This place goes down as one of the best restaurants I have ever been to in my entire life. My friends went here for a friends birthday tonight, and we were completely blown away at how fantastic this place really was. The service was superb; the waiters and waitresses were on point. They were knowledgeable about the menu, they were really good about suggesting items, and they never let your drink run dry. For a restaurant that I would consider fancy, you really do get your moneys worth at this restaurant. I had the pork Parmesan over spaghetti and it was about $30 for the entree. I didn't even eat half of it and was completely stuffed. It is so much food for the price that you pay. If you were ever in OTR in Cincinnati, you definitely should check this place out, you will not be disappointed! read more

This is was second time dining at Losanti and I can tell it will not be the last. I was able to make a last minute reservation for Thursday night and was met with the same wonderful service and delicious food as I had experienced my first visit. Tonight I opted for the Kale Caesar salad, Brussels Sprouts, and the fries with aioli. read more

We've been to restaurants with bad service, but Losanti gives new meaning to the words. The food was OK, but by the time we got it, it should have been breakfast, not dinner! We were told it was being "plated", and it arrived at our table 30 minutes later. I guess they were plating it in northern Kentucky. We will not be returning. read more

This place is absolutely incredible. I found them on Yelp and decided to take my boyfriend there for his birthday dinner. We got the Focaccia for an appetizer and it was so good. Easily could've eaten 3 of those. We both got cocktails which were excellent. For entrees we got the bolognese and the New York strip with bearnaise sauce and shared the truffle Mac and cheese. Words cannot describe how delicious the food was! My boyfriend couldn't stop talking about how good the sauce was and my jaw literally dropped when I tasted the Mac and cheese. Honestly god bless this place. It was easily one of the best meals I've ever had. Also our waitress was awesome! Very nice and helpful. read more

The kale Caesar salad is great to share to start off the meal. The truffle Mac is unreal - highly recommend! We had an issue with my steak but the owner fixed it and made it right which is the only reason for my 4 stars instead of 5. If you can only get one thing get their butter cake - OMG!! I finished it for breakfast the next day & it was just as great. read more

I waffled between three and four stars. Went to Losanti for dinner. We had reservations. As in many OTR restaurants the space is tight, especially when accounting for Covid restrictions. We were seated after a 10 minute wait. Unfortunately the not-so-good part was our table was located in a narrow hallway directly intersecting another hallway leading to the kitchen and restrooms. It appeared the table was placed in a spot not originally designated for dining. The distractions from people continually brushing past and the lack of lighting made the meal less than memorable. Hence, the three stars. The good part, the food was tasty and arrived in a timely manner, and service was good. If we go back, I'll remember not to accept that table. read more

