    crab cake
    Alison M.

    Food was great, atmosphere was great. most of the staff was great. Our server was HORRIBLE. i hate giving two stars and almost never leave bad reviews but i was so disappointed. We had reservations and were sat quickly. Hosts were extremely kind and quick. 5-10 minutes after seating, our server comes to introduce himself. i dont recall his name but he had red short hair and a beard and some tattoos, had a tattoo on his hand. IF YOU GET THIS SERVER GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR SOMEONE ELSE... this dude was blitzed out of his mind high or drunk or worse. he was moving at a snail speed, talking extremely low and slow, was giggling awkwardly at extremely awkward times, took abnormally long to ask us what we needed and took abnormally long to respond to questions. We put in 3 drink orders and he left. he lowkey looked like tyler childers. he didnt come back for, and yes we counted, 25 minutes. we were sat in view of the bar and saw our drinks MADE+ready after 10 mins. they just sat there for 15 mins untouched, other servers were very dilligent and running drinks made after ours were. we ran out of water in this time and was not refilled. for at least 5 minutes of that time our server was RIGHT NEXT TO the drinks, having a long lovely conversation with some guests next to him. which is fine, but run your drinks first dude. Eventually a food runner or bar tender who was very nice gave us our drinks. We asked if they could tell the server we were ready to order. they did and he came over. after a painful and weird long time trying to act normal with this extremely weird dude, we got our food order put in. not a single bit of food was given to us by our server. water was not refilled by him either apps came quickly and were DELICIOUS (foccacia and crab cake). soon after, our meals came. mac n cheese is great, potatoes were amazing, salmon and steaks were to die for. after food was dropped off we wanted more cocktails and had to ask another server to find our server. he came and got our drink orders. acting weird as hell the whole time obviously. drinks were again given to us by the bartender and not him. not a single time did he touch our table and ask if we needed anything. WE had to get him. thanks to the many staff who were kind enough to do this mans job for him! yall were amazing he only came back to give us the check. i tipped good obviously bc i know a cut goes to the helping staff. but truly i hope he takes home very little of that tip. LOSANTI you guys know who im talking about. please do something with this dude. he can smoke bowls and work in the kitchen i guess but this dude was NOT functioning well at all on the floor. it truly messed up our experience. i want to come back sometime but this dude needs to GOOOOO. im genuinely saying this to help you guys. Hes messing up your restaurant lmao. also the staff did all the work for him so take this dude off and give tables to the staff that actually work and arent in an active LSD/h*roin trip at work. pretty sure a lot of people on those dr*gs could have given us a better experience than this guy. sorry to be mean but i say it with love. this dude gotta go.

    Visited Cincinnati for the Bengals game and took friends to Losanti -- perfect choice. We sat outside with great weather and even better service. I had the 7oz filet mignon with charred onion mashed potatoes, elote-style corn, and grilled asparagus. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the $3 compound butter was absolutely worth it. The potatoes were amazing, and while I wish there was a bit more asparagus, the flavors were spot-on. Drinks were great too -- the espresso martini was fresh and not pre-made. For dessert, we split a skillet cookie with ice cream and a butter cake -- both fantastic. For six people with wine, cocktails, apps, and entrées, the bill was about $600 -- a great deal for the quality. Losanti beats the big chains easily. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Cincinnati!

    Right by the Cincinnati Music Hall.

    Treat you & your date to this gem of a place! I had the filet and my wife had the salmon. Both were delicious. The brussel sprouts were incredible! They convinced us to try the butter cake. DEAR LORD IN HEAVEN!!!!! Wow! Do not go and miss this!

    We went to Losanti after the FC game because it was in walking distance. Wait time: about 15 minutes with reservations. Atmosphere: very crowded and loud. Service: our server was well rehearsed with all the items on the menu, was very helpful, and very attentive. Food: I thought the food was good. I believe the whole table ordered steaks. They were all cooked exactly how we asked. No complaints. Price: a little pricey for what you get but standard for a place like this. $$$$ Cleanliness: extremely clean

    Our second experience here was even better than the first. I really think the Mac and cheese is what weighed down the previous experience because we ordered steaks, fries, and the eggplant Parmesan and it was all outstanding! Service was excellent and we sat outside which was lovely on a warmer day. We also tried the butter cake, which is a glorified pancake with a scoop of ice cream - it was good but not the kind of dessert we would normally get, nor would we order it again. This has become one of our favorite date spots!

