"My wife and I were bar hopping and came across Louvino's. We had never heard of it, but we left Japp's and thought we'd give it a try. We are super glad we did. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a drink. We decided to order some food and it was absolutely delicious. I had the double smash burger (no bun) and a side salad. My wife had the shrimp and grits. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The service was good and the staff was friendly. It is almost immediately off The Connector, so super easy to get to. Go if you get the chance."

"Went to celebrate my friend's birthday after a wonderful service at church. Multiple employees walked past our group of 6 and when we were finally greeted we were told we needed to have a reservation. They claimed to be booked for the rest of the day and that there was no way that we could be seated. The restaurant was not busy and there were plenty of open tables. A family walked in after us who did not seem to have a reservation was immediately seated. Just out of curiosity I went onto their website and low and behold.... they had availability to reserve, so I did. It was 12:05pm and the reservation was for 12:15pm. After showing the reservation the host said, "Oh, so you found a loophole. We'll clean off a table for you." After such an unpleasant experience we decided to take our business elsewhere. Love their food, but this experience seemed discriminatory and I will no longer support a restaurant with such poor service."

"I usually love this place but am currently blown away by how we were just treated. The hostess was delivering water and very politely said be right with you. The bartender then came over and in a very aggressive voice asked if we had a reservation. When we replied no…he told us they were not accepting walk ins (half the tables were empty) when we asked if we could sit at the bar he said sorry all full up…there were 3 empty stools. It was not worth the argument so we left and took our business to Che’…I love Louvino but they lost a customer tonight forever"

"This is only the second bad review I have left in my life. We did the 4-course pre-fix menu for New Years ($100/person) and the experience was just not good. The person who greeted was rude when we arrived 14 minutes early and asked us to sit at the bar until our reservation time. Over half the restaurant was empty which should have been our sign to leave. We went back to the host stand at our reservation time and had to flag someone else down to seat us. The first course, which was advertised on their menu and online, was oysters and straight up just never came to us or anyone else around. The main course of filet was very tough and the crème brûlée was completely runny and undercooked (seriously, it was liquid). The rest of the food was mediocre at best. Just not what should be expected for a $250 meal for 2 (not including drinks). The second star here is just for our server/bartender who barely spoke to us but only because it was obvious he was embarrassed. We have been here many times, loved it, and are so disappointed it has gone downhill like this. Maybe it was just a bad night but it’s unacceptable for the price. We won’t be back."

"Terrible service that I’ve ever experienced in Cincinnati. Our experience here was awful. There are literally 2 servers serving almost 50 tables. Ridiculous. Our server had no clue about the menu, when we asked her a few questions she checked with the chef and still gave us the wrong recommendation. She made us wait for a long long time to refill our coffee and water, she was never there when we wanted to order something. We ordered Brussels sprouts and they’re not properly cooked, they were very hard to chew. The fries were good with ranch. We visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, but she had ruined my day. Never going there again."
