Really good!! And not crazy expensive Family Group of 6 My favorite of all that we shared was the Breaded pork loin..Yum The short rib cappellacci was my second favorite The branzino and quail were both quite good, plus we had a few more but I dont remember the names. The garlic bread was excellent..and the gelati and the Corbett affogato with espresso was excellent desert. Definitely would recommend going here for either a nice date night or celebratory, dinner. They kept the table cleared constantly, and we're very attentive. Highly recommend you try Sotto at least once!

I absolutely love this place! The service was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Most importantly, the food offered such a unique taste of Italy, and everything was absolutely delicious. I’m honestly not a big fan of Italian food, but this restaurant completely changed my mind and made me want to come back again. Highly recommend!

Sotto is easily my favorite restaurant. The food is consistently incredible, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is always top-notch. Every meal I’ve had has been amazing, and I recommend it to everyone looking for authentic Italian food. A true Cincinnati gem! Can’t wait till my next visit!

First time in Cincinnati — dined at Sotto the evening after the Flying Pig Half. I went solo and sat at the bar. The ambiance is intimate and very dim, mostly candlelit. It’s a nice vibe, though definitely on the darker side. I ordered the black kale salad, cappellacci (short rib, shallot, thyme), and the branzino. * The kale salad was solid, but a bit heavy on the pecorino. * The cappellacci was decent, though the accompanying elements didn’t quite work for me. * The branzino was cooked well, but overall the dish didn’t stand out in flavor. In general, the food felt underwhelming for the price. My bill was around $100, and I didn’t feel the quality or flavor justified it. Some dishes came across a bit muted — not sure if that’s the intended style, but it didn’t land for me. Parking in the area was also a bit inconvenient. Overall: great ambiance, but the food didn’t meet expectations for the cost. I probably wouldn’t return.

I have been so intimidated by this place but outside of my wallet crying, this was such a gem. I would be here weekly if I could, I can only describe it as fancy chill. Our drinks were: 🥃Italian Stallion (an absolutely beautiful drink with great fire and flavor and idk I loved the etched ice cube lol fav of the night but def packs a punch) 🍹White Russian because my husband drinks sweet drinks LOL 🍸Espresso martini tastiest I have ever had 🍷Birbet dessert wine, a little fizz and mildly sweet We ate: 🍞 fettunta - grilled bread rubbed w/ garlic 🥩tartare di fassone - parmigiano, lemon aioli, breadcrumbs (for the adventurous eater because it is raw beef, I was thrilled, it was tasty not gamey at all and the breadcrumbs give it extra texture) 🥬asparagus - ricotta salata, black pepper, pine nuts 🐗 pappardelle al cinghiale - wild boar, tomato, parmigiano (husband is raving about this dish!) 🍝 cacio e pepe - tonnarelli, black pepper, pecorino (I was hesitant to not have a protein in my pasta but I was insanely impressed how this dish didn’t need it!) 🍮chocolate panna cotta, it was a special and I don’t remember everything that was on it but it tasted SOOOOO much better than it looks.
