    Mussels in Saffron Cream
    Amy D.

    I had been years since we had eaten at Losanti, so we wanted to try it again. Well, this will be our last time. Yet again, two of the four dishes were too salty. They must put tons of salt in their tomato sauce because the bolognese and eggplant parmesan were the salty dishes. The mussels were PEI (which means tiny), and there were only 14 of them. The sauce to mussel ratio was way off. It's basically a plate of cream with 14 tiny bites of meat. The steak tartare was the favorite of the night. It was seasoned perfectly. Sarah was lovely and took good care of us. So if you like salt, and a great deal, the eggplant parm for $14.95 is the way to go.

    Butter cake

    I enjoyed another great visit, but I've was more focused on dessert this time. Amy was great. She was attentive and considerate. She offered great service. There was a crowd because there was an opera at the music hall, so a lot of purple for the opening night. I enjoyed the kale salad, tasted the shrimp scampi, and ordered the Brussel sprouts and Mac n cheese as entrees. All of the dishes are shareable. I really enjoyed the set and savory butter cake. It's a mixture between cornbread and cake. It was a lot and totally worth it to me. I could eat of it 3 times. Everything was good and or entire table enjoyed their meals.

    Salmon and mashed potatoes

    Came here for an anniversary dinner and it was amazing! Had a great selection of wine and cocktails, and even had some good nonalcoholic cocktails. Sat at the bar and had a great time chatting with our bartender, who recommended some great options for us as well. Food was phenomenal! Husband ordered the salmon and mashed potatoes while I got the steak frites. Our waiter told us that he could just drink the sauce the salmon was served with and he was not wrong, it was so delicious! The steak was cooked perfectly, and the fries were so crispy and seasoned well. We finished our meal with the famous butter cake, and there's a reason it's well known, I would come back for just the cake! The restaurant itself was well decorated, and had an upscale atmosphere. Will definitely return for another dinner soon!

    Came here for a late Valentine's Day dinner. We had bar seat reservations. The service was awesome from start to finish. Everyone was attentive without being annoying. We had some recommendations from the person sitting next to us which we were happy to get. The cocktail menu had classics but also some interesting new choices too. The food was awesome, one of the best steaks I've ever had. The shrimp scampi was also delicious. The butter cake, which was highly recommended by all, was awesome. Make sure you save room!

    Homemade focaccia and burata

    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

    Butter cake
    Amy J.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Meatball appetizer
    Liz F.

    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

    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.

From the moment I sat down at the bar, owner Matt and the bartenders made me feel genuinely welcome. They took the time to learn my name, offer recommendations, and check in throughout the evening without ever being overbearing. It's a rare gift to make a solo guest feel seen while still giving them space to enjoy their own company. The food was outstanding. I ordered the baked brie with the honeycomb (trust me, get the honeycomb) and every bite was delicious. The combination of warm brie, puff pastry, honey, and nuts was incredible. Matt's wine recommendation was equally spot on. What impressed me most, though, was the atmosphere. Ripple strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated and comfortable. Whether you're on a date, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet evening alone, you'll feel right at home. I arrived as a first-time guest and left feeling like a regular. Covington is lucky to have this place. I'll definitely be back.

The bread from Allez Bakery that comes with the board is outstanding. Look forward to visiting again.

The place had a bygone era dignity, a european alfresco vibe (a la Sudova), a refined mediterranean food vibe (a la Abigail Street) and there was the whole 1937 thing. When we got there the owner explained this was the descendants of the founder of Gold Start Chili opening this as a homage to his vision of a restaurant as an elevated yet welcoming family place. The place it turns out reflects the fact that they bought what was a refined saloon (where the Brat Boyz might have met in the 50s), along with a decidedly modern vibe in the back. I could ramble on about the food, but the salad makes the point. Everything they have is familiar .. with a twist. The salad is extra fresh because it is a head of romaine artfully sauced with a test for herbivores to practice turkey carving skills. The other dishes mirror that sort of familiar-meets -twist take. Devilled eggs (something I decidedly avoid at buffets) was quite good, with a homemade chili oils and black salt. The staff was quite chill, engaging but not talking your ear off. Much of the staff were childhood buddies who decided (I guess successfully) to test their friendship by going into business to together. The only part I'd quibble is the '1937' thing (it's when the Gold Star owner was born, not 2020 when the restaurant opened). But you know, quibbles get muffled when uttered with a mouth full of Biscoff 'meatloaf' (thick cut) and home made OrangeCello.
