Perfect place to celebrate my birthday! Cannot wait to return. Thanks so much

First time at Sotto for our 10-year anniversary. It was a little too dark, but everything else was amazing. The food is spectacular and the service is superb. We hope to get a reservation to get to go again.

Everything was phenomenal. Sat at the bar by myself while I waited for my fiancé to get off work nearby. Service was absolutely flawless even with an entire bar top and every table in the lounge full at the time. You can tell the staff are true professionals and used to that kind of volume. Service from my beautiful, bubbly bartenders Shannon and Annie was top-notch. There was also a handsome young man named Tylan who always made sure my water was full and cracked a few jokes to keep a smile on my face. If you’re in the mood for a delicious steak, a nice glass of wine, and some incredible customer service, look no further than The Precinct

This is the 4th Jeff Ruby’s I’ve been to even though I lived here. Since I was local, I always frequented Jags. This restaurant is a great one. Everything was amazing, except for the crab bisque. I’d give it a well deserved 5. The Brûlée old fashioned was outstanding. The lobster and filet roll was amazing!!! The sea bass was first class!! The asparagus and Ann potatoes were great!!! Jeff Ruby’s is know for excellence and this one hosted by Erin did not disappoint!!!

This was a charming Italian restaurant in the OTR district of Cincy. There is no dedicated parking but street parking wasn’t difficult to find or there is a public lot across the street for $8. Once inside, the restaurant is cheery and welcoming. We were seated in the basement, which has a speakeasy type vibe, no windows, dark paneling, and a bar. The upstairs dining room seems airy and bright and there is a nice section of outdoor seating as well. We ordered the Dunk for the table which was delicious! For dinner, we had the Sunday Sauce, the Limone, and the Vegan pasta. All were good but the notables were the pork shoulder in the Sunday Sauce and the Limone was a surprisingly light dish with just a hint of Mayer Lemon which balanced nicely with the rich creaminess of the sauce. Additionally, the service was excellent! Darla was our waitress and was ever attentive to the needs of the table. Always there to refill water glasses as they emptied and to replace silverware that fell on the floor (we had a 2 yo with us). Would definitely eat here again on future trips to Cincy!
