on Citysearch Feb 16, 2008Food 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)

on Judys Book Aug 19, 2005This is the Italian Restaurant featured in the movie Rainman. Its 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)

on Citysearch Apr 26, 2005This 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)

on Citysearch Sep 07, 2004<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)

on Citysearch Jan 28, 2003If 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)
