A spacious, modern restaurant with a surprise, featuring a private and welcoming internal courtyard where we dined. I suggest turning down the background music slightly to facilitate conversation at the table, but it wasn't excessive.
The wait for our order was a bit long (when we arrived, there were only 10 of us, and we were at another table). The menu includes appetizers, pinsa, sandwiches, and meat. We ordered 6 sandwiches for the little ones and 2 pinsa for 4 adults, 1 coke, 3 bottles of water, 3 beers, and a portion of fries for 100 euros, an average of the latest increases. I think the €12 price tag for a piano and hamburger is excessive, regardless of the location.
A positive note for me was the free liqueur after payment. I really appreciate it because it shows attention and courtesy to the customer, something that rarely happens these days. Congratulations.
We had a great time and will return when we're in Ruvo.

The place is aesthetically pleasing and the food is quite good, but the prices are decidedly high. A friend of mine had a single medium beer and paid €8.50 (€7 for the beer + €1.50 cover charge). It's fine for eating out if you're willing to spend a bit, but definitely not recommended for those who just want a drink.

Great pub, excellent food with new and seasonal specials. Excellent beers and a variety of options. A well-kept, new atmosphere. Matches can be watched.

The place looks very good: the environment is well-kept, pleasant and welcoming. The staff was also friendly and helpful, creating a positive atmosphere right away.
Unfortunately, however, the pinse do not live up to expectations. The dough is too thin and hard, with a consistency that makes it difficult to even cut them. The excessively salty seasoning covers every other flavor, making the experience unappetizing.
Too bad, because with such a pleasant environment and such kind staff, a little more attention in the kitchen would really make a difference.

At the moment the place par excellence in Ruvo di Puglia. If you want to spend an evening at Sottano you are at peace. The owners are efficient and Giampaolo in particular is super knowledgeable about beers. You can see that there is a lot of work behind it. Due to various private commitments, I can't go there as much as I would like, but I recommend the place to everyone.

What a great find! In addition to the interior that recalls typical American pubs, there is also a very nice outdoor space in stone. We had two excellent hamburgers, mine vegetarian with a vegetable burger, which are served with French fries and sauces. Wide selection of beers. We had a really good time, as soon as we are in the area we will gladly return.

I have been to this pub several times and have always been satisfied. The food and beers are excellent, the place has a nice style and you can see that there is care and commitment behind every detail. The staff is kind and always smiling. The icing on the cake is the friendliness of the owner. I highly recommend it!!

A pair of tongs...simple...less seasoned and small cannot cost €10... It's a total steal

Il Sottano is like home.
8 beers on tap, perfectly poured, some in three times as required (lager, stout, IPA, blanche);
huge choice of craft beers in cans, excellent Session and Jap proposed by Gianpaolo;
artisanal pinse, Che Sara and Sapore di Sale are my favourites;
Very good Club Sandwich;
French fries, one leads to another;
beautiful venue, inside and out;
Gianpaolo and all the staff were welcoming, helpful and smiling like few others.
I don't think we can ask for more.
Recommended for drinking, for dining, for sitting at the counter!
