    We came in as a party of six on a Friday night. We were celebrating two family birthdays and had requested a table with a view. We were so happy with our seating, it was gorgeous. The food and the service were absolutely the best. Everyone ordered something different, and all were clearly enjoying their meals. I cannot recommend Prima Vista enough for a fine dining experience in Cincinnati. Grazie, grazie mille!
