  • Good for special occasions

  • Charming
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.


*Starting September 9, 2024, Sotto will open for Lunch service Monday - Friday, 11am - 2pm. Reservations are now open.*

    2nd time dining here. Just as amazing as the first time. When we come to Cincy it’s now my first choice to dine. Food and service are amazing. Wait staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and has great recommendations. My husband and I had the black kale Caesar salads, Cacio e pepe, cappellacci then the doughnuts for dessert. I can’t stop thinking about our meal. The best ever!

    Delightful experience with family! Service was prompt and invested. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and patient in sharing just the right amount of detail about the menu and various selections. A fun, yet relaxing energy and the food, as always was outstanding.

    We have en amazing experience every time we come here for dinner and our server Paxton is great as always. The food is always so fresh and delicious. I recommend getting a few pasta dishes with an app or two, easy to share and you’ll want to try a bite of everything! Pasta: Short rib pasta Wild boar Clam linguine Apps: Goat cheese Sourdough Desserts: Ricotta balls All the ice cream flavors Affogato Honestly, all the desserts are amazing. You can’t go wrong! Tell Paxton what you like and let him pick this out for you! He’s great at it.

    Food was amazing. Loved the atmosphere. Only issue was the music was a little too loud so everyone was talking very loud. It was hard to hear the people at our own table. Would still recommend and plan on going back next time we are in town.

    Service was incredible and all food recommendations were wonderful! Our server (I can’t remember the young man’s name, but he had dark hair and a mustache) knew the menu inside and out, was not pretentious when we asked questions, and coursed our food perfectly. Huge shoutout to him! The staff works together as a team to ensure your food is served immediately after it’s ready and your table is always clean and ready for the next course. Love seeing that teamwork and that everyone knows exactly what’s going on. The WC was exceptionally clean! The oil packed tuna and Branzino were amazing and the wine list was fantastic. I was impressed all around and can’t wait to come back.
