"Went during a weekday with reservations for four. Seated on time. There is no server, you order at the counter or from the app. Slightly off putting to not have some walk you through the menu or readily answer questions. Eating out is a time to put away your phone not pick them up and be a part of the experience to me. The food was absolutely amazing. I shared and tried with all my friends. The meatballs having an unexpected spice was great. The pumpkin filled pasta was like a dessert dish. Everything was flavorful and made perfectly. The menu selections and choices are limited. The wine and drinks were well priced. I tried three of the desserts and would stick with paradise. Overall great experience. Not a huge fan of there service."

"Best fresh pasta in Ohio! I was so surprised there is such a wonderful pasta shop in Dayton! Every dish was truly delicious. The texture of the pasta was spot on and the seasoning was phenomenal. The service was really nice. I highly recommend this restaurant to you!"

"We had our company Christmas party at Grist and I cannot recommend it enough. The food was exquisite. We had the focaccia, meatballs, and kale salad for appetizers and the beef and polenta, mushroom risotto, and bolognese for the mains. The service was top notch and they took great care of us. Thank you Grist team!"

"Great unpretentious cafe bar that serves dinner until 9pm. Small menu of mostly pasta, but the quality is top-notch 🙌 Rosemary focaccia bread is good, even though the 1/2 portion is too much for one person! Overall a perfect last night meal in Dayton, highly recommended 👌"

"Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. We were lucky enough to also meet Casey, an owner, who had worked in multiple Michelin Star restaurants (which is quite apparent by the amazing cuisine). Yet not a speck of pretentiousness in the establishment. Showcasing a ridiculous amount of talent, a true connoisseur of everything epicurean, a genuine interest in the clientele & beautifully presented culinary delights. Unbelievable food with a changing menu, wonderful atmosphere, kind & informative personnel, delicious wine - simply off the charts. Fresh bread and pasta made in house of which are absolutely beautiful and crazy delicious. Run, don’t walk… then sit, relax & enjoy. We certainly did."
