My favorite steak place outside Ruby's. Overall menu is great with lots of choices. I love pairing some fresh oysters with a great steak.

Beautiful restaurant right on the corner of Washington Park. The focaccia was delicious and a great deal. Our server was super friendly and took good care of us. Ended dinner with an amazing espresso martini. read more

Love eating here. It's just so darn yummy. They have the best Shirley Temples here. They use dark cherries and a sprinkle of magic. So delish. read more

Oh my gosh. Eat here. Just do it. Brought my wife here for her birthday dinner after it being recommended and it did not disappoint. We started with Flapjack Point oysters from Puget Sound WA, a burrata "salad", then shared the petite filet au poivre served over mashed potatoes, Gorgonzola creamed greens, and Brussels sprouts. Literally everything was so good. My favorites were the mashed potatoes and the Brussels sprouts but honestly, everything was delicious. The meat is served on the rarer side of whatever you order but very tender. If I came back, I'd order everything the same except maybe the burrata. The flavor combo wasn't my favorite, so maybe just a more traditional salad next time. For dessert, we ordered their butter cake because we heard that it was a must have. And really.... I mean, I don't like butter cake and was kind of forcing myself to at least try it to say that I did. I took one bite and had to put my fork down and my hands up in surrender because it was the most delicious thing I've eaten in a good, long while. I just can't get over how good it was. If I wasn't so full, I would have eaten that entire thing. And it was huge. And fantastic. I enjoyed my whole meal but that butter cake just far surpassed my expectations. My 4.5 went up to a 5 for that dessert. And now that I've way oversold the whole thing, you should lower your expectations and just try it for yourself. Service was good but got a little slow. Food took a long while to come out and then it felt like they forgot about us, both before and after dessert. Nice staff, delicious food and I will most definitely be back if I'm ever in Cincinnati again. read more

I have heard great things about this restaurant and I had big expectations going in. I hate to say I was fairly disappointed with dinner. I ordered an espresso martini and the shrimp scampi as an appetizer, which were both good. My boyfriends ordered the steak frites and usually love parm fries, but said they were too covered in salt (and he loves salt..). The steak looked good, but didn't really have an even coloring. I think the filets looked much better than the steak in other yelp reviews but had read some people were overcharged so decided not to order that... maybe made a mistake there. I ordered the mussels, which are always my favorite, but the sauce was not what I was hoping it to be and the meat on the mussels was so small and they were over cooked. I really could've let this slide and made a better review but our service wasn't great either. The other servers helped us more than our own and it took quite awhile to get water refills. Overall, I think I came in expecting a lot more than we got. Trust what is most recommended in other reviews and order that. The restaurant has a gorgeous patio that I would recommend sitting at rather than inside if weather abides. read more

Came here to treat my parents for their birthdays - and it definitely was an experience. So everyone knows Losanti as a steakhouse but for me some of the shining stars were other items in their menu. Number 1 being the mussels - and item I may honestly come back solely for. Coated in a light and flavorful saffron cream broth that came with grilled bread to dip up all the flavor. Life hack - order their fries and we used that to dip up the remaining broth! My mom also got the orecchiette which was also very delicious. Not to mention - their sides are VERY generous. We expected them to be for maybe 1-2 people but definitely something easily split between 4-5 people. An appetizer, two sides, entree for each of us left us very full and satisfied for about $200. Ended up having to take some home. Definitely a place to come if you want to treat your loved ones (or even let them treat you!) read more

We had yet another fabulous experience at Losanti celebrating our anniversary. They greeted us with a happy anniversary card that sat at our table so any staff that came to our table would wish us! We ordered the focaccia and kale salad to start. They were so nice to split the salad for us. For entrees we ordered the eggplant parm and truffle Mac n cheese. Both are listed as sides on the menu but are very generous shareable portions. Of course ordered the butter cake which we barely had room for but it's just so good. Although Losanti is known as a steak house we appreciate and love all of the many vegetarian options! read more

