, Adriatico’s was on the other side of campus and wasn’t somewhere to go for a sit down meal. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I met for lunch at their new space which opened at the beginning of this year.

Inside Adriatico’s

Once we finally found parking (do not park in the lot neighboring the restaurant, as this belongs to Pomodori’s next door) we entered the restaurant and were immediately greeted by an employee who showed us to a table near along the windows on the McMillan side. It looks like some large garage doors can be opened on nice days, which this was not. There is a really good selection of craft beer available, and the menu has a lot more than just pizza.

Large Sicilian

We definitely came for the pizza though. Having never had much more than the really large “Bearcat” pizza, I wasn’t sure exactly what to order at first. But then I soon realized that the Sicilian style crust that the Bearcat is served on is available in other sizes. My wife and I easily agreed to split a Sicilian with pepperoni, sausage, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. It was delicious, easily on the top of my list of pizza in Cincinnati.
