Scotti's Italian Restaurant - (513) 721-9484

Wednesday @ 5:30pm and no one but us (3) were there! By 7pm it was 1/2 full and still coming in. We went prior to an Aranoff show. I had the Veal Sporti but asked for it spicy (diavolo) which they did and it WAS! Great. Toasted Italian bread with garlic was terrific. Dessert was freakin' awesome! We split Tiramisu and Canoli: both 2nd to none! I'll go back even if it's just for dessert! WOW!

If you are tired of the chain "italian" restaurants, go to Scotti's for some real food. For the person who complained of high prices -- if you make your pasta, cook with high quality ingredients such as cheeses - you should be fairly compensated. If you prefer Olive Garden's fast food rendition of pasta - go there. You get what you pay for.

We were in town for a weekend. A local suggested we try Scotti's when we asked for a recommendation. It was such a good experience that I went back again the next night. Charming and quaint atmosphere. Loved the unique salad. Enjoyed a conversation with the friendly owner on Thursday evening when the crowd was a bit smaller. Went back on Friday evening and it was much more crowded but the owner still took the time to say hello. Enjoyed the food and had plenty of it.
