Our server Diego is AMAZING. When my friend and I first came here a couple months ago he was our server and we so happened to get him again by a great coincidence! Food is amazing and so is the drinks. Would 100% recommend, and would recommend the server Diego! read more

AMAZING, FANTASTIC & EXQUISITE!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the outside, I love the big planters (foliage) outside the restaurant, it catches your eye and it's aesthetically pleasing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon entering the restaurant, the decor (art) on walls is gorgeous! I love the red velvet like material that is the backing of the seating along the entire wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I especially loved the dimness of the restaurant and that "real" candies are lit, it gives it a very close-knit intimate type of vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the branzino, it was a nice size, and it was paired with mash potatoes and asparagus of which the fish was placed over top of the mash potatoes and asparagus. The branzino was fresh and the taste was scrumptious. The mussels were in a tomato like wine sauce and it was so flavorful and delectable! My husband ordered the beef ravioli and the ravioli was so fresh and really good. The drinks were really tasty. To finish the night, we shared a cheesecake it was divine. Service was great, the food came out quick and was well-plated, and there is VIP complimentary valet. I loved everything about this restaurant and the experience that we had & we'll definitely be back. read more

Riccardo, the owner of Sotto Sopra, is always so creative. He is offering for his 2nd Summer Camp at Sotto Sopra something special for his guests on Sunday through Thursday. We went for Tuesday with Morrie, where they were offering Special Pastas plus Wine for $30.00. I made a reservation for 6:00PM and requested our favorite table to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Christa, was at the top of her game - attentive and friendly. She started us off with home-made, warm bread, bread sticks, and a dish of seasoned olive oil. We both enjoyed a glass of Pinot Grigio that was crisp and very refreshing. We decided on Calamari Fritti as one of our appetizers, which was a great selection of fried calamari and mixed veggies lightly battered and fried to perfection and served with ranch and marinara sauce. We could not finish our appetizer, so we asked to have the remainder boxed to take home for lunch the next day. For our main course, we both chose the Fettuccine Con Short Rib Ragu. This was a beautifully presented dish of homemade fettuccine with a generous portion of short-rib ragu topped with burrata cheese. We have to say we have never experienced such a combination of flavors. The dish was amazing and more than filling. Thank you for surprising us with the delicious sorbetto with a lit sparkler and two limoncellos to celebrate my husband's birthday. Thank you for creating a wonderful dining experience and special birthday memory for us! read more

It has been over 11 years since my last review, and Sotto Spora still hits the spot. Never misses. They always run a really nice special around tax season in which you can get $15 select pastas and $7 select wines and cocktails. So I decided to stop in for a nice dinner and wine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was pretty much packed, but I was able to get a table since it was just me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dinner was pretty simple for me, I love their spaghetti bolognaise and my fave Montepulciano wine. For an appetizer I love the beef carpaccio( that was not apart of the special). And it is also their 30th anniversary so they have some really nice specials going on. If your in the Mount Vernon section, make sure you stop in you will not be dissapointed SYOY read more

Sotto Sopra has been my favorite Baltimore restaurant for a few years now, and anytime I come back - they prove why. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off, the ambience is fantastic. The waiters are friendly, the smell of the restaurant is phenomenal, and it's a lovely, intimate space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food - believe it or not - is really the star of the show. They have plenty of GF options, and right now they are running their 30th anniversary special. $65 pre-fixe menu with a few items offered that have a slight upcharge. Either way, it's a fantastic deal. My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary (our first date was here two years ago) & both did the pre-fixe. I got the seasonal octopus salad, the duck leg, & the seasonal banana brûlée. All of it was incredible. Obviously, if you want pasta - they have plenty of great options to choose from & everything is just so fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For the price (even without the 30th anniversary pre-fixe!), ambience, and QUALITY - you seriously can't beat Sotto Sopra[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My boyfriend and I love to try different "finer dining" around the city - and all roads lead us back to here. read more

