Are you looking for a cheap feed or a fine-dining experience? Do you want to try something new, or do you think a restaurant should have been in place a few decades before it can be judged "best"? Any of those ways, you're in luck. There are Italian restaurants in Cincinnati that have been around since the Depression and earlier, and there are plenty that have opened in the past couple of years.
Generally, the oldest restaurants are the most Italian-American and the newest eateries are trying hardest to re-create "authentic" Italian cooking. That change in cooking style corresponds with historical trends: when the first Italians immigrated here, they made do without the availability of ingredients from the old country.
