    Sotto consistently delivers a fantastic dining experience. While the food is always excellent, the service truly sets it apart. On this visit, Sarah was our server, and she was simply amazing. Her menu recommendations were spot-on, her service was exceptional, and her outgoing, personable nature made our evening even more enjoyable. My wife and I began with the Goat Cheese antipasti, then shared the Gnocchi alla Romana, Cappellacci, and Breaded Pork Loin, ranking them in that order – the Gnocchi being a definite highlight! We rounded off the meal with the tasty donuts, perfectly complemented by their chocolate, caramel, and pistachio dips. Our drinks, the Italian Stallion and Amore E Guerra, were also very tasty. We are definitely Sotto fans!

    The experience was divine and the lighting romantic. Superb place to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Food was to die for and our server was absolutely electric as she guided us through the menu and helped us choose a wine. We most definitely appreciate the experience that Tory helped deliver to us including the small half glass of proesecco to do a small toast to my fiance and I being together for 5 years. We will most definitely be back. Thank you Sotto for being amazing.

    Long time Sotto fans. Never been disappointed until this evening. Waited 15 minutes beyond reservation time. The branzino is a favorite of my wife but tonight it arrived drowned in salt. The accompanying broccolini was also oversalted to the point of being inedible. Starter salad was seriously over dressed. If this had been our first time at Sotto I doubt we would ever return but many years of great meals have earned them more consideration than that.

    Delicious food and excellent service. Unique flavors: definitely not your standard red sauce Italian restaurant.

    This was our second time at Sotto. Our server was Paxton and he was phenomenal. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. He’s def a great asset to the restaurant. The food was delicious too. We tried some new things! Great recs from Paxton. Our only feedback for the restaurant is that it was a little warm. Would’ve been nice to have a little bit of a cooler setting or better airflow. Other than that, no complaints!
