About Sotto Sotto
The pasta programme is Sotto Sotto's heart: tagliolini with Devon crab and chilli; pappardelle with wild boar ragu aged for forty-eight hours; ricotta-filled tortelli in sage butter that makes the case for simplicity as loudly as any complex dish on the menu. Secondi are equally accomplished — whole sea bream baked in a salt crust; slow-braised lamb shanks in the Sicilian style; ossobuco that arrives at the table with a gremolata of such freshness it recalibrates the entire dish.
The Italian wine list runs to two hundred labels with proper regional depth — Barolo from Langhe, Fiano from Campania, Vermentino from Sardinia. Sotto Sotto is the kind of restaurant that makes you mourn Italy while celebrating it, which is the highest compliment an Italian restaurant can receive.
Best Occasion Fit
Sotto Sotto is a reliable first-date choice and an excellent birthday restaurant for groups: the cellar setting is romantic at any table size, the pasta format allows sharing without formality, and the wine list has enough to please a range of palates and price expectations.
