    Waited on our 7 pm reservation for about 30 minutes in a cramped area between the door and bar. Food was good, but not amazing, and pretty pricey. Probably wouldn’t go back as there are far more superior restaurants in our area.

    When I booked reservations, the only available time was early evening because of the holiday. The staff was fabulous in confirming if we had any food allergies or time restrictions for the service. Our food was delicious and served quickly. Every thing was superb and the portions were adequate without being too much. I would definitely return!

    Outstanding in every way. Each dish we ordered (the butter service, raviole, steak frites, Icelandic cod, profiterole dessert) was perfect. Our server T was top tier, and the ambience was impeccable. Top 3 meals I’ve ever had in Ohio

    First time here being a long time Sotto fan and it did not disappoint. Highlights were, everything? Bluefin Tuna Crudo, Carrot Salad, Ravioli and steak were all beyond outstanding.

    Colette is our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. This was our second visit and we love every part of the meal. Bread service, carrot salad, duck, Icelandic cod, and rice pudding. Both main courses are as good as you can get outside of Iceland and Beijing
