Yelp.com Review - by Catie L.

3.0 of 5 stars. I thought is was OK. Nice place, good atmosphere. A 92 year old business in the heart of Cincinnati. I got the Half n Half, which was spaghetti with meatballs and ravioli. The ravioli was very good....

Yelp.com Review - by Paul F.

4.0 of 5 stars. We came down here mosty for the nostalgia. It's a 97-year-old restaurant that probably hasn't changed much since it was founded. From the ceramic tile on the walls (yep, all of the walls!) to the...

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...

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...

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer R.

3.0 of 5 stars. Pretty good food, awesome decor. I'm a little frightened of the service, which is on the thin line between funny and rude. It was fine for a lunch with coworkers, but I can't imagine being on a date...

Yelp.com Review - by Heather W.

3.0 of 5 stars. It's a quaint location with sassy service and very traditional Italian food. I prefer Campanello's sweet sauce...The bread is just plain bad - it was stale and dry and hard (even the garlic bread).

5.0 of 5 stars. Good luck finding this hole-in the Wall Italian place. Having been around at least 30 years you expect this family place to have character and it does. Looks ancient inside. Well done food. Way...

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...

I have to agree with the most recent review - this place is over rated and over priced. My husband and I went here with another couple and were excited to try Scotti's, especially my husband who is Italian and...

Horrible Customer Service!!! Food ok.

Went to Scotti's based on a recommendation. Soup was fantastic! Most of our party enjoyed their meal (a bit pricey $21 a plate). Quarters were a little cramped and we sat by the door which got a little cold....

Awful, Awful, Awful

Went here years ago and liked it. The restaurant used to be run by an Italian lady and her kids. I think the kids have taken over. It was by far the worst Italian meal I had in years. The food actually tasted...

Weak Italian Food in a Strange Setting

I want to see all restaurants downtown thrive but I've got to call it the way I see it. I grew up here, moved to the New York area and now I'm back with some perspective. The food at Scotti's was basically...

A Classical Experience!

My first trip to Scotti's was in 1988 on a first date, Momma told us to "shut up and eat your salad, your food is coming", she then yelled at my date for not having ordered wine telling him he was "dense" (she...

Great Southern Italian Cooking

We've been going to Scotti's for more than a few decades. Guido would entertain and serve while Momma cooked in the kitchen. If you gave them any pretention, then watchout, you're likely to get slugged my...

over rated

The service was good, but the food wasn't. The Italian sausage was a store bought variety and looked awfully close to a plain old frank, which was surprising given the high price.

I've eaten at Scotti's several times over the years and think of it often. It is an Italian restaurant from an older time with classic Southern recipes. The food's a lot heavier than today's norm, the flavors...

The best kept secret in Cincinnati!

Authentic Italian food and a great atmosphere. You can't ask for better service. The worst thing I can say about Scotti's is the servings are huge! Be prepared to have it for lunch the next day.