This is a very difficult review to leave. I made reservations at Losanti's after many glowing recommendations to celebrate my birthday with my family. When going to a restaurant for a celebration, I am looking for an entire experience, great food, great service, and great atmosphere. We arrived and were greeted by friendly staff and immediately sat my family at our table. Alex our server was quick to visit to take our drink order and explain the menu which included requesting all our courses to be ordered at once to allow them the ability to properly serve each one without lag to us, love that idea! We ordered an appetizer of a dozen oysters, sides and our entrees. I was super excited to try my prime filet mignon, medium rare. I was especially excited because in the menu, Losanti includes the disclaimer "we are not responsible for well done steaks". I knew I was going to have a beautifully cooked steak. Oyster took a little while to arrive, Alex apologized for the delay and advised they take extra time to prepare. Totally fine, once they arrived, they were PERFECT, super flavorful and perfectly shucked. Then our entrees and sides arrived. Everything looked fantastic. My prime filet mignon, Oscar style looked gorgeous, I was so excited to dig in. I cut in to it and the steak was cooked WELL DONE. I sat looking at my steak puzzled for a moment, how had that happened? When Alex stop over to check out how our food turned out, he immediately saw they had incorrectly cooked the steak, apologized and removed my dish so the kitchen could remake my steak. I ate some sides while my family tucked into their entrees. Sides were good and I snagged a bite from my husband's NY Strip, cooked medium, that was tasty. And then everyone was finished with their entrees and my replacement streak hadn't arrived yet. Finally it arrived during the time period I had stepped away from the table with my daughter. And yes, this time when I cut into it, it was cooked perfectly medium rare. Unfortunately, it was 30 minutes later than it should have been and my family was already finished with their meals. Kristie, assuming a manager, stopped by the confirm everything was okay and to apologize for the delay. And during this time Alex would pop over briefly to check to ensure we still had enough water. Once I fished my steak, we closed out the meal with a butter cake order, told was the #1 dessert item. This jived with the social media posts of this dish being everywhere. I assumed it was baked to order as it took almost 15 minutes from the time we orders for it to arrive, yet the cake was room temperature, so not sure why the lag time. By the time it arrived, it was 7:15p and we were seated at 5p. My family was ready to go my husband requested the bill which was promptly brought over and after some debate, we did leave a 20% tip. There are a myriad of people responsible for ensuring a meal is prepared correctly for guests. As a whole the staff was friendly throughout our meal and the food was good, but as we walked out of the restaurant, having just paid over $400 for a meal that was supposed to be a fun celebration, my husband and I just felt deflated. Because of the issue with my steak not being cooked properly, and the long delay to get a replacement, what would have been a really great experience became a long disappointment. The enjoyment of the meal was killed and when you spend that much money for a meal it should include enjoyment. What began as a greatly anticipated birthday celebration meal, ended with "we chose poorly on restaurant selection", and our first visit to Losanti was also our last. read more

COVID-19 UPDATE (05.23.2020) Ventured out to Losanti for our first meal out in three months. Losanti is doing it right: all staff in masks, disposable menus, social distancing maintained in their dining rooms. Great meal! Hospitality from Anthony Sitek and staff was very much appreciated! We felt safe, well cared for and full at the end of the meal! *********** Losanti is a great steakhouse option In Cincinnati -- especially if you don't want to leave OTR. Several aspects just aren't available anywhere else in Cincinnati. I feel like Chef Anthony Sitek is in his element and maybe freed from constraints he felt at Crown Republic. Touch of genius: me squeezing charred lemon and roasted garlic over my filet before pouring on a ramekin of bernaise. Not a traditional bernaise either, but every bit as flavorful. Chef Sitek recommends a medium-rare temp for his steak, and a diner hesitates: he's been let down by too many other Cincy chefs before. Sitek persists and delivers. The med-rare filet is melt-in-your-mouth tender despite the cliche. The wedge comes thumbs up from this diner's wife, and the potatoes -- the color is a little off -- but that's because they're Yukon Gold and aren't the tasteless pearly white many restaurants serve -- are wonderful. Just the right amount of charred onions mixed in lift this dish above the typical mash or garlic mash Looking forward to our return trip and more read more

So fun having our team's holiday dinner at Losanti. We loved the slow roasted giant meatballs. The charred broccoli was probably the best we have had. The truffle mac and cheese was the perfect side for the perfectly charred filet mignon. We will definitely be back! read more

My trip to Losanti was most certainly one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We went there on a Friday 9/30, for my partner's birthday dinner and had made reservations almost a month in advance. We got there a few minutes before our reservation and were told that our table will be ready shortly so we decided to wait outside. We ended up having to wait outside for around 20 minutes and after I went back in to check, the host seemed to have forgotten about our table. We eventually got a seat at the bar, and were again told our table would be ready shortly. It took 20 odd minutes but we did finally get our table. The worst part of the night however was how much time it took for the food to arrive, or in the case of our entrees, they never arrived. The drinks order was wrong (I had ordered a straight bourbon, but I was given a cocktail). We were told by the staff that there was a computer issue, but we ordered a salad, pasta and steaks together, out of which the salad arrived on time but nothing else did. I had to check several times to see where our food was, and after around 2 hours from our original reservation time, we were told that our steak and pasta order was never sent. Once again, the staff tried to pin this on an issue with the computers. All this while we saw several other patrons be seated and get their food fairly quickly. We finally decided to walk out at 9:30 (the reservation was for 7:15) and just as we were leaving, the manager said our food was ready and tried to convince us to stay, but we'd had enough, or rather not nearly enough. The establishment comped us for the drinks, and gave us the food in to-go boxes, but the 2+ hours we spent there pretty much ruined what should have otherwise been a great evening. read more

