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

    Sotto is my favorite restaurant. The menu is always tasty and excellent. The waiter, Jason is personable and very helpful with the menu. The new gnocchi entree is delicious. Also love all the salads! You can't go wrong with anything they have on the menu. The ricotta donuts are a must for dessert.

    My only criticism is the noise level and coming down the stairs into the restaurant was very dark and dangerous for us old folks. The choices brilliant and the food perfection! Our server Emily was outstanding and the general manager helpful, responsive and cordial. The bar expansive and a great place to eat if reservations are difficult to make. Did I emphasize how delicious the food and excellent service.

    Cincinnati is so lucky to have this authentic Italian gem. I always feel like I could be back in Rome, when I dine there.

    Wonderful dining experience for a recent birthday celebration. Food & drinks were delicious. We had the charcuterie, salad, pasta and fish. I highly recommend the doughnuts for dessert. Wait staff was caring and attentive.
