    Dinner was superb, all of our dishes were above and beyond what we were looking for. Each cocktail was great. Instead of just having one of the same, we found ourselves trying to sample the entirety of the list because everything was so good. Definitely a spot to keep for the records

    The owner or maître D came out immediately and made an amazing moment taking a pic of our family in front of tree. Food was next level and can hold its own with Dc and more importantly NYC Italian. I would go far as say it was freshest and tastiest pasta I have ever had. The only minor call outs were not truly avoidable, waiter was a little preoccupied, price of food was high for Baltimore but not high for the quality of food in general. It was 9/10 and a destination eatery for the city of Baltimore. We will be back

    Christmas Day was made very special by Sotto Sopra. From the ambiance of this beautifully decorated 1850 building, to the wonderful staff, each with a smile to greet and serve you. But the food; that was the star of the day! The calamari was exceptional and definitely not you mama's calamari! It's a must have. And the goat cheese salad, amazing! The seafood pasta was loaded with lobster, crab and shrimp, and swirled in a luxurious sauce. The pork shank with risotto was very tasty and very filling. We ordered the the bread pudding and cheesecake to go as we were so full after our meal, and will have it this morning with our coffee. I just know both will be a great start to the day. Thanks to Sotto Sopra for making our Christmas day so special.

    We reserved for Christmas Eve well in advance. We had no reason to suspect any disappointment. For the past two years, we've come to this restaurant on Christmas Eve (and Holy Saturday) for marvelous food and outstanding service. This experience was a disaster from start to finish. The manager completely ignored us (despite encountering us in the wind-swept coat check area). The hostess made us wait ten more minutes for our table (which we could see, clearly ready). Our server was inept; but recommended the most expensive seafood pasta on the menu, assuring us that it had abundant lobster claw meat. Everything we questioned turned out to be different than what was promised. Fried Calamari was mostly fried veggies. The wine came from a totally different vineyard; and it was difficult to determine if it were actually the same bin we ordered. In the end, the substituted varietal was only mediocre. Our two lobster papadrelle entrées had vodka sauce with a strange aftertaste: it contained no lobster; only poor quality shrimp and "fake crab" substitute. Sotto Sopra, once our favorite destination spot in Baltimore, charged us $85 for a bottle of wine and an appetizer. Surely, they comped the dinners; but they made us feel like Christmas orphans. I guess having no face recognition with the managers automatically puts one at a disadvantage. We're never going back again!
