In college, we ate a lot of Papa Dinos….now I can’t bring myself to go in there. Really good pizza is Pomadori. Ambar India is the best Indian in town. And, Chicago Gyro! Other than this weekends’ Greek Festival, that is the best gyro in town!! There used to be grinders subs…they’re gone.

La Bodega in oxford has a sandwich called The Dina….i recommend it on a croissant. Smoked turkey, provolone, sprouts, basil mayonnaise. La Bodega is owned by a Dean and Di, the orneriest mom and pop i’ve ever witnessed.

I loved Funky’s potato soup. There’s a “new” old spaghetti factory off of 275– Forest Park-ish? I loved eating in the kilns at Rookwood Pottery. We have had drinks at Arthur’s– I think I may have had a meal there with a date once upon a time, don’t remember– but we’ll have to try it.

My college gal and I liked the Diner on Sycamore but it's gone now. We also liked the burgers at Rookwood Pottery which were named after local people/things (Idaburger, Erkenbreckerburger, Inclineburger, etc.). That restaurant is also gone.

We loved the Old Spaghetti Factory. Also gone. And Funky's Grill in the Kenwood Towne Centre. Gone.

Hurry up and go to Arthur's because if my hunch is right it'll be closing soon.

Elizabeth– Young’s tiramisu gelato is to die for. That is all.

Elizabeth–Julie and I visit Yellow Springs a couple of times a year. We’ll definitely check out Ha-Ha. And I agree…ice cream is the perfect dessert after pizza.

As a Wittenberg (Springfield, OH) grad, we used to make day trips up to Yellow Springs to eat at Ha Ha Pizza. Tons of unique toppings. Doesn’t appear that they have a website, but if you Google it, reviews & info will pop up. My personal fav: the garlic pizza (full cloves of garlic)!

And then it’s a must to visit Young’s Jersey Dairy afterwords for ice cream. Ya just can’t beat it!

5chw4r7z–I doubt that I’ll get to Youngstown this summer, but The Beat sounds great. I love independent coffee places that do really good light fare.

mrsmous–I’d like to try Myra’s. Julie says the place keeps odd hours. I’ll check it out, though.

melafina–Cilantro is definitely on the list.

MrsMous, is it just me, or are they ALWAYS on vacation?
