Best Casual Restaurants in Newport

We attended the restaurant for a character brunch. The food was good and came in a timely manner. Our waitress, Emily was very polite and full of smiles. It was a hectic time because it was busy for the characters but overall she remained very happy and apologized for not coming to check on us as much as we were understanding because of the event. I highly recommend the restaurant and I definitely will return!

Our dining ex̌perience was fantastic. I heard so much about Sotto and it did not disappoint. Our table of 4 had the following appetizers: ahi tuna, the octopus, and the goat cheese bread. All were delicious!! Our entire consisted of the short rib ravioli the mushroom pasta, the pork, and the white Truffle pasta. Again...all delicious. For dessert, we had the gellato and the doughnuts...Again these were fabulous.

The food was very good as usual; Riley at the front desk was great and service from Samantha was exceptional. We would love to have her as our server anywhere. One down-note, which has nothing to do with the excellent dining experience, is that P&D no longer accepts the InKind payment App; so if you loaded a significant amount of $ on that app, in part because you loved P&D, you will need to use it elsewhere.

Our server was great - he made sure the place was set up well for our kids. We were delighted by the very strong Cuban coffee, great menu options for the kids, and lovely scenic view of the river. The decor was calming and fun to look at after a day at the aquarium. We will be back.

I always look forward to dining at Boca, the food is always delicious and the service is seamless. If you're an oyster fan you should definitely try theirs-you won't find any better. I'm a real fan of their chicken dish -with risotto and carrot. I keep coming back to ordering it because it's perfect! If you're uncertain what wine to choose with your dinner-let the staff help with a good pairing-I enjoyed what our server suggested and it's a good way to try something new. Boca is a real gem of a restaurant and Cincinnati is lucky to have it.
