Reviews for Chef Jose Salazar • Mita's Restaurant | Downtown Cincinnat in Cincinnati, OH

A well deserved 5 Stars. Well staffed at all levels, prompt service yet they would all take a moment to ask how you are doing or... how you like the food. Elegant and open atmosphere. Clean, private restrooms with hand towels (research air dryer sanitation ifunfamiliar - any legitimate operation will have hand towels). I had the honor of being their first Cincinnati Restaurant Weekmeal. One of the cooks checked in with me after each course. It was wonderful sharing our passion for culinary creativity. Eachcourse was perfectly prepared, using a variety of ingredients assembled to create a unique experience course bycourse. Mita’s was everything a restaurant should be and more. A big thank you to their entire team! Read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. We always go for special occasions, 3-5 times a year. Mita’s ALWAYS delivers... spectacular food, drink, atmosphere, and service. The menu at Mita’s is updated seasonally, so there’s always something newfor us to try. And their signature options are beyond great! The food is fresh, expertly seasoned and cooked, and beautifullypresented. Our staples here are: shishito peppers, watermelon gazpacho (summer), pulpo, and lamb croquettes. The atmosphere isinviting, background music is lively and never too loud, and the distance between tables is perfect for intimateconversation. The service is always on point here, as well. The staff is friendly, attentive, responsive, and knowledgeableabout what’s in the food and how the various wines taste. Every time I ask for a recommendation on drinks, and ask them tochoose for me, their suggestions are always superb. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you know how to savor food andappreciate culinary excellence, then Mita’s is perfect for you. Read more

SO GOOD!!!! Everything we had was amazing...well...other than a couple of dishes, but that was just my personal taste. The... beauty of tapas is that you get to sample a ton of different plates, hence all the pictures. The tres leches for dessert wasAMAZING! Very cool restaurant. Read more

Me and my wife wanted to try something different. The interior is great. Our server was great. I also appreciated the... “sharing” aspect of the restaurant. The food was good. It peaked my interest enough to go back and try something new again. Read more

Dining experience was excellent. The food was excellent; we tried a variety of dishes. The highlight was the Paella Valenciana -... incredible dish! The atmosphere is very calm and the service is quite polished. We had no problem eating, drinking, and enjoyingone another’s company at this amazing dining experience! Read more

I don’t usually leave negative reviews. What make me think I should review this restaurant is because of the quality of... service, the food, the drinks, and finally the bill doesn’t make sense to me. Starting from the hostess, we walked in,there’s already a group of people waiting and seems to have been waiting for a while. Many staff saw us standing at the doorand no one seems to care. The hostess finally came after chatting with her colleague for a while. The server introduced themenu as traditional tapas (which it’s definitely not). While I don’t mind casual service, for the price I at least hopeservice would be professional (which it’s definitely not). The only tasty food on the table was the blue cheese, which Ithink was from a separate local vendor. Read more

Mita's does not disappoint. The interior design is beautiful and welcoming. We split 6 small plates for the two of us and got a... few glasses of wine. The Pulpo was the star dish, but everything we had popped. I would come back to try more of the menu. Read more

We really thought we would like this restaurant. The inside was beautiful and the food was good but it lacked something. I... didn’t feel welcomed or that I was appreciated for my business. I felt like our server wasn’t attentive and when we wereseated by the host, she seemed like she was too good to seat us. We have been to superb restaurants in this country and world,we were not impressed by Mita’s. Read more
