“We had dinner at the downtown location this evening to celebrate my son’s graduation from the military, and leaving to report to his first assignment. From the time we were seated, to the time we left, several staff members came over to shake his hand and thank him for his service, even the General Manager. We always receive exceptional care from any Jeff Ruby’s establishment, but are so grateful to our amazing server Peter along with all of the other staff who took the time to make our family feel so special. We will support this business until the end of time! Thank you for being such a wonderful place to visit!”

“We travel all around the world, even compared to Italy, their home made pasta was the best we have ever eaten. We had appetizers that were awesome as well. We Highly recommend this place!”

“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.”

“A hidden gem on Garfield Place . We decided to throw out the Hyde park restaurants and try something new . The Mezze Board was fantastic with all of the Mediterranean dips and veggies , The Shrimp Cossoult is to die for . The braised lamb /risotta/feta explodes with every bite. The best of all is that it was our first time dining and and I felt like family with the service from Nimo and Bryce , Coming back next week for the Swordfish . 6 stars !!!!!”

“We were visiting from Buffalo and my wife had read about the distillery in whiskey advocate so we wanted to take a tour . We really really enjoyed it . Carus - I hope I spelled his name correctly gave us the tour and it was very informative and fun getting the chance to talk to him and ask as many questions as we wanted. It’s a neat little distillery with excellent products , a cool backstory and a nice bar area for excellent cocktails . Definitely worth stopping in to support them - your new friends and fans from the Buffalo area- rob, sue and Tim 😊”

“Nice quaint pizza spot. Good food”

“I went to dinner with my friends to celebrate a friend‘s birthday. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating of a large group. They were also very careful to make sure that our dairy free friend knew what options were available to her and made it very clear, even when the courses were delivered which dishes she could share with friends. Additionally, I accidentally left my leftovers in the restaurant when I went to my car, and the staff were so helpful to run it out to my car in the sprinkling rain to give it to me so that the food would not go to waste. I highly recommend the Icelandic cod, as well as the Parisian carrot salad.”

“Food and presentation was top notch! Everything was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Walked away full but not feeling weighed down. Service was fantastic as was the atmosphere. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for me!!”
