5 stars all around. As an East Coast transplant who grew up in an Italian family, this brought me back years. This is the best Italian food I have had here in 10 years. Our waiter was great telling us tales from the kitchen and family times that had me nostalgic. The food is authentic and outstanding. The atmosphere is magnificent. The old chianti bottles hanging and the table candles tie it all together with the red checkered tablecloth. The minestrone soup blew me away.

Have eaten here two days in a row. The lasagna was so affordable, and sounded amazing. What I received was almost 3x the amount of food I expected. Which almost made me doubt ordering the meatballs….until I took a bite. My gosh, perfectly cooked with the best flavor and texture. Coated in such a beautifully sticky marinara. And obviously — the garlic bread. All I have to say. The garlic bread.

A true hidden GEM. Very hard to find a true authentic Italian family owned small business. This one has been in business for a long long time and for good reason. Top notch quality in every area. The only thing that made us a bit nervous was the old italian worker who was upset yelling and complaining loudly in the back- it had to be a family feud; hahaha we just tried to laugh it off and focus on the food and setting.

First time. Atmosphere sets the stage for a pleasant evening and dining experience. Food and service was good. You need to set reservations because they are full.

What a great time at Scotti’s! Soup and salad included in meal. The Garlic bread was delicious and I got the stuffed lasagna. So much food had to get a take home box. The desert was great too! Thanks to our server Marco!!! He was awesome!

While this could be the oldest Italian Restaurant in Cincinnati and has one of the largest selection of Italian dishes I have ever seen it does not have the flavor of good Italian food.
