SOTTO SOTTO Ristorante

Delicious food! I loved the antipasto gordonia. The grilled tiger shrimp were fantastic. The atmosphere was more on the upscale side. My only issue was that there really isn’t any parking nearby so you basically have to use the valet parking. Other than this, everything was great.

Excellent service, but the food fell short of expectations. We ordered the soup of the day (zucchini cream), pappardelle pasta (with mushroom), veal, the pasta of the day (gnocchi in lamb ragu), and the creme caramel for dessert. The soup came a bit cold and had an unexpected seafood aftertaste. The pappardelle pasta was probably the best main course meal, but still not as good as other pasta in the city (piano piano, annabelle, amano, etc.). The gnocchi itself was great, but the lamb ragu was more acidic/sour side and the lamb was not the star of the dish. The veal was nicely charred, but i would rather order a different meat item (maybe steak or lamb next time?). The dessert was fabulous. I would consider trying the risotto and the cannoli should i return in the future. I think most of the hype is around the location and the celebrity pictures. It really proved that not everything that costs more is actually better (in terms of flavour, texture, etc.).

Food was okay. I strongly believe just about everything but the Risotto is reheated then served... the meat balls tasted bland, the octopus was tasty but felt like that too was reheated/ microwaved... the grilled vegetables and seafood for the Antipasto was probably reheated/ microwaved... The good?... the Seafood Risotto was by far some of the best risotto I've ever had! Basically the one thing one must try when dining here.
