Lovely refined dininging in the heart of Joburg. A pleasant surprise
Food was delicious. Waiter was not too clued up. On both the menu offerings and the wines. Unfortunately was a party group in the dining area that was quite noisy. So spoilt a bit of the fine dining vibe. But overall was a good experience.
They were so thoughtful and amazing! We had such a wonderful time there. I highly recommend the pork belly,but everything was delicious. Thank you for a great experience celebrating my father who just won an award for his Masters. Wish I could est there more often!
Lovey staff and atmosphere. I had an amazing time
Overall, a lovely experience with excellent food!
The restaurant is bright, colourful and quirky. Lots of interesting decor and furniture items giving it a fun a whimsical vibe.
There was a very loud party booked in one section of the restaurant when we were there, and that was rather loud, but I don't think that ...

There was a very loud party booked in one section of the restaurant when we were there, and that was rather loud, but I don't think that is normal necessarily.
The food is excellent! It is a small, tasting plate type place, so don't expect massive portions. But the flavours, textures, and gorgeous plating is really something you wouldn't get at home. Definitely a special menu.
I'm not sure the wine pairing option was good value, though. The wines were delicious, but only tiny tasting pours. Wine pairing experiences in the past have included some information about the wines, the estate, the tasting notes, and why this pairs well with whatever you are eating. But there was none of that here, which was a bit disappointing. It may have been better to just order a nice wine from the menu.

Cuisine: Italian
Sotto is focused on providing an authentic Italian experience
Sotto is the cooler younger sister and extends the idea of the traditional Italian trattoria experience – serving Roman style (thin) pizza and handmade in-house pasta in a flamboyant, open and relaxing dining area – suitable for quick meetings, sundowners with colleagues or friends or a speedy lunch on-the-go.
Sopra
Sopra offers a luxurious dining experience. The area is decked with a luscious floor to ceiling plant wall, comfortable and cosy seating all behind glass doors that look out onto the buzzing city. It provides the perfect balance of great food and uber chic decoration.
Italian Food & Tradition
In Italian ‘Sotto’ alone means ‘Under’ and ‘Sopra’ means ‘On top’ and together the two words describe something being upside down or topsy turvy.
