    Always love Nolia. This time we particularly enjoyed the Ba Kri Twa, the chicken gizzards, cornbread, duck breast, and ooey gooey. Really unique cuisine for Cincinnati, and such a friendly, warm atmosphere.

    My mom and I tried Nolia Kitchen for the first time and were very pleased with everything! Our server was amazing and the food was insanely delicious. Each item prepared with love. You can tell they are very prideful in what they offer and serve. Such a cute and quaint space. I loved the exposed kitchen as well. Highly recommend!

    Always fantastic. The lambs neck was so tender and juicy a first time for me. Ooey gooey cake is great, as well. People are so nice, too

    Heard the food was good but was skeptical. The hype is real. Portions were perfect. So much thought and preparation behind every dish. Heard menu changes about every 90 days so can’t wait to come back in the spring.

    The dinner was delicious! Starting with the delicate sashimi which was very fresh and had a buttery texture. Next the five whole different colored carrots were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented and the gizzards were tender and tasty with the chimichurri sauce. The lamb neck was huge (easily enough for 2 people) and perfectly cooked with a crispy crust and tender flavorful meat underneath. The duck breast was also perfectly cooked a nice medium rare with a tasty sauce sauce. Our server Cole was friendly, attentive and enthusiastic. Altogether a great experience!

    Excellent from top to bottom. Love small restaurants with an open kitchen. At Nolia you feel like you are at a friend’s house talking and watching food being prepared.

    Treat yourself to this gem of a restaurant in Over the Rhine. Off the beaten path but definitely worth the find! The food was excellent and the service was spot on. The noise level was manageable but lively. A small restaurant so definitely get reservations. We thought all the appetizers were outstanding. The presentation of the peanut soup was fun to watch and better to eat. The dumplings and the hen were both delicious. The cocktails were creative and the wine we had paired perfectly with the dishes.