There is nothing quite like feeling special. Mark took me to one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore tonight to celebrate my birthday, which is Monday. Imagine my surprise when we arrived at the door, I was immediately greeted by Riccardo, the Chef-Owner, who called me by name, wished me a happy birthday, introduced himself to Mark and escorted us to our table. Riccardo then promptly delivered two glasses of Prosecco and stood to chat with us for a while. It made me feel so very special and welcomed! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You do not come to Sotto Sopra Restaurant for dinner; you come for an experience. And from the second we arrived, every moment was filled with pleasure to our senses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food, drink, music, atmosphere, kindness, attentiveness, warmth and ambiance -- all perfection.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I so admire Riccardo for his life philosophy and business acumen. He puts his entire heart and soul into his restaurant and it shows. He knows that success lies in how you treat people and that same spirit was embodied by all of the staff. They are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year; that doesn't happen by accident or luck. This was a birthday dinner I'll not soon forget. Thank you, Mark. Thank you, Riccardo. read more

Sotto Sopra has been on my list to try for a while now and I'm SO happy I finally did. I decided to dine here for restaurant week and am already so excited to go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was great and the restaurant is quaint, dark, yet lively and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Sotto Sopra flatbread with prosciutto and truffle oil was the perfect way to start my meal. Crispy yet chewy, with the best salty yet sweet taste. My short rib ravioli was amazing, especially with the mushrooms. The gnocchi bolognese was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. My glass of Cabernet was full and the perfect accompaniment to my pasta. For dessert, the strawberry cheesecake was the real winner but we were scraping the pistachio crème brûlée clean, as well. It was the perfect meal. Unfortunately, the complimentary valet was not available on this night, however, there was a parking garage just around the corner. read more

We had a nice experience overall. The complimentary valet parking was a great touch and made arrival easy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, the restaurant has a very romantic, dimly lit atmosphere, though the tables are quite close together and it does get pretty loud as the night goes on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The focaccia was fantastic and a definite highlight. The gnocchi bolognese was just okay--the bolognese felt a bit heavy when paired with the gnocchi and didn't quite shine. Dessert, however, was excellent. The pistachio tiramisu was light, well-balanced, and a great way to end the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A solid spot with a lovely ambiance and some standout elements, especially the bread and dessert.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Throughly enjoyed our visit to Soto Sopra and would recommend if you're in the area. There is free valet parking as well as street parking in the area, but it can be a bit tough so definitely take advantage of the free valet. To share (4 of us) we got a bottle of wine, calamari, and antipasto misto. Both apps were good but the calamari was my preference. For my main I got the Pappardelle Fra Diavolo which had a generous amount of shrimp. Great flavor and fresh pasta. For dessert we shared the pistachio tiramisu which was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. Our server was knowledgeable and shared menu recommendations based on our preferences. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was reminiscent of an old school Italian spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 5/5 dinner experience! Recommend making a reservation as they get busy. read more

I decided to come here a few times with two of my girlfriends because they were running the restaurant week specials. This made it easy to come. Try out Sotto because we've never been to it before. So let's start with the atmosphere and the restaurant floor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's very cozy, very inviting and the candles that they have that are real candles. Create this air of just ease and relaxation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There isn't a set dress code, but it's very clear when you go in that you should be at least business casual and that goes with the vibe of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried out various different dishes that were on restaurant week, including the calamari, the gnocchi and pretty much everything we could because three courses for $45 is an amazing deal. The rosé is probably my favorite wine that they have there and the cocktails are very good including the espresso martinis. My first date got the gnocchi and they don't usually like gnocchi but it was amazing and very tasty. Very light different than sometimes regular gnocchi that's very heavy. The calamari was delicious and I enjoyed the lemon slices that they had in there that they also fried. We need to go back so that we can try out the different desserts and maybe just go in and try out some of the different options that they have at Sotto. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables were clean and if we dropped any forks we got new ones immediately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick and fast but we did not feel rushed in any way shape or form. The focaccia that they provide with the little bread basket when you first sit is amazing and goes very well with wine or drinks. I also enjoy that they have options for you to choose out their event experiences with operas, so we plan to check that out one time. For those that don't drink, they also have mocktails. Their mocktails are quite tasty, very refreshing, nothing too heavy. You can get different options of wine, champagne, dessert, drinks while you're there. The tiramisu was great and I did enjoy the cheesecake. read more

