The Aperture’s menu reflects three fundamental tenets: intention, balance, and focus. The menu - and its individual dishes - are approached with the objective of putting critical thought into every component, eliminating the extraneous, and ensuring a natural flow across the menu. The culinary program is heavily influenced by the cuisine of the broader Mediterranean region and the simple, seasonal cooking of Southern France, Italy, Greece, and the Levant.Our menu changes often and with the seasons. You can always find our current menu on our website www.theaperturecinci.com.

My wife and I have never had better pasta than here at Sotto. We would for sure come back next time we are in Cincy. From the beef short rib pasta, goat cheese app, the the dessert it was beyond amazing. Must try if you can make it while visiting Cincy!

We had a delightful, delicious and unhurried dinner this evening at Boca. This was important especially because family from LA was with us, and we were given the perfect balance of careful attention and space to enjoy our company

This is my second time back and it was equally as delicious for a table 5 we had seven dishes in small plates. We had the farmers cheese, the bean dish and the stuffed cabbage all so flavorful we try the two dumplings and we were loving every bite. We enjoyed The risotto, the salmon and the short rib stroganoff as well. Literally every bite we were ooohing and ahhhing.
