It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance. Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. It’s undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter. Above all, Sotto is Italian.


Now Open for Lunch Service Monday - Friday, 11am - 2pm

    Sotto is itself an experience to remember! We enjoyed a laid-back birthday lunch, starting with goat cheese and hazelnut honey on grilled bread. Everything from the cocktails to the eggplant parmigiana was delicious – although the bombolotti all'amatriciana could have used less salt. Ricotta doughnuts were a nice complement on the house to finish the meal.

    True Italian, quality food. The server was very helpful with recommendations. We chose to do family style with a variety of plates to try.

    Everything was delicious! Our server Meg recommended the tuna and egg bread and we loved it. We tried the arugula salad, short rib pasta, and of course the donuts. Everything was top-notch!

    We ended up here by grabbing a last-minute reservation after leaving another area restaurant before we even got drink service. We were so disappointed in the other “well-known restaurant” that we were looking for somewhere else to go quickly to celebrate our anniversary as we couldn’t imagine staying at there for an entire dinner. We ended up being able to grab a last-minute cancellation spot at Soto and we’re so happy that we did! The service was incredible, The ambience was perfect and our server was the best! we cannot wait to come back and cannot recommend this place enough.
