A great night at Losanti in OTR!2 min read

Holy crap what took me so long to visit Losanti ? Well, I can tell you one thing … I’ll be back very soon! 

Cheers!

The Team! 

Owners Chef Anthony & Haley Sitek have really nailed it with Losanti, the sister restaurant to Crown Republic, another great place in Cincy to put on your list if you haven’t yet. It is almost the year anniversary and they are still going strong in the craziest year in the business. 

Nice partitions for dining safely

And, I Love the name!

Losanti which is a nod to the original name of Cincinnati is a stone throw from Washington Park in the old Anchor location. They have really done a great job creating a soft and warm ambiance both inside and with the outside dining, too. Service (we had Maeve she’s adorbs) was fantastic! The cocktail menu made it really hard to decide (such a great problem).   

Nice bar & great cozy vibe

What did I nosh on? 

Now let’s get to the best part… the FOOD! Even though they are categorized as a steakhouse we went a different direction. Starting with the Mussels and OMG seriously lick the bowl and re-dip the bread, delish. Speaking of bread, we tried the focaccia on Maeve’s reco, and let’s just say carb overload may have gone down… so good. Tuesday is known for “Fried Chicken Night” it is Chef Jenna’s family recipe… totally worth every bite and 100% up my alley. The chicken was a half chicken, served over charred onion mashed potatoes,  topped with tomato gravy that really took it to another level. Who can say “NO” to Gnocchi Al Forno ~ truffle? ..swoon… it was creamy delish. OK, you’re probably full just reading this but oh heck no matter how full I am I always have room for dessert. We happily dug into the highly recommended Butter Cake…mmm warm with a scoop of salted caramel gelato..seriously what a way to end the night. 

I can’t wait to go again and even though they have dinner specials almost every night I will have to try their wonderful steaks. The menu has a wonderful array of choices so there is something for everyone. 

Reality check… I guess in these crazy days I need to give a shout out to the safety factor. Yes, I felt very safe. They have installed partitions and distanced the tables. They also have the outside area which is so cute.
