🔥 Hottest Italian Restaurant in Downtown Cincinnati

Sotto – located in the heart of Cincinnati’s downtown – might be easy to miss at first glance. Its entrance is modest and tucked away in a basement, but don’t let that fool you. This place is currently one of the city’s most talked-about spots! 🍝✨ The restaurant is near P&G’s headquarters, so it’s usually buzzing on weekdays. Weekends used to be quieter around here due to the unhoused population nearby, but Sotto’s vibe and quality are drawing crowds back. I hadn’t been in years, but a friend highly recommended it – and the experience did not disappoint! We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was delicious with authentic Italian flavors. One standout was the eggplant dish – it didn’t look like much, but it was absolutely incredible! 🍆🤩 We paired our meal with a bottle of Italian white wine 🍾 – the perfect complement to the food. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better… they ended the meal with complimentary Ricotta donuts – a sweet and flawless finish! 🍩❤️ Highly recommend if you’re in Cincy and craving true Italian in a cozy, vibey setting! #CincinnatiEats #CincinnatiFood #ItalianCuisine #SottoCincinnati #FoodieReview #USATravel #OhioEats #AuthenticItalian
