Cincinnati's culinary scene has landed on The Infatuation —  an outlet dedicated to providing expert restaurant recommendations — in an article titled "The Best Restaurants in Cincinnati." As the headline suggests, it highlights the region as a standout dining destination, praising everything from our iconic chili parlors to innovative, chef-driven concepts.

"Cincinnatians root for the home team, whether it’s the Reds or the restaurants. In both cases, a turnaround can lift the whole city’s mood," writer Jed Portman says in the intro. "Over the past decade, the downtown area, especially the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood, has seen an explosion of restaurant and bar openings, bringing a new energy to the city's dining scene. Now, the rest of the country seems to be waking up to what locals have known for a while now: Greater Cincinnati—including Northern Kentucky, just across the river from downtown—is a world-class place to eat. Each of these restaurants is a reason why."

Visitors can experience local classics at Skyline Chili, elevated dining at Salazar, and creative newcomers like Wildweed and Nolia—all within an easy, affordable, and vibrant region that spans both Ohio and Northern Kentucky.

Featured restaurants include: Skyline Chili, Salazar, Wildweed, Mid-City Restaurant, Phoenician Taverna, Saint Francis Apizza, Nolia, Price Hill Chili, Amma's Kitchen, Sudova, The Precinct, Cafe Mochiko, Herb & Thelma's Tavern, The Pickled Pig, Sotto, The Baker's Table, Abigail Street, Kiki, Tuba Baking Co., Oriental Wok.
