Rodi Italian 115 Karl Brown Way, Loveland, OH 45140

"I went on Valentine’s Day since my wife loves Italian food. We had both never been before. First off, I’ll start with our service and waitress were fantastic. Once we ordered our food it didn’t take long to get which again was a plus. However, the food was not great at all. It was bland and I’ve had better tasting Italian food from chain restaurants. For the price of the meals I was expecting great flavors and a wow factor, but both myself and wife were extremely disappointed. Unfortunately, we both left feeling unimpressed in the quality of the food."

"There were four of us dining this time and the noise level seemed to be much better! We arrived for our Friday night reservation and were seated immediately. Our server, Tabitha, was wonderful and attentive. We tried more of the dishes that we didn't try the first time around, and had two bottles of the lovely Pieropan Soave. We were served a lovely amuse bouche to start that was some mild blue cheese rice upon a crisp with fresh herbs. Nice touch. Here is what we thought: Burrata Tartufata - Beautiful, generous portion of creamy burrata with a fresh arugula, cherry tomato, and olive oil and balsamic accompaniment. Very classic Italian. Tortino - a souffle of mushroom with melted cheese. This was unexpectedly delicious and unique. It was so good that I will try to recreate it at home! Spaghetti Vongole - spaghetti with clams and shrimp. It was cooked perfectly, however there was not enough shrimp and lacked sauce and some flavor. Still enjoyable. Gnocchi - very authentic potato gnocchi that just needed a little seasoning and more sauce. Not our favorite, but our guests liked it. Amatriciana - we are not a fan of bucatini pasta, so we requested spaghetti. For a simple preparation, this dish was the best pasta dish we had all night. Both of our beef dishes were fantastic: Ten Hour Short Rib - we would order over and over! The short rib was seasoned and cooked to perfection. It was meaty, not fatty, and a nice portion. Ribeye Special - bone in, perfectly cooked and seasoned steak. The mashed potatoes were also yummy, and the broccolini, which is usually not our favorite, had a light dressing of some kind that brightened it and changed my mind about broccolini. The creme brulee was just okay. The creme was good, it just tasted like the torch gas a little on top. Rodi had is it going on for sure. So glad we can eat wonderful Italian without having to go all the way downtown."

"Revisit. The food was amazing! Service, drinks, and atmosphere were all good. Cozy vibe and comfortable booths. We had a mix of dishes and drinks. Highly recommended."

"Definitely 5star! Everything on menu was fresh! So man good choices I’ll be back! Truffle mushrooms, pasta was my favorite, along with an fig old fashion"

"We drove from Dayton to celebrate my birthday. The food did not disappoint. Margarita pizza was authentic. I highly recommend. We sat on the patio. The view was beautiful and enjoyed watching kayaks floating down the river. The bar drinks were excellent. We will return."
