At Sotto, Executive Chef Steve Samson and Chef de Cuisine Craig Towe deliver an honest, market-driven menu of regionally-inspired Southern Italian dishes, including fresh housemade pastas and Neapolitan pizza cooked in an artisan wood burning oven. This wood burning oven was built onsite by Neapolitan craftsmen with traditional techniques that have been passed on from generation to generation and is the first of its kind in the Los Angeles area.

Our food is complemented by a fresh, seasonally relevant cocktail program with a strong background in the classics and the utilization of lesser known Italian liqueurs. We also offer an eclectic list of boutique wines from Southern Italy.

Delicious! This is our go-to when we're on this side of town. The asparagus and mushroom pizza are to die for. Enjoy!

Sotto has long been one of our favorite restaurants, and we're sad for the loss. We were frequent patrons. We had a reservation to dine there last Monday and arrived with our guest to find the sign on the door saying they had closed shop. I must say that not having received a prior alert seemed a chilly, somewhat shabby ending to an otherwise happy experience.

Sotto is such a fabulous place, the staff is beyond amazing and too good to be true. I hope they land on their feet, I was very sad to hear the restaurant will be closing soon. I wish them all the best and hope that Sotto and the family they have created survives, because the experience is unparalleled. On top of a beautiful ambiance, the food is impeccable. Thank you Sotto!!

I LOVE SOTO.. We had a reservation before the announcement that they were closing. It was a sad and cheerful vibe. My table of 3 ended up as a table of 6. Drinking cocktails from the old menu. It was fun and sad. I will miss sotto. I wish the best of luck for the staff.

It's definitely a popular venue based on how crowded it was on a Sunday night. Service was impeccable. My water glass was repeatedly refilled when it was down a third of a glass. The server was very gracious and knowledgeable. I found the food a little plain. Parking is very difficult on the street.

This is one of my favorite new restaurants in LA. It’s simple food but absolutely amazing flavors. I always do a wood fired pizza and meatballs on the side. They have great wines as well! Can’t wait to go back...

I love the food here, but my only negative comment about this restaurant is the extreme noise level. "Energetic" is the option that's given above (which is a nice way to say "deafening"), but there are no sound-absorbing features in the seating area and so when it's full of people, the noise is unbelievably loud (which only increases because people have to shout to be heard). Love the food, love the feel -- and I would recommend it (and indeed, have recommended it), but I wish it weren't so excruciatingly loud. My ears were ringing when I left. (And tis wasn't because they were blasting music either -- it simply is what happens when you have an enclosed space with a lot of people talking simultaneously. )

This place is my absolute favorite for Italian on any occasion. I have been for birthdays, date nights, casual dinner and more! This is the place I take friends and family that come to town. I love the ambience, the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD.. in particular the Fiorata pizza. The staff is so knowledgeable and make you feel like the most important guest in the dining room. Did I mention it's my favorite place ever?

Did not inform that water will be $7 and opened a new one for us because we finished it. Service was not the best and did not help us find our lost necklace at the restaurant. Overall, the experience was whatever....

Consistently great food and one of the best happy hours in the neighbourhood. The Pizzas are a must - especially the mushroom - and the lamb ragu is a stand-out pasta dish. Great wine list and the service is always friendly and efficient. It's a classy place.
