Everything about this restaurant experience was excellent!
Everything about this restaurant experience was excellent! Appetizers, main dishes and dessert. Can't go wrong and the strawberry tiramisu is incredible.
Be the first to ReplyDecided to splurge and celebrate a birthday here.
For a fine dining experience, where apparently many celebrities like to go, this place was so very disappointing! They must either serve the "rich and famous" something completely different or the "rich and famous" have no concept of what excellent food is. Our server was fantastic; however, you could tell they were very short staffed as he and the busboy were very hurried. When our server came to our table, he was very friendly and wonderful. Too bad he did not come by that often. He did mention that they were short staffed and that the kitchen was very busy. A few times the busboy would almost throw our cutlery down on the table when resetting for the next course. He was also not consistent in setting down the cutlery. Knives facing different directions for each person or spoons on different sides of the knife or fork. Normally I would not care that much but when I go to a fine dining restaurant, I expect to receive a fine dining experience. The main reason for coming here was to have exceptional Italian food. The food itself was mostly good but it wasn't mind blowing in anyway and did not inspire us to to come back. Especially not for the prices this place was charging. Here's what we had: * Frittura Mista Di Pesce- Buttermilk-battered and deep fried shrimp and calamari with tartare sauce - the oil was clean and everything was fresh. It's deep fried calamari and shrimp, nothing overly complicated. * Polpo Alla Puttanesca - Grilled octopus served with cherry tomatoes from Pachino, black olives, anchovies and capers from Pantelleria - the octopus was grilled well and not over done. The tomatoes were nice and fresh. It was good but not the best I've had. * Carpaccio Di Filetto Di Manzo Con Tartufo Nero Di Norcia E Stracciatella Di Burrata - Tomatoes with fresh black truffle from Norcia and burrata Stracciatella cheese - one of the most disappointing dishes! The Burrata was served to us too cold and the creamy centre wasn't creamy at all. Made me wonder if we even got Burrata or if we got Mozzarella. There is a difference! * Fettuccine Alla Bolognese Di Mamma Laura - "Little Ribbon" fettucine with Mamma's famous fresh homemade meat sauce - simple dish of pasta noodles with meat sauce. It was quite bland. I think the kitchen forgot the salt. * La Carbonara - Artisanal Zaccagni spaghetti tossed with crispy pork cheek from Amatrice, eggs, Sarawak black pepper and Roman *DOP Pecorino cheese - the sauce on this dish was well seasoned and quite delicious! However, the spaghetti was undercooked. It wasn't al dente, it was undercooked. When we finally had a chance to tell the server, he explained how the pasta chef is "Roman" and how the Romans feel this is how pasta should be cooked. He even mentioned that he's had many debates about this with the chef in the past. Basically we were served undercooked pasta on purpose. He suggested that next time we should let them know that we want our pasta al dente, the Italian way. Seriously? If you know this is what your kitchen is going to do, then you should inform your customers at the time of ordering. * Bistecca Alla Brace - Grilled Prime Canadian striploin with mushrooms au jus - nice huge juicy steak with a good amount of sides but nothing super special. * Costoletta Di Vitello - Grilled white provimi veal chop - tender and juicy; however, another dish served under season. Since our table was sharing everything, the kitchen cut the veal for us. * Cheesecake with fresh fruit compote, strawberry Tiramisu, Classic Italian Tiramisu, Ricotta Cheesecake with Pears and Almond Crust - the highlight of the dinner! All the desserts were delicious and presented beautifully on one large plate. Our favourite was the Ricotta Cheesecake with Pears and Almond Crust. All in all, the food was good but did not meet expectations. Since the kitchen was so slow and we were getting really hungry, we only told our server about the food experience we had after eating. There are so many other wonderful places you can go to great Italian food and a fine dining experience. This was not one of them. If you have money to burn and are into chance celebrity sightings (which we did not care about), go ahead and come here. If you want consistent, impeccable service and food that would make you want to come back the next day, go somewhere else.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing atmosphere.
Alessandra was great in coordinating a last minute time for me and the service was fantastic as well. Food was as expected and top notch as well. Prices were fair too!
Be the first to Replythe service was ok.
The food could be better. Overall I would try it again. The branzino was the best part of the meal i will recommend to try here
Be the first to ReplyI have not enjoyed an Italian meal like this in so long!
I have not enjoyed an Italian meal like this in so long! When we walked in, the environment was warm and elegant. Our waiter was extremely friendly and welcoming even though he was extremely busy. We started off with Mamma Laura's famous meatballs, and let me tell you, the dish was true to the name. In this case, my phone did not eat first. The aroma of the freshly cut herbs, Parmesan cheese, and homemade marinara sauce were an absolute seller. For my main course, I ordered the Calamrai aka Griglia. This was the dish that sold my experience. The Mediterranean seasoning had the perfect amount of salt that coupled well with the squid. It was beautiful, filling, and exactly the kind of seafood option that I wish every Italian restaurant had.

