Best Date Night Restaurants in Cincinnati

This was not our first trip to Pepp & Dolores, and they never disappoint. As always, we started with the whipped ricotta, and it was as tasty as ever. We followed that with the fried artichokes and the gem salad, and both were delicious. We chose the Limone on our own, and our server made two other outstanding recommendations of the Funghi pasta and the Butternut Squash pasta. The amazing food and service always keeps us coming back!

Sotto never disappoints. Food quality is on point and service is amazing every time.

A wonderfully cozy atmosphere on a cold February evening to celebrate a birthday. It was so nice to not be rushed. The food was delicious.

Start to finish we had an outstanding experience! We were greeted by very friendly staff when we arrived early for our reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. When we were sat, our server, Cameron, introduced himself along with several support staff. They we're all very helpful throughout our meal taking excellent care of us. Of course, the food was outstanding and we were pleasantly surprised that when we wanted to split anything that they did that for us in the kitchen and the split portions were quite large. We ended up taking home quite a lot for a second meal at home which was just as great the second time around. My husband's boneless ribeye was the star of the meal - unbelievably delicious! I had the salmon which was cooked just like I like it - medium rare. The potatoes Anna was a great side dish along with the brussel sprouts. For dessert we went with the standard butter pie ala mode and finished every bite - yummy! 5 Stars from us from beginning to end!

First time dining at this restaurant though we had a great experience at the owners previous place. Came for a quiet, romantic, valentines dinner and were not disappointed. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the dishes, providing recommendations and his own favorites. The ambiance was great for conversation, and since dinner was our main event for the evening we took our time working through the menu and didn’t ever feel rushed despite being a small place on a busy night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventurous foodie dinner. (Don’t forget the Medovik for dessert!)
