Sotto, Cincinnati (Downtown)

Work has taken me to Cincinnati and while I’ve been here I’m taking advantage of checking out another city’s restaurant scene. The first night I was in town I went to an Italian restaurant with a dear friend and had the best time catching up and enjoying wonderful food. The waitress made a great suggestion and said to share everything, which I now too will suggest if you ever go here.

Lindsey and I started with the Burrata Bruschetta (which I have never shied away from) that was served with basil olive oil. Next was the Farro Antipasti which included beets, almonds, golden raisins, & goat cheese (keep the cheese coming!) this salad was hearty and delicious. I have to admit I can’t remember if I’ve ever had farro before but after that dish I will certainly start trying to have it more. For the pasta dish we decided on the Linguine con Cavolfiore which also included anchovies & garlic. The pasta is made in-house and if you go to the bathroom you can see them make their pasta!! And since no true dinner is complete without dessert we shared the Buttermilk-Vanilla Panna Cotta. It was light and creamy and just the perfect way to end the meal.

For a Sunday night this restaurant was  busy and I can now see why since the food and service were both delightful.