What a way to celebrate a milestone birthday!! The Burrata, Wedge Salad with Gorgonzola dressing, Brussel sprouts, Filet Mignon, Orecchiette with lamb sausage and to top it off the Butter Cake were ALL delicious! We don't usually have dessert, but since it was my birthday we did! The Butter Cake was this beautiful, crunchy around the edges, but soft in the middle...my mouth is watering as I text, cake that we devoured!! We loved how knowledgeable Kelsey was about the menu and was soooo right about the sizes of the salads and sides. You should share them! Their customer service is exceptional. They not only clear the dishes in a timely manner, but everyone from the server to the hostess asked how we were doing. This restaurant has a great vibe and they have hired a well trained staff from the hostess to the chef! We will definitely come back soon. But will make sure to save room for Butter Cake!! read more

Looking for an Italian steakhouse in Cincinnati look no further! First off love the location of the restaurant, it's near many bars and Washington park. The restaurant had a relaxing lowlit intimate ambiance which I enjoyed. You can dine indoors or on the patio if the weather permits. It's very easy to make and get reservations for this restaurant which I liked. We celebrated a birthday at the restaurant we were able to sample a bit of the menu from their cocktails, giant meatballs which were amazing although the focaccia was a little charred, and amazing house made pasta with delectable tomatoes in the sauce and ribeye and Mac and cheese. Plenty to go for leftovers split between two people. Overall the service was decent. The waitress had great recommendations and knowledge of the menu, however it was a busy night and the drinks took a bit to arrive as well as the food but our server kept checking in and made sure me met our time constraint due to a following event after our dinner. read more

Cute restaurant in OTR on the corner near the park. They were available for a walk in on a Friday night for four so we took a shot. Not being super hungry, we opted for all sides and apps which was plenty of food. Mashed potatoes were incredible. A must have even though it seems odd for an Italian spot. Asparagus was big and hearty, cooked very well. And elotes were very good. Not as creamy as typical so more like cut corn but really nice limy flavor. Kale Caesar had WAY too much dressing. Nearly inedible because of the dressing so please ask for light or on the side. My guess is all their other salads are similar so probably be ware! And our waitress recommended the mussels and forciatta (spelling) bread...my husband loved, me not so much. Just a different sauce that I wasn't feeling. Eggplant parm was very good. It's odd that it's a side dish but I'll take it! All in all, very good but the wait staff is young and I felt provocatively dressed. Not bringing my parents here so to speak but would like to come back for an entree given their great sides! read more

We had our Anniversary dinner here and for once I felt like my husband put some thought into picking a restaurant. The ambiance was charming and cozy. We started with cocktails--I had the Negroni and my husband had the Mezcal Last Word. They were interesting palatable twists to classics. The food was stellar; I enjoyed the salmon dish while my husband had the Steak Frites. We also ordered a side of the Charred Broccoli which was as addicting. The food portion is huge and worth more than it is priced. Our server was very attentive but also charismatic about guiding us around the menu. Can't wait to come back and try more tasty cocktails and food. read more

Steak was over cooked, the walleye looked and tasted deep fried vs pan fried It too was over cooked. Very over rated, and not at all worth the premium pricing. That was a one and done experience. The martini was delicious however. read more

Everything was delicious. I ordered the truffle Mac and cheese, side of broccoli, and a steak. The steak was a tad bit too rare, but it was still edible and was still hot so I won't knock a star for that. Truffle Mac was very tasty and I would get it again! The broccoli and dipping sauce it came with was also so delicious! I would come back here if I was ever in Cinci again. read more

Losanti - Butter cake dessert - Steakhouses Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

First time I went here was over a year ago. I still have dreams about the butter cake. OMG so delectable and delicious. Consider going here for any occasion. It really is a notch above other steakhouses. The service is wonderful. The ambiance is great, not too noisy and perfectly dim lighting. read more

