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

    We ended up here by grabbing a last-minute reservation after leaving another area restaurant before we even got drink service. We were so disappointed in the other “well-known restaurant” that we were looking for somewhere else to go quickly to celebrate our anniversary as we couldn’t imagine staying at there for an entire dinner. We ended up being able to grab a last-minute cancellation spot at Soto and we’re so happy that we did! The service was incredible, The ambience was perfect and our server was the best! we cannot wait to come back and cannot recommend this place enough.

    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
