Americano Burger Bar is now open on the ground floor of the 84.51 building at 545 Race St. Cincinnati’s hottest burger joint and bar is the third venue from Chef Cristian & Amanda Pietoso. They opened FORNO Osteria & Bar in Hyde Park earlier this year and it has been named one of the top new restaurants of 2015. Americano is quickly becoming a favorite, and Via Vite on Fountain Square has been a staple of Italian food since 2007.

America is a country like no other—an eclectic mix of cultures and traditions. It’s a melting pot of ideas and a celebration of what makes us all different, but yet very much the same. Inspired by this rich heritage, Americano Burger Bar has taken American staples we all love, and elevated them with international flavors from around the world. Their slogan is simple, ‘Beer, Burger, Fries, Repeat.’ Chef Cristian Pietoso says, “People ask me, as an Italian, will I put my own spin on the burger? I won’t. It needs to be what it is,” he said. “At the same time, what is American food? It’s really a collage of so many things.”

The burgeoning lunch crowds are a sign that Americano is already a hit. On any night a steady crowd enjoys the shuffleboard, Foosball tables and the extensive craft beer selection. Simon Pelkey, General Manager, says they are already adding more tables and preparing the outdoor patio ahead of schedule to handle the volume. Americano is one of the few late night options downtown. Their kitchen is open until midnight most nights and 2am on the weekends. Visit www.AmericanoBurgerBar.com