    Burrata, mussels, grilled bread. Really really good.
    Karl K.

    Once again they hit a home run - oysters from New Brunswick were delicious, a hearty Gem salad, the burrata and pear over the grilled bread was wonderful, the espresso martini was as good as everyone says it is (!), the filet mignon needed NO accompaniment of sauce because THAT'S the mark of a great steak well-prepared, and the service from entering to exiting and everything in between was top notch. A very comfortable environment in which to enjoy all that great food. For a great meal I don't think you can do any better. 5 stars again for you, Losanti!

    Espresso Martinis - seriously awesome job from the bartender.
    Josh J.

    Really enjoyed our recent visit to Losanti, and we will definitely be back! Cozy and intimate seating (not small per se; you're close to other diners but it didn't seem that cramped, but then again we had a corner booth?). Food was EXCELLENT - my wife had a filet and I had the Lobster Americaine, which I thought was spectacular. We also ordered the burrata appetizer (good) and an onion mashed potatoes as a side - the mashed potatoes were shockingly good! We did order a side meatball as well, which was just OK. One of the real stars was the drinks - my wife and I both ordered espresso martinis, which literally may have been one of the best espresso martinis I have ever had; they make theirs with a caramel Baileys (per our waiter) which I have to try the next time I make one at home! Don't miss out on Losanti - they did an excellent job and we will definitely be back!

    Losanti is one of our top restaurants in Cincinnati and we take every opportunity we can to visit for a nice meal. We went for our anniversary most recently and it was excellent as usual. We had the burrata and crab cake appetizers. I don't usually like peach but the burrata was still excellent while the crab cake was meaty and delicious. The green beans with the crab cake were a little too rich for me but had a nice flavor. After the appetizers, I was already feeling full and wishing I'd paced myself better, but our entrees were worth it. I had the chicken parm which comes with spaghetti. It's a huge portion and such comfort food. My husband had the steak with roasted garlic on it and said it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. On the side, we shared the macaroni and cheese and truffle fries. I'm not the biggest fan of mac, but this one has a deep and delicious umami flavor, totally worth trying. The truffle fries were indulgent and one of my favorite things on the table! In previous visits, we've had the giant meatballs, mushrooms, and wedge salad - all are amazing so I included photos of those too. Service is always top notch and the setting is excellent too. It's in an old building and it usually has just the right lighting, etc. On our anniversary, they put out a small placecard, which I thought was a nice touch.

    Burrata with pear, pecans, and basil-- so yummy

    Losanti is a wonderful choice for a special date night. The ambiance is romantic, the staff is friendly and very helpful with the menu, and the food is delicious. My husband and I stopped in before a show and enjoyed everything we got!

    I live in California but came to Losanti with friends who live in Cincinnati. It was dinner on a weeknight but we made reservations and sat "outside" (a covered area closed off from weather. The ambiance was ok but looked much better inside - go for inside if you can! The food exceeded my expectations and so did the price! I was not expecting California type pricing in Cincinnati. Price aside, the service was friendly and helpful. The food was definitely the highlight and dessert was so good. (The friends for company weren't bad either lol) I'd visit again!

    Bone marrow
    Brad B.

    Great food. Great service! Great ambiance. Cheap no but great yes. Started with a couple oysters, moved on to the meatballs (incredible) and bone marrow (delicious!). Didn't get a picture of the filet or the butter cake dessert. Both delicious. I'd come back just to try the lobster dish.

    Butter cake

    Only good things to say about this place! The food was unique and delicious. Service was good and we loved the patio atmosphere on a beautiful evening. We are surprised this place isn't talked about more! It has a diverse menu and we enjoyed everything we tried. We started with the kale Caesar salad and Burrata appetizer which were both good! The filet with blue cheese butter was incredible, cooked exactly as I asked with amazing flavor. The Parmesan fries were really good as well! My husband got the lobster pasta and he loved it. We finished with the butter cake with gelato and it was very unique and tasty, but huge and extremely sweet- I definitely recommend splitting! We look forward to coming back.

    Taking my hubby on a date here.. was curious if I should sit in the enclosed patio or inside? The pictures seem like the inside is kind of small and bunched together: the outside looks a little more airy and spaced out. Is this the case?

    Yes, the inside is bunched together, but don't go there. It's pricey, stuffy, and the food is just OK...

    Are they kid friendly?

    It is a small space but when I went there was a family with two little girls and one was celebrating her birthday. Depending on where you sit a high chair may not be ideal for the smaller seating areas.
