Authentic Italian food with complex flavors in vaulted cellars

























"The key word at Italian restaurant Sotto Sotto is consistency. The place has been around for nearly 30 years and has remained a neighborhood favorite because pastas like the savory linguine del pescatore are reliably delicious. In the evenings, the lighting dips to romance novel levels, and your meal is soundtracked by soft jazz. Take a date, and order the rich, flaky halibut braised with tomato, white wine, capers, and oregano. And enjoy it while you relax on the soft-lit patio and sip an Italian barolo." - jacinta howard
"Sometimes you just want a relaxed meal. But if you want it on a dreamy, secluded patio with dimmed lighting that practically whispers “get closer," then Inman Park's Sotto Sotto is your most dependable option. Make sure you get a bottle of wine here—the all-Italian wine list is one of the largest in the Southeast. Pair it with the aqua pazza, which is tender, flaky, and braised with tomato and white wine." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford

"A multi-course Italian dining destination known for classic, composed Italian feasts and a reputation as a go-to for celebratory Italian meals." - Beth McKibben

"Nestled in Inman Park near the Eastside Beltline Trail, this cozy Italian spot surprises with a dessert soup. The zuppa al cioccolato is a warm, decadent Belgian chocolate soup topped with hazelnut whipped cream, crunchy hazelnuts, and crisp ciabatta croutons. It’s a rich, unforgettable treat. Pair it with a glass of Taylor Fladgate 2009 Port for a perfect finish to the evening." - Eater Staff
