Pompilio's is a great place for dining in Newport, Kentucky. Last October my sister and brother-in-law took us there. Not only was it very good Italian food but great service. The price was right also. My sister and brother-in-law paid for the meal. The prices are just right for good Italian cooking. If back in the Cincy area will return... More

The staff are always pleasant. I have brought many friends there and they love the food. I like the eggplant parmesan. My son likes the Ronaldo and the good-sized wings.

During a visit to the Cincy area over Easter weekend my wife, daughter, and I decided to take a trip across the river and try this Italian restaurant based on a personal recommendation - we were not disappointed. We were advised to get there before 6:00 PM on Saturday to minimize the wait for a table, and this worked out... More

Pompilios is a place to go when you are hungry - portions are quite ample and the food is prepared to your desire. The spaghetti sauce is excellent with just the right amount of spice. The bolonaise is exceptional and my husband has compared the cannoli with other italian places - it gets the top rating. Sure - an occasional... More

Husband and I went for dinner Saturday night.....about 8:15. Very busy, very crowded....but we love old places with character----and this one fit the bill. Luckily grabbed one of the few tables in the bar area to sit and wait (almost an hour), but enjoyed a drink and great feel of the place. Server was elderly woman who was very attentive... More

This was our 1st visit to the restaurant. My husband was interested in going because of the movie Rain Man being filmed here. We got here about 15 minutes after the restaurant opened. We came into the front door and found several of the staff sitting at a table smoking. I was VERY grateful when one of the employees stood... More

The food is wonderful here and you will get plenty to eat. We have been there a couple of times and the service always leaves me angry. I do not enjoy paying to eat somewhere where I am treated like they are doing me a favor by serving me. My last visit on Saturday will be my last visit ever.... More

The beautiful antique bar and old world atmosphere is outstanding.The pasta is homemade as well as sauces and the wonderful bread.Great place to watch "the game" during the winter months. During the summer there is a great outside eating area. You... More

Pompilio's is a superb Italian eatery! The food is incredible, the staff attentive, and has the 'neighborhood' feel. Once you find make sure you have a big appetite, and be prepared to a feast. It is one location worth taking time to find.

Have been here numerous times, and most of the time it was very pleasant, good food, and good service. However, stay away on weekends, long waits, lots of rudeness from the owners, as they do not sit you in order, they take people they know and leave you waiting. We ended up leaving and going to another restaurant on that... More
