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

    While the restaurant is really dark and a little on the loud side, the service and food make up for it . The prosciutto arugula is full of flavor and the truffle pasta is out of this world! I would bet that everything on the menu is killer!! Very thankful for the server’s guidance and suggestions. It was helpful for this was my first time dining at Soto.

    Food was phenomenal and service was great. Never disappointed when I leave Sotto. Can’t go wrong with the goat cheese app and cappellacci. Oh and can’t forget about the donuts.

    Consistently the best restaurant in Cincinnati. The service knows the menu well. Always save room for dessert. The ricotta donuts are unique and might be the best thing in the menu.

    Start with walking in. Kind of cool heading down into Sotto. Kind of like walking down into a cellar. The atmosphere is kind of dark and almost mysterious. Almost like stepping back in time. Molly was our waitress. Such a great spirit and so friendly. She was very informative and very knowledgeable when it came to the menu. She made great recommendations throughout the evening. Would definitely enjoy having her again when here. Can always tell a nice and clean restaurant by their bathrooms. Very clean not only by site but by smell. Bonus - Nice to have real individual towels to dry your hands instead of paper towels. Ok the food. I understand now why it's #1 on Yelp Elite top 25 list. Simply amazing. Look forward to coming back and trying more dishes. Will suggest if you come here order different things and try each other's dishes. Makes it a memorable experience. Everything we had was outstanding. The donuts for dessert are a Must. Thanks again to our waitress Molly. She truly made our dining experience at Sotto that much more enjoyable.

    Our reservation was about 20-30 minutes behind but they were very apologetic and provided us with a free salad. Great experience overall as always.
