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

    I’m already dying to go back, the food was so good! The flavors were incredible. Pasta portions were on the smaller side but we still were unable to eat it all. The doughnut holes for dessert were the best!

    Everyone was amazing! Our server was so kind and tentative, the bartenders were great, and everything was delicious. The kale caesar is phenomenal and the Cappellacci was literally the best pasta I’ve ever had.

    Our dining ex̌perience was fantastic. I heard so much about Sotto and it did not disappoint. Our table of 4 had the following appetizers: ahi tuna, the octopus, and the goat cheese bread. All were delicious!! Our entire consisted of the short rib ravioli the mushroom pasta, the pork, and the white Truffle pasta. Again...all delicious. For dessert, we had the gellato and the doughnuts...Again these were fabulous.
