Christmas Day was made very special by Sotto Sopra. From the ambiance of this beautifully decorated 1850 building, to the wonderful staff, each with a smile to greet and serve you. But the food; that was the star of the day! The calamari was exceptional and definitely not you mama's calamari! It's a must have. And the goat cheese salad, amazing! The seafood pasta was loaded with lobster, crab and shrimp, and swirled in a luxurious sauce. The pork shank with risotto was very tasty and very filling. We ordered the the bread pudding and cheesecake to go as we were so full after our meal, and will have it this morning with our coffee. I just know both will be a great start to the day. Thanks to Sotto Sopra for making our Christmas day so special.

Soooo, I did chat with the manager…our server got overwhelmed and seemed to miss a drink order and when I inquired she b came very moody. I even shared with the manager that I apologize for upsetting her, it didn’t change the behavior and completely impacted our experience. The staff seemed under prepared for the evening.

This restaurant should really be considered one of the top two or three restaurants in Little Italy. Their food is awesome. The service… It’s personal. If you’re looking to get in and out in 15 minutes, this isn’t your place… But if you’re looking for a fantastic meal, reasonably priced, in a comfortable casual dining room with thoughtful old school service, this is your place!
