Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week (#GCRWeek) started today. Restaurant week consists of restaurants offering specially selected 3-course dinner menus with a price point of $35 for one or two guests. We found ourselves across the river over in Newport this evening, and decided to kick-off our Restaurant Week with some amazing Italian cuisine at Pompolio’s…

We sat in Colonel Pomp’s Tavern so we could watch some of the Reds game…

ps. They lost.

Apparently, I was sitting in the Commish’s Chair…

We wondered if Tom Selleck was going walk into the bar, stop, look at us and give us one of his classic disapproving sighs. We each started with a house salad…

The house Italian dressing was incredible. Genifer ordered the cheese tortellini. And I had the chicken parmigiano…

Really enormous portions…

Chicken parm you taste so good…

Incredibly delicious stuff. The leftovers were just as delicious for lunch on Tuesday…

And finally, we shared this gigantic tiramisu for dessert…

Delicious stuff. And all for just $35! It was a great start to our Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week! 🙂