I was excited to go to Sotto Sotto with my husband for my birthday this past weekend. We were seated at 9 p.m. and our waiter came to our table about 15 minutes later and asked if we would like some water. He actually walked by shortly after, told us he forgot about the water. It was 9:40 p.m. by the time we received my husband's beer and my champagne cocktail. There was an empty table next to us, where one of the waiters brought a bread basket, realized no one was sitting there and then gave to us. We had a good laugh over that. Our salads were fine, but where they really dropped the ball was my pasta. I ordered the carbonara, and the bucatini was hard. Barely cooked, and inedible. All in all, we were disappointed from start to finish and will never return. Don't waste your money or time.
Be the first to ReplyI recently came here with a friend for dinner.
The atmosphere and service here are amazing, where I feel the food could be better given higher price point. We ordered the clams, meatballs to start and finished with a truffle pasta. The meatballs were my favourite dish, the pasta was okay but nothing too surprising.

I expected the food to have a more exceptional flavor given price and attitude of restaurant. Did not live up to the hype. Sorry.
Be the first to Replyextremely overpriced, and extremely underwhelming.
The food was either underseasoned or lack in flavor. Probably one of the most expensive Italian restaurants I've been to yet it tasted like a three star restaurant at most. The staff and host are rude and act pretentious. Especially the host, they don't smile and act like they just want you to leave. Every thing was very mediocre. Nothing stood out - not the taste, not the quality of ingredients, not the plating, not the decor, not the service. I wish I could've like this place but I would recommend 10 other Italian restaurants than this.
Be the first to ReplyI had a solo dinner here per Drake's recommendation.
I say go for the tiger prawns. Authentic Italian food, seasoned to perfection. I enjoyed myself but I would like to go back with friends.

Where most may not admit "Or Sotto Sotto, just talkin' about women and vino" brought me here. At first hearing it, I wasn't sure of what Sotto Sotto was. After further research and high ratings, I knew I had to visit one day. That one day would finally come as my fiance was visiting Toronto. I'm happy to say the food lived up to the hype.I myself ordered the il Cacio e Pepe and my fiance ordered the Pennette via Frattina. Capped off with the torta dolce al formaggi. Everything I will say was amazing. What was once a lyric to me is now a restaurant I will frequent in Toronto.

So the funny story is, we live in the US and made a reservation (or so we thought) and learned that the Resy reservation was for a restaurant of a similar name in Atlanta GA. We were offered dinner at the bar and it was absolutely the BEST experience as we were watched over by the amazing Simone. We started with Cacio e Pepe and it was to die for. My husband had the lamb shank and I had the veal chop. This veal chop was literally the best I've ever had. (See my before/after pics)Simone directed us to the best wines by the glass (quite a nice selection). For dessert we had a torte of ricotta and stewed pears that was delicious and light. We split it but I could easily have eaten my own. Dessert was accompanied by decaf cappuccinos and I had Galliano while he had a delicious 20-year old tawny port. TOTALLY 5 stars. Especially Simone!

Such a disappointing meal and honestly so embarrassed that I suggested this place to my friends. The carbonara was probably one of the worst we have had. It was the one pasta dish our server suggested, 3 of us got it. The carbonara was so salty, cheesy and the pasta was so undercooked. We also suspect it to be cream base because it was so saucy, almost like soup. It was awful. We all had a few bites and left 3/4 of the plate untouched. We ordered the calamari and shrimp to start. It was fresh and pretty good. The bread was also not bad, nothing special. The service was average, our server seemed annoyed explaining the specials to us. Mid way telling us the specials, he asked if we are really interested in knowing the specials... He was quick at refilling our waters. That's probably because they don't offer tap water. So we were suckered into buying bottled water. We spent $40 on water alone, for four people.It's an expensive meal, which I'm honestly ok paying, if it's a good meal. This was not worth it at all, and I don't recommend.

Ordered:Frittura Mista di Pesce (~CAD$29): buttermilk-battered and deep-fried shrimp and calamari with tartare sauceFettuccine alla Bolognese di Mamma Laura (~CAD$29): "Little Ribbon" fettucine with Mamma's famous fresh homemade meat sauceAya's take:Too many people have raved about Sotto Sotto for me to not try it during my first trip to Toronto. I'm also a huge Drake fan, and knowing how much he loves Sotto Sotto, this was a must-stop for me! We stopped by for lunch with a reservation and were seated right away. The Frittura Mista di Pesce was light, crispy, and the shrimp and calamari were both super fresh. The tartare sauce complemented both well. The Bolognese came highly recommended and although not something I would usually get, I'm so glad we did! It tastes so homey and traditional yet fancy and upscale all at the same time. While waiting for our dishes, a celebrity rapper walked in, and our waiter completely forgot about us for a while. I understand the importance of high-profile visitors but I didn't appreciate that from a service perspective. Other than that, it was a great, memorable experience.

