    Service though pleasant was delayed and we felt ignored. The restaurant clearly does not have enough wait staff to accommodate the volume of customers.

    This was our first visit to Otto but definitely will not be our last. It was wonderful. Our server - Ari - was fantastic as was our good. If I had one wish , it would be a scoop of vanilla ice cream with the chocolate cake. Other than that, it was perfection!!!

    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.
