Sudova is a captivating addition to Cincinnati's dining scene, offering "creative and traditional" Eastern European dishes that are "delicately prepared." The charming atmosphere, complete with a cozy interior and magical courtyard, complements the "exceptional" food and "warm" service. Despite some noise and pacing issues, it remains a "wonderful" dining experience that guests can't wait to revisit.

    This was our first visit, and it was wonderful, if a bit dark! We needed our flashlight to read the menu. We were not familiar with Ukranian dishes. The server described each of the dishes and wines; she was spot on. We had the borscht which had the right amount of beef and sweet beets with a hint of sauerkraut which was also in the rye perogies. The bit of apple butter with the perogies was a lovely bit of sweetness. The Kvasolya (beans with feta) was flavorful but some of the beans were a bit undercooked. The tomato sauce on the cabbage rolls was neither sweet or acidic which in my opinion is hard to find in Cincinnati. All the dishes were large enough that we had leftovers. We splurged on the cake, Medovik, a layer cake with very light apple-cardamon cream between the layers.

    Go here to try something different and delicious. We tried two small plates and one large plate, and all were good. Server was helpful and friendly. Really nice decor/atmosphere, especially at the bar. Don’t be afraid to make a reserve a seat there.

    What a treat! Fresh takes on traditional Eastern European foods, both known and new. The dishes were well prepared, including a tomato sauce on the cabbage rolls that I’m still thinking about! We ate at the bar and our bartender was phenomenal, knowledgeable about the food and the drinks.

    The decor was tasteful and well done, and the food was good overall. However, the coursed format isn’t my favorite way to enjoy a meal, and the experience felt rushed—dishes came out quickly, and we received the bill before we were even finished. Our table was at the very back in the noisiest area, which was frustrating, especially since I had requested a better table in my reservation. While the meal was enjoyable in parts, the overall execution felt a bit underwhelming.

    Such a lovely addition to the dining scene in Cincinnati. The restaurant is beautiful, the food is a delightful dive into Eastern European foods, and the owner and staff are top notch. We will return soon to try some of the other items on the menu. Terrific evening in every way!!

    My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Sudova. The food and service was amazing. It was a bit loud but that wasn’t a big issue. We would definitely visit again.

    It was our third time eating at Sudova, and it somehow gets better every time! Food, service, ambiance, all amazing. Staff is helpful, food is well-paced, everything is delicious. Don't sleep on the Kartoplya Paprikas! Cocktail program is one of the best in the city. 10/10

    Sudova was delicious across the board! This was my second visit; after dining with friends five days earlier, I knew it would be the perfect place to take the guy I'm dating because he loves the types of food on the menu and has specifically mentioned Khachapuri as something he wants to make someday. While that was a highlight, every course was delicious, specialty cocktails were enjoyed, and our server Johnna was perfectly attentive. I look forward to many more visits to Sudova!
