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

    Porterhouse was an under seasoned but very tender. Short ribbed pasta lacked some of the flavor it had last time we ordered. Still was a good meal and the service was excellent.

    We absolutely loved our experience at Sotto and so did our children, as it was their first time. Our waitress was amazing and the food was incredible! Our kids were raving and can’t wait to go back!

    We’ve been to Soto several times, but this was our first occasion going for lunch. After having to unexpectedly cancel my birthday dinner reservations, I was quickly able to get us in for a lunchtime slot. The restaurant was not as busy during the daytime hours and parking was easy to find. The food was fantastic ! Best Eggplant Parmesan I’ve had.

    Delightful meal of short rib pasta, eggplant parm, Caesar salad wih Kale and proscuitto pasta. Blue Oven bread was warm and the salted butter was perfect as was the olive oil. My guests were already raving about the food when the warm donuts arrived to their delighted surprise. Very glad to have reservations as the restaurant was full of holiday diners. Frank the manager was so nice to us also!
