- JJohnCincinnati / Dayton •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe food was very good. We liked all of the dishes we ordered. The honey hazel nut goat cheese grilled bread and prosciutto arugula salad were great starters. All of the pasta is done well. I had the chicken thigh special for second course and it was fantastic. We each ordered dessert but they were huge. They tasted great but we had to bring some home.More infoSottoPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Central Business District•4.9