The inside is beautiful. High ceilings with large paintings and mirrors. The service provided by everyone here was wonderful. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio to start. They brought out complimentary focaccia bread with an olive oil and balsamic dip that was quite good. It was Baltimore Restaurant Week recently and Sotto Sopra had extended their 3 course menu which we ordered off of. Between us, we shared the Watermelon Salad and Maryland Style Mussels for appetizers, Pan-Seared Atlantic King Salmon and Short Rib Risotto entrees, and Crème Brûlée and Almond Cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. The watermelon was fresh and the feta cheese and crumbled pistachio paired great with it. I loved the coconut broth from the mussels. The citrus and lobster infused mashed potatoes with the salmon was divine. The short rib with risotto was seasoned well and quite filling. Both the desserts were delicious as well. No complaints on anything. It was all so good! Cannot wait to dine here again. read more

This was a phenomenal dining experience. The only negative part of the experience was that the dining room was too dark - it was hard to read the menu. Other than that, everything was exquisite. The service was attentive but not overbearing, the decor and vibe were intimate, and the food was so good we could not pick a favorite dish. We ate: Feta & Watermelon Salad - This was elevated with crushed pistachios, honey, and super salty feta. Caprese - Made with perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes, burrata, and shaved fennel for a little surprise crunch. It is a classic, and was executed perfectly. Lamb Chops - These were truly outstanding. They had a salty, herbed crust and were cooked perfectly to our preferred temperature. The lobster mashed potatoes were also very unexpected. Bolognese - This was a very chunky, hearty, savory sauce, where you could still taste a bit of the red wine. The pappardelle was cooked perfectly. Cappuccino - literally the best one I've ver had. We came here for restaurant week and the dining experience was significantly better than expected. I can't wait to go back. read more

3.5 Food: for apps, we tried the Caesar salad (good), bruschetta (ok), calamari (good), the entrees were unfortunately disappointing across the board - bolognese (hamburger helper vibes), shrimp fra diavola (good flavor but not enough pasta), steak (by far the most expensive item and a very fatty cut). The pistachio tiramisu was delicious. Ambiance: dimly lit and moody vibe, Andrea bocelli playing at a pleasant volume. Service: outstanding - Darrick was lovely, attentive, friendly. read more

Came here for my friend's birthday and this place didn't disappoint! [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment you walk in, it's a warm and inviting ambiance with candles and dimly lit lights that make it feel very intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the ravioli dell'amore and it was the best tasting pasta I've ever had! So flavorful and filling. The service was great too and even brought my friend a scoop of ice cream with a candle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a perfect place to celebrate her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute for date night or a birthday dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pasta is homemade and I could really taste the difference.

We ate there last night with our daughter and some friends. The food was great and the service was impeccable. We had the ravioli, rack of lambs, calamari, and the branzino. All were made to perfection. I honestly loved the lobster infused mashed potatoes and the broccoli was not overcooked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was really nice. It would be great for a date night as it was dimly lit and had light music in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not too large of a restaurant and had plenty of spacing between tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely come back next time we are in town. read more

I came here for the March 2025 opera night with a group of friends, and we all had an amazing time. Every dish was magnificent! Opera night comes with a pre-set menu for each course, but you can ask for substitutions if any party member has dietary restrictions or allergies. The pre-set menu (and any substitutions) come at a pre-set cost, and drinks (cafe/espresso, alcohol, mocktails) are an additional charge. I stuck with the original menu (no changes), and every single dish was very tasty! Opera night is amazing, and so much fun! The opera singers walk between tables and take song requests. They sing between courses while the kitchen works on the next dish, and one person coordinates timing with the kitchen so they finish a new song right as the food is ready to come out. The entire experience is very unique, and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! You definitely need to try this at least once if you're in the area! I highly recommend it! read more