The servers and staff we're great. The food not so much. I had the BOLOGNESE add a meat ball and the BURRATA. The Barada was in a yellow sauce with peaches, yellow sauce taste a little bit like mustard, but nothing else really had any flavor. The Bolognese with meatballs, the sauce and the pasta were delicious. The meatball was more of a meatloaf consistency, but flavor was on point.. read more

Having had a few hours to digest the dining and visitor experience at Losanti along with the decor, I can wholeheartedly say that I cannot and will never recommend this restaurant. We have dined at simple road stands and multiple Michelin starred establishments and everywhere in between throughout the US and have reviewed each experience on their own merits either here or elsewhere. I preface this review with the above as the way we were spoken to and treated on a special occasion was demeaning, ridiculous, and beyond condescending as if we had no clue as to what allegedly made Losanti so special, by both our server and the on-duty manager. When making the reservation, I asked explicitly for indoor seating as the electronic system did not allow for choosing indoor/outdoor and noted that the dinner was to celebrate a significant evening. I do not fault the restaurant for this system as this was a third-party application, but when we arrived promptly for our reservation, the front of house clearly did not look at the explicit notes and proceeded to seat us outdoors in a less than ideal two-top even though there were plenty of seating indoors. Reading the notes takes a minute and with multiple people at the FOH milling around on their phones or chatting, the dinner rush or lack thereof, the fact they did not do this is a head scratcher. As an aside, their pretentious notes about not being responsible for well-done steaks, a $20.00 reservation cancellation fee, and how they are a boutique steakhouse with a scratch kitchen is laughable. I digress. Our waiter arrives and sees that the table setup was uncomfortable with no place to place personal items and makes a joke about how it would not be a good idea to have it fall into the food, but makes no effort to make any accommodations. He then asks what we are celebrating and this further confirms that there was no review of reservation notes and indicates a lack of communication between staff. We share why we are there and he tries to make small talk and assumptions and peg us into holes about possible professional affiliations. Fine. I guess. Between the outdoor bugs and all of the pink flags, we should have left, but wanting to support a local business and not wanting to derail a special evening, we stayed. We asked for recommendations for wine pairings and received several, but we were still indecisive. In other establishments, we have always been offered a taste of several if we were unsure and before deciding on a bottle but it did not happen here. Okay. Instead, we selected a bottle based on staff's recommendation, and when it came out it was warm, it was sour and devoid of any of the notes he described. There was a back and forth about whether or not the restaurant would take back the bottle - it was listed as a by the glass - before being lectured that they would and that usually when the bottle is opened table side it is not for taste, but rather for the recipient to taste if the wine was corked. I knew that and did not need to be told. The wine was not good. It was trash. Had a small flight/taste been offered, we would not be in this position. Please take it back. Then mains and sides come out. The sides were fine. Seasoned well and cooked expertly. Both the steaks, a filet and a ribeye, were inedible. The temperature was right, but it tasted as if the meat was seasoned by one person, another person came along and did not know that it was seasoned, and seasoned again before being topped off by finish salt. We brought this to the attention of the waiter. He got the manager. She came by, apologized and took the steaks and said that they would be remade. But she had to get in a passive aggressive dig about how we should eat up our sides as if we were kids being reminded to eat their vegetables. Now I assume that some people eat sides as mains and what not, but at a steakhouse, a purported boutique steakhouse, I did not come here to eat sides sans steak. At this point we are 44 minutes into service. I won't go into the rest. A percentage of the bill was comped, and the gesture was appreciated, but it was not something that we asked for. We simply asked for our food to be hot, prepared correctly, and to expect a modicum or veneer of customer service. Instead, I felt that the staff thought we were trying to get over somehow and wanted a discount meal and should have been happy with what we received. If that was the case, they are far off the mark. We never had an issue with tipping, paying the bill whatever it came out to be and there are some connotations and undertones that were beyond alienating. I have never written a review of any establishment of this length and do not make it a habit of being this blistering, but Losanti earned this review. A simple "I am sorry that we did not meet expectations, but would love it if you would consider us again" would have gone a long way and not incurred a one star rating. read more

Celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary here last night. Now that are kids are older we have been having them join us as well. We like to pick new places as we don't eat out that frequently or we go to the same places. We really enjoyed Losanti. Great location and the ambiance is nice. Angela our server was amazing. She took us through the menu which was extremely helpful. If you have kids, the Shirley Temples are very good. Our daughters did not love the Mocktails. We split a Kale Caesar and a House Salad. We had an order of the Orecchiette. This was the favorite dish of the night. We each had an entree. We had the Frenched Pork Parmesan, the Salmon, the 7 oz Filet and the Steak & Frites. I got the steak Medium. I would definitely order medium rare next time. We then split the brussel sprouts, broccolini and truffle mac and cheese. We topped it off with a butter cake and an Affogato. It was our anniversary, so the butter cake was complimentary which was a nice gesture. The food was excellent. The service and timing of the courses was excellent. If you have not already you should check this place out. read more

Made reservations for my birthday. We've been before and had a fine experiences. Food was okay. Service- not so much. We had 7:30 reservations. We arrived (slightly early) and were told our table wasn't ready. Totally understand. We walked around outside until 7:30. Table still not available. We were given an option to sit at a community bar top until our table was ready. Our drinks were subpar. 20 mins later and we were seated. Initially by one waiter and then he never came back. Our table was finally taken over by someone else. We were asked if we were on a "timeline." We said no and that was a mistake. We paid for a 7 oz steak and I would bet we received 5 or less. We finally were just ready to go because everything took so long and we were just initially annoyed. Took 20 mins to even get a check. It's unfortunate because we have really loved this restaurant before-- but I'm not sure we will be back. read more

Stopped by here last night for a family member's birthday dinner and it may have been one of the best meals I've had in Cincinnati. We dined outdoors in their charming patio space and felt perfectly cozy with the numerous heaters available. We ordered: - little gem salad (loved the candied walnuts) - kale Caesar salad (one of Cincinnati's best kale caesars) - burrata and tapenade on grilled bread (delicious) - French onion soup (VERY heavy but delicious) - ribeye - porterhouse - giant meatball side (good) - elote styled corn (tasted better as leftovers) - eggplant Parmesan (ok, could've used a little more flavor but was uniquely prepared in rolls) - gnocchi (good, but very heavy) - truffle spaghetti (my personal favorite and very garlicky!) - chocolate chip cookie (can't go wrong with this) - butter cake (GET THIS. I don't care if it's the only thing you order do NOT skip it). Be warned, the portions are LARGE so come here with an empty stomach and an extra friend or two. The pastas are delicious and dare I say better than Sotto. The steaks are delightfully tender, perfectly cooked, and dare I say better than Jeff Ruby's (and a fraction of the price). The service was also superb and very responsive. Overall, this may be one of my favorite new restaurants in Cincinnati. The service and ambience is wonderful and the outdoor dining is some of the best and covid-friendly that I've seen. 11/10 recommend! read more

We didn't make a reservation but was able to sit. The waiter for us was extremely nice. You can tell that this is a great restaurant for the quality of the service you get. We ordered 1) bolognese pasta and 2) 12 oz. NY strip. You can't substitute the pasta noodle because the chef doesn't want to - great philosophy for his food. But anyways, it was one of the best pasta you can get around here. The NY strip was good, too, served with lemon and garlic. A good normal date night place. But reserve a big table for you because we kinda sat in between people, on a very small table... haha. read more

