Bocce, a strategic ball sport, is based on one of the oldest diversions known to man - throwing something at a target. The game of bocce we play today, safely, does not involve throwing rocks and large stones but rather has elements of bowling and horseshoes. With a history dating before the Roman Empire the game of bocce, a tradition in most Italian households, has been played by our own Italian family since our fore fathers immigrated to Cincinnati.In 1991, to pay tribute, we enclosed the southwest corner of our parking lot and built two regulation sized bocce courts with a patio area and bar.

History
Report
Electric trolleys no longer click-clack past the front door, nor do stagnant spittoons rest beneath the bar's front rail, but for over a century customers have been frequenting the establishment known, since 1933, as Pompilio's. In 1902 the bar and adjacent dining room looked very similar to what we see today.
The Wiedemann Connection
Report
The George Wiedemann Brewing Company was founded in 1890 and at one time was the largest brewery in the Southeast producing over 100,000 barrels a year. Its headquarters and Brewery were located in the West end of Newport, approximately five blocks west of the restaurant. The George Wiedemann Brewing Company for most of its history was the largest employer and land owner in the city of Newport.
