5 Best Italian Restaurants in Cincinnati, Ohio that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Cincinnati, Ohio — a city where the Ohio River bends like a ribbon of memory, where brick rowhouses and grand old theaters stand shoulder to shoulder with murals blooming on alley walls, where the air is thick with the scent of roasted coffee, chili, and something sweet from the bakery down the block. This is a city stitched together by generations of dreamers and doers — Italian, German, Appalachian, Black, and every shade of newcomer who’s ever chased the promise of a better life along these hills.

Molly Malone's lists its two pubs, other property for sale

The building housing Molly Malone’s Irish Restaurant & Pub in Louisville's Highlands neighborhood is worth a lot of green. The Baxter Avenue fixture, along with the Irish pub's location in Covington and other real estate from the owners of Molly Malone's, are up for sale for a total of $8.2 million, Paul Grisanti, owner of Grisanti Group Commercial Real Estate , told The Courier Journal.