The hubby and I had the most delicious meal here for our anniversary. We walked in and were greeted and sat right away, granted we had the early bird reservation time of 4:45 pm lol. Side note, make a reservation. I waited until about a week prior to our date night and could only get this early time or after 8 pm. Our server was wonderful and gave us wonderful recommendations that we are so glad we ordered. We had filets with shared sides of mashed lot and Eggplant Parmesan. The filets were flavorful and cooked to perfection took. The mashed potatoes, total comfort creaminess and the eggplant parm, absolutely phenomenal! I could have eaten it alone as my entree, it was so wonderful. We ordered cocktails prior to dinner and wine with dinner. It was the perfect pairings with our meal. I can't recommend this fabulous spot enough. Don't hesitate, make the reservation and have a wonderful meal and a nice after dinner walk through Washington Park. You won't regret it. Sorry no pics but I was so happy to dive into the food that I forgot to take them lol. read more

We came here after dinner at another steakhouse. What drove us to do such a ridiculous thing? Dessert. Located in Over the Rhine, Losanti is serving prime meat and has an Italian influence clearly on the menu. Looking for something new, I browsed through several new steakhouse menus online searching for something worthwhile. Honestly the menu online for Losanti is confusing, advertising prime meat by the ounce and not specifying all potential cuts available. Going on to Yelp, one finds that nobody raves about the steaks. Instead of the steaks, every one praises the dessert, namely, BUTTER CAKE. There is a following for this dessert. Given the heavily biased reviews that focus on dessert, we came here to give it a shot. My wife ordered the brownie which comes with a scoop of vanilla gelato. I ordered the buttercake which is paired with a salted caramel Gelato and a salted caramel drizzle. The expectations as high as possible, it comes to our table. Both served in individual sized cast iron skillets. Both with the respective gelato scoops reflecting the fact that this dish had been sitting around for several minutes. It clearly should've been served four or five minutes prior to presentation. After getting over the liquid gelato on the butter cake, I dig in. The edges of the butter cake golden brown reflecting the aimed textural difference for delivery. The first bite really fell flat on its face. The center of the butter cake was room temperature. The brownie shared a similar experience. I asked our waitress what the temperature of dessert should be who confirmed it should be warm. The gelato additionally soaked the cake creating a soggy experience. The dessert simply wasn't good. For us at least, the experience is nothing that needs to be repeated. Not interested in the food and the dessert that was so highly anticipated lacked reason for any return. read more

Can't reach anybody to return and get refund. Why do companies make it so hard to get in touch with them.

This was our first time at Losanti. Becca was our waitress and she couldn't have been more helpful and delightful. We shared a Slow Roasted Meatball appetizer which was tasty. Since e waited quite a while for our entrees to arrive, it would have been nice to have some Italian bread to munch on, but it looked as if that was not something they do. For entrees, I ordered Steak & Frites and hubby ordered the Amish Chicken Marsala. It was surprising and disappointing that my steak was barely warm. We had grilled asparagus as a side which was good. The highlight of the night was the Butter Cake as many yelpers recommended. It was decadently gooey and so delicious. We were in one of the smaller rooms almost straight back from the front door. Not sure if it was due to the size, but it seemed to be very noisy. read more

During a recent trip to Cincinnati I enjoyed a business dinner at Losanti. The service is top notch. It will be tough to decide between the pasta and the steak, so I was happy that several of us shared. We had meatballs for appetizers along with the fries. I had the truffle pasta and some Ribeye. It was cooked to perfection. The truffle Mac and cheese was delicious and so were the potatoes. We finished the meal with the butter cake.

We visited losanti last night for my birthday and had an excellent experience. From the service to the food it was all around perfect! We started the night with espresso martinis which were delicious, then split the gnocchi as an appetizer with the focaccia bread per our waitresses recommendation. The gnocchi was the best I've had in town (which is a strong statement I love gnocchi) and we used the bread to dip in the sauce, yum! Then we had a bottle of wine, steaks and split the Mac and cheese and fries. The steaks were cooked to perfection and we enjoyed the toppings. The fries were amazing and crispy. We left completely full and happy! We headed a few blocks down the street when we heard someone calling for us. They followed us multiple blocks because we forgot our leftovers! Such a great experience and we will certainly be back! read more