The service was amazing. Becca was a wonderful server. Very attentive. However the food wasn't worth the price. The filet still had chunk of fat all around it. A filet for that price should have been trimmed better. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Losanti. I say experience because it truly felt like a dining event more than just eating a dinner. Some of my favorite menu items were the burrata, oysters, mussels, eggplant parmesan, and the New York strip steak. The burrata was a splendid combination of flavors and was a perfect appetizer to our meal. The eggplant Parmesan was listed as a side dish, but honestly it could be an entree in my opinion. The steak was cooked exactly to our specifications and had an amazing flavor. Our waiter was friendly, and he was able to answer all of our questions in great detail. The service was impeccable the entire meal and we never had to wait for anything that we wanted. I will definitely return for a special date night or a nice night out with friends. read more

Amazing dinner experience! My parents and I came on a Friday early evening with reservations and I appreciate the spacing inside the restaurant considering our current Covid situation. Server was attentive and very informative when we were deciding what to order. My parents enjoyed the oysters and we also got a focaccia to share (yummy and enough to take half home for the next day). Had the kale Cesar salad, highly recommend. Ordered the strip and filet, and when there was a mix up with our order, it was comped and fixed right away. Steaks were prepared perfectly and were so tender, also had the mashed potatoes as a side (great for shafting). Dessert- we had the salted caramel gelato, such a generous serving and definitely hit my sweet tooth. I will be back when I'm looking for a fancy meal or for a night out! read more

The food was as good as I remembered from our first visit but the service was not. It was slow. Steaks are generous and good cuts, the truffle Mac and cheese is phenomenal, and wedge salad and dressing is also very good but I would not eat dinner in the bar area again. If you sit at the bar, the service appeared to be fine. If you sit at a high top, you are an afterthought. Our server appeared to be assisting at the bar as well as managing the front of the house and they neglected our table. Customers who sat in the regular dinning areas and had dedicated servers, appeared to have more attentive service. We were apologized to and thanked mul times for our patience but if you have to say it more than once, you are certainly testing my patience. Again, the food is good and my first experience with the service on the patio was very good. I would just avoid sitting in the bar area. read more

An absolute pleasure to have been able to wiggle in last minute and grab a reservation. First time in Cincy and this restaurant will make me book a flight again. The pasta pictured is bursting with flavor. The steak was cooked med rare to perfection. Don't pass up the gems salad. Our eyes were bugger than our stomachs for dessert but we still ordered and finished half. Tip if you're a group of 4 tge butter cake feeds 4 just needs one more scoop of gelato. read more

Losanti was an all around great meal and atmosphere. Drinks-check. Apps and steaks- delicious. Wedge salad was standout and had x level factor with eggs and pork belly on top. Service was very good and paced out our evening nicely, keeping our drinks and stomachs full. On the night we went (Wednesday) they was a $15 wine bottle special. Go hungry and taste your way through the menu tapas style. Went here as one of our first "post covid" meals and staff and restaurant were respectful. Diners were spread out and staff took precautions to make sure we were comfortable. There is an outdoor patio in open space that I recommend in good weather. 10/10 can't wait to go back to try more on the menu! read more

Losanti was a 2020 favorite and I can't wait to get back. The food was absolutely delicious. The portions were large and I was delighted by everything I ate. The presentation of the food and drinks was also fantastic. My friend and I loved catching up in the adorable outdoor seating area- so cozy for an OTR restaurant! I can't wait to go back.

