Best Casual Restaurants in Norwood

Our reservation for 10 was at 7pm and we arrived about 25 minutes early, but the staff was ready and we were seated right away. Our waiter was extremely attentive and very professional. The food options are diverse and not your normal menu items, which we liked. The food itself.. delicious. We’ll definitely be back 👌🏻

My wife and I have never had better pasta than here at Sotto. We would for sure come back next time we are in Cincy. From the beef short rib pasta, goat cheese app, the the dessert it was beyond amazing. Must try if you can make it while visiting Cincy!

We brought some out-of-town friends and had an absolutely delightful experience! Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience!

Three of us shared a special reunion dinner. The initial hosts were quite polished, yet I felt my guest's attire and my signature (SF Asian Art museum) baseball cap was a possible issue, so I was not surprised when we were sized up and sat in the back/vault. The back was GREAT. More privacy and tons more quiet than the front. The final server we had was THE BEST. He helped us with the menu quickly and seamlessly (he really knew his stuff.) His friendliness was NATURAL, not forced. We were not rushed. Plus he was the perfect balance between professional and friendly. Formal dining etiquette (re clearing and food delivery) were all present and perfect. Yes, this was rather pricy, but I will definitely return, esp for a special occasion. And our server deserved his 30% tip, even if provided by a guy in a baseball cap with casually-dressed guests. ; )

Overall we had a great time. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 pretty easily. The gnocchi, roasted chicken, filet, mushroom flatbread, and stuffed mushrooms were all good. Cocktails were good. The lobster tail was just ok. Very chewy. But hey, we didn’t expect it to be phenomenal. Only real issue was it took forever to get drinks and food. The server tried her hardest but kitchen and bar seemed to be backed up and it was just very slow. She did apologize. Not her fault. We still had a nice time!
