About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • 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

    This was my second time at Sotto, first time for dinner. The food always tastes great however I was surprised that the dinner portions are the same or less than lunch. We ordered the goat cheese bread and received 2 small pieces of bread, while there at lunch prior we received more. The cappellacci was amazing but definitely not filling if eating just that. Also the music was super loud and where we were sat, they had people stand right in front of our table to wait, overall not the best experience. For the price I just expected more at dinner, I’ll just stick to lunch from now on.

    Every experience I have had at Sotto has been great. This one was not due to our table seating. We were sat at a table for 8 with another couple and a group of 4. It was very loud and not a good experience. Normally we would’ve stayed for another drink or dessert, but unfortunately we just wanted to leave.

    The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. Great place for dinner with the family or with a small group. Our only complaint is that the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation.