Appetizers: 1) CARPACCIO DI FILETTO DI MANZO CON TARTUFO NERO DI NORCIA E STRACCIATELLA DI BURRATABeef tenderloin with fresh black truffle from Norcia and burrata Stracciatella cheese was ok, nothing special. 2) FRITTURA MISTA DI PESCEGamberi e calamari fritti in tempura con salsa tartara. Buttermilk-battered and deep fried shrimp and calamari with tartare sauce was ok as well, again nothing special. 3) Grilled octopus was good but not the best I've had Entrees:1) PICCATINA DI VITELLO AL LIMONEVeal scaloppine in a fresh lemon sauce was didn't look that good LOL I didn't try this one 2) Creamy truffle fettuccine with shaved truffles was flavourful and delicious 3) Sea bass cooked on the grill, expertly seasoned with Sotto's seafood dressing was delicious but a tad over salty in some areas 4) Carbonara was a tad salty and the pasta was undercooked to my liking Dessert: 1) SOTTOS LEGENDARY TIRAMISUTheir time honoured classic Italian Tiramisu was so delicious! 2) The strawberry Tiramisu was even better in my opinion since I love strawberries. It was refreshing and delicious. This made the overall experience so much better. I absolutely love this dessert. It was not too sweet but yet so flavourful 3) Pistachio cake with pistachio bits was very good as well
Be the first to ReplyEver since I was young I remember people telling me that
Ever since I was young I remember people telling me that one of the best restaurants in Toronto was Sotto Sotto. I have now come to realize that those people know nothing about food. Sotto Sotto is a pedestrian Italian restaurant that survives on reputation but not quality. Thoughts that this place should get a Michelin star are downright laughable. First the service. Which is required to get to 2 or 3 stars. There really wasn't much. When asked for recommendations our waiter gave passing answers that were variations of "I'm not you so I dont know what to tell you." Our waiter was much more preoccupied with tending to the larger party table next door than either of his other two tables which included ours. This included the standard birthday dessert and song for that larger table (more on that later). For the food, which is the minimum to get 1 star. It was all very average. Nothing was bad. But nothing was good. Best was the calamari because when you fry something it's hard to screw up. The carpaccio was basic and presentation kind of bad with the dollops of sauce on the meat. The meatballs were average. No big deal. The ones I get from the airport restaurant in Toronto are better. For mains we had the bolognese (average), mushroom risotto (ok but over priced and too chewy) and the veal Limone (small portion). We ordered a lot for two people and had two of their more expensive wines by the glass as well. You'd think the service would reflect that. The waiter was MIA for most of the dinner and both our table and the table next door were sitting for very long periods of time to get our dishes cleared and bill brought to us. The kicker for me? I had informed the restaurant that it was my birthday through Amex concierge and when I called to change my time. They knew it was my birthday. They did nothing for me. Recall I mentioned they sang and gave a free dessert to the larger table I referenced earlier. This place is supremely overrated. I won't be back. It's an average Italian restaurant masquerading as a good one because some celebrities that don't have taste like to go there. If you want a good meal go somewhere else. I won't be back. There are much better options in the city than this souped up East Side Mario's.
Be the first to ReplyDark, cozy atmosphere.
Food was delicious. Lots of seafood (and big shrimp) in the pasta. The smoked salmon pasta was also nice and creamy. The Carpaccio Di Manzo was amazing. Pastas are a nice food portion. The tiramisu was basic but not bad. The service was good and the waiter was hilarious. The price of the food is reasonable. Would definitely come back again.

The best!! Excellent Italian food! You must try the pasta with clams, grilled shrimp and squid, capers, tiramisu. Everything is outstanding. Lamb chops cooked to perfection!

Every dish here is amazing, food and service is incredible and don't be surprised if you bump into a celebrity here and there. Very friendly staff awesome food and prices are fairly reasonable I highly recommend !

Drake's (alleged) favorite restaurant?After sitting on my food list patiently waiting to be crossed off, I finally got to try out Sotto Sotto!We ordered:Fried calamari: This had both calamari and shrimp with tartar sauce. I found it to be pretty average, I wasn't blown away but it was not badArugula salad: This was delicious, with a very sharp gorgonzola cheese, sweet pears and crunchy walnuts that all worked together harmoniouslySpaghetti vongole: They were generous with the clams and the flavors were good however I just wished they were deeperGnocchi: The gnocchi was creamy, but the actual pasta was on the denser side, I prefer them to be light and airy (like the kind at Cano)Shrimp angel hair pasta: The flavors were nice but the texture of this really reminded me of vermicelli noodles with a tomato based sauce lolMushroom risotto: This was a pretty big portion sharable between at least 2 people. But for $50+ it was really just mushrooms, butter, rice and cheese so I felt like this was overpricedSalmon special (?): The piece of fish was bigger than I thought it would be but I felt that it had a lingering fishy tasteTiramisu: This is their classic Italian dessert which was good but nothing to write home about.Cheesecake: I'm not a big fan of many types of cheesecake as I think its too heavy, rich and sweet all at the same time. But this was complementary which was nicePistachio dessert: The ice cream was creamy and had strong pistachio flavour and the pastry was flaky and delish Overall, the ambiance was upscale yet warm and homey which was nice however the food itself wasn't anything to write home about. I personally wouldn't come back as there are soooooo many new and consistently good restaurants in the GTA.
