Read full reviewFood was well presented , detail was great, only problem was the food was lukewarm, both start and were lukewarm, dessert was good flavours, we tried all the meals available on restaurant week ,I find that all the detail goes into the plating and the food is lukewarm at all the fine dining establishments. Maybe the chefs could look at serving a hot plate of food, hate to have meal in winter.. I will be back and recommend the restaurant

Read full reviewWe happened to meet both Jared (part-owner) and Brett (manager) on the night of our dinner at Sotto Sopra. They were both thoroughly entertaining and also very accommodating in making our meal a truly enjoyable one at that. The personal touch in having chatted with management on the night made one feel truly valued as a customer. The food was superb in both taste and presentation. The portion sizes were far smaller than expected (off expectations built-up over the years of our Restaurant Week experiences) - and were really more "tatsers" of each course, rather than a 3-course meal as defined. That said, I believe perhaps there was a miscommunication of sorts between how the Sotta Sopra menu was advertised on the Restaurant Week and how Jared (part-owner) expected it to be advertised. Outside of this, our experience was a truly enjoyable one at that - and the cocktails were ALL the MORE enjoyable! ;-)
Food portions were a tad too small. But tasted delicious.
The food was absolutely lovely and all served within a short amount of time. The portions were a tad small but for the price of the 3 course menu it is completely understandable. I would highly suggest Sotto Sopra for a night out with delicious food and cocktails.
The food was great. The waiting time between the courses was minimal. The only area of improvement is to have bigger portions for a 3 course menu, or keep the portions the same and have the menu be a 4 to 5 course menu. Over all, this was a great restaurant that I will definitely be visiting again.

About Sotto Sopra
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.
Sottosopra pays homage to a bold, dynamic, playful and colourful aesthetic. Plus add the glorious food.
Italian cuisine has influenced food culture around the world and is viewed as a form of art by many.
For Italians, food isn't just nourishment, it is life. "Family gatherings are frequent and often centered around food and the extended networks of families.”
