I travel a lot and usually try to eat at a "local" Italian restaurant during my travels. While the food was not the greatest Italian food I have ever eaten, it was extremely tasty and I highly recommend this restaurant.... (more)

My uncle ate at Pompilio's every day till he died; grandma lived a few doors away. It wasn't great then and it isn't good now. But we've changed. Everyone cooks better, eats better and dines out in better restaurants... (more)

you are in Newport Kentucky, not New York City where I am from. So this ain't haute cuisine. Having said that, it tastes good. It is a tad bland, but not too salty. The tomato sauce has some personality, the chicken is... (more)

Food is unbelievably good. Service at times is slow and not the greatest, but the food is worth it. The restaurant building is very old and rugged, but has a great Italian theme, and memorabilia from the movie Rainman... (more)

My wife and I, my son, and our granddaughter went to Pompilio's on Fathers Day, and I really wanted this to work out, what with the "Rain Man" hype, and the fact that real "Italians'" have operated this establishment... (more)

This is the Italian Restaurant featured in the movie “Rainman.” It’s in the scene where Dustin Hoffman counts the toothpicks. That being said, the restaurant certainly has some history to it. All of the food tastes... (more)

This is excellent authentic italian food for a wonderful price. I grew up in the area, and have moved away. EVERY time I come home, I go to Pompilios. The meal portions are huge for price, but quality is not at all... (more)

<b>The Scene</b><br>This may be the most truly "Cincinnatian" restaurant that isn't in Cincinnati. A warm, family atmosphere pervades the dining rooms (one non-smoking, the smaller one smoking). Photos from... (more)

While the ambience is interesting and the prices fairly reasonable, why bother with this restaurant. With so many excellent places to eat, particulalry Italian in the area, choose somewhere else. The food is... (more)

Food was not good. Sauces bland and the bread was god-awful. Tasted super stale. We waited forever too. The atmosphere was okay though (more)

If you like Ragu, this is your place. Food is mediocre at best. Atmosphere is not exactly the best. Looking for good Italian in a superb atmosphere at a good price ... try Karlos Italian Bistro in Florence.... (more)

Being new to the area, I searched high and low for authentic or close to authentic Italian food. I decided on Pompilio's and was pleased to see the number of people waiting to dine that night and took that as a positive... (more)

I first tried Pompilio's at Taste of Cincinnati and had to go there. The food is tremendous and the atmosphere makes you feel like you just stepped into the real Italy. They even have a large back yard and outdoor dining... (more)
