It was our first time here. I love Italian food! However this place was very disappointing. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo ( it was brought to me cold, the Alfredo sauce was watered down) I returned it. My spouse got a shrimp pasta (the noodles were semi hard/undercooked, the shrimp was good). The bread was stale (very chewy/hard to cut and swallow). The Caesar salad was very good (that’s the one thing we requested doubles of). I then order fried calamari and that was the best I’ve had (it was hot, spicy and well seasoned). As for our drinks, my lemonade was good but my spouses orange juice wasn’t expired (it was very sour) the waiter apologized multiple times. Desert was really good though, I had the caramel flan . The tables are extremely close together, and the noise is unbearable. None the less, our waiter was very compassionate and prompt with our service. The greeting at the door was very professional as well. It was worth a try for the first time, but definitely not a second.Owner replied below and said they didn’t have calamari or a shrimp pasta (yes y’all did) on January 28th that’s exactly what we ordered!!! I had a spicy fried calamari appetizer , the shrimp pasta wasn’t Alfredo and my caramel glazed desert. Due to the food being expired or not edible we did not have to pay for the shrimp pasta (free), the drinks (free) and my desert was (FREE).
Sotto Sotto is certainly a don't miss Bucket List restaurant in Atlanta. It is one of the best in the city. The owner is also exceptionally welcoming and you can tell the restaurant is truly a labor of love and hard work. Kudos to the kitchen staff for creating each dish to perfection. The wine list is good and approachable and the olive oils are outstanding. Great bar scene as well
Sotto Sotto pulled out the red carpet for my dad's 70th! It was a beautiful Sunday early evening and we got seated on their patio and they opened up the roof to the sky. With the sun already setting, it was directly beating down on us just a gentle warmth in the distance. Our team to handle our large party was phenomenal and treated my dad so well. The food.. WOW! The food among all of us was incredible! My personal favorite was the pappardelle al sugo d’anatra (Duck rago) which was amazing! The staff cut up his cake and gave a wonderful send off to end an amazing weekend! Thank you all it was a fantastic time!
I was really excited to come here. The pasta was okay... nothing to rave about. I had the Michaelangelo ravioli and hubby had the sweet sausage pasta. If I ever come again, I'll have to try something like the lamb chops or salmon. The ambience was amazing. We sat in the courtyard. My biggest qualm was our server. He took FOREVER to check on us. He brought us water and left after we'd waited so long to be seated. He didn't seem interested in serving us. This was our first time dining here. By the end of the night, I wanted dessert. He came to the table and asked if we wanted a box. I said YES but I also want dessert. He looked at me, then walked away to the table next to us, struck up a conversation, and told them all about the desserts. The only thing our waiter did quickly was bring us the check. I'd chalk it up to him being tired, but he didn't seem to be that way with other tables. I declined dessert whenever he came back and I left disappointed. Needless to say, I doubt I return.
I have always loved this place!! We moved an hour further away a few years ago and do not get to eat here as often as we'd like now. We made the trip to Atlanta for dinner for our anniversary this week though and it was as good as we remembered. Great food, an amazing wine list, cool atmosphere, and excellent servers. I can't wait to go back!!
We had Sotto Sotto on our list of places to check out when in Atlanta and it didn't disappoint. The service was warm and welcoming. The food was excellent and the drinks ? were delicious. Great options for vegetarians too. They had ample seating but we decided to get cozy in a corner of the bar. We also liked how the manager checked in and made us feel welcomed.
I regularly eat at this restaurant and I’m never disappointed. The service is great, they are always extremely welcoming. The wine list is amazing, there’s a great selection to chose from. Their pasta is delicious and cooked to perfection. It’s a great spot for date nights! I recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family!
Amazing staff, drinks, food, and experience! I had the opportunity to enjoy a cut of veal. Although they recommend a medium rare cook for that plate, I chose to go for a medium cook instead. From my taste buds this did not compromise the plate at all. Although, I might need to try it at the recommended cook next time.
Extremely disappointed.We were so excited to come in and try Sotto Sotto, but unfortunately had a terrible dining experience.We waited 45 minutes for our entrees to hit the table. They BOTH came out borderline cold and without the protein they should of came with.BOTH dishes were extremely uncooked..the pasta was hard. I ordered my entree with chicken, and they brought it out with a peice of chicken the size of a quarter.My fiances entree (clam dish) came out with empty shells. It's almost like they just threw empty shells in as a garnish. It wasn't even like the clams separated when cooking..they were no where to be found in the dish.The manager came over and had no solution. They took the entrees off the bill in the end, but never once did anyone offer us something on the house or even a dessert. We left hungry which should never happen at as a diner.The valet tried over charging us too which we ended up catching him in a lie.I will say our server was professional and kind. He mentioned he was new. He also mentioned the chef was off today and the sous were running the kitchen. I was expecting more from management being our first time there and being it was our anniversary.The best part of our meal was the salad and antipasta.I hate leaving reviews like this, but I needed to speak up on this situation so the GM and executive chef can see it.
Had a horrible experience at this place. Did not feel welcomed at all. We were sat at a table in the corner and it took the waiter 30 mins to even acknowledge our presence (they weren't crowed at all, you could pretty much pick your own table it was so empty). When he finally arrived, he never introduced himself, he stood so far away from us that we darn near had to yell for him to hear us (maybe he thought we weren't the type of ppl he wanted to serve). He never even bothered to ask what we wanted to drink. When he finally showed back up to our table about 40 mins after placing our orders, we asked if they had sweet tea and he said, "No. We have can sodas." His service was so horrible that we ended up having to wave down another waitress who in-fact said they DO have tea, and she went and got us some. There was a party of 4 sitting next to us and they spent about $100 on alcohol alone (I was ease dropping on their conversation); they had the pleasure of several different employees visiting their table to ensure they were enjoying their experience. At one point, even the manager came over and mingled with them. The food was decent but the way they made us feel, wasn't even worth the one star I gave them (out of courtesy). Needless to say, I WILL NEVER spend my hard earned money here again... I was so tempted to just get up and walk out, because I felt so aggravated and unwelcome. I hate leaving negative reviews but I have to say, Sotto Sotto SUCKED!
