1401 Republic St., Over-the-Rhine
“The food is amazing. We started with the Brussel sprouts and couldn't eat the fast enough. My daughter and I got the goetta sandwich with no cheese. Yummy with arugula salad on top. My other daughter got the French toast. You could smell the citrus. What a great experience.” -Eileen B.

“Can you marry a restaurant? Or at least seriously court it? If that's possible, Losanti, please accept this rose. … Every aspect of this meal was wonderful from the exceptional service to the careful packing of the carry out food. If you can leave here without to go bag, I would be shocked because everything is so rich, it is really hard to finish a complete dish, even though your stomach will beg you to keep eating because it's so delicious.” -Leah S.

2. Copper & Flame

1115 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine
“Summary: The kindest staff. Food was spectacular. Lots of beers, wine, and even cocktails available to pour yourself. Very neat concept. You get a card that's used to order food and pour drinks. There are 3 different rooms: beers, wine, cocktails. There's a bar on 2nd floor but there was not a bartender available when we went but maybe there is one on the weekends. The bar selections looked great. We found [a] comfortable and cozy space by the fire place to enjoy some drinks and food we ordered downstairs. Both of these items were really good and highly recommended:
-Korean fried chicken wings
-birria tacos” -Kim N.
