Sotto Sotto Restaurant

Nestled on North Highland Avenue in the vibrant Inman Park district, Sotto Sotto offers an intimate Italian dining experience that has delighted Atlantians for over 15 years. Chef Riccardo Ullio, trained in Italy’s historic regions, crafts each plate with reverence for tradition, from the 15th‑century tortelli di Michelangelo—pillowy ravioli filled with veal, chicken, and pork bathed in butter‑sage sauce—to the fragrant risotto al basilico made with Carnaroli rice, heirloom tomatoes, and fresh summer basil. The menu also showcases tagliatelle ai funghi, seafood risotto with briny mussels and shrimp, and a seasonal black‑truffle tasting that earned the restaurant multiple Creative Loafing accolades. The dining room blends rustic wood, soft amber lighting, and an open kitchen view, while the adjoining patio, framed by the BeltLine’s green corridor, provides a breezy setting for sunset cocktails such as the house‑made Negroni. Sotto Sotto operates cash‑less, accepting only credit and debit cards, and welcomes reservations via Resy or OpenTable. Hours run Monday‑Thursday 5:30 pm‑11 pm, Friday‑Saturday 5:30 pm‑12 am, and Sunday 5:30 pm‑10 pm. Guests can also host private events in a private room or on the patio, with tailored menus and curated wine pairings from the extensive list. Whether you’re a local seeking a refined night out or a visitor exploring Atlanta’s culinary scene, Sotto Sotto delivers authentic Italian flavors, attentive service, and a warm, elegant atmosphere that feels both timeless and distinctly Atlanta. The wine list, curated by sommelier Marco Bianchi, showcases Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino, and natural selections that pair perfectly with the seasonal dishes. Gift cards are available for holiday gifting, and the patio overlooks the BeltLine’s green corridor, perfect for a sunset aperitif.
