   The food was good and the ambience was great. The noise level is a little loud. The server was not good. She was extremely pushy and impatient. It was very clear she wanted to go home so she kept trying to rush us and was constantly in our space and kept trying to take our plates out from under us and brought things when we weren’t done with the previous course. I could understand if we had been sitting there for hours, but we were seated right on time our entire experience lasted one hour. We brought friends who had never been before and we were hoping for a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but her behavior was rude and it unfortunately negatively impacted our experience.

   The best Italian food I’ve ever had! The short rib is amazing and you HAVE to try the donuts for dessert.

   They exceeded my expectations. All of the hype on this restaurant made me a little nervous going. I did not expect it to live to the hype. They mastered even the simplest of things like garlic bread. I could eat that bread for breakfast it was so good. The pasta is outstanding. The donuts we amazing

   Food was amazing. Everything was so good. I wish I had the room to try more things. Our server was so friendly and so knowledgeable about everything even though she had ony worked here about a month. I was celebrating my birthday and don't think I could have made a better choice.

    The reservations are worth the wait! Sotto is a special gem in Cincinnati. With the dim lighting and rustic intimate atmosphere, it’s a super sexy place. The service is impeccable, all the staff is super attentive and wants each guest to have an experience rather than just a nice meal. The food is a 10/10 and as authentic as it can get. 1000000/10 recommend. I will be back as soon as I can.

    Every single thing about this dinner was amazing! Our server Molly was amazing. She was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive but not overwhelming, and offered great suggestions. The dinner was spaced out perfectly. It never felt rushed and we never were wondering when the next course was coming out next. Finally, the food was absolutely amazing. No detail is left unnoticed. We loved every single one our dishes. Our server even brought out a complementary dessert for our anniversary. Highly recommend!!

    While the food was a bit hit or miss (a lot of seasoning and salt but otherwise beautifully plated and cooked well), the service was absolutely the best I’ve had in a long time. Our server Paxton was just delightful. He was warm and knowledgeable, which really helped us feel comfortable. Corey, the general manager, was so so sweet. She was very attentive throughout the meal, as was everyone in the restaurant. From Paxton, Corey, to the woman who dropped off our first course, to the gentleman who dropped off our second, to those that helped clear our plates, everyone seemed genuinely interested in our experience and happy to be there. It was a breath of fresh air. It’s truly wonderful to come to a restaurant where it is clear that they take pride in what they do and where they work. I will absolutely be back when I can. They made our “Mom’s night out” such a great experience. As a side note, the ambiance there is next-level. I’ve never been to a restaurant that made me feel like I’m in a completely different place. The dim lights, brick, candlelight and decorative pieces were stunning. Just beautiful. It could definitely be a good backdrop for a romantic evening, but it made it cozy and warm for two good friends as well. Thank you to the staff at Sotto for providing such a great experience. Felt like fine dining, without the pretension or the astronomical price tag. Definitely worth the visit.

    If you aren’t paying attention you will walk right past it. The setting is so cool and unique. We were seated at a table for two and immediately greeted by our server. He was amazing. Totally on top of it and answers every question we had. He explained any menu questions we had and helped make recommendations. We shred everything and had the goat cheese bread appetizer, the short rib pasta, the pork loin, and the donuts. Everything was absolutely amazing and delicious. If you can score a reservation don’t miss out on Sotto.

    Worth the hype. Yum. The experience and food is stellar. Our server was amazing. Even the people that are just bringing your food knows the food at Sottos (for example mixing the sauces for the donuts to kick the flavors up to the next level). Each food menu wow’d us and we were blown away. Definitely worth the wait

    Sotto continues to uphold its reputation as a premier restaurant in Cincinnati. This is because the atmosphere, service, food quality, food execution and wine/cocktail offerings are performed & delivered with excellence, deliberation and careful management. Menu dishes are authentic. While some offerings are trusted favorites, the diner can always look forward to new & interesting options as well. One example is the Vitello. This new antipasti was a dish tasted in Northern Italy by the chef- then brought back to Cincinnati. It is a succulent combination of fried capers, pickled peppers and shaved veal. As for some favorites that stand the test of time, try wood fired Brazino, Cacio e Pepe, or Breaded Pork Loin with lemon caper sauce. There is much more to this wonderful restaurant than I can write here. We are regulars here and it always feels like a treat to eat here! This is a restaurant not to be missed and always to look forward to!
