The beautiful 130 seat restaurant designed by MSA Architects is located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati at the corner of Fifth and Race Streets on the ground floor of the 84.51 Building.

    Outstanding food and service. Vegetable plates of jicama/mango salad and tostadas were both delightful. Bread also fun. Service attentive but not overbearing. Can’t wait to go again.

    Absolutely fabulous food. I had the sliders and they were the best little burgers I've ever had. The desserts will send you straight to heaven.

    Our waitress really invested in our party, who was celebrating the recent wedding of one of the couples. She made sure they had a desert with candles and that she wished them well on their honeymoon in Italy, remembering what we talked about when we got there before the couple. She was patient and very helpful.

    Great food in a relaxed atmosphere. So many restaurants are LOUD but Mita's noise level is moderate, we could easily carry on a conversation with each other and our server. The food comes out as it is prepared so we could take our time working thru the dishes. They were delicious, our server was helpful with suggestions. The drinks were wonderful, too.
