Sotto: Cincinnati's Downtown Italian Gem 🍝✨

Tucked away in an unassuming basement in downtown Cincinnati, Sotto is the kind of place you might walk right past — but once you step inside, you understand why it’s one of the city’s most talked-about restaurants. Located near P&G’s global headquarters, the area tends to buzz on weekdays but quiets down on weekends. Though I hadn’t visited in years, a friend’s strong recommendation brought me back — and I’m so glad it did! We ordered nearly a dozen dishes, and each one delivered authentic, soulful Italian flavors. One standout? The eggplant dish (see pic 7) — it may not look like much, but one bite will completely win you over! 🍆❤️ To complement the meal, we enjoyed a bottle of Italian white wine — the perfect pairing for every course. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better… the meal ended with a complimentary plate of Ricotta donuts — warm, fluffy, and the ideal sweet farewell. 🍩 If you’re looking for intimate ambiance, genuine Italian cuisine, and a dining experience that feels both refined and relaxed — Sotto is your spot. #SottoCincinnati #ItalianFood #CincinnatiEats #FineDining #HiddenGems #DateNightSpot
