    Absolutely delicious! My handmade pumpkin ravioloni was amazing and the tiramisu was perfect. I had the blueberry lemon mule which was so delicious and tart! Our service was accommodating and present while also being unobtrusive. The ambience was romantic, private, and cozy. The only improvement I could suggest would be the bread brought to the table was lame!

    Had a great experience here!! Hidden gem in Baltimore I must say. Food is great and made fresh. They are also very accommodating if you don’t like something in your dish as described on the menu. Servers are knowledgeable and attentive. Food was served hot and was tasty; everyone enjoyed their meals. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because parking sucked and my cappuccino tasted more like milk than coffee. I sent it back and asked for regular coffee instead (which was also extremely light) but was still charged for the cappuccino. But I’ll be back to try other things and skip the coffee!! Go here, you’ll have a great experience!!

    We went to Sotto Sopra’s monthly opera night for our first anniversary and it was the best decision we could have made. The food and service were outstanding and the performances were top notch. The opera singers even performed both of my requests. I can recommend this place enough!

    Excellent restaurant and everything was very well prepared, only thing that upset me was I booked this well in advance for a birthday dinner and I had to remind the waiter at the table, also they chared for a dessert which I do feel could've been a courtesy amenity for both the birthday and having to remind them about it. Still a really nice place with a beautiful atmosphere.

    We dined here before seeing Les Mis. I made my reservation two weeks ahead online. It was a wonderful meal. Our server was very attentive but gave us time to look at the menu, order drinks, appetizer, meals, and dessert. The table was comfortable, the lights, music, atmosphere felt high-end. I’m looking forward to coming again when we have another special date night.

    Our third dining experience within three weeks was just as charming as the first two. It was refreshing to be greeted at the door by several restaurant staff who recognized me- so warm and welcoming. AGAIN, our server was exquisite, the food delicious and the ambiance overall an experience that I will not forget and will share with others. Thank you so much for everything! -Peace... -Paula

    We love going to Sotto Sopra during Restaurant Week. Unlike many other restaurants that are very limited and rigid about their menus during Restaurant Week, we have always found Sotto Sopra to have extensive choices and be very flexible on substitutions or customizations. Last night was no exception. The food was particularly delicious and our server was so knowledgeable and amazing!

    Everything was delicious! We attended Sotto Sopra for Restaurant week and ate a three course meal for $45. I’m used to getting smaller portions for restaurant week but not at Sotto Sopra. Each course was a great portion and tasted delicious! We had the veal ravioli, the squid pasta, and short rib ravioli. All tasted great but my favorite of those three was the veal. On top of great food, the ambiance was very moody/romantic. I highly recommend you try this place.

    A delicious meal. The salmon might be the best I've ever had - crispy outside and almost airy inside. Preceded by a well-constructed salad (though pear slices were a bit too crunchy) and followed by a cube of first-rate bread pudding with a little ice cream. With a 3-course prix fixe meal, I was worried about overeating, but the portions were modest and the meal just right altogether (for me).

    Cocktails were very good. The beef carpaccio was a little bland actually. The fried polenta was so good, would recommend! I had the gnocchi which was good. Husband had the duck breast which was very good. Dessert was cheesecake and chocolate cake - both very good. Waiter Derek was excellent and very friendly and attentive. Would recommend and will return.
