  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Hot spot
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.


*Starting September 9, 2024, Sotto will open for Lunch service Monday - Friday, 11am - 2pm. Reservations are now open.*

    2nd time dining here. Just as amazing as the first time. When we come to Cincy it’s now my first choice to dine. Food and service are amazing. Wait staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and has great recommendations. My husband and I had the black kale Caesar salads, Cacio e pepe, cappellacci then the doughnuts for dessert. I can’t stop thinking about our meal. The best ever!

    Delightful experience with family! Service was prompt and invested. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and patient in sharing just the right amount of detail about the menu and various selections. A fun, yet relaxing energy and the food, as always was outstanding.

    We have en amazing experience every time we come here for dinner and our server Paxton is great as always. The food is always so fresh and delicious. I recommend getting a few pasta dishes with an app or two, easy to share and you’ll want to try a bite of everything! Pasta: Short rib pasta Wild boar Clam linguine Apps: Goat cheese Sourdough Desserts: Ricotta balls All the ice cream flavors Affogato Honestly, all the desserts are amazing. You can’t go wrong! Tell Paxton what you like and let him pick this out for you! He’s great at it.
