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

    The staff were friendly and the food was overall simple, and very good. Great atmosphere being below ground level. We had a late reservation and never felt rushed.

    The food and service were excellent. The music was a bit too loud and it would have been nice to have holiday music

    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!
