Came in for lunch with my husband and two year old. We ordered chicken fingers, fish fry, and lasagna. The waitress brought out a massive heap of fries, 2 fried chicken filets, sliced bread, and a massive plate full of melted cheese and meat sauce. I basically paid $50 for fries that we brought home because the waitress was more mesmerized by our presence than actually listening to the order we were placing🫠wow. Good fish though, if you can manage to get them to cook it 🫣

We are foodies and my husband is Italian so we were very excited to come here! Unfortunately we wernt a fan of the food. My husbands mushroom chicken dish was canned mushrooms and was fairly bland. I ordered chicken parm and it felt like a lot of the food was either frozen or canned? The portions are huge which is nice but we would have rather had a smaller portion and it be fresh food. The red sauce tasted very sweet so if you like that then this might be the place for you. We were seated very quickly and our waitress was incredibly nice and frequently stopped to check in on us. If the food was better we would be back but unfortunately we couldnt even finish the food. We didn't say anything because we felt like if theyre using canned mushrooms in a mushroom dish where its supposed to be the star then our comments probably wouldn't mean anything anyways.

Food was good not great. Walked in 30 minutes before close. They did service but they had already had all the tables shut down in the actual had to turn the lights back on for us. Waitress was amazing. The cannolis were not completely filled. Both myself and my wife found the spaghetti sauce too sweet.

Food was SO GOOD and our server Carly was extremely nice and helpful! Have lived in the area for years and am so mad at myself for taking this long to eat here.
Portions are so generous and prices are super fair! Will definitely be back, repeatedly!

We eat at Otto's quite often, both dining-in and take-out.
The food quality is great and portions are huge. I got the chicken parm with penne pasta and each came on its own very full plate. The meal was delicious and there was more than enough to split with someone or have a second meal as leftovers. My husband got the pasta combo plate which includes chicken parm, lasagna and stuff shells. Again huge portions and reasonably priced.
(Their pasta sauce is on the sweeter side which I personally like because its easier on my stomach.)
Everything we have ever tried at Ottos has been delicious

Listen — I’ve been to South Bend on game day. I’ve seen Touchdown Jesus, I’ve smelled the tailgate smoke wafting through the air like incense in a cathedral of football, and I’ve screamed myself hoarse as the Irish ran out of the tunnel like warriors of culinary destiny. But nothing — and I mean nothing — prepared me for the holy experience I had at Otto’s. If Notre Dame had an offensive line made of lasagna, stuffed shells, and veal parm, we’d never lose another game again.
I ordered the holy trinity of comfort carbs: lasagna, stuffed shells, and veal parm — all for 24 clams. That’s not a meal. That’s a bargain bowl victory.
The lasagna was stacked higher than Notre Dame’s preseason expectations. Every layer was a cheesy, saucy miracle, like Rudy finally getting on the field — if Rudy was made of ricotta and dreams.
Stuffed shells? Absolute unit. Filled to the brim like a stadium on a Saturday night in South Bend. I bit into one and heard the faint echo of the fight song in my soul.
And the veal parm? Oh, baby. Crispy outside, tender inside — like a 5-star recruit raised on Nonna’s gravy. If Manti Te’o had a real girlfriend, this is the dish he’d bring home to impress her.
By the end, I was so full I needed a timeout, a two-minute warning, and maybe a defibrillator.
Final score: Otto’s 42, My Waistline 0.
Would I come back? Like Lou Holtz to a motivational speech — absolutely. Otto’s is the real deal. No gimmicks, no NIL deals, just top-tier Italian food that'll have you doing touchdown dances in the parking lot.
Delicious food with great service !!
Great food variety. Good portions, very reasonable prices.
Wings were really good, beef on weck might be the worst in New York. Christine was our server and could care less about service…….atmosphere is very out dated and bland.
Easygoing atmosphere and very kind service.
