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.


*Starting September 9, 2024, Sotto will open for Lunch service Monday - Friday, 11am - 2pm. Reservations are now open.*

    Once again, we really enjoyed our dinner at Sotto. One of the very best in Cincinnati. We usually go there and sit at the bar, but this time we were able to secure a table reservation. It was a little on the loud side, so a bit difficult to hear. And the font on the menu is hard to read in the darker atmosphere. We ordered the chicken liver… yummy, with a lot of garlic. The short rib pasta was terrific and tasty. And we ordered the steak for the table. That was amazing and well worth the price. The potato side dish was a little on the salty side, but the asparagus was delicious. We will go back!

    Tory was terrific. Food was fantastic. Background music really didn’t fit the ambiance. No question I am hard of hearing. But very difficult to vary conversation.

    Max was fantastic! Service and courses were timed impeccably, and everything was delicious. We had a wonderful time bringing first-time guests with us to celebrate their birthdays. They were as wowed by the entire experience as we expected they would be. We are so excited each time we have the opportunity to bring out-of-town guests to dine at Sotto.
