Read full reviewI’m delighted to report that we had a(nother) great meal at Sotto Sopra yesterday. The choices for each course were tempting: innovative & interesting combinations that certainly worked for me. The scallop & artichoke carpaccio with truffle juice was a real winner. Wafer thin slices of scallop that almost melt on the tongue. I would have been happy to have another portion & call that lunch. The pork belly was tasty & moist & very rich & the balsamic ice cream was a delight. Thanks so much to the chef & to the very attentive staff, who made the lunch a memorable one.
PS: Take the wine pairing - you won’t be sorry.

Read full reviewFrom the edgy urban decor to the mellow jazz music in the background, this is a restaurant where you would want to linger for a few hours. The menu for restaurant week was superb. We had the 2 course option and the flavours and presentation of the food were outstanding. On the downside this is nouvelle cuisine so the portions are tiny! The service was good but the waiters were not well informed about the menu and a bit confused about who should be serving us. This was a minor detail however, and the overall experience was most enjoyable.
Perfection all around. The decor. The staff. The food. The atmosphere. Every foodies dream come true

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.