I only wish there was a zero (0) star. That would adequately describe our recent experience at Losanrti. We arrived for a 7:30 reservation at 7:20 and were immediately seated, that being the highlight of the evening. Drink and food orders were taken and it was 8:45 when the food arrived. The server said the food was on its way out at about 8:20 and after it arrived the manager came by and said she would check with the kitchen to see what had happened. She never returned with an answer. I can now say I have been to Losanti twice, the first time and the last time!!!!! read more

Took my mom here for dinner while she was in town visiting for Thanksgiving. This was my second time here as I had a fantastic dinner the first dinner (fall 2021). I don't know what happened, perhaps they have a new chef but it is not the same or as delicious as my first visit. First the cocktail: during my first visit I had a wonderful old fashioned. This visit it was not the same. There was no cherry (it's not an old fashioned if there's no cherry) and the slice of fruit looked like a lemon not an orange. Second the food: I ordered a salad with salmon on top. Mom got the crab cake app and a salad as her entree. The crab cake was "meh". Not horrible but nothing to return and it didn't come out hot, which is always a problem for me if I'm eating out. My salad was fine. It was a bit overdressed for my liking (others may find the dressing amount fine) and also "meh". It wasn't a bad salad, but I've had some amazing salads in my life- this wasn't even close. Now I ordered the salmon and salad because I am lactose intolerant and the salmon dish in the menu has cream in it. On my first visit, the chef created a delicious salmon dish in the likeness of the menu entree but without the cream. I was instructed when inquiring that if I modified it I would essentially be getting a piece of salmon and a side...this is not why I go out to eat. Service: service was great and attentive. We didn't have reservations but arrived early enough that we were seated quickly and with no issue. It's because of the service provided by the host and wait staff that gives this review 3-stars. Otherwise it would be much lower. Needless to say, I won't be going back to eat here. Service: read more

Food was wonderful and a great vibe for a special occasion, date night, or girls night out!

I recently came to Cincinnati for the symphony and had a hard time finding a reservation in the neighborhood - but Losanti had space available. Boy did I luck out! The service, food, and cocktails were top notch. As someone who was dining alone, what you need to know is - almost everything is "sharing size" portions. The foccacia was huge (and delicious), and the table next to me had the butter cake with ice cream which was...obviously meant for more than one person. The filet mignon was good and cooked to the right temperature, but they put a lot of char on the outside which I found to be too much (masked the flavor of the steak itself). But if I ever find myself back in the area, I will be back at Losanti! p.s. do yourself a favor and order the brussels. read more

Great atmosphere and decor. The Burrata was sweet and savory. Dirty martini was top notch. We got an amazing salad with avocado, grapefruit, and candied walnuts. We shared it with the three of us. Portions are big. I got the lamb pasta and it was a 10. Steak was cooked perfect. The gnocchi was rich. Our server was very informative and made us welcomed. She was amazing! Overall would come back!!! read more

Losanti - This butter cake is bomb! - Steakhouses Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Losanti opened in early October to some fanfare in the local press. I've been there twice - and want to share my 5-star review at the risk of making the place a lot more crowded! Everything we had was great. On my first trip, my wife and I shared the French onion soup (it's good sized), we each had a steak, garlic fries, and shared a dessert. Losanti charges by the ounce for steak. So... the nice thing is that you can pick your own size (within boundaries). For me, that flexibility is great. The steak is amongst the best I've had anywhere (and I live in the Chicago area). They say "not responsible for well done". I like mine medium rare; and it was spot on. My wife likes well done; but she opted for medium well - and loved it. Steak is their specialty, yet in my two times there, I tried different sides, different drinks, and got to see the size of various other plates. They have a half-dozen starters; a few salads to choose from; a handful of dishes outside of steaks; a few desserts. The butter cake we got was very good - but big enough for 3 people! Atmosphere is cozy; shaped like an L. Service was great both times. There is a bar when you walk in - if you didn't reserve a table. I'd recommend reservations; although I got in without them on a Wednesday. All-in-all - highly recommend this new restaurant just N of Washington Park. read more

sat at the bar for drinks & dessert. the espresso martini and butter cake are insaaanely good. the bartender, nyasia, was a sweetie!

