Razzo is such a delicious surprise; I wish I got pictures. The pasta was top tier. We got the Cacio and the Bolognese. We had several tasty starters: broccolini, the Brussels sprouts, meatball, and focaccia. Highly recommend all of them. Razzo is right up there with some of best Italian in Cincy.

My friend sent a post to me about this restaurant closing within a week or so and after looking at their page I had to go and try the food. We ordered the diavolo pizza which was not bad I loved the crust and the spicy ricotta was a yummy addition. We also ordered the cacio e Pepe pasta which was just okay. The dish that stole the show however was the focaccia with mushroom pate. Wow this is the best bread and dip dish I have ever had. It is served with something pickled on top as well that complements the mushroom so so well. Shoutout to our waiter for recommending it. He said he wasn't a mushroom fan but this is his favorite and I can totally see why. I truly am sad this place is closing because that means I will not be able to get that again. I would highly recommend checking this spot out asap to get a taste of the flavors they have to offer. They did mention that since it's close to closing reservations are highlyyyy recommended as the restaurant doesn't have that much seating.

Go to Razzo! This place is amazing.We have eaten here twice. We stopped late on a Wednesday night after a night downtown. Ordered the Patate, Cacio, and the Margherita pizza. The patate was wonderful, cheesy, and with a perfect sauce that has a little peppery finish that was wonderful. The cacio my wife swears is the best in the city. The pizza is great, crunchy and a great sauce with a good amount of cheese and some basil. We've all been somewhere with a menu that just has too much stuff and most of it isn't good. This place has a small menu that ensures each dish is perfect and not overly complicated.Service was perfect and can't be complained about. It might get a little noisy with a full dining room. But a 9 pm dinner it was us and a few parties and it was an amazing environment for a nice meal. Go here, go often. Enjoy a great meal with a simple menu with everything you might want.

This was my first visit to Razzo and it's a true hidden gem. It's a cozy space and the red glow from the neon lights at the bar is a whole vibe. We were quickly greeted by our waiter and we ordered a martini and aperol spritz to start. Solid drinks and I even got a blue cheese olive with my martini upon request. We started with the arancini and they were divine. Super cheesy with a crunchy exterior and the risotto was perfectly al dente. For the entree we shared the cacio and the diavola pizza. The pasta was good but the pizza stole the show. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. It was impressively spicy but a side of house made ranch gave the perfect balance. I highly recommend Razzo. Next time I hope to sit at the bar. The price point is great for all homemade food too.

After a slight mishap with the service initially (didn't get greeted in 10 minutes while other tables around us who got there after us got greeted) the rest of the service was good and attentive. The ambiance was cute. It was decorated with old sports photos. Recommend a reservation as it is very small. We had been wanting to try Razzo for quite a while and the food was good! Will say it was a little pricey for what we got. We ordered the Caesar salad which was quite nice. It had a bright and citrusy element which is unique. I really enjoyed the breadcrumb croutons. The pizza was what I was really looking forward to and it didn't disappoint. I saw someone say expect more of a flatbread than a pizza and that is true. The Focaccia bread the pizza was on was excellent though. We ordered the Margarita and the greens (they were out of the funghi) and those are both solid options. The greens was very unique! Glad we checked it out.

I recently tried the pizza at RAZZO, and it was pretty solid. I went for one of their veggie-loaded options, and they definitely didn't skimp on the greens. The toppings were fresh and plentiful--broccoli, spinach, olives, and more--giving the pizza a nice, earthy flavor. The crust was decent, with a good balance between crispy and chewy. The tomato sauce was rich, and the cheese did its job, tying everything together nicely.I also had a Caesar salad on the side, which was a good match for the pizza. The salad was fresh, with a tangy dressing that added some zing, and the croutons provided a nice bit of crunch.Overall, the meal was good--not mind-blowing, but definitely satisfying. If you're in the mood for a pizza with a lot of greens and solid flavors, RAZZO is worth a visit.3.5/5 but rounded up to a 4!

First time trying Razzo and had a great experience. Our waitress was very attentive and gave us the rundown of the menu. The food menu is small, but they have an extensive natural wine list. I believe she mentioned they are the only restaurant in the city to only offer natural wines on their menu, so if that interests you I'd recommend it. She recommended the arancini (risotto balls) and they were delicious. Fried and cheesy. We ordered a large pizza with the house ranch. I loved the pepperoni, my partner preferred the margherita. The pizza has a focaccia base and it is delicious. Somehow soft and crispy at the same time. I absolutely loved it, but I wouldn't say come here if you're specifically wanting pizza. It felt more like a flatbread situation. Still very delicious! Also the house made ranch is great. I'm not someone who typically dips pizza in ranch, but because of how the pizza was cut and how good the ranch was, I recommend trying it. I will say, the reason we picked this place was because of their Instagram presence. We saw some posts and thought this would be a sexy date spot. Though we did enjoy it, that really wasn't the vibe. Because the restaurant is so new, I think they're still trying to find their niche. Seating is limited so make sure to get a reservation. It was also quite pricy. However, I will be sure to come back again and check out their happy hour as well as their brunch.

Had a fantastic meal here with my family that came in town. Started with the focaccia with whipped ricotta and it was delicious. I ordered the pappardelle bolognese and it was really good. The ambiance is very cool in here, will definitely be back.

Great little spot in Pendleton, try the pastas, and ask about the specials. They take reservations but there is usually seating at the bar. Love the atmosphere, especially in the warmer months when the patio is open.
