“Sotto embodies the feeling of understated luxury. From the wood-fired oven to the homemade pasta, the chef's dedication to every dish is evident. I particularly enjoyed their Italian meatballs and roasted eggplant appetizers, which paired perfectly with a glass of red wine. This place isn't just about dining; it's about enjoying a mini culinary journey. If you're in Cincinnati, be sure to make reservations in advance; otherwise, it's very difficult to get a table.“

I went there with my lady to celebrate Saint Valentines in advance, and we were so happy to spend our time there. The place is wonderful, the service is perfect and the food… the food is astronomical! Personally I do love the Malfatti “A true love for Rome”. As being born and raised in Rome I do really appreciate that love for my city. Definitely a 10/10, and best place to experience Italian cuisine. P.S. Italiani, se siete di passaggio a Cincinnati fate un salto da Nicola, non ve ne pentirete“

“Came here for dinner with my mother after visiting some festival nearby. The restaurant itself is small, but not uncomfortably so. It wasn't too busy, and we got in rather quickly. The atmosphere was amazing, the decor was quite charming, and the layout was in such a way where you could see the chefs cooking from the front of the restaurant.

As for the food, I got tomato soup and salad, and we both got a plate of pasta as well. The tomato soup was creamy and delicious, the salad was quite refreshing, and the pasta was perfectly al dente, with exquisite sauces and such. Not to mention, the portion sizes for the pasta were huge, so we had plenty to take home as well. Finally, we ended our meal with a dessert. We got the tiramisu. Sweet, light, creamy, and delicious.

I'll say, no Italian food will ever beat the food in Italy itself, but if you can't afford the trip to Italy, this may be the next best place to go for good Italian cuisine.“
