About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • 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.


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

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Sotto in Cincinnati is a culinary gem known for its exceptional Italian cuisine and welcoming ambiance. Guests rave about the "amazing food," with standout dishes like the gnocchi and short rib pasta. Service is often described as "outstanding," and the cozy, candle-lit atmosphere adds to the dining experience. However, be aware of the communal seating and noise level, which some find challenging. Overall, Sotto is a beloved destination for both special occasions and casual dining.

    The food was delicious and services was fantastic. However, the chairs are not very comfortable and the music is way too loud mixed with the already loud restaurant. We could barely hear our servers speaking to us and couldn’t hear each other.

    Everything was great. Fantastic service from Connor. Shout out to the Chef on the grill, I think his name is Felipe. Really cool experience watching him cook our entrees to perfection.

    We had a family celebration at Sotto last night. Service was perfect - very helpful and detailed in menu selections but not intrusive. The kale salad, goat cheese and hazelnut bruschetta and grilled octopus were favorite starters. Main dishes included the fabulous short rib (cappellacci), heritage chicken thighs (new menu item) and breaded pork lion (combining the pork, capers and arugula is a flavor explosion in your mouth). Dessert (ricotta doughnuts and chocolate budino) and beverages (Italian stallions, expresso martini, Barbera red wine) rounded out the perfect meal.

    Birthday celebration with my wife and kids. Our waitress, Tori (sp?) knocked it out of the park. She was energetic, kind, attentive. She knew the menu and pairings in a way few others have presented in the past. She is a great asset for the group. Food was fantastic as always. A few creative menu items recently added which spiced things up. You can never go wrong choosing Sotto for a night out. Thanks again for a great time and wonderful family dinner celebration!

    This was my husband’s first time at Sotto, and he said it was the best pasta he’d ever had! That’s why I brought him here🤭
