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

    Food was excellent and service from Hillary was outstanding. Portions were good. We shared the pappardelle wild bore pasta and chicken thighs. Drinks were great as well.

    While the restaurant is really dark and a little on the loud side, the service and food make up for it . The prosciutto arugula is full of flavor and the truffle pasta is out of this world! I would bet that everything on the menu is killer!! Very thankful for the server’s guidance and suggestions. It was helpful for this was my first time dining at Soto.

    Food was phenomenal and service was great. Never disappointed when I leave Sotto. Can’t go wrong with the goat cheese app and cappellacci. Oh and can’t forget about the donuts.

    Consistently the best restaurant in Cincinnati. The service knows the menu well. Always save room for dessert. The ricotta donuts are unique and might be the best thing in the menu.
