We were visiting from DE for a birthday dinner and they did not disappoint! The warm interior and cozy setting with perfect service and food. Couldn't have been better. Recommend the Short Rib Rav
Love this restaurant. The food is excellent, atmosphere is great and the service is outstanding. So efficient.
The wife and I decided we needed a nice night out and were craving some top notch Italian food. Sotto Sopra was a new experience/place for us. The atmosphere was right amounts glitzy, posh and charm (because Baltimore). Our service provided by Jose was excellent and he was very attentive despite the growing customers. Staff wore mask the entire time and the place felt clean and well cared for. All of our food and drinks were top notch. I had the veal stuffed pasta and she had the fettuccine bolognese. I paired mine with a nice Malbec and she tried one of the special cocktails which she was pleased with. Everything was served promptly and to perfection, never having us looking for the time. Sotto Sopra will definitely be a repeat visit for us.
Sotta Sopra, IMHO, is the very best Italian restaurant in the city. In fact, the best restaurant overall. It is a “special occasion” restaurant usually, but if we lived closer we would probably be regulars at the bar for a lite meal. We so missed being able to go during the pandemic but now that we are vaccinated hope to make up for lost time. Tables are spaced nicely apart. The service is always very professional and at the same time personal.
This visit I tried the Short Rib Ravioli. It was fabulous... yet another dish it will be hard to pass up.
Food is excellent and portions are reasonable. Atmosphere is quiet so you can actual have a conversation at the table.
This was my first time. So I can only evaluate the 3 things I had. First the ceasar salad was the BEST I ever had but for $12 it better be. Lots of fresh grated parmasan cheese, a good flavor, maybe needed a bit more dressing but it was so fresh, I let it go. Nothing like the freshes salad ever. That is the best part of the flavor. Second, I had the Fettucine Bolanese and it was good. Wasnt sure if the noodles were home made. It was a nice helping and I took some home. But it was a expense. $25 for spaghetti. But again it was very nice. The dessert was different. I got the Samolina cake with Fig sauce. Taste was odd and different. I didn't finish it. I wished I had gotten the Molten cake with vanilla ice cream. Next time I know. I will still get the ceasar salad tho!
Never disappoints been going to Sotto Sopra for 25 years
Felt like normal times and enjoyed the piano player
Bring back the tiramisu it’s the best in town
A Baltimore tradition. Look forward to it returning to vibrancy with the lockdowns.
Excellent form the get-go. Reservations, adherence to special request, service, attentiveness, professionalism, menu knowledge, quality of food - best Ossobuco I have ever tasted- and old world charm and ambiance. Highly recommend.
Everything was excellent and came out hot at the same time. The halibut was especially good.
It was sad to see so few diners in the place. It has been over 1 year since my last visit. Much has changed but as usual the service was great as well as the food.
Just go. Seriously. Food is incredible every single time. Staff is wonderful.
Excellent service and even better food. I ordered the goat cheese salad as a starter, my husband ordered the lobster bisque both were perfect. The waitress was attentive, and followed up on each of our dishes. For my main I ordered the NY Strip and my husband ordered the Carbonara. Again, both were wonderful.
The place is beautiful and romantic. The food was good.
We absolutely love this restaurant. From the service to the food and the ambience; it is all spectacular. Never had a bad meal there. Try any of the pasta dishes!!
Highly recommend! The food and staff is always amazing.
Best dinner in Baltimore.....time after time after time!
Sat at the bar with a fantastic bartender, Derek. Loved his attention and service
It was so great to be back eating in a restaurant and Sotto Soppra provided such a great experience for Valentine's Day. The service was friendly, timely, and overall great. The carbonara, mussels, and apple strudel were so good!
As always. The food, cocktails, staff we fabulous!
Truly a Gem!
Once again, the service and food were amazing! Everyone does an excellent job and I look forward to returning soon.
Our server Tori was impeccable and the food left nothing to be desired. I strongly recommend Soto Sopra for any occasion!
Delicious. My go-to place. Best Italian (especially their pasta) in Baltimore.
Both waiter and waitress went above and beyond to suggest and brought extras to the table. Was an awesome experience and very thoughtful and delicious
The portions are huge. I ordered a seafood risotto that was NOT good at all, probably the worst risotto I've ever had. I guess it's a restaurant where one wants to be seen rather than dine. Extremely disappointing.
Pandemic menu is (understandably) abbreviated but not reflected on website. You can't, for example, get either of the duck items. Wine is marked up more than 100%.
Delicious food, classic Italian menu yet still interesting! Service is always phenomenal, great wine list with a nice range in price and varietals. A gorgeous interior with high ceilings, so grateful for the staff's conscientious dedication to COVID protocols. Sotto Sopra is a true gem!
Excellent food, ambience and service. The food and artistry are outstanding. Always a favorite!
My dinner experience was truly excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive and the food was delicious.
Easily my favorite restaurant in Baltimore
Service was great and ambiance was good. Food was good but not great
The food at Sotto Sopra is always very good. The service is excellent and the ambiance, accentuated by the restaurant's lovely decor makes for an exceptional dining experience.
A very, very nice CoViD evening out. I was so glad to experience it and especially glad this restaurant is surviving. Derek wore several hats from bartender to server, but managed everything well. Other than so much room between tables, masks and no food sharing, it was as if there were no pandemic. Nice to let it go a little bit.
Really beautiful at Christmas time. Food as always was excellent and the service warm and welcoming. Great cocktails too!
Superb real Italian food. Service was fantastic and felt very safe wrt COVID
One of the better restaurants in Baltimore. Interesting, imaginative and delicious cuisine. Relaxed atmosphere. Good place to go with friends and out-of-town guests. Casual dress, impeccable service. Love that it has both indoor and outdoor dining. Good but reasonably priced wine-list. Always reliable.
As always great food and amazing service
I was visiting my daughter in Baltimore and we decided to try this place out. It is very near her apartment. The menu was very extensive and the food items we selected were generous and delicious. Drinks and wines were excellent as well. Service was excellent. Server very knowledgeable. I would definitely return to this restaurant and highly recommend it.
We really enjoyed our dinner at Sotto Sopra and will definitely be looking to return soon. We haven’t been there since 2017 and it’s too bad we waited so long, especially when we remembered it being very good. Great food, great service, reasonable prices, and the ambiance was nice since it wasn’t too busy or noisy. Definitely a great place to dine Italian in Baltimore city.
Great meal. Food was outstanding
With only 25% capacity from the city
we felt very special and COVID free
Please support these businesses, the city is killing them
