- AAndrewNew Orleans / Louisiana •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had an excellent time at Sotto! It was our first time there, and I'll say it was louder than I was expecting considering the ambience, but I'm not complaining about it. The lighting and decor were great. Service was exceptional. The food was some of the best we've had in Cincy. We had the hazlenut bread and the tartare to start. Both were delicious, but the tartare was one of the better ones I've had. The black kale ceasar was the next course and it was great. Then my wife had the short rib pasta and I had the fried pork loin. Both were incredible. The gin cocktail off the vine was unique and a refreshing new twist on a gin cocktail. I'm a bourbon guy, but it was delicious. Then we finished it off with 2 desserts. We had the doughnuts and the chocolate budino. I couldn't decide which one was better, but the pistachio sauce for the doughnuts was another fantastic new experience for us. Highly recommend.More infoSotto$$$$• Italian• Central Business District•4.9
