This place was AMAZING! Service was elevated, vibes were off the charts, and the food - I haven’t had a meal that good in a long time. The stuffed figs, streak frites, and seafood risotto were the stars of the show for me.

The highlight was definitely their pumpkin soup, it was delicious though we both thought the balsamic glaze was over powering. Would highly suggest less of it so people can enjoy the flavor of the soup. I also really liked the whiskey cocktail! It was delicious. I ordered the lamb chops for my entree and was sadly disappointed with it. I asked for medium and it came out well done. The waiter took it back and the next one came out medium rare. It was overly salty and the lobster mashed potatoes were very dry. My partner said his squid ink pasta was good. We both really enjoyed their pistachio tiramisu.

What an awesome restaurant. The room is fantastic. Great vibe. Service at the bar before dinner was quick and professional. Dinner was superb. Food was extremely good. We got the $45 pre fix 3 course dinner. The choices were well varied. The best part of dinner was our server Derek. He killed it. Fine dining esque, with just a touch of down played familiarity. Just a great meal. Ps. Their plant game is top notch.

Absolutely delicious food “fancy homemade food” served very well! We went during an extended Restaurant Week special (need to make advance reservations) and were blown away by the truly incredible food at a very reasonable price! The cocktails were not on the special menu but absolutely delicious start to the entire meal. Three of us shared 3 appetizers, 3 main courses, and 3 desserts. The portions were all the generous size normal price items - quite a pleasant surprise. Had to pack leftovers including two desserts uneaten as we were stuffed as there was plenty extra! One of the best Italian meals we’ve had outside of Italy! Will definitely be back

My first time at Sotto Sopra was great. Decided to do a solo date and visit during Baltimore Restaurant Week after looking over the menu & seeing the selection. Overall the experience as 10/10 from service, to food, to ambiance. I sat at the bar and was waited on within the first 5 mins of me arriving. I ordered a mango margarita, calamari as an appetizer, seafood risotto as an entree, and for dessert mascarpone cheesecake. Everything was so good! Presentation was nice & food was well seasoned and taste fresh. I highly recommend the calamari and the seafood risotto! I will definitely be back.
