Best Seasonal Restaurants in Hanover

We celebrated our anniversary here during a Ravens-Steelers game, which made the atmosphere lively and vibrant despite the extra noise. Our reservation was found immediately, and we were warmly wished a Happy Anniversary before being seated in a booth as requested. Our server was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. He expertly guided us through the menu, and his recommendations were spot on. The appetizer was exactly as described and delicious. Both entrees were cooked to perfection, and the Crème Brûlée dessert was not only perfect but also generously portioned. The cocktails were excellent with solid pours. Overall, I'm very impressed with what the Clyde's group has achieved here and look forward to seeing this concept expand in the future. Highly recommended!

A very enjoyable dinner on a Saturday night near Christmas. Jason and Isaiah provided great service with Jadon offering several good menu suggestions. We dplit the grilled romaine and butternut squash salad. The goat cheese croquette was the excellent. The shrimp and scallop entree was tasty with a good amount of scallops. The Port a Feu was fantastic. A well prepared cut of beef accompanied by fall vegetables all soaking in a rich au jus. Only slight negative to the evening was being seated right next to another table when the small room we were in was otherwise empty. The room filled up towards the end of the meal, but seating us away from the other table would have been better.

When we arrived, our immediate reaction was “little divey place”. The entrance is very unassuming giving off the impression of a small, family owned type of place. Do not judge a restaurant by its front door! Once you get past the hostess podium, the restaurant opens into this large beautiful room, with a nice level of mood lighting and tables sufficiently spaced that you did feel like you were in a bad NYC pop up. We also arrived early due to a concert, so at first, the place was fairly quiet, but as the evening progressed, the place was still quiet enough to easily carry on a conversation. The wine list is not lengthy, but has some very nice wines at typical restaurant price, both bottle and glass. My Montepulciano was very good for $12 a glass. The menu includes a good number of appetizers to choose from ranging from a charcuterie board to a number of salads. The in restaurant made pastas were plentiful and creative, including a Veal stuffed pasta with pancetta and spinach that was amazing and very flavorful, as well as several chicken and fish dishes. There was also a series of specials ranging from carpaccio to pumpkin pasta, which my wife enjoyed greatly. The prices aren’t cheap, but they are in line with a city restaurant serving high end food and wine. If you want Olive Garden, go there. This is better. Oh, and the tiramisu was to die for! Service was excellent and attentive. From the hostess who was very friendly and made sure we were comfortable to our waiter and staff who made sure we were able to make our 6:30 concert without being pushy or rushed. Sotto can be a place for families but not little ones. Dress is business casual ( it had snowed when we went there so I was in a dark pair of jeans, which was acceptable. Not a t-shirt/shorts kind of place. A good place for a business dinner as well, but not sure I’d recommend it for an office party. Overall, Sotto Soprano gets two thumbs up and definitely a revisit!

Glad you changed the dress code, more adult. Service was a bit slow receiving the check, but server had too many tables to cover. Otherwise service was good. Had a 7:30 reservation , was not seated until 7:50.

Lots of extra little touches that made the dishes special: the foamy mignonette on the oysters, the crunchy bites and pickled mushrooms on the beef tartare. Pre-pandemic, table side dishes such as classic Caesar salad and duck a la presse were on the menu- we can understand not having them all the time, but hopefully they’re not gone for good.
