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.

    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!

    Food was extremely good, innovative dishes and excellent flavors. Our waiter was very helpful with recommendations and suggestions. We ate a many great restaurants on our trip to Cincy and this was a standout. Reserve a table early and be prepared for it to be pretty loud. Absolutely worth it!

    We enjoyed our visit and food, however the reservation said we would be at a high top for two, but we were at a communal table for 10 with people we didn't know. Everything else about the night was great.
