Perseverance is rewarded for those in search of Italian bistro flare among the sun-blotting skyscrapers of Crabtown's concrete jungle. Ignore the East Pratt Street address belonging to Sotto Caffe, or you'll be aimlessly (and hungrily) wandering around the Inner Harbor. Duck around the Light Street side of the building, through ornate glass doors and down the hall where morning and midday meals await, tending toward Old World offerings. Sometimes, diners don't have the luxury of time, and Sotto Caffe (a cousin to midtown's Sotto Sopra) understands, proffering a tasty range of grab-and-go edibles. Start off your day, or brighten the drab office meeting, with muffins, scones, bear claws, strudel, bagel breakfast sandwiches or seasonal fresh fruit. A create-your-own salad bar, hot buffet (offering meat, fish, pasta and sides) and rotating house specialties make lunch time to ponder delectable decisions. Vegetables, meats, chicken, tuna and shrimp are wrapped in spinach, garlic herb or sun-dried tomato tortillas, while salads, soup du juor, paninis aplenty and pizza are sure-fire satisfiers. If you don't opt for juices or smoothies, Sotto Caffe's coffee drinks will warm you. Get a shot of espresso or a ginger-laced chai, or flavor from a syrupy assortment.
