Sotto D.c.

We wanted to get dinner and hear live music, and Sotto delivered. The food, music, and service were all excellent. Friend Zone is a well-balanced and interesting bourbon-based cocktail. The molasses bitters give it a really nice long finish. The charcuterie plate was also fantastic, and is easily customized with the server giving us tips on which items were his favorites. We both ordered ragu-- him beef and me lamb. Both were rich and delicious, with the pasta cooked Al dente. We ordered the hefeweizen as our second drink--also an excellent choice. For dessert we had the Nutella cheesecake, which was rich and dense but not too sweet. We enjoyed both of Dante Pope's sets as well. He's a must see if you enjoy live jazz. His voice is just gorgeous. We'll be back!

In Washington for the weekend. Decided to pop by Sotto because of all the good cocktail reviews and I'm glad I did. Very chill atmosphere, with live jazz bands and unique cocktails. The bartender Rodrigo was very friendly and his cocktail making skills are on point. We sampled everything from the original fire, trouble no more, supernaut and new divide (which was my favourite). All the cocktails are very unique in taste and garnished to perfection. I also tried their mustard glazed cauliflower which was delicious and I highly recommend!! Would definitely visit again and I recommend checking out this spot if you haven't!

Amazing atmosphere and vibe. I've been here a few times for the live music on Friday evenings. The drinks are great and bartenders are very experienced. I always see the manager out and about taking an active role in what is going on. I haven't eaten here because honestly the food is too prissy for me, but I love the scene. This would be a great place to have an engagement party or rehearsal dinner for a small-medium wedding. Overall cool place to come to for cocktails.
