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

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

    The food was fabulous and the service was great. The pasta is very fresh. We bought two pastas to share. The pasta with the braised beef is just the best. The Ricotta donuts for dessert are excellent.

    My wife and I absolutely love Sotto. One of if not the best restaurant in Cincinnati IMO. The homemade pastas here are incredible. Our go to's are the Cacio e Pepe and Capellaci. The Bistecca is always great as well. You will not be disappointed if you give this place a try. Staff and service is top notch.
