We came to Sotto Sopra for a birthday celebration. So very glad we did. Everything was perfect. The service was attentive and caring. Everyone made us feel special and welcomed. The food was simply delicious. The meal started with a wonderful Burrata Capreses. For our main course, I had a fantastic diabolo pasta while the birthday girl had veal. Dessert was special with dark chocolate mousse. I recommend it all. So glad we came for dinner and we look forward to our return soon.
