The atmosphere is wonderful with wine bottles suspended from the ceiling, candles overflowing with wax, opera music in the background and checkered tablecloths. The service was stellar and the food heavenly. The meat lasagna was loaded with two meats, sauce and plenty of garlic. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant!

DON'T PASS ON DESSERT! – Wednesday @ 5:30pm and no one but us (3) were there! By 7pm it was 1/2 full and still coming in. We went prior to an Aranoff show. I had the Veal Sporti but asked for it spicy (diavolo) which they did and it WAS! Great. Toasted Italian bread with garlic was terrific. Dessert was freakin' awesome! We split Tiramisu and Canoli: both 2nd to none! I'll go back even if it's just for dessert! WOW!

Real italian food, real italian atmosphere – If you are tired of the chain "italian" restaurants, go to Scotti's for some real food. For the person who complained of high prices -- if you make your pasta, cook with high quality ingredients such as cheeses - you should be fairly compensated. If you prefer Olive Garden's fast food rendition of pasta - go there. You get what you pay for.

Loved it! – We were in town for a weekend. A local suggested we try Scotti's when we asked for a recommendation. It was such a good experience that I went back again the next night. Charming and quaint atmosphere. Loved the unique salad. Enjoyed a conversation with the friendly owner on Thursday evening when the crowd was a bit smaller. Went back on Friday evening and it was much more crowded but the owner still took the time to say hello. Enjoyed the food and had plenty of it.

Our favorite place to eat! – My wife and I have been going to Scotti's for over 15 years. The food is always great, and the atmosphere is romantic. Best lasagna ANYWHERE! Could be alittle pricey, but not too bad when treated as a special occassion. The staff works hard to make you feel at home, not fake or overly happy, but "Real". They treat you like family that's for sure. We alway's go back. To the people that have left negative feedback... I have admit that in the 15 years of dining with them we have never had a single b... read more

No wonder this place was empty – I was surprised to see Scotti's nearly empty on a Friday night, but once our party started placing orders, I understood why. Our table had ordered a lot of appetizers, so two people ordered a meal to share. A man I'm guessing was the manager or owner was standing nearby and said it would cost $10 extra to share entrees. We were taken aback, since we'd spent a lot of money on appetizers already and ordered wine as well- it's not as if we were going to have a small bill if one or two entrees we... read more

Not worth the money – Ambience was perfect, just like one of my favorites in Italy. Service was par or Olive Garden quality. I had to send back my veal, as it was spolied. They may make the traditional food very well, but do a terrible job at the specialties as well as the service. Don't waste your money, there are plenty of other Italian restaurants in Cincinnati that are a better buy.

Open Minded Italian In Cincy – I am sick and tired of reading all the bad reviews about Scotti's. It is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. I had an entree in Lombardo's in Albany NY..... Scotti's was so open minded that they didn't even flinch and duplicated it from my description. It was great. The price is reasonable. Whenever I am there, the service is excellent. The family members who run the place are soooo nice and friendly that they make me feel at home. that I live out of town, I miss the place. Whever I ... read more
