Sotto Sotto is a gorgeous, warm Italian. Just a few steps away from the Roman Baths in the city centre, the casual warmth of the restaurant invites you in. The main quality of the food here at Sotto Sotto is simplicity - and the team rely on the quality of the ingredients used rather than any particularly elaborate preparation. The restaurant is open from 12 until 2pm, and again from 5 until 10pm, from Tuesday through to Saturday each week.
Delighting in the essence of traditional Italian cuisine with a modern flair, the team at Sotto Sotto hold a strong belief in the importance of those 'Sapori' or flavours. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in the use of the finest ingredients sourced directly from Italy. In addition, the dedication extends to obtaining locally sourced fresh vegetables, seafood, and meats. This careful approach guarantees a dining experience of the highest quality that surpasses expectations.
To start, enjoy marinated king prawns tossed with an infusion of Mediterranean flavours and fresh chilli on rustic Tuscan bread, or a selection of imported venison bresaola, wild boar salame, speck, cheese and grilled marinated vegetables. Then, move on to a risotto dish of Italian arborio rice risotto with courgettes, smoked and fresh salmon, lemon zest and a touch of Pinot Grigio, linguine tossed with prawns, sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, black olives, capers, garlic and EVO oil. Some of the restaurant’s specialities include a pistachio crusted rack of lamb with mixed root vegetables and Primitivo red wine sauce, and chargrilled polenta with roasted butternut squash and pecorino cheese. It wouldn't be Italian without some delicious desserts, so enjoy the pairing of amaretto Disaronno and dark chocolate mousse, or the vanilla pannacotta with locally sourced wild berries.
