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

    We were super excited to try the Lunch menu and it didn’t disappoint. The service was incredibly fast and the quality of food was on par with nightly service. Our server ended up giving us a special treat after our meal, and it made our experience complete. Sotto lunch is a must!

    The food was excellent. But the music was too loud. Could not hear anyone at our table without shouting. It caused a lot of anxiety. You don' want to feel like you just went 5 rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson when you are paying high prices at a fine eating establishment.
