What's the oldest restaurant in Ohio?

The oldest restaurant (and longest continually operating business in Ohio) is the Golden Lamb, located in the historic and charming town of Lebanon. You can read all about this beloved favorite here; hailing from 1803, it has quite the storied past! In terms of oldest Italian restaurants, Guarino’s Ristorante in Little Italy was established in 1918, making it the oldest Italian restaurant in Cleveland. One of the best restaurants in Ohio, this Cleveland classic has been run by the same family since the beginning, and its history is as noteworthy as its fare. Established just two years prior to Prohibition, the little neighborhood eatery began life as a speakeasy, and was a favorite spot for the Cleveland elite -- and celebrities, with Frank Sinatra among the restaurant's regulars! In terms of cuisine, the recipes are from the Old Country, and feature bright herbs and bold flavors. Guarino's is revered for its lasagna, a family recipe straight from Mama Guarino. This restaurant really has stood the test of time, and is a must-visit when in Forest City!

What are some foods Ohio is well-known for?

Let's see: the Buckeye State is known for a delightful little dessert called a buckeye; this is basically a Reese's cup, but better, because the peanut-butter-to-chocolate filling ratio is perfection. Ohio is also known for Cincinnati chili, a culinary delight that's part soup, part sauce, all deliciousness. Chocolate is the secret ingredient, and Ohioans take their Cincinnati chili labeled atop a mound of spaghetti, and topped with oodles of cheddar cheese! Another only-in-Ohio favorite is goetta, a spicy-sweet breakfast cake made from oats and spiced meats. It's delicious.