5 experience. It's been a few years since we last dined at Sotto Sopra. Went in a little concerned because the area isn't as vibrant as it once was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was full. No empty tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Exceeded expectations. 5pm reservation for a 8pm show at Hippodrome. 3 course prix fix for 4. Timed perfect . Not rushed. started with a Cucumber martini, excellent! Watermelon feta salad, so fresh and light followed by spinach ricotta ravioli- the ravioli was delicious, again light, not too heavy. Presentation of the mascarpone cheesecake was a work of art. Our waitress was a professional, Anastasia was spot on with service and her story completed the evening. We will definitely be going back and recommending to everyone. read more

Restaurant Week Review 01/2025 (3 courses for $45): SERVICE: I came here with a group of seven and the service was outstanding. Despite all the orders we made. the servers gave us the right dishes, without messing up. FOOD: I had the Duck Confit, which was incredibly flavorful and tender. The wild mushroom risotto underneath was the perfect pairing to the meatiness of the duck. For the appetizer, I had the Italian sausage, which I was not too fond of. It was only one Italian sausage cut in half, on top of a bed of polenta and onions and peppers. In my opinion, it was a boring dish in terms of execution. For dessert, I had the vanilla crème brûlée. The menu said that there would be a strawberry and raspberry garnish. I got no strawberries and instead only two raspberries. It's not a big deal, but the menu did say strawberries. DRINKS: Our bartender, Terrance, was very kind and knowledgeable on the cocktail menus. I got the Spezialo ($14), which is a rum based cocktail. It was the perfect balance between sweetness from the rose syrup and elderflower and the tanginess from the lemon. Each component worked so well together without any of the flavors being overpowering this is a cocktail. I highly recommend. AMBIANCE: For a Monday night, it was pretty busy. Everything looked immaculate, including the bathrooms. The restaurant was giving upscale vibes without overly expensive prices. read more

We are from out of town and had reservations here after a visit to the Baltimore Museum of Art. We each had a glass of wine and shared the goat cheese salad.

This is probably on your list of places to go for date night. Stop waiting, go! The ambiance is beautiful and vintage classic. The lighting is dim so perfect for a romantic night with your primary or secondary partner. The food was exquisite.

The one negative to share was the "pound cake" with "sauce" that was passed off as tres leches cake. read more

I ordered a glass of white wine, the pumpkin pasta with Italian sausage, and the pistachio tiramisu--wasn't wowed by anything, also wasn't disappointed by anything (other than the service, which was sloooooow).

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little unsuspecting place inside--just didn't love the (faux?) plant that's branches basically became part of my hair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Lovely spot for a date night or celebratory meal! They have valet parking which is a nice feature because it's tough to park around the restaurant. The sauce itself has high ceilings and curtains everywhere resembling a theatre, it's a lovely vibe. I would say it's on the upscale end of the spectrum so opt for an outfit that's a bit more elevated (avoid sweatshirts and sneakers). The service was great. We were seated quickly and the wait staff was very attentive. We ordered a bottle of wine and our glasses were never less than half full! We had the cauliflower soup (delicious, hearty, not too creamy) and the Caesar salad for appetizers. I ordered a raviolo dish from the specials, which was just okay. My boyfriend ordered the fettuccine Bolognese which was definitely the hit of the night! We were too full for dessert but the spread looked lovely. Hope to come back and try them! read more

Delicious Italian in Mount Vernon! The vibe inside was amazing. It feels romantic and regal. There's a lot of space. The server was funny and kind and ensured we were taken care of! Got the burrata to share, which was great! (Can never go wrong). There were several vegetarian pastas, and I got the ravioli which I would recommend! Overall, delicious place. read more

