   We had a great dining experience at Otto! The chicken Parmesan was absolutely delicious—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The side of pasta with oil and garlic was simple yet outstanding, with just the right balance of flavors. Our server, Hillary, was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The portions were very generous—definitely enough to take home and enjoy for lunch the next day.

   I had noted in the reservation that one of the diners has a garlic, onion, and scallion allergy. The server seemed unaware of this. Even though the food is "made from scratch", we were told that they couldn't do pasta without sauce and the only thing she could have was a grilled Branzino. For $38, she received a plain piece of fish with a lemon and greens. I would have thought something else (like the peas in my meal or the beets that were in my salad could have been added). It makes me think that meals are all pre-done and there isn't much "scratch" taking place. While my food was good, the experience was disappointing and we will not be returning. The lack of ability to make what seemed like a simple accommodation, and the seemingly lack of caring about it did not make for an enjoyable evening.

   Easy parking. Always a pleasant experience. Friendly greeting at the reception desk. Seated readily. Our pleasant and efficient server Kapo greeted us with menus and a drink order. Sat for a short while. After a beautiful description of the specials, our order was in. Enjoyed a fine meal with the appetizer of sausage and broccoli rabe, in addition to Mozzarella Caprese actually served with avocado. The chicken Milanese was excellent. No time for dessert but a decent value.

   Best burrata I’ve ever had and the food was great as always. Great service from Kapo in the main dining room.

   Highly recommend the Bronzino on the menu. Prepared simply, the way fish should be, with lovely broccolini. I added a side of capellini in olive oil and garlic. Outstanding. Our wait person was delightful, available, but not intrusive. The only comment, our table of 4 was seated next to a noisy kitchen entrance in an almost empty room. (I should have asked to be moved, but didn’t). We were also delighted with a roasted shrimp first course served on a bed of white beans and burst tomatoes. My husband delighted in the octopus first course, his favorite.
