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 had an amazing experience at Sotto! The first Italian restaurant that took real consideration for gluten free needs. The homemade gluten free pasta tastes just like real pasta and our waitress walked us through the appetizer and dessert menu and let us know what was gluten free and what wasn’t. We ended up ordering three different pastas and an app AND dessert. and every single thing was so good. Will definitely be back.

    Food was excellent. Sotto has always been a family favorite. Very bummed that they did away with their soda fountain. They now charge $4 per 8 ounce bottle. Tiny Coke’s :( didn’t even fill the glass that it was served in. Seems like a complete cash grab. Very disappointing.

    Overall great experience! Only feedback is about music being too loud and everyone has to talk very loud over the musics so it is noisy.

    Gnocchi was maybe the best pasta dish I've ever had. Pork loin was incredible, goat cheese bread and tuna bread apps were incredible, all the desserts were incredible. Only thing that was a tiny tiny inconvenience is that the restaurant was a little dark.
