    Service from Megan (the OG) was amazing!! From the moment she gave us menus to the moment we pad our tab her energy and hogh level of service will definitely be a reason we come back!! The food was just as she said large portions and delicious. Usually there is something that just wasn't that good or could of been better, but both my spouse and I meals were perfect! So we're the appetizers! The crab eggs rolls and shrimp and crab dip were so tasty! Steak and lobster amazing everything was so good!! I definitely recommend this place! Some may say the food is pricey, but I honestly think it was worth every single penny!! Will be back soon!! Thanks for all wonderful experience celebrating my spouse birthday 🎂

    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.
