Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Dayton

Wonderful anniversary at this outstanding restaurant!! My wife and I had not been back to Ringside since COVID. It was so much fun to revisit the superb food and superlative service. We loved we very minute!♥️

We had a wonderful dining experience. From the moment we walked in we could tell the experience would be great. We were quickly provided with a server who provided us with sparkling water and went through the special for this special Sunday meal. We started with bread and whipped butter, the bread was the perfect mix of crunchy and soft. Our entrees came and did not disappoint. My companion loved her pork stuffed cannelonis and my salad was great. We followed up with Affogato Al caffee and a baked pear crumble. Overall we highly recommend Nostrana.

Flavorful display of beautiful South American tapas style cuisine! Wagyu steak tartare, grilled octopus, and Brandt farms flat iron steak were among some of my favorites. The cocktails are delicious and beautifully garnished! I recommend the sangria! We will definitely be back to try the next “what the chef is eating” lineup!

A truly amazing culinary experience. Each course was presented by the Chef as a private tour of his ancestral country side. it was as if we were magically transported to romantically indulge our palates in the hills (and caves) of rural Italy. The wine pairings were a sublime engagement of our senses, elevating the complex layers of wonderful flavors into a chorus of decadent pleasure. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Food was a symphony of delicious taste. If I had to choose I’d say the vegetarian menu was more of a medley of flavors, the winner, but everything was fantastic, the wine was a hit, the staff was informative fun and friendly! Wish I had anything similar in my area. Highly recommend if you have $600 sitting around and love balanced unique seasons.
