Ottimo House Trattoria

first of all the ambience is great! we came down to the restaurant on a rainy day since we didn't want to leave the hotel and we were pleasantly surprised! our waitress amelia was very kind and patient. while ordering our food, she informed us that it was ladies' night and we were entitled to aperol spritzes and gelato. before our food arrived, we received fresh parmesan bread and also some amuse-bouche. the pasta was great and we added some extra parmesan cheese which made it taste nicer. thank you for the pleasant surprise and wonderful experience! we would love to come back

Had a Birthday lunch at Ottimo House today with my friends, wonderful atmosphere and professional staff especially Chef Cuong and Mister Alvin. I loved every single dish, but the mashed potato and French butter was exceptional.

The complimentary bread can make you stuffed. The bread was delicious. Staff were also accomodating to give me butter and reheat the bread after some timeS See my uploaded photos and videos. This is a high star for them. We ordered quattro formagi, rib eye steak, wagyu themed pasta, and smoked tuna for appetizer. I had tiger beer draft which was very good and my parents had pepsi max. You can see in the restaurant how they prepare pizza and you’ll know its gonna be good. We went in for a dinner. My suggestions are these: to have a dinner course menu, and to add selections on food menu, staff were accomodating and they were well versed in english. Next time i visit HCMC, i will be back here for the buffet “the canvas” and for this restaurant.

I had a truly fantastic lunch at the Italian restaurant at Lotte Hotel. Everything, from the ambiance to the food, was incredibly impressive. Atmosphere and Service: The restaurant environment is very elegant and comfortable. The service staff were professional and attentive. Culinary Highlights: We sampled several dishes, and each one demonstrated high quality and superb cooking technique: • Salad: The appetizer salad was fresh and complex. It featured fresh figs, apple, and greens, and the dressing was absolutely delicious—a great start to the meal. • Truffle Pizza: The truffle and mushroom pizza is a must-try! The crust was perfectly baked, and the intense truffle aroma, mushrooms, and melted cheese combined perfectly. • Pasta: The wide rigatoni pasta was coated in a rich ragu sauce. The sauce clung nicely to the tubes, topped with plenty of Parmesan cheese. It had a firm texture and a classic, comforting flavor. • Dessert: Tiramisu was the perfect ending. The cream was smooth, the cocoa powder was perfectly balanced between bitter and sweet, and the flavor was delicate and satisfying. Summary: This Italian restaurant is highly recommended, suitable for dates, business meals, or special celebrations. If you are looking for top-tier Italian cuisine in Ho Chi Minh City, the Lotte Hotel's restaurant will certainly not disappoint!

Service is excellent! Bread was outstanding! Tuna tartare sucked. Not fresh. Not sure what happened to the burrata salad! Very confusing looking! Gelatin wrapped/encased burrata. Tried the dressing with the chicken milanese. No help! Chicken milanese was super dry. Short ribs…..this was not short ribs or anything I have ever seen before! Nothing Italian here! Update: The restaurant asked for my information to make it up - I reached out to the restaurant and hotel on 3 occasions. No answer. No call. Nothing!!!!
