Chicken Parmesan - 8/10 Focaccia with Whipped Ricotta/Olive…read moreOil- 9/10 Review The cutest little spot! Vibes were immaculate on this day with a full restaurant and ~almost full~ patio dining (it was summer!) The pasta was cooked to al-dente perfection and the sauce was sweet, tangy, and seasoned really well. The chicken was well seasoned and crispy. The focaccia was soft inside and had a light crust that was quite enjoyable with the whipped ricotta. Delicious! No indoor seating was available so be sure to make a reservation, especially if you want to sit in the AC during a hot July dinner rush. Parking is available in a small garage or along main street. The service was alright, nothing too special but the waitress was very nice!

My husband and I went to dinner for our 10 year anniversary after a very difficult week for our family, and we were honestly too emotionally drained to make decisions. Our server, Jasmine, kindly took the reins and chose our meal for us -- which turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Every single dish she brought out was phenomenal. We started with the artichokes, arancini, and whipped ricotta -- each one better than the last. Then came the lemon pasta, spicy vodka pasta, shrimp, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal scallopini. Everything was absolutely delicious and clearly made with so much care. By the end we were so full we couldn't even attempt dessert. What made the evening truly special, though, was the kindness of the team. Levi, the GM, went so far out of his way to make us feel cared for and welcomed during a moment when we really needed it. The warmth and compassion we experienced there meant more than I can adequately put into words. Restaurants often talk about hospitality, but the team at Pepp & Dolores truly embodies it. Thanks for an evening we will never forget.

I went to Camporosso expecting the usual "artisan pizza experience," which normally means three…read morethings: 1. Tiny portions 2. Huge prices 3. A waiter who calls water "hydration." Instead, I got something shocking... Actual great pizza!!! The wood-fired crust comes out blistered and charred just enough to whisper, "I went to Italy for a semester and didn't come back with a man bun." It's crispy outside, chewy inside ... the kind of texture that makes you forget every sad, floppy chain pizza you've ever eaten in a strip mall next to a vape store. The toppings? Legit. We're talking San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, hot honey, and fancy meats that sound like they have their own passport. And here's the real shocker: It's not pretentious. Nobody lectures you about "mouthfeel." Nobody asks if you want your pizza "deconstructed." Nobody serves it on a wooden plank shaped like Vermont. It's just seriously good pizza ... the kind that makes you say, "Wow, maybe civilization isn't collapsing after all." And the wood-fired flavor? Smoky, slightly charred, and rich...like it was baked by a Tuscan grandmother who also owns a flamethrower. The owner just showed me their home made pasta dish for the Friday in Lent. Looks amazing!! Thank you Patrick for the tip!!

Love walking down those steps, waiting for your eyes to adjust, while knowing you're somewhere special. Luckily, after not too long of a wait we were seated!! We had the most amazing bartenders, Trevor was fantastic! They all were. We had another absolutely out of this world meal. Love their oil packed tuna, their bistecca fiorentina and the pappardelle al cinghiale!! Unfortunately, we had no room for dessert so we're going to have to go back again to eat more. Haha Oh and we actually tried their Blue Oven bread for the first time and it was incredible. What a fabulous restaurant! So lucky to have it here in Cincinnati! We don't even miss La Normandie anymore!

First time in Cincinnati -- dined at Sotto the evening after the Flying Pig Half…read more I went solo and sat at the bar. The ambiance is intimate and very dim, mostly candlelit. It's a nice vibe, though definitely on the darker side. I ordered the black kale salad, cappellacci (short rib, shallot, thyme), and the branzino. * The kale salad was solid, but a bit heavy on the pecorino. * The cappellacci was decent, though the accompanying elements didn't quite work for me. * The branzino was cooked well, but overall the dish didn't stand out in flavor. In general, the food felt underwhelming for the price. My bill was around $100, and I didn't feel the quality or flavor justified it. Some dishes came across a bit muted -- not sure if that's the intended style, but it didn't land for me. Parking in the area was also a bit inconvenient. Overall: great ambiance, but the food didn't meet expectations for the cost. I probably wouldn't return.

We sampled the wild mushroom and goat cheese ravioli. My favorite as the wild mushroom. The sauce and the texture were perfect and very tasty. The goat cheese samples was coated in a thick sauce that complimented the goat cheese. We ordered the thick and crusty bread that was served with a pesto and herb butter. I would have liked plain butter in addition to the pesto butter. The bread was warm and precut which made it easy to tear and enjoy. He got the short rib & shrimp tortellini. The serving was extremely generous and filling. He liked his meal a lot. I had the grilled salmon with goat cheese ravioli and asparagus with a lemon butter sauce. My meal was piping hot and the portion was generous. My salmon was perfectly prepared and I enjoyed the goat cheese ravioli in the lighter lemon butter sauce. We started with a cocktail. Him the small batch old fashioned which he liked and I had the dry champagne split. Excellent serving sizes. We loved the ambiance and our server Brandy was excellent. Very familiar with the menu and gave us good feedback as we made our decisions. Jimmy gave us an outstanding tour and shared the history of the home and some of the interesting things about the beautiful home. We will definitely dine here again. We loved it.

It was quite crowded and loud the whole time. Our service was very slow. As for the food I was not impressed. We got both ravioli duos to start and they did not give us the correct ones. They gave us two of the same kinds. They did fix this for us but it still took a while to come out. We did get the short rib nachos which was fine but nothing special. For dinner we got the chicken parmesan which had a weird flavor to it. It was a strange taste and I did not finish it. The pasta under was with alfredo and not red sauce which was weird they would pair these together. The alfredo was very bland. We also got the cacio e pep shrimp and added salmon. They forgot to put any shrimp in the dish and when they brought it on the side after it was only 3 pieces of shrimp and looked very sad. To finish the night we got the tiramisu. It had no coffee flavor at all and was filled with only the mascarpone cream. There was little lady fingers at all. In my opinion I would not come back. The service was not up to par and I was left hungry and disappointed. I am sad to leave a review like this. The price of our meal was not worth the value and service we received.

It's still awesome till this day! My Mr has never been here so he booked a reservation surprise for my 50th birthday (9 friends were invited). When you walk in, it takes you back in time.

This is a family restaurant passed down from generations. And been here for over 70 years! Now that's respect! Omg! The menu is super huge! You better come here with an empty stomach because you will get what you pay for. They have everthing Italian you can think of. Except for pizza. Me and my Mr ordered: Bottle of Banfi Centine Toscana Rosso Spaghetti ala pasquale Canneloni lombardi You get a side salad and Minestrone with your meal. The food was on point!
