After a visit to the Taft, we walked over to Subito for lunch. It’s located in Lytle Place Inn We dined in a glassed in area with lots of light and a nice view of the area outside. The staff was very attentive and professional. We both had a turkey sandwich gussied up with cheese and jam. The fries were really good.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience starting with the valet parking—they were very professional, and it continued with the service in the restaurant. Truly fabulous, our every need was met and everyone was so very polite, helpful, and courteous. Everything we ordered was amazing! I highly recommend the restaurant, we will definitely go back.

The service we got was great here. The atmosphere was lovely in the hotel lobby and restaurant. The hot honey pizza was a great mix of spicy and tomatoey. The cacio e Pepe and turkey sandwich were solid. Unfortunately all the fries came out cold. If the lunch was a little more affordable or if they had personal pizzas, I’d come more as I work nearby.

We were on a road trip from Northern OH heading down to Nashville and we stopped here in Cincinnati. We liked the location and atmosphere of this establishment, however, the service and food were definitely nowhere near what is portrayed. We waited over an hour for our food before being given an update and that was only after we asked what was going on, mind you we were the only table here for lunch. We went inside again after some time to see if they would bring out the food and then they brought it out sans one dish that we ordered. The food was well presented and pretty good, but all the pasta dishes were overly salty. The last dish came out undercooked and over salted as well. At the end there were again some difficulties with our to go portion. The undercooked pasta and to go pizza were comped as well as the final total being discounted, but it was still on the more expensive side. Not sure if the price points and troubles are worth it.

Wow, what a great experience. Kristyna was an excellent server and answered all my questions. Started with a great cocktail. Then the Saltimbocca was amazing! And don't skip dessert. I had the Plum Panna Cotta and it was delicious. There are so many other dishes on the menu I want to come back for. Hope it's not too long till I return!

Update: Top notch Italian fine dining. Ate at the bar this time. The swordfish was perfect, as was the Vanilla Pear Mule. The piano player was also great. First visit: Service was excellent, fixed price menu for the holidays was detectible and it cost less than I expected. Cocktails we're great on top of all that. I really liked the little touches like the sorbet palette cleanser and the dessert. Also, I was very comfortable dining alone, thanks to the atmosphere and staff. It's a short walk from the Banks and well worth a visit.

Ready for us at our reservation time. We were a rather large group so we were placed in a very nice private dining area. Drinks were topped off regularly. Everyone enjoyed their food. I broke my pasta fast for this meal & am happy that I did. Saltimbocca was so good. Servers were very gracious & helped with recommendations.

We enjoyed our dinner, The food was delicious, We ordered two NY Stripes that came with Roasted Parmesan potatoes. The salad was additional. We weren't able to be seated in the dining area per the host, nothing was available for over an hour. Had our meal in the hotel lobby bar area. Nice, but seating in the dining area would have been preferred. The hostess gave my husband a slight nose turn up, he wasn't wearing a sport coat. Nothing listed he needed one for dining but she appeared as if he did. She didn't offer or mention other seating options while we waited until we asked. After all that everything was wonderful although dining seating would have been better.
