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

    Overall I did not enjoy our experience. I almost fell down the steep stairs to begin the night. It was to dark and loud. We had never been so we had no idea what to order the server was no help. The food was very bland. Overall we were not happy with our experience especially after all the hype from friends and family.

    The staff at Sotto made our 35th anniversary dinner so special. Their service level and food are always amazing, but last night it was beyond our expectations. That’s why it’s one of our favorites.
