I cannot say enough about the service and meal we received here. We started with sharing a goat cheese and fig bruschetta which was lovely. Then we decided on the salt crusted branzio for two. That was amazing. Every thing was cooked to perfection. And the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place.Wow Randall, thank you so much for the kind words! We hope to see you again soon for another great experience!

Low quality ingredients prepared in a too artificial way: far too much sweet balsamic vinegar on everything, probably to make us feel we are in an Italian place, but it is just a low-end American kind of food.Average service, not very professional.Too expensive for what it is, not worth it.

The food was excellent, best Chicken Alfredo ever!!! Everyone agreed their food was very good. However, the waitress was rude and did not give refills often and seemed annoyed when we asked for refills or more bread.

It is many years since we dined at Maggiano's, but it will not be long before we return. It was a birthday dinner for my wife and we could not have chosen a better venue. We were greeted promptly and seated immediately. Our server, Shelby, was excellent, very courteous, warm and friendly. She asked if it was a special occasion and when told about the birthday she later returned with a card and a coupon for a future visit. The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and welcoming and all of the servers were cheerful and appeared to be enjoying themselves. We started with "stuffed mushrooms" followed by a side salad and then our entree's were "stuffed scampi" and "chicken saltimboca". All the food was well prepared and there was ample entree so we took some home for dinner the following evening. To complete the evening there was a plate of lemon cookies for my wife. All in all a very enjoyable evening. We are already thinking of a good reason to return.

I took my adult daughter here for a Saturday lunch. They have 9-inch pizzas on their lunch menu, which is the perfect size for lunch. The wood-fired pizza is crunchy with a smokey flavor...very tasty. Everyone can get the pizza they want, which is nice. Pizzas were $10 and soft drinks $3; not bad for OTR.

My son proclaimed this to be the best pizza he has ever had. I just may have to agree. The ingredients were uniquely light, fresh, and delicious. The crust was fluffy and tasty. Both salads were light and deliciously healthy. It deserves its rating as the top restaurant in Newport! I also liked how several waiters helped us with everything and had complete autonomy as if we were their own.

Finally something different than the ususal and ordinary Cincinnati steak- house. Straight forward menu just to point, clear and with proper choises. I took a fish appetizer (grilled octopus) and artic char as main course. Both very well prepared and superbly presented. Genuine and tasty ingredients, lovely vegetables and expert utilization of dressing, that was very delicate. The octopus better than the char. I finshed with cheese plate, that was also great. Very good catch that I will visit again and recommend

It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance.Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. Itâs undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter.Above all, Sotto is Italian.

Definitely try this restaurant, but get a reservation as they are always full of patrons! The octopus was the best Iâve ever had! Patrick our server was outstanding, I mean really amazing and knowledgeable of the menu! Take his advice and order his recommendations! The branzino was fantastic and the pasta was perfection! The short rib raviolis were scrumptious! I canât say enough about this rustic Italian restaurant, itâs really delicious.
