This would have been a 5 star review but for a heavy handed rosemary seasoning to the veal saltimboca.Apps were delicious, perfectly grilled calamari on arugula and a shared antipasto platter.Entrees matched as well ex. for the veal....good but overpowered by rosemary. Vongole linguine, halibut and an unique pasta with broccolini and tortellini with mushroom, shallots speck and parmesan sauce all were excellent. Portions sized perfectly; service very helpful and accommodating for any changes requested. Wine list heavy on Italian as expected with many options priced at reasonable markups. Very good bread accented with evo was enjoyed by all esp. our toddler.We'll plan to return when visiting soon.Atmosphere was attractive, open style and noise level well under control.

8/6/19Riccardo, you did it again! You continue to WOW us with your creative Restaurant Week menu. You set the bar very high, and you never disappoint. It was such a pleasure to introduce our friends to Sotto Sopra. We came twice, for lunch and for dinner. Derick was our server for lunch. It is always so welcoming and such an attentive server. Our lunches were just amazing â delicious and beautifully plated. We enjoyed two Boston Lettuce Salads, Fried Calamari and P.E.I. Mussels â such a great start. Our main courses were 3 Honey & Lavender Salmons and your Omelet of the Day. We all agreed it was just the best lunch.8/12/19 Then we came back for dinner last Monday. Your staff is just the best. We were warmly greeted by Lindsay, Patrick and Dave. Dave took excellent care of us. We again brought friends who had never previously dined at Sotto Sopra. They were so impressed with the décor of the dining room, the quality of the food and the service we received. We started with two Goat Cheese Salads, a Caesar Salad and the Fried Artichokes. We were off to a delicious start. Our entrees were Creamy Carbonara alla Sotto Sopra, Short Rib Ravioli, and two Pollo Ripieno. For our sweet ending, we savored the Gelato and Sorbetto of the Day, Apple Strudel, and Mascarpone Cheesecake. We were all thrilled with our dinners - thank you so much for participating in Restaurant Week.

What a find!! Hidden behind a large condo building is this treasure...go now while it's unfortunately not too busy as it appears blocked by construction but it's sure open for one of the best Italian meals we've had in a long time! Chicken Parm was amazing, Prosciutto over Linguine was fabulous finished w Pina Colada sherbet and espresso of course..Highly recommended..

Went on a recommendation from a family member and was glad I did. Itâs a small-ish restaurant and was very crowded, but well worth the 20 minute wait. The seafood was fresh and delicious, and the desserts were homemade. Will definitely go back next time I am in the area

We have been here twice now and both times the place is hopping. The pizza is good and so is the service. Your order and pick up your food at the counter and they are moving. The lady busing tables was so nice we left her a good tip. The MD crab soup is delicious. The fish platter was a bit of a disappointment for $13, It turned out to be a couple of large breaded fish sticks which had been dumped in the deep fryer, similar to what you get at McDonald's. It cam with corn and lettuce and tomato.

If you are looking for an excellent dining experience this is the place. The food will impress your spouse, date or loved one. The Seabass is the best I've ever eaten. While the ambiance could be a little better, the Wait Staff, the chef and all associated with the establishment are first class.Will return.

Business trip and leaving the next day so we didn't want a lot of leftover food. Very accommodating 1/2 orders and terrific, homemade pasta and locally-sourced foods. Wednesdays are half-priced wines. Magnifico!

Small restaurant with seven tables and counter but good food and service. We enjoyed some appetizers and wine then shared pizza. Food was a sty, hot and the service was good. Topped off the meal with a Nutella cream puff. Casual place for a evening meal. Would be happy to return.

It seems as though we cannot be anywhere near Baltimore without making a pilgrimage to this place for some of the best Italian food around. Everything is homemade with love â from their gigantic subs and sandwiches to the best eggplant lasagna ever tasted! You can tell itâs a fabulous find since thereâs always a policeman and/or firefighter in the throng of people placing orders to eat in their dining area or simply to take out. And then, there are the cheeses, salamis, and every other specialty cold cut you could desire. We always load up on these delicacies and bring them back to Northern Virginia with us! Give it a try â youâll be very pleased â ciao!
