About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Charming
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

    Our waitress Heather was excellent!!! Service was great. Food was delicious. The pork loin was a little disappointing but the grilled octopus, goat cheese with honey and ricotta doughnuts amazing!! The Prosecco toast for our anniversary was a nice touch! The music was was way too loud. Did not match the romantic atmosphere. That took away from experience. Overall very happy with our evening.

    It’s always amazing every time me and my fiancé dine in. The mood is perfect, the wait staff is excellent and knowledgeable, and the gluten free pasta is TO DIE FOR. Highly recommended for people with allergies or sensitivities.

    the food is always amazing but we had a bad experience with the 15 minute grace period and ended up being seated at the bar after arriving late due to thunderstorm and valet back up
