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

    We just got back from Tuscany and Sotto put us right back there. Authentic and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

    We’ve been to Soto several times, but this was our first occasion going for lunch. After having to unexpectedly cancel my birthday dinner reservations, I was quickly able to get us in for a lunchtime slot. The restaurant was not as busy during the daytime hours and parking was easy to find. The food was fantastic ! Best Eggplant Parmesan I’ve had.

    Delightful meal of short rib pasta, eggplant parm, Caesar salad wih Kale and proscuitto pasta. Blue Oven bread was warm and the salted butter was perfect as was the olive oil. My guests were already raving about the food when the warm donuts arrived to their delighted surprise. Very glad to have reservations as the restaurant was full of holiday diners. Frank the manager was so nice to us also!

    Sotto is always great! Service, food and ambience are fantastic. Always hard to get a reservation on the weekend is the only challenge.

    I’m already dying to go back, the food was so good! The flavors were incredible. Pasta portions were on the smaller side but we still were unable to eat it all. The doughnut holes for dessert were the best!