I visited Sotto Sopra for Restaurant Week, having driven past it countless times--so glad I did. I kicked things off with the Tomato Caprese (burrata, arugula, fennel, fresh tomatoes, gold balsamic) and and calamari, they were both balanced and so delicious. This was the best seasoned calamari I've had in baltimore. For the main, the Creamy Carbonara alla Sotto Sopra (smoked bacon, cream, egg, parmesan) was rich and comforting; it paired nicely with the menu's upscale vibe. Dessert brought two standouts: the pistachio tiramisu was absolutely delicious smooth, nutty, and indulgent--and the pistachio crème brûlée with its passion-fruit twist was.. an interesting flavor. The classic version is more my taste but I appreciate the creativity. My espresso martini was divine, and our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout. The ambiance felt ideal for a date night, classy yet warm. Plus, I noticed they offer opera-themed evenings with preset menus, which sounds like a wonderful special-occasion treat. Overall, Restaurant Week was a killer deal, and Sotto Sopra delivered on flavor, service, and atmosphere. read more

Amazing date night on Charles st! My wife and I celebrated our montheversary at sotto sopra, an elegant low lighting restaurant with high ceilings, red drapes and artistic murals. Upon walking in the door was opened for us and we were escorted to our seat. Our waiter came momentarily and welcomed us to the establishment as he explained the specials. I was very pleased when he shared that pasta can be ordered in half portions so I decided to splurge. I ordered the fruitti de mare and ricotta gnocchi. The seafood pasta was absolutely amazing and well seasoned the squid ink pasta blended well and did not have a weird aftertaste. The squid shrimp and octopus was fresh and had an amazing texture as well. The gnocchi was a bit lackluster and I was a bit disappointed. I am a fan of pesto however this one was more on the soup side and didn't really have a flavor to It. I ended up putting the ricotta in my seafood pasta and just eating the gnocchi on its own. Lastly the mascarpone cheesecake was okay. The star was the raspberry gelato that was on top. So refreshing and delicious Overall I would come back again just for the seafood pasta Alone read more

A hole in the wall but the food and interior are divine. Best Italian I've had in a long time. 20/20. Customer service was immaculate. Ambiance and wall art is beautiful. Ever single food item brought to the table was amazing. Drank: Dolci Fratelli - strong yet refreshing Appetizer: Calamari fritti - both sauces are good, taste better together. Fried veggies were pleasant. not overly battered, done just right. Entree: Short rib ravioli without pancetta - left me speechless. No pancetta because I don't eat pork. Al dente. Dessert: Mascarpone cheesecake - the gelato was so pure. I've never had a cheesecake like this before and I honestly don't want another one if it's not like this. I will be returning. read more

This is such a hidden gem! You wouldn't expect such decadence when passing by. I've passed this place plenty of times over the years and never thought to enter. Because it's restaurant week, and the menu options seemed plentiful, I decided to try it. Glad I did! Upon entering, this place is simply GORGEOUS! Unique, classic... classy... quiet. Oh man... I was in love. The customer service is exceptional. Beautiful people... good food... good drinks. I loved it. The only things were the food needed a little bit of seasoning also, they have a different price for paying with cash or with card. I paid with cash to get the discount, and they kept my extra $4, so I really didn't get a discount. I'm sure this was a lack of attentiveness of the waitress, but please... if you're going to give a discount, honor it! I didn't realize it until I got home and did the math! didn't like that! Parking - you may have to loop around once or twice, but I found street parking on the same block- free after 8pm. read more

Sotto Sopra had been on my to visit list for a long time, but I finally made it for dinner this past weekend. I shared their Caesar salad with my husband, which was a classic, a great way to start the meal. My husband had the veal agnolotti (veal stuffed pasta with smoked bacon, spinach, and veal demi-glace), which was a little rich for me, but he enjoyed. I had the frutti di mare (squid ink spaghetti, shrimp, calamari, cherry tomato, and lobster broth), which I liked (but I thought it could have been a little saucier/brothier. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine and cocktails as well. But as much as we enjoyed the food and drinks, a lot of what makes Sotto Sopra such a Baltimore classic relates to service and ambiance. The restaurant feels old school in the best way (moody, a little dark, decorated beautifully - especially for the holidays), and the service is top notch. Sotto Sopra hosts Opera Nights, when they serve a fixed menu and opera arias are sung between courses. I think they do that once a month, and they post the dates on their website. After a pretty great meal at Sotto Sopra this past weekend, I'm really looking forward to returning for an opera night! read more
