  • 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

    The cacio e pepe and the donuts are always amazing, they are a must try! Also, the chicken liver was delectable.

    The food was perfect. The service was slow and the vibe from the waitress wasn’t great, but it’s about the food and that was on point.

    First time joining for lunch! I wish it was a little brighter during the day, but not sure how that would be possible. Overall, the food was excellent. I got the limone pasta and it was okay, wish I got something else. There were wayyy too many pine nuts in that dish. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food, however the men did state they wished the portions were a little bigger or had more chicken protein.

    We shared a salumi and formaggio platter which was very good and enough to take some home. My husband enjoyed his black kale Caesar salad and I like the chicken liver mousse. We both took home some of pasta course--mushroom for him, tajarin for me :) Next time we will request a quiet table. Energetic from the start, a table seated after us had one very loud diner who seriously spoiled our experience. I'm not sure what restaurant managers can do--don't want to alienate a customer I understand, nor embarrass a diner, but geeze--do parents teach manners? Other large tables were very polite, so I think it was just one rude diner.
