    The food is always distinctive and great. Bravo. We greatly enjoyed grilled pimentos shisito peppers, yucca rolls with salsa, jicama mango lime salad, fish stew. The empanadas were good. The service was friendly, but a little slower than normal. Enjoy.

    Fantastic dinner with friends. Everything was perfect & not rushed. We think the waiter was Jake & he was really excellent! From dietary restrictions to the pace of the meal, he just did a superb job!

    We were in Cincinnati for a long weekend from NYC and this place did not disappoint. Reminded us of some of the better places we dined in back home. From the decor to the service and food all of it was excellent. The paella was definitely worth the wait, just make sure to let the server know if you have some place to be like a show or what not. The crab tapas was also out of this world. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cincinnati!

    Mita's brings you an inspiring and welcoming experience to try new and exciting flavors along with some of the classic eats that we love, a shareable plate for every palate. Chef Jose Salazar has curated each dish to a level where you can taste the thoughtfulness, creativity, and excellence in every bite. The food is remarkable but so is the beautifully designed restaurant itself, modern, open and bright, with bold Spanish colors, and complimentary patterns throughout. The staff is outstanding, and the service is superior. Highly recommend to locals and visitors for any and all occasions.
