I took my adult daughter here for a Saturday lunch. They have 9-inch pizzas on their lunch menu, which is the perfect size for lunch. The wood-fired pizza is crunchy with a smokey flavor...very tasty. Everyone can get the pizza they want, which is nice. Pizzas were $10 and soft drinks $3; not bad for OTR.

I cannot say enough about the service and meal we received here. We started with sharing a goat cheese and fig bruschetta which was lovely. Then we decided on the salt crusted branzio for two. That was amazing. Every thing was cooked to perfection. And the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place.Wow Randall, thank you so much for the kind words! We hope to see you again soon for another great experience!

Finally something different than the ususal and ordinary Cincinnati steak- house. Straight forward menu just to point, clear and with proper choises. I took a fish appetizer (grilled octopus) and artic char as main course. Both very well prepared and superbly presented. Genuine and tasty ingredients, lovely vegetables and expert utilization of dressing, that was very delicate. The octopus better than the char. I finshed with cheese plate, that was also great. Very good catch that I will visit again and recommend

Low quality ingredients prepared in a too artificial way: far too much sweet balsamic vinegar on everything, probably to make us feel we are in an Italian place, but it is just a low-end American kind of food.Average service, not very professional.Too expensive for what it is, not worth it.

A good place to eat with excellent pizza. Very friendly staff, located a very short drive from aquarium, and delicious pizza. We had quick service, restaurant was clean and well maintained. Would recommend. There was no changing table for a baby in the restroom but otherwise great place!

My son proclaimed this to be the best pizza he has ever had. I just may have to agree. The ingredients were uniquely light, fresh, and delicious. The crust was fluffy and tasty. Both salads were light and deliciously healthy. It deserves its rating as the top restaurant in Newport! I also liked how several waiters helped us with everything and had complete autonomy as if we were their own.
1. Sotto
Overall Ratings

It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance.Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. Itâs undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter.Above all, Sotto is Italian.

Had a bit of a strange meal at Sotto but it was an absolutely lovely place. The meal from start to finish was excellent. The pasta dishes were amazing and well worth going for. The strange bit was the rather emotional conversation my friend and I had, however it also highlighted how lovely the staff was. Our server was pretty incredible at providing spot-on service while giving us the space to talk. I am sure he was rather confused but still really did an amazing job of taking care of us. Would highly highly recommend.
