    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.

    We had a wonderful meal at Sotto Sopra last night, thanks to a gift from my best friend for my birthday. From the moment we were welcomed to the time we left, the staff was attentive and lovely. Riccardo recommended we use the mural painted by his sister as the backdrop for a photo, and he was 100% correct - beautiful. The hostess took several pictures for us, so graciously. We got the calamari and bread service. The calamari was among the best we've ever had. Crisp and tender and served straight from the kitchen. The rosemary bread was delicious. Based on a regular diner's recommendation, I ordered the Frutti di Mare with squid-ink pasta and it was heavenly - and very plentiful! I have enough for my lunch today. My dear one ordered one of the specials, the Fettucine Toscana. That, too, was delicious. From beginning to end, it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Sotto Sopra and can't wait to return for another wonderful evening!

    Overall a very nice experience as usual. However, two of our party of six ordered the Bronzino Fish dish as a main course. Both were sadly overcooked & dry. I was disappointed. The other dishes were up to par, and so the other members of our party had very good meals.
