    It was the beginning of restaurant week in Baltimore City. I’m usually not a fan of restaurant week, but I have to say that the menu that they offered was outstanding. We actually went on the early side and had a lovely meal. We invited another couple and they absolutely loved everything about it. A huge success.

    We had a lovely date night at Sotto Sopra. The service was excellent. I believe our server’s name was Andrew. The food was delicious and very worth the value. Can’t wait to go back soon!

    We allowed ourselves to be tempted by the Tuesday summer special: any pasta dish + a glass of wine for $25. I ordered the seafood pasta with squid ink linguini and it was yummy! My husband had the spinach ravioli and it was perfectly prepared - pillow puffs filled with spinach and cheese. As a starter, we had the strawberry salad with feta cheese fritters - very light and summery. For dessert we shared the mascarpone cheesecake, which was also very good.

    The atmosphere is charming and the service was excellent All the waiter’s recommendations were spot on. The pasta and the tiramisu were amazing. The Chicken was dry though as it it had been cooked earlier in the day and reheated - short rib ravioli was outstanding!

    I was really excited to take my wife here for her birthday this year. We've been wanting to try this place out since we moved to Baltimore a couple years ago. Only gripe is that the hostess never gave the chit to the server to let him know what we were celebrating that night and we awkwardly said something at the end of dinner asking if he was aware that we were celebrating. He seemed shocked and definitely wasn't aware until we said something. That being said, he did quickly recover and made up for it with a fun dessert! I could see he felt bad that he didn't know until the end. Just hope this isn't an occurrence that happens too often here! Other than that, the atmosphere, food and service are all excellent and would dine at again with friends and family in the future.

    This was our second time and it was just a good as the first. We started with the strawberry fennel and goat salad - delicious. And both of us had to have the pasta carbonara! Fabulous!

    When a restaurant gets it right, the customer is the winner. Sotto Sopra gets it right! Riccardo, the owner, is always looking for creative ways to enhance the dining experience for his customers. Summer Camp Specials are available from Monday thru Thursday until August 31, 2025 – each night he is offering something special. We came on a Tuesday for “Tuesday with Morrie.” What a delicious idea – any pasta on the menu and a glass of red or white wine for $25.00! We could not wait to give it a try. We made a reservation for 4 of us at 6:30 PM. We were warmly greeted and seated at our favorite table. Jason, our server, came over right away to get us started with drinks. He was very friendly and attentive to our every need. Our friend decided to have a Tito’s on the rocks. We did start with an Antipasto Misto, which was a beautifully plated assortment of meats, cheeses, olives, crostini, marinated vegetables, salad greens and so much more. It was so delicious and more than enough for the four of us. We enjoyed two glasses of a very crisp Pinot Grigio and two glasses of a robust Montepulciano wine. Our friends had the Creamy Carbonara alla Sotto Sopra – a spaghetti with smoked bacon, egg, cream and parmesan, and the Pappardelle Fra Diavolo – homemade pappardelle, fresh tomato sauce, shrimp, red pepper flakes and parmesan. Both were thrilled with their pasta – the Fra Diavolo (Devil Pasta) had a little kick to it. My husband had the Shortrib Ravioli – shortrib stuffed ravioli, shiitake mushroom, pancetta, sage, butter sauce. I asked them to make for me Pasta alla Gregorio –spaghetti with garlic, olive oil, spinach, tomatoes, basil, and shaved parmesan. Our dishes were heavenly. We could not have been more pleased with our dinners, the service, and the wines. “Tuesday with Morrie” is definitely a winner. If you have never been to Sotto Sopra, you are missing out on a wonderful dining experience. Now with these Summer Camp Specials, you can’t miss this

    Our server, Andrew, was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and a total pleasure. His service enhanced our experience. The food—fantastic! From the ceviche appetizer, easily shareable, to the generously double cut lamb chops and a bowl brimming with fresh seafood and homemade squid ink pasta - all prepared to perfection. The dessert menu was so tempting we made room for gelato and the most delicate pistachio tiramisu. A fabulous night, enough to encourage us to actually come into the city to do it all again soon.

    We came for a birthday and had a very good experience- helpful waiter, delicious food, charming ambience. The complementary little birthday treat with a fizzy candle was a nice touch! The upscale decor - high ceilings and large paintings - certainly added to the special occasion.