Super vibey. Love the ambiance. Only critique it that it takes a long time to get your drink from the bar to your table.

So I have been here and it is deceiving when they say they charge by the ounce for their steaks. I and friends have been under the impression you can go in and order amounts of different cuts and that is not the case. Plus they have off-size cuts, like 7 oz filets, because honestly it's cheaper for the restaurant to buy them that way. But my real issues is servers that are deceiving. My niece and her boyfriend were there for her birthday and the boyfriend ordered a Shirley Temple. Hey we were all kids once. Basically soda with a cherry and a touch of grenadine. They charged him $7 and the server did not tell him that the refills were not free. $21 later he basically paid for another meal and the server padded his check. Come on guys. Underhanded sales is bad business. The food and that butter bread desert is very good don't get me wrong. However, the marketing and the service in this case take a hit on the star rating. I would choose other places next time and there is plenty of great competition out there. read more

Ouch, contentious staff, odd menu, not for me. Great location very long to be outside during Blink, but I don't think I'll be back. There were three of us standing and if we would've been five minutes late that would've cost $60 on our credit card but instead we were there exactly on time and we still had to wait 20 minutes to sit down. Doesn't seem quite fair does it? read more

For the price they need to get steak temp correct. Med rare came out at 140 degrees Had a cucumber salad with micro greens It was soupy dressing with micro green that were wilted and drowning Expensive dinner kitchen needs a lot of guidance read more

The first couple dishes I had (Kale salad and focaccia) were incredible. A must try when coming to this spot. Some of the best I've ever had. On the flip side, the Gnocchi wasn't that good in my opinion. I specifically asked for no bacon and they gave me gnocchi with bacon. They were nice about quickly replacing the dish and covered the cost of the meal for their mistake. I probably will be going back to give this restaurant another chance. I liked the atmosphere and the the servers were very friendly. read more

Replacing the Anchor across from Washington Park, Lonsanti brings a new spin on the traditional Steakhouse to the Cincinnati OTR district. The OTR neighborhood has been longing for a good steakhouse for some time. Lonsanti differentiates itself from others with a limited selection of daily selected fresh steaks - during our visit, we were presented different cuts which were available for that day - it was a first for me at a steakhouse to be given options of cuts for that day. Although the options were limited and by the time we went later in the evening most steak options were no longer available, I appreciate the freshness of the steak options. The inside of the restaurant was a facelift from the old Anchor days and is a cozy environment with a modern touch. For appetizers, we order the fried chicken drumsticks. I highly recommend this appetizer as the chicken was prepared very well and the spicy bourbon glaze was a perfect topping. For drinks, I ordered the house 'perfect Manhattan' it was nicely prepared. We also ordered the mussels which had a great sauce and were generally well prepared. For the main entre steaks we decided to split a Ribeye steak. It we prepared perfectly at our requested temperature. The only complaint here was that we requested 2 separate cook temperatures and they were unable to accommodate this request. Other than that the steak was very well seasoned and cooked. Overall a good experience at Lonsanti and would recommend a visit. read more

Excellent new restaurant in OTR! I was hesitant to try this new steakhouse in fear that they might still be sorting things out. I am so glad that I did because they nailed it! We started off splitting a bottle of the Athena Cab, which was great for the price. It's nice to see a restaurant in OTR have an affordable wine list! For the first course, we split the gnocci. The fried pieces of sage complimented the pasta clouds perfectly. We were practically licking the bowl for the remaining sauce! The steak was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. Do not forget the pieces of roasted garlic to compliment the steak! The truffle mac & cheese was a huge portion and also very tasty. I cannot wait to come back and eat here again! read more
